I have a friend that wants to race at the track this spring. He has an 04 Sti with just turbo back and no tune.

By Spring, I will have an AMS turbo back, mbc set to 21, and an SAFC-II tune done with my new wideband.

Assuming even drivers, who will win?

 

Hmm would be close. The evo sucks stock. You would get cleaned up by the STI stock vs stock.

 

The title says Evo 7, your signature says Evo 3 and your profile says Evo 8?

That being said your car should be faster with those mods -- however not by much.

 

at that point it really is a driver's race, with the mods the evo should win, i think you win because you shift one less time than him, the 04 sti is a 6 speed correct? I think considering equal drivers, and with mods, you have the better car and that you should win, but again, if hes a better driver he will win. But you have the advantages.

 

i think the sti would take your lunch money.

 

I raced an 04 STI with my 03 Evo with a AEM Intake, a Stock BOV put in backwards because I am an idiot, a Joe P MBC, and a Buschur SAFCII set to his specs. I pulled the STi by ALOT from a roll, wasn't close. I was running 19PSI.

 

LOL, I did the same thing one time and it took me forever to figure out what was causing the whooshing sound coming out of my airbox.

With equal drivers, the evo should definately win. I don't know what is up with the STi's, but they just aren't as fast (relatively stock ones, anyways), despite larger displacement and higher bhp. I don't get it, but I love my evo.

 

I had an STi w/ Utec (custom tune), Intake, and Turboback. I ran 12.7 @ 107.4 with a 1.7 60 ft. You should beat him.

 

stock sti vs. stock evo8, if seen it and the evo pulled the sti pretty bad. when u meen racin at a track u mean drag right? if so you should surely win. that what i think anyways.

 

guys i raced a 2004 sti yester day with a stock evo8 with a cat back i was infront till 180km/h then he comes like a bullit .... i dont want to highjack the thread but want to ask whats the stock boost of the 2.5 sti and the 2.0 sti ?
he said he is running stock boost but i saw the boost controler on and he said it stock boost !

oh ya i also raced the new M5 from Zero and was infront till 160km/h then he flyes as if he has noz !

 

...Stock vs. Stock I have yet to lose to an Evo from a dig or roll...it's a drivers race, I just ended up being the better driver.

 

all i know is the sti's i've seen run at the local track w/ bolt ons are still in the 13s. I also know that people w/ an open downpipe (stock) and mbc turned to 25psi and a 1.70 60ft have run 12.5xx so in my opinion... if your a really good driver, no contest. If your a decent driver.... welll.... no contest sti's run what? 13.3-13.2 stock and evo's are rated at 13.5-13.4. Turbo back will be a huge gain, especially up top, along w/ more boost and a decent tune, running 11.8 afr on your safc-2. Shouldn't be much of a race. Make a video =] or just go race already, tracks have been open here for over a month hehe

 

its def a drivers race stock vs stock

 

interstate, the evo. drag probably the sti. im in an 05 evo, so i dont think that makes a difference but thats what beat the sti.

 

You should beat the sti, not by alot but you should beat him. Its all going to be in the launch and who gets off the line first. Without a tune that car isnt putting down that much hp, and i believe the Sti weighs more than the Evo as well. Dont hold me to that, plus the fact that hes going to be shifting into 5th gear through the 1320 doesnt help much either.
