Does any body know what parts are on the UK to make it so much more powerfull yet still very reliable. I was watching Top Gear and them brits were talking about their evos and i was just curious as to what parts make them that much more powerful.I would like to base me evo 9 after their mods because i have to drive mine to school and work everyday.

thanks for your help and merry Xmass

 

brits are always drunk and high on petrol!
jk lol.

 

They have certain models, fq 300 fq330 fq400, a few others i think aswell. Which all come with the related HP, they are opened up from the factory, with the normal mods here you would buy here. Like the 400 has a huge turbo, from what i watched on top gear anyway.

 

Better octane.

 

arent the US evo's detuned due to emission laws or something like that?

 

U.S. doesn’t want powerful imports to ruin their American made cars reputations so they will not allow any other import companies to produce such powerful cars and sell them in U.S. However, they can allow 1964 rustangs w/ 400 horses on the street because they are American made. When imports got that much power, it becomes street illegal and so called "dangerous" so in short f#@* american government because they are haters and that is why we don’t see any FQ EVOs in U.S.

 

who needs a fq when we have AMS?

 

Not true. See:

I agree 100%!!!

 

Yeah, that's why you can't buy 400+ HP BMWs, Mercs, Porsches, Ferraris, Lambos, etc. in the US.

Where do they come up this stuff?

 

Thank you.

 

The reason u can get those in U.S. is becuase those companies are willing to pay huge amount of $$ to the american government just by allowing their cars in U.S. Look at the companies that you are talking about....their 400HP+ cars will cost about $60,000 at least and they have a huge network of people supporting them. Now look at mitsu, do u think that mitsu will be able to spend that much of $$ by selling thier 400 HP+ evo uner for $40,000? And we dont even have that many people supporting the EVOs because most of them just think that it is a fixed up version of regular lancer. We are not gonna have any celebrities or business owners buying an evo so there goes the support from other people.

By the way, is any of these companies Japanese????

BMWs = no, Mercs = no, Porsches= no, Ferraris= no, Lambos = no

Now u can see that U.S. hates Japanese cars !!!

Point proven

 

thats basically it, the US has to many strict rules fo japanese imports. if these rules werent around we would have fq evos and skylines. just because we cant get them from the dealership high HP doesnt mean we cant do it ourselves

 

You're my new favorite voice of reason. Thank you for having a head on your shoulders.

 

Reason is we Have Stric Emissions laws. IT just so happens that most all japanese supercars require the use of large turbo in small displacment motors. that makes them run very dirty.
It's easy to make 400+ horses with 8 cylinders.

I remember looking at the EPA chart on the Evo and it was all the way over on the emmissions scale while my old vette was opposite side.
