Beat an Evo

[PSINXS]

My buddy Jason has a stock EVO 8 and we and 5other cars were on our way back from HIN and JAson and I got into a highway race with an h23 accord(Jamie). I drive a 91 240sx with an sr20 with a t28 on 14psi and some other mods. i actually started a little behind them so they got the jump. BUt i quickkly relled them in and pass the both. NOt much to brag about since EVos suck on the highway stock being AWD. Still happy i beat the Evo though. If u wanna call bullshit go ahead. Jamie is a member on this forum and Marcus(MR.Big on here) was there also. I had got my car fixed just in time for the show.

[Spyder]

your car is like a supra on hwy runs. all 240's with SR's are. GJ i guess :)

[PSINXS]

This is my first 240 with an sr. I knew she pulled well but never reall had any highway races with her. Now i know i guess. I dont know about being like a Supra( at least not a large single one) but she holds it down.

[TRAY_STi]

yeah good job. Evos stock dyno around 235hp and 250tq.

[Dragonfly5338]

good job there. :) evos don't exactly suck on the highway - but stock and in 5th gear, there's definitely a disadvantage to most cars. my car pulls nicely on the highway, but it's not stock, and the evo loses its awd advantage.

(insert classic spurned evo driver line here) Now race him from a light!! (<-- that's just a joke, but all awd drivers say that to any car, no matter what it is, hahaa)

good kill....sorry to get off subject but what does your screen name and liscense plate stand for ( or am i just mispronouncing it )

[PSINXS]

PSINXS= PSI-boost N-in XS-Excess Boost in excess. i run over stock boost.

[B16a2 Civic]

ahhhhhhhhh, i get it, very creative, im sure most people got it, im just simple minded Lol.....back to teh subject at hand...good kill ;)

[ct9a gsr]

Not hassle'n you 'bout your kill... but just letting ya know, stock evo's are slow. 13.3's avg ET stock... add a mbc and tbe ($750) and they do 12.9's avg ET or quicker.

Also, stock evo's hold about 16~17psi towards redline and carry a 10.5ish A/F @ WOT... Mitsu likes to play it on the safe side, I guess. This is why a boost controller is one of the first mods ppl don on their Evo's. ^.^

But none the less, good kill.

[PSINXS]

i know stock ones are pretty slow. but surprised how i pulled him. my sr20 is no sap so i know i had a good chance beatin him

[mogallo]

Good kill..... Evo owners.... stop making excuses!!!! An evo got owned by a 240!!!!


MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! :D


Cmon now.... you guys knew i was going to say something.... it was just a matter of WHEN!!!

[Kevykev]

i can't beleive that people are considering a 13 second quarter mile to be 'slow'....

that is great a time for a street car.

Good run Brandon.

[PSINXS]

Thnx Kev! u know Jason with the Evo dont you?

[Kevykev]

the red one, possibly.

[PSINXS]

yup thats him. u know his bro has an Sti

[SLOWR/T]

damn i wish my car was slow (13 sec 1/4). whats a 16 sec 1/4??? just woundering

[PSINXS]

16 secs? cars still run those times?





j/k

[WINDSOR]

Once you have a car that can run low 11s at 122+ 13s is dog slow. My talon runs 13.5s@101 ish and is slow as hell compared to when my mustang was running 11.3s@122 with the 150 shot.

[SilviaK93]

your car is like a supra on hwy runs. all 240's with SR's are. GJ i guess :)

I remember the days of SR highway runs................sniff sniff....

On a properly tuned SR with good power to weight a SR will pull ridiculous from 50mph to 150mph..........believe me I have been there many times! :D At 50mph I could drop the car into 2nd and it would spin my 255's with ease on a bone dry hwy 20! :)

I need to sell the Z and build another 400hp+ SR..............hmmmmmmmmmm......getting very tempting!!!!!!!!

[mogallo]

Silvia - your name isnt Matt by any chance is it?

[SilviaK93]

Silvia - your name isnt Matt by any chance is it?

No

[SilverJester]

congrats. Next to mitsu, nissan is my favorite car company

[SandM]

Good kill..... Evo owners.... stop making excuses!!!! An evo got owned by a 240!!!!


MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! :D


ok, thats like saying you got owned by a mustang.....

[HiPSI]

i had a little hwy roll-on with a modded evo, good bit higher than stock boost on stock turbo, exhaust, AEM, etc... my car is stock T25 running 14psi, both of us hit 4th gear from ~60mph roll and it was dead even for about 4 full seconds and then he began to ever so slightly creep away, maybe 1ft every 3-4 seconds.

so you having a bigger turbo and it being a stock evo it doesn't suprise me at all.

[flysi00]

yep im with erin ^^ i ran a evo in my sr and i keep up with him when i had my stock turbo t25 at 14 psi

[mogallo]

ok, thats like saying you got owned by a mustang.....



