Having driven both an Evo and an STi my impression is that the Evo makes its power at lower rpm. I have been spoilt by gobs of power at 3k. This may explain the different numbers for the two cars.

 

I think you're thinking of the 2.0 Sti, whereas the US Sti has a 2.5L and makes far more torque than the Evo in the lower rpm range.

Curious to know what the 360 put down to the wheels?

Thank you

 

sti > evo. end of story.

 

End of story? Hardly.....

what is double clutching?

 

When I first saw the stock dyno results for the STi, I first thought to myself, wow! It is much less than the wheel HP of a stock Evo. Why is the STi losing so much power at the driveline! But then I read further the most powerful Evo made only 190HP at the wheels. I thought that can't be right. I see many stock Evo's making more power than that. Usually 230-240 at the wheels. How can a car making only 190hp at the wheels run low 13's and under 5 sec. 0-60's. Could you imagine thw power loss if you were to make 271 at the crank and only 190 at the wheels. Something must be wrong with the dyno. Pruven gets better numbers for stock cars on their dyno. Well over 200 at the wheels.

 

Cltuch in, gear shift to neutral, clutch out, rev engine to match RPM with what they will be after shifting down, clutch in again, gear shift to gear, clutch out.
