This Evo is the tits...supercharged!

[THE_ONE]

RWD-1.2 sec 60fts= track only
AWD-1.5 sec 60fts= Where ever we want to drive it

Both runs in the 7's with full chasis

I see way too much power not being put to the ground.

yea, but no one around here marks shit off or runs from digs. it'd be a 40mph roll until 160 where the 1.2 60' track only car would have walked around it by then..

also, i knew this guy once, who broke a driveshaft on gandy bridge, because he hooked, that car did high 1.40's, low 1.50's at the track. it was rwd.

I will, whenever any of us awd guys are out we do! Your referring to Hondas,Supras and a majority of V8 guys!

Yup and thats when we walk away

No but seriously, on concrete I'm sure most cars would hook.... lets talk about CC....
Gandy is becoming a hostile territory

it looks slow, and it is only one tire fire, i think it is a good idea but would be better with an awd lsi turbo

...they lean forward stock...whats your point? your not going to sit there and tell me axles, turbo setup, diff, and all that jazz is outweighed by an all aluminum LS1.

it would be nice if they actually made it GO!

they are only 2 tires and a belt away from it.

As you can see the evo with the ls1 is leaning a lot towards the front and the gaping between the tire and fender in front is narrower then the rear. Its just my opinion. Not usable power.

prove to me that all aluminum LS1, and 100lb tranny is heavier than the turbo setup, the engine, front axles, transfer case, and tranny. and then you can show me where you see this leaning forward a lot...or even a little. that is a perfectly settled car, i included a picture for you to illustrate. if your cuz's front end was higher then the rear, he had alot of shit in back, like a system or something, or there was something broken/wrong.

its plenty usable power....what people are not taking into consideration is this car is probably a long awaited completion, they finally got it in and wired, became impatient and wanted to run it around a little bit without the blower belted up, which is understandable. there is no such thing as unusable power with a car, just uninformed owners.

ls1 weighs about 500lbs complete long block with manifolds, evo weighs between 350 to 400lbs long block with manifolds and turbo. Its just my opinion. I have no proof but just by looking at the ls1 and the evo, the ls1 is heavier. Lets get all the ls1 and evo techee's in here and lets debate. I am sure 100% this evo is not going to be a good runner. Let just follow up with the post and see what the ending result is. When no traction the power is not usable unless you get traction. Just my 1 cent.

maybe one day i will be rich...cause god knows i would spend a fortune giving people the truth...i'd have some bad ass cars sitting in my garage though


anyways...complete long block and all, with manifolds...the LS1 is only about 300lbs. sorry.

[ANT813]

Well that is your opinion as well. Have you weighed the engine yourself? Or have you only taken a guess at the weight? Or maybe you only heard thats how much it weighs. If you measured the weight yourself and have a definite number saying it weighs 300lbs, I bow down to you, if not you are still guessing just as I am. I can see your a big ls1 fan, as for me I'm neither ls1 or a evo fan. But do say they are good engines, depending on what body to swap it in. See the ls1 in a rx-7 is a good swap because the engine stays near the firewall and does not hang all over the front of the engine bay, thats why its a good swap, now thats useable power, and it does not throw the cars balance off that much although its heavier than the rotary motor.

I don't have any badass cars and I don't have a garage, that make me broker than you but I have done a lot of swaps, from toyota's, to nissan's, to honda's, for friends and family.

[ANT813]

Oh, yes if you could, could you do a follow up on this ls1 evo project and see what is going on, thanks.

the LS1 is not heavier than the TT 13b, its a bit heavier than the n/a setups. and yes, the LS1 is roughly 300lbs, how do i know? because it weighs ~420lbs with the 120lb automatic transmission on it. it's not that im an LS1 fan, its that i know what im talking about...and the engine goes wherever you want it to...thats the beauty if it being custom. the engine can be put wherever, and 50/50 weight distribution can still be achieved easily....ever consider they moved it forward to compensate distribution for the extra weight lost on the conversion?
