Lots of turbo lag but really quick none the less. As for the sound, the Evo sounds good but the camaro sounds better.

how fast is it on twisty roads? How long will that engine last?

anyways that thing is too fast

Who cares, honestly? :lol: Clearly it's been built to make minced meat of just about everything he'd encounter on the highway. That thing is pretty fast, and with the stock wheels and all, makes for a nice sleeper. Looks like a stock EVO, but packs 600whp... just how I like them. :)

Big ups for making a night vid where you can actually see something, too. 👍

Well, its an Evo, so its plenty quick around the twistys. Just because it has a ton of power doesn't mean it handles bad. Sure, with that big GT35, it will have a tad more lag. But really, its still a damn Evo. They handle just fine.

And, as far as the engine goes, don't worry about that. The 2.3 kit that AMS uses, thats in that car, is a stout bit of kit. New crank, Eagle rods, Ross slugs, ARP studs....the works. It will last. My car is making basically the same power, with some of the same pieces (crank, Eagle rods, ARP bits), and its been in this state of tune for close to 8k miles, without as much as a hiccup. Build and tune it right once, and never need to later.

And, as for the lag on that turbo. The GT35 is one of the "holy grail" turbos for the 4G63 engine. That turbo and the HKS 3037S are amazing with the power they deliver at relatively low rpms. Obviously, with a big turbo, no matter what the bearings or trim, you will have some lag. But, those turbos are the perfect balance of power and spool. Work of art if you ask me. I would love to have one, if they werent' so much $$$$.

I seen this video on the SRT forums. Apparently the people that built that EVO, are planning on putting the same turbo in an SRT-4. :drool: 👍

Yeah I thought the Camaro sounded nice until the Evo passed it BRAAAAAAM! f'n crazy.

Does the evo have a dump tube? So loud!
 
Roll on races aren't really my thing :indiff:

My boss had an Evo 7 and he opted for a 3540 I beleive.. He made 542hp @ the flywheel on I think it was 24psi. I think his aim was to keep some sort of decent gas milage/sanity but still managed an 11.4 @ xxxmph..

I have no doubt in my mind he could've gone for more but I think he's just a bit conservative :sly:

i have to say that the freaking evo is fast...... the evo running at 35 psi...... a stock evo runs at 19.5 psi..... thats a big upgrade.... and i must also say that you know a lot about turbos... nice post bro 👍
 
All I see is black screen + engine/exhaust noises/blowoff valves/clutch noises....

is it supposed to be like that?
 
lets save some newbish questions and answer this

35psi, is that the equivalent to where you move the little bar on how much nitrous you want in GT4 or am i just being dumb?
 
What the hell a 2.3L Stroker kit? Wow that alone made me laugh, I've never heard of a 140 Stroked motor before, maybe a 383. But I'm not going to lie, that thing was fast even though it sounded terriable. Why can't import exhaust sound decent?

Well, it did start as a 2.0, so it did get 15% bigger. Thats more of an increase than going from 350 to 383 :) Thats about as big as you can take the 4G63. Some people have done 2.4s, but not many. It might sound silly, but it serves the same purpose it does in those big V8s. More engine means more power to spin big turbos. And that car does have a big turbo.

The 35psi that they talk about is the ammount of boost pressure the turbo is making. When the air comes in the intake, and then into the turbo, it gets compressed. That compressed air then makes its way to the engine where its mixed with more fuel. That makes the big power. The more air you can get to the engine, the more fuel you can mix with it to make power. By compressing it with a turbo, you get a more dense air charge.

Oh I can see why he did, bigger displacement is always better. I just found it amusing. Not to mention I've never ever heard of a stroked 4 cyclinder before.

People weld steel blocks to the top of their Honda motors to stroke them. Or they cram the bigger cranks (like from the CRV) into the smaller blocks. All the standard hot-rod tricks apply.
 
I don't doubt any of that, but it's just amusing to me. I know all the same tricks apply, its just slightly different.
 
Dude...They have TONS of Stroker kits for B16's B18's B20's...4g63's stroker kits have been availible for a while, but people have been putting 4g64 cranks into 4g63's for the displacement....Strokin small 4 cyl's is a pretty popular thing to do. It's just part availibility that's the problem.
 
Driftster
.....but people have been putting 4g64 cranks into 4g63's for the displacement....
Well, its not quite that easy. The 4G64 conversion is usually the entire bottom end of the 64 engine, combined with the head and upper end pieces from the 63 engine. The only problem is that to really make it work, you have to build the engine to handle the boost. So, you're better off just building up a standard 4G63 engine instead of trying to frankenstein a 63/64 combo.

I know, but for the sake of a shorter post I didn't want to go into the 3 page description of the process that went into it.
And are you sure you'd be better off doing that? Because I'm assuming if you want to build a frankenstein you'd have the MAIN parts readily availible...Then depending on your mechanic know how it would probably be ALOT cheaper and alot more potant than the 3,000 dollar stroker kit.

.....And are you sure you'd be better off doing that?.....it would probably be ALOT cheaper and alot more potant than the 3,000 dollar stroker kit.
Well, no one said you have to spend $3k on a stroker. The stock crank is very strong, and can handle just about any big boost street application. And, new pistons and rods are all you need at that point. You can spend $1500 on nice pieces there, and have PLENTY of engine. All I'm saying is, there is enough little things that aren't direct drag-and-drop with the 4G64 that make building the stock 4G63 a much easier proposition. In the end, you get a very similar result.

I was looking into increasing the displacement of my Skyline as Im rebuilding it, by using a RB30 bottom end. After research I realised its more bother to adapt the 3.0L bottom end to my RB25DET (2.5L) head than I think its worth, so I am just going to rebuild the RB25.
