BoostedSpyder · #1 05-03-2004, 10:06 PM

who is running an EVO 16g in here? and on what trim? and how do you like it? [feel free to elaborate

] and if any solid performance reviews that you know of are out there point me in the right direction

The EVO 16G doesnt have trim options. My buddy has one on a 92 GSX and he loves it. He hasnt be able to max it out he stil has the stock injectors but so far he is happy.

With the evo16g whats the max boost you can put on it with stock injectors, smic, fuel system....14-16?

Properly supported the EVO16g will run over 25 psi. A 14b will do 25 psi. A local club member was flowing 44 lbs/min on his EVO16g, which is nearly 20g territory. I dont have one, but I do not hesitate to endorse the turbo. And for 535-570 shipped, its a fantastic option for many people that dont want to go huge. Add a FMIC and better than average tuning/driving, and you have 11 secnd potential. Which is to be expected, sicne both the small and big 16g have done mid 11s. This turbo should do it with more finesse though, and less abuse.

thanks for the info! i was thinking it has been enough time to get some good feedback on this snail.

and was 44lbs/min with a MAFt or VPC setup?

Some of this may be true but it is not the best thing to do at all. I could run 30 lbs on a T25 but it doesnt mean I should do it. 25 lbs on a 14B is WAY out of its efficiency range and its just blowing super hot air. I think 22 is the max I would run on an EVO 16G and that would be with high octane and will defiatly need a frountmount to keep that heat under control. Plus running a turbo this hard will make its life shorter. If you want 20G flow numbers then why not get a 20G forcing a smaller turbo to do the work of a larger one is asking for trouble IMO.

I agree with Michael, its not how much you can run but what you can run efficiently. If yoiu have the proper intercooler setup you can run higher boost more efficiently. I have the evoIII16g on my 98 GST and it is very efficient with the Greddy 24 core intercooler, after running it at 21lbs i emedietaly stoped and felt the UICP and it was cold showing that i was running cool and efficient airflow. Im gonna turn up the boost a little more and see how it does, just got to watch for detonation.

Sounds a little pussy to me. 95 GSXracer wasn't born yesterday; he knows about efficiency and all that you discredit him for.

You tune for power, not efficiency. Nobody gets to 400whp by stopping at 22psi because they don't want to go to the next efficiency ring (compressor map). We have made the trade-off reliability for power, so I'm not about to go half-ass on a turbo that's capable of making more power. Not that 26psi on a 16g is unsafe/unreliable/unheard of.

I'm running the EvoIII 16g. Not too full capacity right now, as I"m still breaking it in. I ported it out, along with the wastegate area to help with boost creep and suck every ounce of boost out of the turbo I could. I plan to boost 26 psi. I am running 680 cc injectors and a 190 pump. plus I have 3" turbo back apex'i. so I think I can support it just fine. I'm lookin for damn near 400 hp and a mid-low 12 second pass. I think it's possible.

the evo on 13 psi is already fun as hell for me. I can't wait to take this bad boy to 26 psi. it'll be an orgasm on wheels!! WOOHOO!!

Really smelled more like common sense from here. Like I said in my first post just becasue you can doesnt mean you should. Would I run that at the track here and there on race gas??? Sure. On the street would I?? No. I never once doubted 95GSX or his car I just gave my opinion. I bet a reading comprehension class would cure that right up for you. Like I also said in my post I dont see the use in running a turbo that hard when you can step up to the next size ( say 20G) and do the same reliably. I dont think anyone on this board is going for records just nice reliable peroformance.

Where did I mention running high boost 24/7 on the street? 95 GSXracer said 'will run over 25psi'. When you say "I would only run 22psi MAX" it means at the track, on race gas, etc... to me. That said, I just commented that 22psi is low, like what a schoolgirl would run.

We'll take that class together, MIchael, because I never said to run 22+ on the street.

Not everyone is a baller. Who goes to the track and expects reliability? If someone wants a reliable car, like what my grandma drives, they won't be seen pushing their car to the limit on the track.
