My Evo 7

[Ruxis]

The gtt is long gone and I couldn't be happier with my evo, have done a bit of work to it since getting it and have raced it at wakie, thought id show it off on here.

hope you all enjoy!

Hey nice evo. I know it's been covered before but what are key differences stock vs stock. Which is faster? What has more mid range power ? What's fuel consumption like?

I hear that evos are a little bit more expensive to sservice and mod. Is this true.

Do you miss the smoothness of the straight 6 power delivery or do you like the angry Explosive nature of the evo?

Are my questions accurate or am I largely mislead ??

[Ruxis]

ahh stock for stock im not sure as I bought this with exhaust and boost controller, which I put in my gtt.

also now with a high flow panel filter and a tune the evo is so much faster!

with the mods on the gtt I had around 170-180 rwkw, with the evo I have 200awkw, and you can bloody feel it! my friend has a gtr with 240awkw and he has me in the top end as my car only revs to 7 where his revs to 9 so I need cam shafts to keep up in the top end haha.

the evo is more responsive down low and comes on in the mid range so much harder, but plateus in the top end as the gtt did too.

fuel consumption is better then the skyline, best I got in the skyline on all fwy was 600kms for 60 ltrs, best in the evo is like 500? with a 40 ltr tank. around town they both get around 300kms to a tank so evo dominates that too.

servicing is the same as any other turbo car, only difference is it has 2 diffs, I changed the oil and it cost 50 bucks more hah.

modding is soooooooo much cheaper.... so I have zaust, panel filter, boost controller bit bigger fuel pump and tune. 200awkw. next stage is, cam shaft, springs and retainers to hold them down (1k all together) an evo 9 turbo (around 600 bucks second hand in perfect condition) and a retune on the stock computer which costs 350 bucks. those few things will get me 270kw im told off my tuner. if I got a bigger turbo for 1500 itd make 300kw and if I got injectors and a bigger fuel pump itd go around 350awkw, which would be way to much haha. 270 sounds good to me.

I love the way the evo feels, aggressive is good but I do need to leave Newcastle to have any sort of fun as the highest speed limit around here is 60 so theres no point even trying to have fun hah. luckily theres some fun roads not to far away from me

any more questions let me know

I had a 33gtr and then sold it for the evo then went back to a 33 gtr.

I just prefer the GTR, dont get me wrong loved the Evo and would consider buying one again.

SAU EVO Meet?

The plan on 21/7/13 is; that regardless of where an EVO driver starts from whether it be Newy, Cabra, Thornleight or McGraths Hill...

1) Be friendly to Skyline drivers

2) Be a mole and source out which car the videographer is in

3) Go back to the EVO and park next to said car

4) When convoy starts, EVO driver watches the said car engage 1st gear (or reverse)

5) EVO driver plants and maintains his position in front of the vid car all the way up and down the Putty

Lol
