so ive been looking around and for my next evo (hopefully in a couple weeks) i want to build it to be very fast. but i want it to be a daily driver or a car that i can drive around town a little. i want it to reach atleast 500 hp to the wheels. so to everyone thats done something like this i want to know whats the biggest turbo i can get to have a reliable dd. plus a list of other upgrades i would need to have to go along with the big turbo.

also might be thinking about making it a 2.3l? who knows. hahaha let me know guys.

 

35r meth cams stock motor stock head and ur good for 500whp

done deal

also search

 

2.3 with meth and a turbo smaller than 35 would be good

 

woulf stock motor and stock internals hold up well with the gt35. how about the 37r for a dd? too much??

 

any more opinions?

 

37r would be too laggy for DD IMO... I would go with a 50 trim, FP Green, 3076, or 3065... Those would be suitable for a broad range of horsepower.. You can achieve great numbers on any of them and they are all great for dd!

 

So the stock motor will be okay with a gt30, how about the clutch just wondering. will my clutch go out? i have 32000miles on mine

 

clutch will need replacing once mods are in, it will not last very long with high hp

figure that into the costs, and with such numbers you'll need a great clutch, which can be pricey

 

2.3 30r and meth will be a ton of fun to drive

 

+1 but maybe around 430ish-450ish. right?

 

3065. IMO, 420whp is all you need for dd, keep it reliable. Buuuttttt, if your going for 500whp dd, I would certainly get a built block. Go with the 2.3L block and a HTA35R.. never look back.
