sol740 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Evo8 Turboback, intake, MBC, Tein Springs, reflash. Cams awaiting install. Stock turbo and IC. Not doing anymore mods after cams and tune until I have another DD. Than I plan on going all out. We know how "plans" go though. No track times on this car yet.

Draco-REX Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Just a note, if you are only looking to drag race, I would recommend against an AWD car. At the upper end of power you're going to break a LOT of stuff. Even though I own an STI and respect the Evo, if I were interested in drag racing seriously, I'd get some RWD american iron.

2highpsi Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 The way I see it is this. The Evo is one of the best street & strip cars there are. There are a hand full of 9 second full interior streetable Evos out there. It's not the best strip only car, it's not the best street only car, but I believe it is the best at handling both.

Mike C Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 I own an EVO 8. It used to me my wife's daily driver until I recently got her something new. It is basically my mule car to test tuning ideas on and whatnot. It is quick for what it is but I have never drag raced it in its present form.

I am not into american cars ive been around the dsm/ evo crowd for years now and learned how to build and work /tune on my own stuff, i never had any issues with using an awd for the strip.

Crossle Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 I keep seeing an EVO 8 on Olentangy pulling into the apartments across from the 315 South henderson road off ramp. Black, no spoiler, Maryland plates, Super blue head lights with bright yellow fogs up in between the head lights almost on the grill. Looks lowered. Saw a girl driving it the first time with a yellow evo 8 following her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aesthetic_Influx Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 I'm impressed; I knew these were capable cars, but never had a chance to see a mod / power chart from real world applications. So the transmissions seem to have issues around what, ~500 HP at the crank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which sounds like heaven in your ears. Oh, and I'm calling you out this spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which sounds like heaven in your ears. Oh, and I'm calling you out this spring. Ha, awesome; my first official call out. I need to get a couple things taken care of and tuned before I do any serious throttle stomping. After that however... I'm always interested in other modified cars that I know nothing about. I never seem to have any car buddies who drive anything but the same cars I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverEvo8owner Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Honestly the transmission is the last thing that I would worry about in the drivetrain as they are extremely stout. There are plenty of cars out there with just freshened up gear sets (mainly for easier high rpm shifting) that run 9's. Where you run into trouble is the stock transfer case. Without a rebuild, wheel hop kills them pretty quickly. If you can avoid that then you are pretty golden. I rarely have heard of transmissions going before something else. Ironically, more people blow t-cases on stock sized turbos than with big turbo high hp cars. I think the 5 speed and 500 hp is just fine.
