Evos and a GSX

[Legionofone]

ok whats the differnece in a evo and a GSX i know its got like 60+ more HP... but the same engine the only thing different is the compression ratio and the RPMs were the car makes the most torque and HP

Compression: Eclipse 8.5:1 Evo 8.8:1
Horsepower: Eclipse 210 @ 6000 RPM Evo 271 @ 6500 RPM
Torque (lb-ft): Eclipse 214 @ 3000 RPM Evo 273 @ 3500 RPM

The engine of the evo has the cams facing the passanger side. Eclipse body= smooth and sleek. Evo body= boxed and riced out. haha thats all i know.

tdo5h 16g

scott ur saying its got a different turbo?

[viet_boiiiii]

It has a 16g turbo which is bigger.

The Evo uses the same basic design as our 2g 7bolt. As someone else posted they have the 16g Turbo, and they also run at a higher lbs of boost then our cars do.

Any DSM can be made to make the same power as the EVO. Fundamentally the motors are the same.

[joemathews]

Cams are reversed (intake cam and exhaust cam are swapped when compared to our cars), but that doesn't account for the power difference. Like Scottsee said, Evo8s have a 16g turbo. Put an EvoIII 16g on your car and tune it well, and you will be putting out horsepower comparable to or above what the Evo8 produces.

i'd just add to this that you also need the proper supporting mods for a 16g.

cool... now my bigger question... could u fabricate a 2g body over a evo 8 with little problem? or are the frames REALY different

[kjewer1]

Evo is based on the lancer platform. Quite different. I don't know why you have a boner for the EVO8, put the same parts on the 2g and you have the same power. No need to reinvent the wheel. As far as I know the fastest EVO is in the 9s, and the fastest awd DSM is in the 8s. They both have the same potential, since they have the same motor.

i have a boner for GSXs i would just like a BRAND NEW 2g eventualy... i was thinking get a evo powertrain and frame and fabricate the 2g body over it... i know it would cost alot but would be cool to have a nearly brand new GSX...

or you could just replace all the parts.....honestly it really wouldnt make much sense, i dont even think the wheel base is the same....

Actually i believe there are 5 different models of the EVO8 .. 400hp, 340hp, 320hp, 300hp, and 260hp model. With the turbos being of different sizes.
