First encounter with tuned and bolted MR

Well like it says MR auto so no calling driver mod , tuned and bolted , about dead even but the balt pulled on it....

Surprisingly they have a decent top end. Wasn't expecting that , maybe some one who is more informed with the MR can chime in.

Was a DAMN good race ... I was surprised he was keeping up with me actually.

Twas Fun !!!!! He said it was around 385 HP+ is that accurate for these? Ive seen a few on youtube but ....

I have a new Droid mount that has a camera hole on it now so I will be able to catch some of these here soon ....

Evo MR right? 385whp is alot for a bolt on with tune. well it depends on the Dyno i guess. if he had bolt ons, cams with a tune i could see around 360whp. who knows though. i made 338whp 324wtq with just a turbo back exhaust, intake and a tune.

the top end is pretty good after being tuned, i took mine to 8k once and it pulled the all the way up. i dont have an MR though.

DSG, not auto, but auto shifting regardless.

They aren't very quick in stock form, about even with my stock 350Z, but like any turbo car, there's a lot of room to gain power in a tune.

Guess it was a X. 385 is hella lot for bolt-on and tune. That one video was posted up here not long ago of a X going from 235whp 266wtq. Then slowly added bolt-ons, long story short 328whp 311wtq was the outcome. But whatever, even if it was 385 wheel, good for you woman!

385hp is puching it my buddy killed his MR's dual clutch gearbox after hitting 410 and running it hard on the streets.

those transmissions are not built to handle great power. they fail.

This.

The 4b11 gets great power from bolt ons. I would still guess around 350 though.

Well here's the deal on the MR:

Displacement: 122 cu in, 1998cc
Power (SAE net): 291 bhp @ 6500 rpm
Torque (SAE net): 300 lb-ft @ 4400 rpm


TRANSMISSION: 6-speed manual with automated shifting and clutch


DIMENSIONS:
Wheelbase: 104.3 in Length: 177.0 in
Width: 71.3 in Height: 58.3 in
Curb weight (C/D est): 3700 lb


PERFORMANCE (C/D EST):
Zero to 60 mph: 5.3 sec
Standing ź-mile: 14.0 sec
Top speed (drag limited): 150 mph


So the car has ball park HP as GM 1 Balt (to crank). BUT>>>+700 lbs baby! That's equivalent to giving up 70HP right there. So yeah..to *keep* up he would need to get those ponies back.
YEP, that Evo would need to be around 360 HP (crank) to run with ya.

her post didnt say 385whp it said 385hp+ could have been bhp, usually people dont put + when they know thats what its putting down at the wheels, they put + when they are estimating.

this makes me laugh. if an evo was making 70hp more than a cobalt it would win.

Well that Evo would definitely give you a run for your money if it had the 385 HP they claim. I assume your car has +325 WHP?

Dyno, tuned with an Accessport

YouTube - Evo X dyno tune
I have the dyno sheet at home. ill take a pic and post it later.

the power delivery is amazing. so much easier to drive than with a Cobb stage 1 tune. it just wants to pull.
