yeah, i just wanted trinababe to explain that to me since he/she was clowning it so much.

 

Al has gone the fastest of anyone with a GT35r kit on an EVO, he ran 9.98 at 138 mph with AMS's turbo kit on the car. I don't know who is next fastest with a GT35R kit, probably either us or Curt Brown who also had AMS's kit. AMS has definetely sold more GT35R kits than we have and sold it to more guys that have been willing to actually put together a combination correctly and take it to the track. That is one of the keys to going fast, the correct combination.

Our black EVO did run 10.12 at 141 mph with our off the shelf, current GT35R kit. Using our cast manifold (it is not a stock manifold, we had it cast) and the turbine housing with the integrated 44 mm Tial wastegate. This is the exact kit we sell and ran. The 10.12 was also done with a maximum boost of 33 psi, we could not run anymore boost than that because of issues with misfires at higher boost. Those have since been resolved..........thank God.

Stock motor or built, and ported head or no ported head, just curious

 

Not sure which car you are asking about but I'll go out on a limb here and say anyone running below 10.90's with a GT35R on an EVO had a built shortblock and head.

IMO, you cant beat the Buschur or Shearer GT35R kits. AMS is the baddest looking kit and is of course proven to be bulletproof however, the fact you can get the BR for $1400 less and Shearer for $500 cheaper I think makes those the better deal. Full-Race is also flawless and incredibly badass but hella-expensive! I would have to say if I had a job right now and was actually making money.. Id go with the BR or the Shearer. $0.02 If money was NO option, AMS or Full-Race definitely

 

1 AMS
2 AMS
3 AMS
Or you can piece your own kit together.
Not a Fanboy but AMS has been doing the damm thing. I called a shop once that sold turbo's and they told me AMS has the best kit out. JUST A LITTLE TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ME. I cant see spending $5000.00 for a turbo kit. If money was no object I would ship my car over too them. As far as maifolds are concerned 1. Full race 2. Ron Shearer my 2 cents.

 

AMS Is proven top quality kit. You can't go wrong with their kit.

Fullrace is a work of art. Seen this manni and words cannot describe how good it looks. No reason it wouldn't perform as good as AMS. Just noone has yet to run the numbers on this kit.

Buschur kit. Best price. I like the cast manni and the savings. 10.1 at 141 is as good as any other kit. Buschur has proven that headers look great but are not adding to the performance very much if at all.

RNR very poor quality. The workmanship is just not there. Although this kit may perform well I would choose another kit.

Shearer is known to be a fantastic fabricator. I haven't seen this in person so I can't comment.

For the money. Buschur kit wins.

 

Yea I am building my kit right now.. I have a buddy of mine fabbing up a manifold.. He builds manifolds for honda and he is about to start building them for evo's, He welds great and he is only 18 haha, few pics of his work here, http://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1425152

 

Well after reading this thread I don't really wonder why Trina's Evo has so many problems all the time...

 

Full-Race

 

My broke @ss car is still faster than yours It also has to do with the steep learning curve I am putting myself in. I have never used a twin-disc, I have never used the AEM EMS, I have never used Methanol Injection, etc, etc...

And for you Dave, I am pretty sure "Cozmo's" car went 10.8x at 127-128 on a stock motor Ill beat the 10.9 barrier as well. Too bad no one will give me a prize

 

Congratulations... you go 11.5's with a 35R with methanol and I go 11.9's on the stock turbo, stock intake, stock intercooler, and pump gas....

The point of my post was that you have a very one dimensional way of looking at a lot of mods. And the "cheaper is better" mentality will only ensure that your "broke a$$ car" will continue to be a "broke a$$ car".

To the original poster...

You get what you pay for, quality costs money. If you want something that will last, install easy, and be hassle free, you're going to have to pay for it. To that end, look at AMS or Full-Race. Buschur is probably a great bang for the buck... Shearer's stuff looks good too.

Quite frankly I don't just look at the numbers one company claims, but look at their products as a whole. AMS has a LOT of fast cars running their kits. Full-Race has a well established history in the turbo kit market and their quality is top notch. Buschur's been around forever and he knows what he's doing. Sometimes his products have an "old-school" approach but they get the job done, no doubt about that. I would mention the Vishnu Stage 3 kit, but then I'd just look like a fanboy, so I won't say anything about it.

You gotta pay to play... pay now, pay later, it's up to you...

 

vish stage 3 is only a 30r right? will the 35 bolt up to it? i was under the impression that it wouldn't Steve.

What kit do you have "broke a$$ trina"?

 

I did not have methanol at the time just so ya know I also did run it with a large boost leak, low boost and a junk clutch. Your right though sir, I dont need to make any excuses... none of those problems were from buying less than par parts. I ate the clutch, it was a good clutch. A weld broke on the BOV flange (Again, not bad parts.. and if you really want I can send you a PM with who welded it on and some pics). And the low boost is because I was trying to get the best I could with that clutch.

And about my broke @ss car always being one, your right. But at the same time it will always be faster than yours and Ill spend less doing it. I noticed you pay people to tune yours... you obviously know more about it than me.

 

You dont use "kits". The same reason I dont pay people to tune my car. I dont feel like posting a list of the parts on the car... my mod list is floating all over the place on this place
