Evo 8 watchout!!!

[Karding]

yung harapan daw mukhang Pontiac Sunfire and likod Altezza taillight ng Civic.

[1.8T]

yup.

[Paul]

pangit daw talaga fuel sa states. kaya nga may different sa specs ang jdm na engines sa usdm engines.

[Karding]

Pangit kse hindi namin ma achieve ang full HP ng car kung hindi mag pump ng 100octane gas gaya sa EVO8. In exchange of a lower octane, bawas polusyon naman. Japan doesnt have a regulation as strict as the US DOT and EPA nazis. My car has 3 catalytic converters, can you believe that? Sa Japan isa lang ang cat ng WRXs. Hindi papasa sa US DOT and EPA ang WRX kung hindi dagdagan ng cat-converter. Pero siempre, pwedeng alisin.

[Paul]

ako tananggal ko cat ng kotse ko! :lol: kaya ba yan sa states? btw, my engine is a us-spec sr20 pero isa lang cat niya.

karding, we're cool dun sa kabilang thread right?

[Karding]

Paul, no problem regarding sa thread. Di naman ako name-mersonal, peace tayo siempre.

hindi lahat ng car dito 3 and cat Paul. WRX lang ang alam kong 3 ang cat. Lahat ng car dito may cat at least one. pag nahuli ka ng pulis na walang cat dahil sa sobrang ingay, impound car mo ng 30days. Fine of at least $1,000.00 and an added point sa drving record mo. magpapalit ako ng up-pipe, down-pipe and mid-pipe 3 months from now para lakas hatak. yung mid-pipe, high flow cat-converter, yung up and down pipes, straight pipe and no cat na lang.

btw, Infinity G20 ang tawag sa car mo dito. Luxury division ng Nissan. I like that body too!

are you going 3" full exhaust?. ako nagpalit ako ng 2.5" catback sa jetta ko and maybe this summer I will whange into 3" downpipe and a race cat.
maraming 1.8T jetta na hindi naka cat dito and it does wonders talaga.

yung audi ko eh pinalitan ko ng 2.5" catback exhaust, cam 272 or 276 latter.

[RS Sprint]

Pero IMHO maski pangit fuel diyan sa California, kaya habulin yan ng tamang fuel and ignition mapping para lumakas makina without necessarily resorting to boosting up power. Mura nalang naman GReddy E-Manage eh kung budet ka.

I'm sure mga onaks maglalabas din sila ng mga stand-alone ECU's for the USDM Evo 8, like yung AEM kit. Sana naman, mahal ng piyesa ng mga Evo dito sa Pinas eh kasi lahat gawa ng Hapon or sa Europe.

[Karding]

1.8T, 3.1 to be exact, Turbo-back exhaust. Di ko alam kung lalagpas ng 300hp ang combination ng mods ko. Hindi sa ayaw kong lumagpas ng 300hp, pero di na kakayanin ng tranny and axle ko yung HP. A remapped ECU, up-pipe, main power pulley, and a colder plug will give me a total of 280HP from 227hp. I'm assuming na a cat-back alone will give me an add'l 10hp (at least) then mated with down-pipe. ewan kung ilang ang added HP ng down-pipe.

RS Sprint , siempre kayang kaya habulin...pero I was just referring to stock ECU. I was just trying to point out that 271 was over-rated, Mitsu was probably using a 93 octane to get 271hp. Pero hindi naman lahat ng state may 93octane. Vishnu dynoed four EVO8 and only 247 ponies were present. Pero baka daw dahilan yon ng mababang mileage pa lang (1000 miles) and the octane rating.

Vishnu Tuning for WRX
Sub-Zero: 260HP
Stage 0: 280HP
Stage 1: 300-310HP
Stage 2: 340-350HP
Stage 3: Warp speed ahead...hehehe

[RS Sprint]

Karding,

Kaya 300 crank HP sa OE tranny mo. Meron dito 225 wheel HP (pushing 300 crank HP)and climbing na Subaru WRC dito, naka 18's pa. Pina-pang drag pa, powershift all the way to 5th.

[Paul]

yun ba yung impreza na parating nakapark sa labas ng autoplus? ganda nun!

