Anyone know what the limits of the stock block, internals, and drive train are? As far as HP/TQ numbers, for the GSR. What kind of power are people running reliably on their daily driven X?

What is the weak point? What goes first?

 

over 9000

 

Really? I heard it was well over 10,000

 

Hmmmm. Obviously neither of you have a good idea. It continues to amaze me some the comments that get posted on here.

So, I am assuming that this is probably common knowledge by now.

Has anyone found the limits on the stock internals and DT yet?

 

you got the responses you deserved. search.

 

Doghead,

We are making 614whp on a stock block right now and the car is a daily driver. This is with a standard 35R Garrett Turbo with our ETS Single Scroll Turbo Kit.

Thanks!

Michael

 

I have a good idea actually.
Ask a retarded question, because youre too lazy to search. Then expect a dumb response.

 

It's a forum people not a database. Topics will be covered numerous times and new things will come out every few times a topic is covered. No need for the attitudes. Can't we all just get along?

 

rawrrrrr

 

Short answer: no one really knows. Couple guys pushing 500+whp, some 600+whp. But it becomes a question of, how long will they last? Don't know yet as they haven't blown up yet.

 

Cool. So basically it's still up in the air. I see. I come from a mustang community where with the 2V 4.6L it was common knowledge what the limitations were, because they have had a lot more time to figure it out, since 96. Thanks to the guys who made real responses to my thread. I am no newbie to car forums, I did a search, I did not find a definative answer. I thought there may have been more development on the topic. For those of you with the not so helpful remarks, this is part of what I feared about joining the "import community", you are proving that image to me which I do not want to be associated with.

 

Ryan gates has been making over 500whp on his stockblock and has not had any problems. I think he broke a gear or something, but I am not sure if that was power related.

Search Gates311 and you will find his car. It is a full track car and still has the stock block, so I think he has put his stock block through more pain than anyone else out there as of yet.

 

Rodney King said the same thing.

 

Not power related.

But here's a post with my experience regarding the reliability of the Evo X:
