Vishnu powered Evos at the Solo2 National championships

Street Touring Ultra Class – minimal engine mods, open suspension, 245 street tires.

Stage 0+ SMART system (no boost control), custom dyno tune. Mostly competed against STis and E36 M3s. I tipped some cones at the beginning of the course effectively knocking me out of contention. Had I been clean I could have won by about .5 sec over the 2 days, but that’s racing. Observers mentioned that the car was visibly quick accelerating from corner to corner. The SMART system cleaned up the bottom end and added more torque down low. Thanks to Shiv and crew and thanks to Paul Gerrard for expert suspension set-up advice. BTW, a couple of STi drivers, Jeff Vogel was one, will be calling about Xedes.


E Street Prepared – minor engine mods, open suspension, DOT slicks.

Stage 0+(no boost control), header & cat delete, custom dyno tune. Navid K. had issues with wet conditions the first day, but his car was the fastest in the dry on day 2. His car has pulled a 12.3 ET with this same config.


Street Modified – open engine mods, open suspension, DOT slicks.

Stage 1 ++ with upgraded turbo. Mark D.’s Evo has proven competitive against much more radically modified cars – he drove it halfway across the country to the event where even we trailered our street tired class car. I believe, in spite of a leg injury hindering shifting, his times could have won if not for some cone penalties. He did have the fastest day 2 time.

Excellent. I'm very interested in what your SMART map looked like for STU. What changes were made vs the baseline maps.

Hi donour,

I really don't know what changes were made. Shiv just did his magic on the dyno to get the peak numbers and SMART helped to optimize the rest.

Thanks Smoggy and David. Unfortunately my official position was down on the roster, but more importantly the raw times prove that the Xede + SMART really makes superior power. Thanks again to you guys for putting together the SoCal SMART dyno day.

I'm getting my suspension dialed in soon. Vishnu Suspension Guru Paul Gerrard is ready to give me the fine tuning details.



Got any more?

That's great smoggy, let me know you if want any feedback on your set up.

Any more pics? I got a CD of them! How do you upload them in your post?

Enkei RPF1s 17x9.5 38mm offset. They're very light for a cast wheel of this size at 16.4 lbs on a digital scale. You can get forged wheels that are 1- 2 lbs lighter, but they'll cost up to twice as much. I used a .75" spacer up front (light ones for $14ea.), none needed for the rear.

Where did you pick up these spacers? That wheel looks very good.

I'm definitely not anywhere near national level, but I think I did pretty well at my first outing with the local SCCA here in NM.

I picked up 1st in STU pretty handily and 18th overall in index. I definitely had another 5 seconds in me, but I botched the last run -- locking up my brakes coming up to the finish gate.

I'll have to look up the spacer site. Here's some detail pics of the wheels.

Here's the spacer site, low cost and light in .25",.5" and .75" .

Keep in mind the slots are over sized so you have to eyeball them to keep them centered before tightening. Long term I will get some hubcentric custom ones from wheeladaptors.com.