[1.8T]

turbo back & downpipe should be over 20 hp increase. I was going for an apr stage3(290 horsepower and 296 foot-pounds of torque at the flywheel on 93 octane gas) 2 months ago but decided to get a big screen tv and another project car instead. maybe next summer.

ang masarap lang dito sa u.s. eh madali kang magupgrade kung ano gusto mo kaya very tempting.

[RS Sprint]

Paul,

Yup yun yung tinutukoy ko. Forgot to mention nagswap na siya ng STi / Brembo brakes and 6-speed tranny. Hindi pala bolt-on. Order siya bagong driveshafts / hub assembly na kasama sa brakes at I think prop shaft. Sayang yung makina na nakuha niya blow-by na.

Ganda ng Prodrive niya na mags noh? Medyo kung lang pagkakalower IMHO.

[splerdu]

OT - gas octane

Diba aside from the environmental issues yung fuel na binebenta sa states nagbabago din dahil sa season changes? Pagkaalam ko pag winter usually yung fuel na binebenta lower ang octane kesa doon sa summer fuel. Mahirap pa kung may gas station ka kasi pag malapit na mag-winter tapos may stock ka pa ng summer fuel sa distribution tanks, kailangan i-discard otherwise yari sa API.

buti pa sa japan... nagbabasa ako sa site ng JIS, requirement nila for fuel to be advertised as "high-octane" dapat minimum 100MON. figure that will be about 105-110 octane in the states, and about 110-115 octane using philippine measurements... no wonder they can have 1000+hp skylines and supras 8O

[Karding]

splerdu, great point and you are right kapatid. mapapansin mo na tumataas ang gas prices kung summer sa states dahil sa pag drain ng lower octane sa tanks.

BTTT:

RS Sprint, 300HP is taking a chance on my OE tranny. Ayoko masira tranny ko then hahagilap pa ako ng tranny if I messed it up. maganda na yung may back-up agad. mahirap wala sa budget ng mods pag nasira tranny. medyo mahal yon 8O . nabasa ko sa last reply mo, nagpalit na sya ng STi 6-spd tranny before 300 or after 300?

Prodrive P1 ba yung nakita nyo? Bigat lang kse ng P1, pero it wouldnt matter kung 300HP, hahaha. alam nyo bang 85% of Subaru owners have the ROTA wheels? Mabentang mabenta dito yan!

1.8T, sinabi mo pa bro, kaka adik ang mods ng car :mrgreen: good thing about the Vishnu Stage path, kung may Stage 0,1,and 2 ka na, deduct mo na lang yung price ng Stage 3 kse Stage 3 components comprises stage 0-2. Stage Zero is best bang for the buck, $1,300 and WRX's HP will jump to 280HP. I had my GS-R Integra and kulang pa ang $1.3k to get the HP I need :mrgreen:

[RS Sprint]

Karding,

Nope Prodrive GC-O7C mags na kinabit niya.

AFAIK nagpalit yung owner ng STi 'box after siya mag palit ng turbine, so he had 225-227 wheel HP even before nilagay niya yung STi 6-speeder.

[Karding]

wow! I wonder kung pareho ng specs ang old tranny nya and mine. Pero knowing how ridiculous they trim the US specs down, I doubt it.
GC-07C, eto pala ang ginagaya ng Rota SDR.

[DY3JRM]

I believe somewhere in my c drive i have a mpeg showing JUN's evo (yellow one) very interesting. In my opinion and since i have a follower of an evolution forums and scooby mas capable ang EVO kesa sa scooby. Last two week i had an opportunity to test drive an EVO 8 all i can say is RAW POWER... and comparing it to a SCOOBY ... masyadong malambot...in cornering mas gusto ko yung EVO.... as for the tranny you wouldn't really care if there is 5 speed or 6 speed especially when you are in the TRACK.....

I'll take a 6.5 makinnen anytime...

RIDE ON...

[RS Sprint]

Sabi nga sakin ng 3 local tuners na its easier to coax power out of the Mitsu 4G63 kumpara sa SUbaru EJ20. Pero the new JDM STi with the twin scroll titanium turbo (like the Evo's) seems to be very good in OE trim power-wise.

did you test drive the STi version? It's evident that WRX is less capable than EVO8. Since EVO8 is the direct competitive model of STi, comparing WRX to EVO8, I think, isnt fair.

I'll take any car (EVO8 or STi) if I can afford them :lol:
