if you watched the show, everyone talking about charles blowing up engines....
maybe thats WHY THEY HAVE 2 engines. they built 2 for the car, so if anything goes wrong, they can swap the other engine at the competition and keep going.
and i do think that these are terrible cars to compare.
EDIT : ADDING THIS INFO FROM PREVIOUS POST PPL HAVE SAID, THIS IS MY .02 cent.
"Doctor charles has worked on older 4g63's before. He appeared on a television program on Discovery Channel a few years back, called "Street Racer". They had him working on a DSM Eagle Talon TSi that was set to race against a Civic owned by a Leila Flores of Temecula, CA."
wow thats crappy, there is no reason for a civic to out perform a TSi if it was the AWD kind. stock to modded the AWD turbo should whoop butt.
and onto the fit from last season, i believe they were running on 3 cylenders cuz they blew 1 of them from running to much boost due to boost controler or wastegate failure, im not sure exactly what happened. but he did blow that engine too.
THAT IS WHY they made 2 engines for the evo, cuz they know they suck at engines and when they blow the first one they will have a second one so they can continue to compete and hopefully win the challenge.
