saff - is your evo laggy as well? or is that just for the FQ models? I thought the newer turbo models are less laggy in general.

The 400 has a different turbo, am inclined to agree with Matt if he says the others are stock (not 100% sure myself). I have a friend with a 340 in the UK so will ask her when she comes online in a bit.

Mine isnt laggy at all and was something I noticed with the WRX of Evan's that I drove, it feels heavier and a bit more laggy than my Evo.

Im really up in the air about what Evo I want to get. I am keeping my cefiro as well.

I like the Look and the rawness of the Evo 6.5. But I loathe the interior, cheap plastic shit.

Evo 8s are all round better but also carry a slightly higher price tag.

What I want to know from you guys is , Is the 8 THAT much better handling/Grip wise or does its extra weight over the 6 make the cars similar.

Never forget 5 years ago when I went in my First Evo, was a white Tommi Mak 6.5 and its brutality was something outta this world!!

A blue EVO 9, with Bride Low Max seats, CE28s, aftermarket turbo with Yoko semis and empty 3am streets of Singapore. This car will hold a special place in my heart and i ever so badly wanted to get one.Almost enough to continue working in Singas so i could afford one... :laugh:

They do need more grunt...but a HKS GT-RS would get it going nicely :rofl:

Hmmm. Maybe i wont be so depressed when my car is the one colour :P

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