Too bad that doesnt happen.... :shrug:

[mogallo]

No


K, just making sure.... i know a Matt that has modded z06...

[Sport1.3]

ive tried keeping up to a stock evo but came up alil shy once the car got up to about 130 from a 60ish roll, but almost dead even up to that point. im sure my weight advantage and larger turbo really helped but im only pushing 8psi on a t03/t4h in a fwd protege making like 195 whp and 220 lbs, and my gearing sucks... i can see this happening very easily in a modded SR...nice kill

[Z33_kid]

nice job

[BLk92DA]

seriously. i need a 240sx wit a sr. too much b seriez on the road :(

[PSINXS]

there are too many sr 240s on the road. i drive a cliche tuner car. but i like it.

[Sport1.3]

i can't beleive that people are considering a 13 second quarter mile to be 'slow'....

that is great a time for a street car.

Good run Brandon.

hell ya id love to run a 13.3 in stock trim. im pretty sure i would just be breaking into the high 13's with all the crap ive done. that 240 must be nice. good kill

[PSINXS]

Well i aint killin shit now since my TCT just broke and jumped time. I pray to god i dont have to do a rebuild. i start taking her apart at my house today.

[eViLMunkey]

all I have to say.. .you beat a STOCK Evo... ;)

[PSINXS]

of course. with exhaust and dp i think he would take me.

[1439/2000]

Not hassle'n you 'bout your kill... but just letting ya know, stock evo's are slow. 13.3's avg ET stock... add a mbc and tbe ($750) and they do 12.9's avg ET or quicker.
.

Um he drives a 240. They are REALLY slow stock compared to 13.3. They run high 15s stock. With his mods he should be right around that time in a 1/4 with a higher trap than an evo. PROPS.

[JITB]

^^ hes right

[Speedm0(\)key]

of course. with exhaust and dp i think he would take me.


maybe not. i think its still a tossable win

but more than likely the evos clutch would begin to slip or it would break its transfer case.. so you'd win dont worry :D

[1439/2000]

maybe not. i think its still a tossable win

but more than likely the evos clutch would begin to slip or it would break its transfer case.. so you'd win dont worry :D

Ive never of an evos transfer case breaking from a turbo back. That just doesnt make sense.


I remember how it was in my 240 and pulling on evos on the highway. I had 325 to the wheels and busted some modded evos asses. I still pulled a 1.9 60ft too.
Its not like he couldnt go from a dig and keep up then pass him. Just needs an lsd some decent tires/clutch/driving abilility and he would be able to hang off the evos ass for a while then pull on him.

[eViLMunkey]

w/ dp and exhaust yeah it would pull... and speed you're one dumbass... the evo's haven't had really many problems w/ the clutches or T.Cases... at all....

[PSINXS]

with stock clutches i heard they did have problems and that was coming from an evo owner. but for the most part they are reliable. and i think TBE evos run low 13s high 12s? correct if i am wrong. if thats what they run yeah i think he might pull a bit.

[Dragonfly5338]

stock clutch is the weak point, yes. but i've been running 12s for a while with a stock clutch, no problems. it's getting worn because of the hard launches, but that's to be expected.

upgrade to an aftermarket and no problems. i think people blow transfer cases when they don't know how to launch correctly and they dump the clutch at 7k rpms. that would mess up most cars. :tongue:

[eViLMunkey]

Hey val.. look what I'm looking at getting w/ in a year... http://images.autotrader.com/images/2004/8/31/169/610/1000587830.169610626.IM1.MAIN.565x421_A.562x421.jp g

[PSINXS]

22b?

[AznTraitor]

Too bad that doesnt happen.... :shrug:


yeah it does.....do you forget that easily?

just check the second page of the kills forum and you clearly state a Cobra pulled on you, and then you shut it down, which means you lost.

[green91]

Too bad that doesnt happen.... :shrug:

I'm pretty sure White99GT has given you a standing offer once he gets his car done

[Speedm0(\)key]

w/ dp and exhaust yeah it would pull... and speed you're one dumbass... the evo's haven't had really many problems w/ the clutches or T.Cases... at all....


yes they have, and it was more of a joke to Val and all the other EVo owners that just LOVE me


but yeah they have had Tcase and clutch issues so before you call anyone a dumbass do some research. some EVo owners have just been lucky.. i guess its just that nothing breaks on the STi like it does on an EVO

[eViLMunkey]

nothing breaks on the STi Bwahahahahahah!!!! :lmfao: :lmfao: and note my screenname I still favor the Scoobs.... and no it's a 2.5RS w/ a EJ20 swap... w/ cage, seats, and some other things.... it's up in WI but I'm not going for that one exactly I just miss AWD and driving off the road on occasion:
