Evo VIII vs. S13 Hatch

[Steiner]

The guy was pacing me on a two lane expressway, blowing off every few seconds, trying to get me to bite. He had all the goodies. Car looked clean. It was a deep red color with black aftermarket rims, chrome lips, a big fricken FMIC and JDM style titanium side exit exhaust. I'd wager that significant funds had been spent on that car. With wifey in the car, 100lbs of office equipment in the trunk and the AC pumping I initially fought the urge to bite. The sumbish wouldn't give up though and when we pulled next to each other at a stop light and he started revving that blown SR20, I felt like an alcoholic at an open bar wedding. I was completely in my element but totally out of sorts.

I hear this little voice say "don't fucking do it Brian". My conscience? Nope. It was my wife. The light turns green and I half expected him to just take off like a bat out of hell. No such luck. He starts off slow...again...pacing me...again...it was humiliating. My wife yells at me "just make him go away". OK. At about 15mph in 2nd gear I had just about enough. I was only doing about 2.8k RPM's but I floored it. Even though I was off the boost I had the jump but, for sure as shit, I know he was in the right gear judging by his engine noise and tranny whine. At about 80mph I let off with a good 4 or 5 car lengths and still pulling. See the thing is kiddies, even though I had all that crap in the car, the AC on, and the office equipment in the trunk I'm now running on aftermarket cams, cam gears and a boost controller...untuned.

Friday afternoon I go in for another flash and dynotune.

Wow, didn't even see that at first glance, that can't be good for hte tires

Nice kill man. Keep them coming, seems like you are one of hte few who can find races recently.

Cams...HKS 272s? EVO FTW!!!

Nice kill, sounds like the SR20 had a bit of power, but was mostly talk. I remeber when I went to HIN last year, every single 240 there had an SR20 swap, but they all ran high-mid 13s, they all said they wanted the SR20 cuz it was JDM.

Good kill. I doubt he'd make a good match for you with the new mods. Your car should be running 12's easy. I love how Evo's sound with the cam.

Nice kill on the stalker!

A Red SRT4 stalked me yesterday

[GForce957]

What kind of numbers are you expecting with the tune?

Good kill

[KamilMk]

Great story, nice kill. What was your wife's reaction after you blew his doors off? Lol...

[Mad_Maxima]

Man sounds like your car is gonna be pretty deadly on the streets, good kill despite not having it all full power.

post dyno vids if you have a chance

[TorchedStealth]

Nice kill. My friend is building up a s-13, its been under the knife for about 5-6 months now. Whenever anyone asks him what engine he put in it he just laughs and says "it doesnt have an engine" and walks away. Maybe it will be decently fast like the one you raced but i guess ill have to wait a few weeks to find out.

[Steiner]

Thanks guys. It's fast but there are plenty of faster cars out there. The cams are HKS brand 264/in & 272/ex. I'm expecting between 280-290whp on the stingy Gruppe-S Mustang dyno with HOPEFULLY 300wtq. Figure that's about 330whp/350wtq on a Dynojet dyno.

After the race my wife is like, "that made my stomach feel wierd, like a roller coaster...you don't do that kind of stuff a lot, do you?"

[209 SRT]

I think sr20s are over hyped.....boosted KAs do just as well if done right...

[Sleepr awd]

boosted KA ftw
