Remove the TC from your car and tell me if you feel a SLIGHT decrease in hp.
The TC adds a lot more than 10hp/3lb.ft.
Notice I stated... "For the slight gain in hp that you get". Until you spend countless hrs working on these cars you would never understand.

power curve? From what ive seen the power curve is whats makes the difference!
Anyone agree?
Thank you Skillmatic!
I agree the topic is gone, thats my point and why I got pissed. Dont answer questions with your lack of knowledge and hater posts, just go discuss topics your EVO VIII with other EVO VIII owners. I stopped surfing this forum just because of how many more stupid posts there are vs ones that help. Really, just drop the know-it-all attitude.
And about the VIII with a IX turbo, it might of "felt like" but it wasnt as strong as a IX. You need some 272's AND TUNNING to come closer. Strap the two back to back on the dyno, you'll see.
Al, David, and any experienced DSM'r will agree.
And in terms of pride of making your car faster, I respect that. But been there done that several times. Not trying to brag, but I wanted something fast that responds well with minimal bolt-ons.... With 4 doors and handels as well as a elise. (almost, just .2 mph slower through slalom!)

Now you add the 9 ecu and mivec thats where you get the hp and tq from. I can gaurantee you that if you did swap turbos you will not see any gains of hp and tq. Now maybe with the 20g turbo you will but not a 16g.

I love honest people...

I would encourage you to be more understanding of the mods.

This has already been proven by Bushur, why dont you ask him and im sure he will be glad to tell you... The MIVEC is NOT responsible for all the gains on the IX. The MIVEC also is like having an adjustable cam gear on the intake camshaft, which they are able to control timing electronically through the MIVEC resulting in better low-mid range hp and tq, simple as that. Those 2 combinations will yield that kind of power, but like i mentioned most of it comes from the turbo itself
You obviously don't know a damn thing about turbos. The A/R housing is the same size the only difference is the hotside. The hotside is a 10.5 where the 8 is a 9.5. However, this makes no difference in power except that the bigger exhaust side allows for quicker spool time. Thats it! This is why mitsu incorporated a better impellar shaft made out of titanium because of the quicker spool. The titanium shaft decipates heat much better than the conventional stainless. All your 8's have a stainless shaft.

For example, a cam gear will NEVER do what MIVEC does. With Mivec the cam is swept back and forth from +X to -X degrees several times through one sweep to redline. A locked down cam gear is set where it will make the best power. You lose some to gain some. MIVEC gives you the best of both worlds and better drivability.
