WOW ....I can't believe someone referenced a mitsu tranny and included "bulletproof" in the same sentence

 

I think the Evo tranny is pretty bad ***. Send it to TRE and spend a few hundred bucks and it'll last forever!

 

I think the Evo tranny sounds like just as much a POS as the DSM tranny was.

And just like the DSM tranny....a TRE workover is probably worth every dime and solves alot of problems. Mitsu should have the TRE crew design the X's tranny!

 

Few hundred bucks, meaning how much? I've got an 03 and my gears seem fine so far.

 

the engine is pretty damn strong. the same setup in my car made 496 whp on a dyno jet... on stock internals. as far as teh tranny its very strong unless ur an idiot. (i was one sadly) i ve been launching at 7k for about a year now but finally i messed up bad. i got that rps carbon carbon clutch and i tried the same thing.... and it didnt slip so i grenaded the transmission. TEAM RIP is fixing it now.. they are real good from what i hear!!

 

496 WHP?

can that be daily driven?

 

Sure ....you can go to the track every day, but I bet it would get boring after a while.

 

Why yes it would.

 

its perfectly daily drivable.. remember thats only on race gas.. so on pump its like 100 less.
the gas milage kinda suks tho... thats why i bought a civic as well.

 

probably get owned for this but what/who is TRE? and i've heard it is common on the 03s to have syncro problems, mine needed it at 24k without extremely aggressive driving

Let me clear things up, sorry for the typo i was on a hurry. I'm asking not just on internals, but the evo in general, meaning tranny, lsd, engine, axles. But mostly pistons, valve train, rods and all that stuff. I'm most curious because i'm planning on stepping things up a bit and i just wanted to have a general idea of how far could i go in terms of whp Btw what i meant was that my friend is constantly saying that evo's are pos in terms of mechanical problems like broken t-cases and blown engines, i disagree, maybe not so much on the lsd, at least not in 03 evos

 

i would have to say 450hp to 500hp and then looking to start brackin the thing

 

Anything can be daily driven because everyone has different standards, Al drives his car daily along with a few other 700WHP Evos.

 

+1 I think it depends a whole lot on the owner, hell people say the evo clutch and flywheel are one of the worst ever and i still have my stock ones for 26000 mi going strong. Still 450 to 500 is pretty damn good. Thats actually my goal, yeah right. If i had a nickle for every evo owner that said that and actually quit modding
