Aerosmith 2nd Gear October 17, 2012 Share October 17, 2012 evo ix gt evo ix gsr evo x sst i am in a big dilemma over which to get. i was driving a stock legacy gt 2.0, but sold it hoping to get an upgrade. basically what i want is to modify them to maybe hit 4 seconds and below for 0-100. I know it is impossible for the legacy gt, even the 2.5 to hit 4 seconds without spending a fortune. i am told that the evo ix gt should be the cheapest to modify to hit below 4s. the sst is nice cause it is auto but was told require more money to first modify the transmission and also because it is heavier, it needs more $$$ to get equal performance. anyone knows how much $$$ would it take to make these cars run below 4s? basically, the mods cannot just improve bhp, it must also support the increase power. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macrotrust Neutral Newbie October 17, 2012 Share October 17, 2012 impossible to beat below 4 sec, need to install screw supercharged and configure with the existing turbo charger. can customise and import the part from Japan if u r buying evo. not worth the money. maybe u can try to import the car from japan with the japanese workshop doing the tunning there.

Aerosmith 2nd Gear October 17, 2012 Author Share October 17, 2012 i thought it is possible by switching the turbo? i already saw some evo IX in sgcarmart with >500hp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typoerror Neutral Newbie October 17, 2012 Share October 17, 2012 I am driving a e9 gt. a few tens of thousand is probably required to bring 0-100 sprint time down to 4sec, yet maintaining reliability - engine wont piang the next day. But not sure what's your point of achieving such power. Cos high power comes with high lag, even if u stroke it up to 2.3L. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mllcg 3rd Gear October 17, 2012 Share October 17, 2012 i also having that same problem. Evo IX more expensive than EVO X based on annual depreciation. shouldnt newer=more ex? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mllcg 3rd Gear October 17, 2012 Share October 17, 2012 huh? but i check the sgcarmart, the evo x sst is more expensive than the evo 9 but still cheaper than evo IX MR GSR.. dont see selling price. see depreciation.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skutah Neutral Newbie October 17, 2012 Share October 17, 2012 Get the 9 for raw power if 2nd car or still single. Get the X if married for comfort and make wifey happy. Juz my 0.0001 cent. hehe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosmith 2nd Gear October 17, 2012 Author Share October 17, 2012 but still cheaper than evo IX MR GSR.. dont see selling price. see depreciation.. i don't know how come you calculate wrongly. my calculation is using units of days and i ignore body value/scrap value. the cheapest evo x gsr sst i computed using excel is $13k depreciation up to >15k. there is only one evo 9 mr gsr in market now and its depreciation is $12k which is lower than the cheapest evo x gsr sst. for evo 9 gt and gsr, all of them is in the range $10k to 13k. oh btw, i just found out that about 380 bhp is required at the flywheel to make the evo x go under 4s. is this possible without changing turbos?

Boost up (depends whether the turbo will run out of puff or not), remap, intake, exhaust as usual. But 380bhp on the fly seems quite possible to achieve.

Holdenutessv Turbocharged October 17, 2012 Share October 17, 2012 (edited) GT/RS is a 5spd, able to hold more power than the "thinner" 6spd. (That is if you're planning to do more than 600+++bhp). But between the GT and the GSR, there's some trim differences other than the tranny, suspension setup. Not sure about the X. My friend has a X SST, had a HKS GT3240, remap, exhaust, intake, blitz intercooler...running ~340whp on the dyno. Then he got bored and sold it for a Type R.
