yo

No selling gauges I've still got my for sale thread for my aquamist kit that I need to get rid of https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sa...ction-kit.html

sold my exedy twin disc

I'm just barely shy of being able to have my shortblock shipped to me so I need to get that kit gone and locally would be awesome

 

But but but i love those damn things. One day your gonna go out to your car and your gauges will be missing and will just laugh and say damn it jaremy.

I am looking at a set of the link gauges. Trying to find em used but those beast sell like hot cakes.

Too bad i all ready bought my Snow kit or i would have bought your kit.

--I want my car back-- hopefully.. next week.

 

seems like every car you get you blow it up hahahahahaha

 

Its kind of a gift. Which if this is the case Ford Rangers are bullet proof haha!!

Yeah i blew my turbo, oil pump, ac compressor, possibly high pressure fuel pump, possibly cams, possibly cam follower.

I do work son.. all in all a few grand in damage.

Gotta love a warranty mmm.

 

nevermind

 

I'm sorry jake but EVO > STI always FTW

I love that video, Top Gear is the best, and if it weren't for following it religiously I'd get really sad watching that video.

Here's the next minute or two you are missing, where they test the base Evo X (not the FQ360 that Jeremy drives in the video you posted) and the STi with the Stig driving. Guess which car is faster? Guess how close they are?

1:28.9 Evo VIII (for reference)
1:28.22 Evo X GSR

Aaaaaand, drum roll please...

1:28.20 STi

Not saying either is worse or better by any means, just saying that the video you posted only proves that Jeremy likes the Evo X more. The only thing it even comes close to proving is what I've been saying for years has a "chance" of being true: The cars are nearly identical in performance. I've driven plenty of old STis and Evos on track, they drive very differently, yes, but they perform very similarly when the whole picture is put into play.

The major thing they miss too is that with the best of tuners an otherwise factory X will likely make at least 20 more whp than an otherwise factory STi. There's more room to grow with the 4B11, as there is with the 4G63.

Even when I had the VIII I was an avid "equal rights" supporter, when all the Evo guys were coming on with articles and what not showing how the Evo was clearly "faster" than the STi, I was always the one jumping in saying "Yeah, and what tires do they both have on?" The factory tires on the VIII and IX were worlds beyond the factory tires on the old STis, I mean... they were 225s to start... One magazine did a test (I can't prove it, so don't believe me if you don't want to) where they put exact equal tires on otherwise stock of both, and basically through all the tests they tied. The Evo won a little over half (yes, a little over) and the STi won a little less than half IIRC. Tons of tests too, 200 ft skid pad, 700 ft skid pad, track, drag, wet course, slalom, etc etc.

 

Regardless, no STi will ever have the badass airbrush job you have on your diamonds I wonder if I could do something sick like that, like a starry sky or something to go along with the original Suby emblem.

 

What turbo should I do if I want to make 350-400 wheelhp with not a lot of turbo lag

 

i'm not saying either one is greater either. i think they are close to each other as well. that's y i always way at sti guys as well as evo guys. the vid just made me laugh. get some air brush done, be one of a kind. i think it would look sick.

 

Evo ix turbo or fp green/fp red

 

I WIN! Except Hangover ftl

 

red is way overkill for that type of power and it would have lag

evo9 turbo,
FP greeen
BBK lite
Buschur 20g

all of those turbos would be perfect

 

Does the 20g or fp green use the stock manifold and are those external or internal wastegate

 

they use the stock manifold and are internal wastegate
