[2.3 Evo 8]

If your looking for an Evo 8 with 500whp, you should buy mine. It makes that power on pump gas.

Then I can start my next project.

i can get others...

5 speed on a 9 suck though. Redline 4th at 107mph and 5th takes you all the way to 155 and that takes a while.

On a IX RS gears 1-4 are the same as the MR, but the MR has 5th and 6th where as the RS only has 5th so top end sucks

when will i be wanting to go past 155?

dude dont give others advice when you have no idea what your talking about. Mitsu didnt change anything on the 9 trannys except the input shaft so the tranny dont break when a dumbass tows the car on two wheels. And no the 9 rs does not have the same 1-4 as the mr.

if ur gonna stay stock turbo and are looking for like 350-375whp get 9, if u want more ur gonna have to upgrade turbo and do cams so just go ahead and get an 8 cause really the only differance is a slightly bigger exhaust side on the turbo and the cams in the 9, but if ur gonna be replacing the cams and turbo why pay more for a 9 when u can get a 8 and use the money u saved to make power.

Wrong. The hotside of a 05 evo 8 is the same hotside as the 06 evo 9. The difference is the compressor housing. Also the 9 has mivec. Also the mr's and rs's have lsd.

Hey dave dont take some of the advice that was givin here, some people really dont know what theyre talking about. If you wanna know all the pros and cons and stuff like that on the evo 8's 9's just hit me up sometimes, trust me i already did my research.

Actually, you are wrong. I have done my research and know what I am talking about. Mitsu did change the gear ratios and although I was wrong when I said it was the exact same gearing it is similiar

And you shall if I don't get a package in the mail with the center caps that I paid for.

[2jz240sx]

lmao
you and them damn center caps...
i sent them to the address you gave me!

Evo 8 and Evo 9 trannies do have different ratio's... most specifically the 1st on an IX is stronger and VERY slightly longer (not enough to really care)... and the 4th on an VIII is a bit taller. The 5th on the IX's have a different input shaft and several later production VIII's have variants of the 5th input shaft. There's a lot more to than too when it comes to just trannies... I know all this from talking to Jon Ripple for half an hour. That guy's a genius.

Evo VII is a retarded idea. We live in the USA... but then again, you have pockets deep enough to make the Grand Canyon jealous.

Buy my Evo and run the car on WG pressure, 87 oct, and pull out all the timing... you might make the 450whp goal you want then... otherwise, I'd get an Evo IX SE... they look the nicest stock and you can fart on an IX and make 400whp.

[2jz240sx]

lol...buy yours for 40k?
or buy an 8 for 22-25k or a 9 for 30k?
hmm....
i just want a reliable quick car, and i like the look...it will be stock for a long while once i get it more than likely...but i still dont know...i am still debating...
cause i have a couple cars i want...


titan(but is a truck and bad gas mileage)
evo(bad gas mileage)
g35(relaible, decent gas mileage, and sexxxy!)
skyline stock r33(gas mileage eh not soo good, hard to find parts)

Actually, an evo 7 is not a retarded idea, if you can deal with the emissions. They're not that expensive, and you could probably get one for about the same price that USDM versions are going for, at least the newer ones. I am no evo expert, by all means, but I know that the 7 is a bad mf. Even the seat bolsters are narrower for tiny japanese asses
