SS/SC vs. Evo 9MR
 

ok my buddy owns a evo 9mr and we raced last year from a 40 and a 60, and i only lost buy a car for say. by the way he has full bolt ons that time except a front mount. now he has all the same stuff just a tune. what you think the out come will be with everything in my sig as my parts?

You're gonna get smoked. Shoulda got an LNF. Tune only and the Evo would be TOAST.

lol what you think it would be like if i had a TVS?

depending on the tune, a evo can put down close to 450whp with bolt-ons added.. sry bud just dont do it.

well his intercooler is maxed out the guy that tuned it said, and he estimates around 350whp. What's your opinion if i went TVS?

the meth will help you out with a tvs but at most with a good tune your looking around 340'swhp and you need to get a 3" exhaust.

i already have a full 3 on the car right now. i'm debating going tvs or zzp lsj turbo swap.

turbo. turbo. turbo. turbo. < thats my turbo chant.

oh ok i was looking at the gmpp manifold :spam:


well if you ask me, if you have the money go turbo. i say this because if you want more its 10x easier to achieve hp than a tvs. i have a 05 ss/sc and was recently converted to turbo with the hahn kit and on a mediocre tune the shit dips soooooo fucking hard its just stupid. but dont do it just for one race, do it for you.

yeah i know what you mean. well after driving his evo the one day. we switched cars i was like im going turbo. lol but it will so good to beat him because he thinks he sits higher cuz of his evo. lol i know tvs just seems so much easier, but i want a turbo swap it. idk which one though hahn is expensive.

hahn=$$:lol: trust me but to me its worth every pennie. i still dont regret the money i spent. i kno myself and i was going to get a tvs and call it a day but i thought to myself and i wasn't going to be happy with it for long so i did the turbo and man the car drives better than before and it just nasty. it puts you on the level on racing bikes. i raced 3 so far and only one pulled me at mid 4th gear and mind you i have a 2 1/2" cat back still.

well that 2 1/2 is sorta nice cuz it's keeping you with some back pressure. i went from the gmpp touring to the 3" vibrant and wow i can feel the lack of bottom end. lol i still need to get it retuned though idk how much of a difference it will make. like i said i lost by a car before untuned and now he is tuned so idk the difference will be.

evo 10 end it all

evo's are nasty with a tune and bolt-ons but there is only one way to find out right;)

yea im not worried anout the exhaust right now, i just want a nice street car. this weekend im installing my spec stage 3+ clutch with some friends. after that im turning up the boost to 18psi and ill see what happens:lol:

what??

evo 9mr was the best evo made. yeah i was suprised i only lost by a car like it was that close. on gm stage 2 with full exhaust same header and dp, just a different catback.

That's a bit high, but the gist is right. You're going to need more than bolt ons to run with a full bolt on MR. He's probably capable of trapping 112+ and with their awd you can't even consider a dig. If he swaps the hairdryer, THEN he could be 450awhp, 400awhp, 500awhp, whatever. Any way you look at it, you're toast. Don't be too discouraged though, the 9 is a fantastic car.

yeah there from 40 and 60 rolls. i think his drivetrain loss being awd kicks in at higher speed cuz i was slowly gaining on him through 4th

Wow this is the most retarded post ive ever seen.

Race him and find out.

Nitrous would even things up quite a bit.

Dont mod your car to beat 1 other car. Thats not going to get you very far in the long run. All he has to do is drop in some cams/retune, or add meth/retune and you are back to square 1. I had an SS/SC prior to owning my IX MR and now my X GSR. I've gone through the scenario you have described. Here is what an I/E/Cams/Tune is capable of:

I know the cars owner as he is local to me. You will need to trap somewhere around that to have a shot at your buddy. Just out of curiosity, what makes you say that the IX MR was the best Evo ever made?

I don't understand why you guys are critisizing him so much. It's good to have friendly competition. It ends up making you both faster in the long run. I remember being in high school and one of my best friends and I both had cars that we kept modding against each other. That was fun times.

I mod my car because I do it for myself. I just want to beat him that's all. I think I saw your car in greensburgh dark charcoal without a wing?

Go race him for fun and find out. Thats what its all about! My friend has an 8 MR and he was trapping 120+ at the track last year but I still race him just to see that thing move out :lol:

I should mention that he has a 2.3 stroker, precision 6262, 282 cams, and shepard 5-speed trans...that may be useful info lol
