you want to play, you got to pay

p.s. imagine buying a mbc that comes with a disclaimer:"will cause reliability issues if boost is increased"
I was just about to post the same thing. I don't know why this isn't obvious.

Not all stock engines and transmissions and other parts are the same. It is impossible to do.
Heres the kicker..
Its really hard to know if the parts or assembler who you put your engine together are at one end of the Bell curve or the other in terms of reliability.
So you just have to go by the stats. If 90% of the evos on the road with similar mods to yours do ok, then you can sleep peacefully for 90% of your normal sleep cycle, and spend the other 10% sweating like a child molestor spending his 1st nite in prision...
Well said, I especially like the last part

Wow.... After reading this, I didn't know ppl got that dumb. I would LOVE to hear how this guy thinks about the 1g and 2g DSM's prior to the Evo if these are his thoughts...

are you ****ing retarded?

you are asking people why so many people blow their evo motors that have stock internals....

all the evos you mentioned had well over 100 whp MORE than they do stock and if their tune wasnt perfect, BOOM

any car with 100 whp over what the car was "intended" to handle from the factory is at huge risk of blowing up

I dont think its the motor, i think its your "good tuner."
If you worried, sell the car and buy a daewoo.


AND CHECK YOUR CAP BUTTON. If your keyboard is fine, it must be your malfunctioning neurons, because your receiving info and is having trouble transmitting that info to other cells.
see your local doc.

I made 378 on straight 93octane. Sh*t happens.

BTW this thread is absolutely retarded. Ive been running around with this power level since my car had 3500 miles on it. I have 60k now. I beat the living daylights out of the car.

There are numerous people with 550+whp on the stock block... 370whp is a joke to our motor. Funny you know all these guys with "weak stock pistons" yet the 50 EVO owners I know havent had that problem.

C'mon man, even you admitted yours is a freak. Its not normal to dish out 370-380whp on pump gas with the stock turbo.

No its not normal because a lot of people go right to upgraded turbos instead of REALLY maxxing out the stock turbo. I have a combo that only one other guy has and on race gas he went 119mph.
