Yes; sounds like a good kit, but it wasnt available when I bought mine (no stock I think). The parts are slightly heavier I believe.

Of course! I'll probably go for something around the 800cc/min mark to decrease the fuel pressure and be able to run a slightly bigger turbine

 

Hi TT

I dont know where you got the idea from that I have a 3037. I am still on the stock turbo (for now ) The car is much torquier low down an has much better mid range than a 2l motor. In fact, I have 400 ft/lbs at 4000 rpms and 400 bhp at 5000 rpms. That's a nice mid range for a stock turbine car, wouldnt you agree?

I was taken around Tsukuba in an Evo 6 with a 3037 turbo kit without stroker: the car only started going at 4500 rpms, very laggy before that. I remember we were going into a 2nd gear corner in 3rd and the driver floored it. Felt like a rental car when you accidentally shift from 1st to 4th I have to admit it pushed well above 4500 rpms though , but in a very linear manner, all the way up to 8,000 rpms. I personally like the car to be more brutal, so the punchy mid range is the type of thing I like. I guess it's a matter or preference...

 

Yes, it's the big 16g with a titanium compressor wheel from an Evo 6 Tommi Mäkinen Edition.

It's an estimated crank figure from a 340 bhp wheel figure. But I doubt the dyno was accurate. In fact, I broke it (there's a thread about that in Evo General )

I doubt that the car needs much over 4 seconds to reach 60. It does 5 seconds to 60 stock and is lighter (we measured 1365 kg curb weight full of oil, water, gas, brake and clutch fluids and even a roll cage), it has sticky tires (Yokohama AO32R), a paddle clutch with a stronger plate and about 30% more power and 40% more torque than stock.

I totally agree for a rally type road, twisty with lots of 2nd and 3rd gear corners and hairpins, the performance is all about the torque (and braking and body rigidity of course).

I sold my Civic Type R this afternoon (200 bhp with VTEC, had it 2 months) and I liked the screaming engine over 6000 rpms, pulling all the way to 8400 rpms. Sounds like it's going to explode Fun to drive on a track or fast road, but lacks traction for the twisty roads (no front diff, FWD only). I liked it, but it's not good for my use.
