What turbo / mod combo is needed to consistently straight line perform like the title?

 

The 0-60 mph in 3 seconds is obtained better with smaller framed turbos. The stock Evo 9 turbo with the proper bolt ons and tuned agressively for E-85 will net you close to the 3.0 sec 0-30.

Years ago when I had my Evo 8 MR and put my data on a google acceleration calculator and use to come to about 3.3 sec 0-60 buy I had just about evey bolt on available.

11 sec 1/4 miles can be done with a variety of turbo combos. Aim for something with ball bearing, also the 0-60 will have to do a lot with the tires choice and your set up for launch and how well you lunch it.

Prolly around 500whp and the most important mod of all.. A good driver.

 

Well im not an evo pro and new to these cars but have been into many cars in the past...I know the R35 GTR does 0-60 in 2.9 seconds and 1/4 mile in right around 11sec and both the evo x and GTR have all wheel drive and have similar wheelbases and dimensions so if you had a evo with 450whp and kept the all wheel drive and had a good launch or launch electronics im sure those numbers could be possible...and it probably wouldnt be THAT expensive either!! Im guessing around $15-20K

 

GTR is actually probably a little wider and a good amount longer than the evo...But i havent looked up the dimensions so im not sure...

 

The gtr is why I asked this question. There are a couple in my area and we have played around on the highway and now I want something that can hang with a gtr.

 

My father just purchased a 2012 GT-R and what many people overlook when talking about competing with an R35 is how blindingly fast the car is capable of shifting gears. It takes about 1/4 the total time changing gears compared to a traditional standard transmission car with a good driver. This helps the GT-R pull away a bit between every gear, and keeps the turbos in nearly full spool. This is a distinct advantage unless you're a fantastic driver and minimalize time between shifts with drastic results compared to the average times that an average driver produces.

To beat it from a complete dig will be a challenge, the launch software, especially if they're running a Cobb AP, is pretty much flawless and very, very fast. Any driver can get in the car, flip the proper switches, mash the gas and they're off 0-60 in 2.9 consistently. To launch an Evo consitently at such speeds is much harder, that's all the driver. Oh, and some REALLY great tires!

But, despite all the technology crammed into it and the aerodynamics, the GT-R remains a heavy car. It's a few hundred pounds heavier then a X and nearly 800 more then a VIII/IX. This helps level out the playing field between the two cars for the better.

 

yes, from a roll in 3rd (up to speeds that we were comfortable with) I can keep it right next to me and not let him pass, but from a stop not even close. They are nuts.

 

lolz...u guys should stop bench racing statistics......
these guys drove almost all the fastest cars in the world and heres their review....

its the math.................

0:53 is epic!...
lol!

 

To hang with a GTR in a straight line you need significantly more power than it and/or the dual clutch. Shifting by hand may have advantages in the turns, but in a straight line the computer is far smarter and faster than you are.

 

actually if you want to talk numbers you'd need the same amount of power maybe even a tad less, it all comes down to power and weight, specially since they're both the same platform (awd front engine) the evo with smaller wheels would also technically putt he power down better due to less rotational mass and a ratio closer to 1:1.

 

Actually the EVO knows when your in a corner and shifts into the right gear to come out. The SST is just smarter than our lump of grey fat

 

Very true. I've owned 2 SST cars and am in a manual now. SST is faster and smarter than I will ever be. The only down side is it's more expensive to upgrade when you want to up the power.

 

The 0-60 time is practice time and the RIGHT combination of parts and tuning both engine and suspension. The power to weight as long as the numbers were correct or matching the GTR the CAR (Evo) would be capable of getting there. The rest is on the driver.

The main thing as far as hitting your marks would be to aim a little higher than you would want or in the ET case lower. If you build for a 10.5 car you should hit the marks you are going for. Now the trick is to do it all at UNDER the sticker price of a GTR.

 

I think my setup will net all this with a little weight reduction and a good driver (maybe me with some practice). Just need to dial in everything.
