Hi guys. This is just for an FYI. I usually tell people that Evo's are capable of a 13 flat 1/4. But they doubt me, many are Evo owners themselves. Well I was looking through the registry of member's ride's pictures. I came to a yellow Evo owned by housedj. Bone stock, ran a 13.09 at 107mph. True he was using 100 octane fuel, but he is still stock. I doubt the octane added anything being at stock boost. Not to mention his 60 ft time was 1.9, he was at well over 1000ft elevation and in a warm environment(Firebird Raceway). So even if the fuel did anything he had those factors working against him.
Still makes me happy as I own the same car. Awesome run housedj. You're going to be a monster once you start upgrading.

 

Housedj is nowhere close to stock. He has two Evos, and the one with mods ran a weak 13.0@107, because he thinks running 25psi is ok. If you want actual proof of Evos running 13-flat, look at my sig for a 13.1@104 on a 1.92 60', then go check out HiBoost who did hit 13.0@105, but this something you only see with 05s on a regular basis. The 03/04s weren't really capable of it, but a few expert drivers claimed to have done it (e.g. MalibuJack). I also think whiteevoviii got a 13.0@105, and now he's doing 12.2s with TBE/SAFC/K&N on race gas.

 

It's possible. I ran two 13.0's back to back on stock boost.

 

Very impressive. Standard 03/04s only hit 101-102mph in the 1/4, regardless of driver. Something had to be different to hit over 104 with ~20 less whp. Maybe yours was a bit stronger than the average evo, plus you knew how to drive it...

 

Are the other two MR's or regular Evos ?

 

thx alot man. i only spent about $1500 MAX on power mods. & yes Warrtalon 25 PSI is ok since i have no detonation & run the heater full blast at that level. now that i'm looking into a liquid to air i/c & 109 VP unleaded, i will spike the stock turbo to 32PSI & let it taper to around 23PSI. do not overlook the stock turbo. it can max at 500 crank hp!

 

my sig shows my mods to the '03...

 

The other two are 05 GSRs.

 

Yeah, you go right ahead. 25 psi for you = 107mph. 22 psi for me = 111 mph. I did 106.3 when stock + S-AFC on stock boost. Not sure why you think the turbo is efficient at or beyond 25 psi...

 

great times in your sig, but i assure you it will be alot slower here in az with the different elevation, no humidity, & oh yeah, it's gonna be 112 outside today...

 

& who cares about how efficient the turbo is. when it blows i'm slapping on a 25G anyway.

 

oh wah wah

 

who doubts an evo's performance anyway? evo means performance, you gotta be mad to think evo's dont have good performance, hmmmmmm, i like that word, performance

 

How did this turn into an argument?

 

because some people just cant play nice
