im not saying id efinitally have that much HP
im saying this is what i was given fro specs from the dealer
******* you people on here are ignorant!

 

i'd take it back man

 

stock evo is 289hp @ 6500 rpm so that doesn't seem unreasonable to me

 

look at my first post on this thread. I questioned what they told you. You then refuted my statement by claiming a "cheap boost gauge" and "the dealership" told you otherwise. Cheap boost gauges and dealerships are full of sh*t most of the time. We're trying to help you here.

I would get that car in the hands of a professional tuner as soon as you have the time.

 

agreed. maybe he is running that much boost (I'm still very skeptical), but on pump gas he won't be running it long.

 

VERIFY those claims before you do ANYTHING...

1) dyno the car and verify the WHP and also log the boost.

2) log the car w/ a datalogger (evoscan) to monitor the vitals (eg. KNOCK)

3) attach a decent boost guage to monitor

Turn the boost down to 22psi first. If its healthy work your way back up to this claimed 33psi.

leaving it at 33psi, w/out knowing anything about the car and assuming you can floor it, launch it etc... is an excellent way to have a blown evo. I mean what part of 33psi doesnt raise a red flag to you?

 

what is parron are you trying to say perrin (very good intercooler!) i dont believe you can get 33psi from a stock turbo.and if your boost gauge only reads 25 psi it will not be accurate above that point (probably not accurate anyway you said yourself it was cheap) .it is imperative that you get the car tuned .i bought a car in a similar state and blew the motor cost me alot of cash.should have taken to a reputable tuner as soon as i bought it. good luck.

 

hey guys come on. i mean people come here to learn. theyre new so they dont know that much stuff about evos. and gettin 397hp with 33psi on stock turbo safely is a bit retarded, but he might not know that. just tell him nicely dont be mean. hahha.

as the rest said find a good local tuner, and as for now drive conservative just to be safe, as you can see my mods and my numbers were 333 whp and 308 tq just to give you an idea

 

easly solution. Buy a boost gauge and have it tuned for 22-25psi..I'm sure if you keep driving it at 30+psi on pump gas for extended periods of time something will go south..

 

where can u get the evoscan software btw?
Thanks,
