Hello forum users, I posted this on the General Automotive Section as well. My current Evo 8 setup produces 260 awkw on a built 2L engine. My plan is to upgrade the turbo and the upgrade should produce around 370-380 awkw on E85. My question is whether the standard 6 speed gearbox would be able to tolerate the above mentioned power level? I have never launched the car and do not intend to in the future. Will the gearbox be able to cope with the power in normal everyday driving? My preference is not to convert to a 5 speed or a dogbox. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello Forum members, Just got my Evo 8 tuned with a forged engine with GSC S2 cams and BBK Full turbo. The results are below: 278 awkw on 98; and 323 awkw on E85. What 1/4 mile time and trap speed can I expect with 98 and E85 tunes? Cheers, Simon

Thanks for the reply Mick. I don't know the compression ratio. Is 300kw with 98 or E85?

Hello Forum Members, Just built the motor on my EVO 8 with Nitto and GSC components. The motor is able to handle 35 psi. I also plan to run a BBK Full on 98 and E85 on dual maps.Anyone running a similar setup? If so what power and quarter mile time can I expect from 98 and E85? Would a Precision 6262 be suitable for street driving instead of a BBK Full? Posted the same question on jdmstyletuning forum. However, no input has been provided. Cheers, Simon Simon
