lol Luke.....just need a big sock over the T51 and should get thru Regency as is :laugh: .................................NOT

Evos are unbelievably fast when you see them in action. A mate has an Evo6, have cruised with him and done hills drives with him, unbelievable.

And the sound that thing makes at high RPM is phenomenal, never heard anything like it, it was.... like a bark more than anything.

Phenomenal cars, love em. If you see them driving flat out you will appreciate...

Problem is they are worth much more than 33's so a trade up is not on the cards, not as long as we keep throuwing money into that sexy R33-shaped pit.

.................... go the money pits.

Beauty about Evos is the standard ECU, AFM, injectors, etc... can handle so much. This guy pulled up next to me at the lights and turned his boost up to 19 PSI and took off.

Right now I'm running 13 PSI and can't run any more without spending big dollars, injectors, turbs, ECU, bla bla bla all the usualy crap but that's a lot of dosh.

he can get in a standard evo 6 (apart from exhaust) and turn it right up. I'd be interested to see what it puts out on a dyno....

got a few mates with evo's and quite frankly i wasn't impressed! maybe all of the hype about them didn't meet my expectations, it was fast shit you not but to me a rwd is still more exciting! but i guess i don't like them but respect them for being fast!

^doubt it... i'm putting down almost 200 and he was miles ahead, 4 car lengths....

was this of a stand still launch, if so they of course he will be in front and given a long enough rd you would reel him in

steve's onto a point

evo's, rexes and the like are quick off the line, but are limited to top end gearing (considering their heritage is for fanging sideways on gravel at 140+kmh)

mid sized cars (skyline, supra etc) are relatively quick off the line, but still have a better top end than the smaller 4wd turbo cars

then ya big 8s are good for top speed, but not really for take off with extremely low gearing

    • Nah, I think the current user name suits me pretty well
    • Ooo, quite aggressive! I hope there'll be a professional taking photos on the trackday that you can get. Should look great there!
    • I think a lot of you hit the real issue, these brands aren't making cars at a competitive price. Lucky that Foxxconnnn didn't buy Nissan otherwise the cars would be built by 13 year olds doing 15 hour shifts like iPhones. This reminds me of British Leyland. 5th largest global manufacturer in 1968, collapsed by 1975 with only a couple of brands escaping to be owned by Chinese brands today. Along they way they vacuumed up MG, Jaguar, Daimler, Rover, Land Rover, Austin, Morris, Wolseley, Mini, Triumph, Riley, Alvis,  Yes, they had other problems but the basic issue was the wrong production (and therefore retail) price. If you are a car manufacturer and you haven't noticed China coming, its already too late.

    • I can't help with the clearance question, I've always taken my machine shop's advice on that. It is worth considering that a shop that does that every day for road cars will be looking for as good as they can get off the shelf, not perfect. If you want more careful race style "blueprinting" then you need a race shop to measure/machine the engine. I do have an opinion on line boring the block though....don't do it unless you have to. The crank centre moves higher but the oil pump stays in the same place when you line bore the block.
