Evo DOHC turbo OR Stock turbo?

[underated]

the turbo is defiantly going to get you more power you should not turbo a stock motor with 12:1 compression so unless you plan on building the motor with forged rods and 63/64 spec pistons if you use the evo head your going to need to stay N/A

as far as top numbers hp/tq wise a fully build turbo motor > fully built N/A motor

depends lol all engines needs a 5-speed and a dohc and a turbo, put its all in the info if you get that your screwed over on this and you get the otehr thing you cant get that, its all bs and confusing as heeeellllll!!!! :)

Is the G your working on going to be your daily driver?

[ruben71]

yes for now, I also have another car I could use. But this is what I'm thinking.......... Still keep my bottom end, changed it to a 5spd, do the evo8 setup w/16g turbo(of course) Get forged piston(weisco), rods, and all that needs to work with and evo8 setup. What do u all think? Sounds good or am I missing something here??? Any more I deas?? Optima.sonata is good too but I wanted to see how it would work out with the evo setup. :P

[ruben71]

Thanks everybody for helping, :D Any more ideas?

[ruben71]

so I might end up doing the evo8 head with the evo 9 turbo setup, sound good? or the evo 8 head and the evo 8 turbo setup?

[Qs]

well the evo 9 turbo is bigger than the evo 8 turbo
so since its bigger i guess it has a better compression so in the end it gives out more boost

but since ive searching i did not once come upon a evo 9 engine , even less a evo 9 turbo setup

[ruben71]

ok, so I guess I'm sticking with the bottom end and use the evo 8 setup. Now would I pass smog with all this mods?? I live in CA, the worst place u can be for smogging a car. Or any suggestions?

Use the Optima/Sonata head if you're determined to boost your motor and keep the bottom end stock with the DOHC.

I've done my research since I'm doing this same set-up when I finish school. Only difference is Im using the EVO head cuz Im actually building the motor to the right 64/63T specifications. And Im running a 35R and water/meth injection :twisted:

Personally Im camming and boosting the stock SOHC and see how much power I can push out of this motor without blowing it up. Thats due to Im a student on a budget and have a heavy foot. Plus, if everything goes as planned, I can swap the boosted SOHC into my daily (If I get another G for a daily) while I swap the monster set-up in my 2000.

5-speed would be a good choice also. I mean you could run a HSTC but theres no launch like a manual can. And you can also push the motor to the end of the powerband than shifting to early with an auto.
