WaspGT Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 I cant take it... yes i work at Dover Auto World now, before this i worked for Stratham Mitsubishi for the little Arab version of Danny Davito. The stock EVO is effing PATHETIC!!!! I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED WHEN I DROVE IT I NEARLY TOOK A SHIT ON THE RECARO'S. As amazing as it looks on the interior, the outside is boring, and the take off is sluggish, not impressive AT ALL. The engine has less than 300HP. The Auto version, the Twin clutch SST, is def a little quicker, but still not as fast as my car... or any of yours... unless you drive stock and have no place behind the wheel. I raced a stock X and won... yes. If this is hard to swallow than youve obviously never driven one. On the other hand a built, flame spewing, blacked out Evo X, smoked my crotch rocket last summer coming off the traffic circle on Lafayette Rd. So again... do they have more potential, maybe... but stock is SLOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Catalyst. Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I think the Cobb AP dyno has truly impacted your understanding (placebo effect?) of what power feels like. I almost bought an EVO 9 that had cams done and the power it produced throughout the RPM range was quite a bit more than my stage 2 tuned (not OTS) LGT. Mashing the gas anywhere over 2500 RPM was instant torque and it's curb weight is much more desirable than our sedan. I just couldn't accept the boy racer feel and cheapness of the interior (although the X is better in that department). Do you sport a flat brimmed cap when your killing evo's with your beast of a LGT? My spec.B [#163] Project Thread with Pictures Get CryoTuned!

Do you sport a flat brimmed cap when your killing evo's with your beast of a LGT? You said it right there, an EVO with cams. Thats a major internal mod for Christ sake, which in turn would have to be remapped to accept it via ECU tuning. I hate repeating myself... i worked next to these cars everyday, hence have driven them countless times. They arent impressive out of the box. Stop pretending to be so knowledgable, internet tough guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWSPECB Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Catalyst is far more knowledgeable than you are. I can make that statement with 100% certainty based off the shit you've spewed in this thread so far. Welcome back turbodog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaspGT Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 Maybe about the EJ, sure, afterall this is my first one but, not my first build. i have better things to do than to lie on a forum to a bunch strangers via fabricated war stories. If i said i did something, it happened. Wtf is a turbodog? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWSPECB Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Not just the EJ. Turbodog is your nickname. For specific reasons that I do not feel like taking the time to explain to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaspGT Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 Heres a question for all of you EJ257 Veterans, i found a bolt on BOV for my car. Does it throw a CEL like Audi does or will the LGT accept it? I believe it has the option for recirc as well... which is ideally what id prefer.

I Donated thefultonhow Posted February 8, 2013 I Donated Share Posted February 8, 2013 Haven't read the entire thread, but I can tell you right now (from first-hand experience) that a Stage 2 LGT is much, much slower than an LGT with similar mods but an Evo X 16G on it.

NWSPECB Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Wasp, what PSI do you run your tires at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaspGT Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 I agree and would be foolish if I thought otherwise about the EVO. If its tuned its faster, stock, they really aren't that quick. I've never driven an 8, but have heard they're faster. I raced a stock X and won. That's all I said and get called a liar and prodded at, it's great. I'm new to the 2.5T, so I got my motor confused with the STI. I don't think I've built a super car, it's pretty close to stock. I'm just impressed at how powerful it feels as is. I've built fast cars, this one has potential. So people can hate on me if they want, I didn't think there were any judges here. But I really do appreciate advice as tips from people who know this vehicle, as I am still learning. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaspGT Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 it's an EJ255. and don't get a BOV, there's a reason the oem is a BPV. The fact that your HID's are 6000000k and you have a BOV leads me to believe you are too fast and too furious. I know what im feeling, this isnt my first rodeo. My HID's are 10k, asshat. I prefer a recirc over atmospheric purge any day, but am considering an upgrade because im upgrading the turbo. Tell me something how many cars have you actually built... real ones, not on your Playstation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaspGT Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 .... I cant believe how many posts are on this thread and how far off topic its gotten. This is just way to much fun. Have at it, who's next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
