GT35r evo 8 vs GT28 GTI

[bigdnno98]

The car already has HKS 272 cams with supertec dual springs and titanium retainers. The head is capable of revving to 10k. The stock rods are not. Right now I rev to 8200. Once i put long rods in the car I'll be able to rev to 10K.

if you build the motor and are getting those cams you should swap springs and retainers too! I've read of a few guys w/ built block, cams springs and retainers that rev to 8500 on e85, that would be a monster.

^Thats MONEY. Cant wait to see it all set up with some dynos/60-130/1/4mile times.Wow now I want one, miss my AWD Sti days

[bigdnno98]

yeah i'm going to write a review soon about the switch from my 335i to the Evo. Let's just say this car is super fun to drive and there are SO many parts for it.

Im jealous! Revving to 10k RPMs is just crazy. Im in for videos/dynos

[bigdnno98]

10k revving is still a little ways off. need to decide on 2.0, 2.3 or 2.4 and need to order pistons and rods first. for now have to settle for 8200 RPM

Ah, i see. I have a question: As far as the aftermarket goes, how much cheaper are parts for your Evo? Since its an older + more popular platform, i assume that the aftermarket parts and kits are cheaper?

[bigdnno98]

There's so many used parts out there. You can pick up a 700hp twin scroll complete turbo kit for less than $3k. I can buy a built shortblock good to 650hp for $2300. I'd say its way cheaper lol

[bigdnno98]

Oh, that shortblock is new too for $2300

This is an interesting matchup between two cars with similar sized and turbocharged four cylinder motors. The main difference here being that the GTI has front wheel drive and the Evo 8 is an all wheel drive vehicle. The front wheel drive layout of the GTI actually helps it in this race despite its smaller turbo due to lower drivetrain losses as it is able to pull the Mitsubishi Evo in a couple of the videos although it is very close between the two.

The GTI is an APR shop car said to be Stage 4 which likely includes built motor and heads. The Evo 8 has a GT35r turbo at 21 psi. Both cars are on pump gas. The Evo is said to have 427 horsepower and the GTI is around 385 horsepower. Videos are below.

That is actually a turbo made to bolt right to the stock Evo exhaust mani. My next turbo will be a DBB GTX3582r but I have an RNR tubular GT35r mani already so mine will just be an .82/t3 normal Garrett turbo. It'll be a lot cheaper than that one. I'm still selling that HTA3586r. Know anyone that wants it?

Create a new thread for it, put all runs in 1 vid.

[bigdnno98]

Ok. I can do that

[ChuckD05]

Crazy how fast you're moving lol.

Good luck with the build!! You gotta go sc m3 hunting soon. 600 whp with that rear should be enough to run with any blown m3s id imagine. And slaughter in 1/4 et wise.

theres a hpf stage 3 e46 here but he doesn't race it. The fastest car around is my buddy's e85 GTR but he just sold it. He'll ce back with something as fast or faster. I'm hoping high 10s on stock motor and 10flat on built motor.

Actually yes. Parks it and everyone looks at it. I tried to get him to race my 335i more than once

agreed ... you actually should be into the 9s on the built motor... no reason why not with the right tire all around (r888's even) and your supporting mods and turbo that you say you are going to get... even with 450ish you should be flirting with 10s with a 1.5 60ft or so

ugh...It may be the APR shop car but it's still an FSI running a gt28r so this is going to be hilariously brutal.. I honestly can't wait to see it.
