for a DD car, you want stock, cuse most of us just want to save as much gas as possiable.

 

wheres the option for over 400hp with E85? I was at 380 on DLL before the BBK full. I'm still in the process of tuning and (im)patiently awaiting my ETS IC and IC piping to get here so I can get here. I have major issues above 31 PSI blowing off stock IC piping or having a major boot leak that makes the car hard to drive when pushing.

Oh and no used Evo is/was stock. It may look like it but guarentee'd there were some sort of mods taken of the car. When you buy an evo have about 2000-4000 set aside for a transmission/transfer case upgrade and a decent clutch.

 

hope to have over 400whp after cams and meth.

 

420 hp, all day with my Red at 25psi.

 

Hell, I wouldn't know how much HP on this car as I've never been to the dyno.

I guess I will let you know after the new turbo install at 200K.

Maybe I'll drive down to York,PA

 

Currently put down 475whp in Virtual Dyno Room on just pump gas.

Last year made 430whp on pump (BP 93) and 480whp on dynojet@MAP.

Last summer made 388whp on pump gas and 432whp on DB Performance's uber-heartbreaker dyno dynamics.

The car has 79,000 miles on it now, truely a daily driver, 05 w/ SSL. In the winter shut the sunroof and crank the heat here in the bitter cold of MN. In the summer, drop the windows, open the sunroof, sunglasses on, and music blasting as I bomb around for fun or to/from work, 40-80 miles per day pretty easily.

Biggest mods that make my car a nice reliable and fast, but comfortable DD are: Eibach springs w/ bilstein MR struts (smooth/comfy), Buschur's quiet/magnaflow TBE w/ bullet testpipe (quiet) speed density (smooth, idle, driveability), IX bov (holds boost and smooth), and spoolinup COP (smooth!). Extra supporting niceties include BBK Full (power), Aquamist HFS-1 (more power!), JVC's 1-din touchscreen stereo (rock out!), Mynes hood dampers (very convenient!), and beatrush undertray (aero inthe summer, takes a beating in the winter but saves my engine!).

My car takes a beating but it is my daily stress reliever. I'm sure I could make a ton more power with a bigger turbo, built motor, crazy gas, but for a basic evo build, I am extremely happy with the combo I've put together over the years.

 

501WHP, 429 WTQ, on E-85

 

380whp 350wtq. 106k miles.

 

I really like the direction this thread is going. Good info guys !!!

 

I drive mine all the time. A/C works great. It's a little loud but comfortable for me.

 

420 right now with the red on 93...... Just purchased Aquamist, fp4rs, beehives, headstuds, forge Bv, sparktech non cdi, Hoping for ove 5

 

561 whp daily driver

 

Right at 400whp on stock turbo and e85. A true daily driven car for me.

 

wheres 600whp pump/meth

 

How much do you get on a fillup? Honestly with a bigger turbo and the way I drive I get the same if not better mileage with mods and a proper tune than stock.

I'm at 512whp/413lb-ft running 92 + meth on my stock block, stock 6-spd, and <gasp> stock clutch. I'm at 44,000 miles and I hope the clutch continues to hold (still feels fine).

Things I would still like in the car to make it better are a 2.4L and a beefier clutch so I have more peace of mind. I'd also prefer to run ethanol but there aren't any stations nearby and I don't want to run a big drum of it in my garage.
