Maybe Evolution Imports can bring in that Holden Monaro (aka future Pontiac GTO). Based on those results that car seems pretty bad ***.

yeah it's not to bad. They're thinking of putting a 200k aus dollar price tag on it so to be honest Id rather get a GTR. I mean with all that monster under the bonnet of the Holden and that lap time still isnt even close to what the GTR did back in 1992 and 1993 it still holds the lap record. but anyway im sure it would be a big hit in the states tho

I was just wondering does any one know how many PSI the EVO is using to get to 275hp?

I have been running my Evo 5 at 22-25 PSI for about two years every day. Engine management needs to be addressed to make it safe but the stock internals are quite strong. Better parts are insurance for if you do something wrong.

WRC4ever. I think that 18-20 could not be stock. My guess is that someone has worked on a car with those numbers.

If you are doing it right I am told that the limit of the stock rods is at 500 HP. They will bend. How HP relates to boost is tricky as most people have also played with valve timing, ignition and fuelling to get there.

I'm thinking either you have a bad boost gauge or the wastegate actuator is stuck closed. I will check it when I see you tomorrow. 1.4 bar is too much for stock.

1.4 is fine on the stock TD05 as long as you have added ethier a computer or chip to enable more fuel. I used to have a 6.5 Tommi and well chucked a 3 inch, cold air box, hks sqv, ceramic kevlar clutch, apexi power fc, and was running 1.5 bar standard. not a problem in site. then later down the track upgraded lots of new stuff forged pistons, hybrid TD06 bla bla bla and was running 2 - 2.2 bar and was doing 11's not a problem.

so in short as long as you have enough fuel being delivered to the engine and an exhaust so that it dosent restrict the flow, you should be running 1.4 not a problem.

Are the EI cars all street-legal and delivered to customers already?

If so, post some pics!
