You guys left out constant judgement and trash talking about who's better than who!

This is my new favorite thread. Oh, the evoX talk is cool too

Dave, what will you have planned for long-term maintenance on the engine, trans, etc then? The kind of numbers you are talking about are going to be murderous on bearings, gears, and axles.

Auto-X = stand there and watch other people drive for 6 hours, drive for 8 minutes, stand there for 6 more hours, drive for 8 minutes. Go home sunburned.

I've never been to a 12 hr auto-x, where do I sign up?

5-6 solid hours of awesome driving?
LMAO, you need to tell all those guys that are doing road racing they are doing it wrong for all those HPDE days then, fuck a couple hundred bucks just $10 and a mitsustyle cruise!

Gee idk, every single auto x that's not a test and tune?

If you would just come on a cruise you would see why they are the funnest events of the year. Instead of just talking some crazy shit that doesn't make any sense.

Sub 4k spool to 25psi on a 2.2L with a 6266? Geebus those motors must have been made with gypsy tears, I think my 3.0L would barely do that.

I will be happy with anything as good as my EF4 honestly, and I think that is possibly.

This guys t4 TS 6466 on a 2.0L has similar spool to my EF4

So I have to imagine all the factors I listed will get me to 4k spool at least.

**Halon** · 03-14-2013

Yeah looks like 25psi around 4150rpm or so. Should be a pretty sick power band.

I'm also an advocate for Divided T4 setups, so thumbs up from me on going that route. You could try one of those QSV's for even quicker spool!

He'll blow another engine, claim Mitsu is shit b/c it can only handle 4x the factory output, talk about buying a Vette....then come back with a new engine and 900whp

At least the man is consistent. That has to count for something.

I've talked to several people about tearing into my engine around 20k miles to check on bearings. I think I will drop the oil pan at the end of this season for a bearing check, if they look like shit I will asses further. I'd like to pull the motor myself this next time around if I need to, so we will see how that goes too.

Gears/axles/drivetrain etc will all be fix it when it breaks in my book. I haven't seen enough data showing anything worth upgrading before hand is worth it. The X trans and drivetrain seem awesome. But when stuff breaks I will probably send mine off to Jack's. I'll also probably put a mechanical diff in the rear if that goes too.

That's what I am talking about, gotta be worth a lil bit right?

**Kracka** · 03-14-2013

Honesty and consistency are worth plenty!

The real reason he won't go is that cruises are fun and Brown only likes to be cranky! At an AutoX he can stand around and bitch with other guys about the guys leading the pack being cheaters, etc so he will be in heaven!

Damn you! Now my secret is out.

JET I didn't realize you were that much of a drinker.

He can't stand the thought of other people having fun or enjoying something so he do what Brown do best

**Halon** · 03-15-2013

Brown's been on cruises before, might have been before you joined.

**Murlo26** · 03-17-2013

Well, had to drive through some snow Saturday in the evo to make it to MAP, but I made it It was sideways a few times as the summer tires were like ice skates but it made it with flying colors, just got really dirty! And for some reason, as usual I couldn't drive the car without some Pontiac Gran prix trying to race me. So hard to just ignore dumb asses that keep speeding up and slowing down and shit when I can't get into the throttle at all with no tune on the car haha. I don't know what it is about pontiac drivers, but they always try to race me, even the grocery getters.

The car ran pretty good considering jon spent like 30 mins on dialing the injectors in, it cruised pretty good, transitional stuff was a bit icky, big lean to rich swings etc but I made it ok.

MAP plans to build a top mount it sounds like just because the bottom mount probably won't fit, so top mount time baby.

I am still planning to go with the 6266 JB one in an .84 trim unless I sell my gun soon, then I might go 6466 for funsy. MAP is planning to build 3-5 kits off the bat and will be doing a sort of group buy I think. I have zero details on pricing but if you are interested please PM me and I will set up the group buy! They do have an MR in shop too so they will make sure it fits the MR too is the plan.

But for now, T4 game on!

edit:

I am also planning on doing a surge tank soon and moving my wally 400 into the surge tank and having either a stock pump or dw65 feed the surge tank. THen I will throw a BAP on the 400 and I that that will be good for A LOT, like I am hoping 750-800whp.

**CornFed2.4** · 03-17-2013

I thought the price of the 6266 and 6466 was the same? I thought the price difference was JB to BB. Maybe not?

Car looks awesome and the top mount should be awesome to.

**Murlo26** · 03-17-2013

They are the same, but I am doing a JB not BB for now. The 6466 only comes in BB.

I am looking forward to the new setup, should be fun and I think its about time I got into a "Proper" kit for my power level.

**CornFed2.4** · 03-17-2013

That makes sense. Good work either way and I'm sure it will be sweet when your finished.

**Kracka** · 03-18-2013

If you need a stock pump w/housing let me know; mine has just been sitting in my garage for about two years

93gtpeater · 03-18-2013

Go 6466. Go big or go home. This car better make it out one summer night for some highway rolls.
