if 05 evo8 stock vs 03/04 evo8 same skillful driver can a 05 pull 1 or 2 car on the 03/04????

 

What do you mean by "boosted up"? All 05s can run 13-flat in stock form if driven and launched properly. It takes a poor driver to not run low 13s.

 

"Pulling cars" is not the proper measure to use. In the 1/4-mile, the same driver would get .3-.4s faster ET in an 05 than in an 03/04. This equates to 2-3 car lengths. In a shorter distance, it would be a little less, since the 05 will be going 104-105 while the 03/04 will be going 101-102 at the top end.

 

I believe it was a 03.

EDIT: On a second note. This thread is ridiculous and needs to end. Moderator please step in and close this thread.

as of stock form with mbc to hit low 13's???

 

This thread gives me a headache. Time to unsubscribe.

 

No, stock means NO MODS. 05s can drive off the lot and run 13.0@105 with no mods whatsoever.

 

Which is faster an 05 stock or a 03 with just a flash?

 

Depends on the aggressiveness of the tune, but I would say that puts them about even if you go by the 20whp assumption.

 

Are you for real? You people kill me!

 

Well I just got back from the Local dragstrip and hopefully I can help bring this thread out of he gutter. Yes I am the one who ran their Bone stock 05 SSL Package (heavier) down the strip at 500 miles on the odometer after proper break-in. I was able to build what must have been about 6-8 psi of boost at the line using the 5k stutter and mostly not burn the clutch up for some low 13's. Best pass was 13.0 @ 105 and the car was stock down to the airfilter... no flash no boost increase. The only thing I did to counter the weight was to remove the spare tire which is always out of the car these days.

Tonight I had a rough time with the clutch and I knew it would be trouble. First attempt at only 18 PSI I lined up and got into the 5k stutter. I'm building about 8-10 PSI at the line and release the clutch when the car barely moves forward off the tree... the clutch is totally overwhelmed and the tires have too much traction to spin even at 35 psi pressure. I still ran a high 13 run but it was severely handicapped to say the least. Next attempt went very similar and I had to give up on leaving the line with any kind of boost at all.

Third and later runs I ended up just revving to 5k and leaving the line at 0 PSI for very unimpressive runs with 2.0-2.2 short times. Eventually I was able to get some 1.8x short times and turned out a 12.547 @ 111.63 run to end the night. I was considering continuing for another couple runs but decided that the clutch was going to be too frustrating to risk failure. After all this is my daily driver now so I did the responsible thing and stopped there. Considering this was on 93 octane street gas at 21 PSI and .94v across the board I think the trap speed holds up pretty well. Next trip I'll try some race gas and go for a little more boost and leaner O2's but breaking into the 11's is going to require a clutch that can hold the power reliably. Amazingly I have no problem launching like an animal on the street with just a slight rev but the track is just too sticky to consistantly do that every time. I'm thinking along the lines of an ACT 2600 as that has worked well in my Eclipse GSX with more power.

 

You didn't consider disconnecting the switch? My worst 60' this weekend was a 1.79, since I was able to launch at 6k rpm, but I paid the price for doing nearly 20 launches when my stocker finally gave in, so you did the right thing by calling it quits. You bested my best mph on a 104/93 oct mix (110.71), so I think you're making great power. I actually think you could get 11s with race gas on the stock clutch for sure if you disconnect the switch.

As for ACT, they don't have the 2600 anymore, but rather 2900. I, too, used nothing but 2600s on my DSMs, and I loved them, but they don't refer to them by numbers anymore. They just call it the ACT Heavy Duty, and it has a 2900# pressure plate. I went with the street disk, since my MR is also my daily driver, and it will be installed and ready by Friday, so I can let you know how it goes. I don't plan on dragging with it, though, because my 6spd is gear-limited to just under 111mph, otherwise I might have trapped over 111 and with a slightly lower ET. Knowing I can't overcome the gearing, I don't plan on shooting for 11s. It's all auto-x/circuit now...

 

I just installed my XEDE stage subzero tonight. This is on a bone stock 03 EVO.

I did notice more top end but I still dont think it is as fast as the three 05's I have driven.

That hotside must make a pretty noticable difference!

 

My buddy's 05 did not feel any faster than mine when mine was stock also. Besides, it wouldnt matter when im gonna upgrade the turbo anyway.

 

I cant believe I havent seen this thread til now. Warrtalon is right. These 05s are very capable. I know I havent even installed a boost controller yet and Im still running 12.2-12.3 on the strip. I think I might actually turn the boost up and go out again with stock cams to try and hit 11s. I think i can do it so I better prove it. I dont think its been done so Ill just have to do it. Exhaust, safc, drop in filter and boost controller 22psi should just about do it. Damn it warrtalon now I have to wait for my cams just to do this ****.

Ps. I might try and get a clutch installed by then so I can get a 1.6 60ft. My best on stock clutch is 1.71
