I have an 05 evo with turbo back my buddy has an 04 sti with turbo back and intake. The evo from everything i have read or seen the evo is faster but he pulls on me hard. are the evos faster?

 

Is your car tuned?

 

no its not

 

STI's have more grunt.
Get a tune and that will all change.

 

i think my stock evo pulls harder than my stock sti, that i traded for the 9 mr

 

you might have a boost leak or something that is slowing you down

you never know

 

Could be driver too, switch cars and see what happens.

 

Stock or lightly modded and no tuning for either party I have always pulled on evos even one stock rs with just a mail in reflash. I am not the fastes driver, but maby for the fact that I was running an evo I was more willing to abuse my STI on the launch. One tuned evo 8 around here running a 3065 I wont run because I know it has maby 70-80 more HP than I and he runs his car hard.

 

whats going to do more for me a tune on the dyno or sending my ecu somewhere like dynoflash?

 

Tune on the dyno. Also tell you friend to get one too since he needs one anyway. Then run again.

 

If you do even a mail in flash, you will stomp that STi. From a dead stop, it probably has more to do with who is willing to launch harder. I always just do roll ons, it is easier on the car, and more telling of real world driving.

Jestr - FTW!

 

gbmoto313, you have an evo 8. aside from the TBE you should get a walboro 255 fp, a MBC, bov and a K&N drop in. Then work on perfecting your launch and get a good tune. Once you do that you will stomp your friend. As far as tuning goes, you can tune on a dyno, do a mail in or find a tuner than can street tune your car. I also recommend if you dont already have a boost gauge, oil psi gauge and a wideband so you can monitor a few of the vitals of your car.

just my .02

 

 

change cars next time...
