My brother installed a manual boost controler on his EVO8 RS to keep max boost till redline and was feeling like a 6 years old after watching Power Rangers (kung-fu powers ). So I had to show him my tail pipes

First try in 3rd, me at 4500rpm

Now from 2nd in VTEC )

If you wonder how it looks like when the S is NA (V2, Spoon throttle body,header and t1R exhaust with test pipe, 4.57 gears) here is a run against the same car without the MBC. He has only a 3" downpipe and cat-delete. Please forget driver skills involved in this, the EVO driver is my brother and we do not race to win, but to compare the performance gains. It's not really a race, it's a comparison of cars.
NA s2000 VS EVO8

If you wonder who was the camera man, well...it was a camera girl (my wife):

Hope you like it since we finally get to see more than head lamps,right?And regarding the EVO, my brother turned up the boost to stock 20psi with the MBC and was hanging with a M3 coupe till 220kmh bumper to bumper. If you think you can take him with a stock S, please stop

 

I would hope a lovefab turbo S would pull the crap out of an evo, hell stock for stock it should be close to a drivers race from a roll, w/ 4.57's i dont know why you didnt pull on him n/a

 

evos ARE fast... trust me... big difference driving one compared to an S... they die a bit @ 85+ mph... but they will walk us stock.

 

As much as I love the S...a stock one stands no chance against a stock Evo.

I am supriced that you guys share my opinion that there is NO way a stock AP1 can hang with a stock EVO8. Maybe the EVO in the states is a bit slower, but over here a stock EVO8 kills an stock s2000 just like that...the other 2 videos are not working yet, come back in a 1/2 hour please....

 

dude. no

 

Yeah, right

 

oh a stock S can't beat a stock evo.....ya right

 

A good friend of mine bought a Evo8 RS...we went to the drags not intending to race each other...I had all his tools in the back of my car when we got lined up next to each other (about an extra 100lbs worth)

He had me at the launch and pulled about 1 car length right there but from the after launch to the finish we stayed dead even. He wasn't pulling at all, kinda like that race you show with the N/A S vs. the Evo. Except he was stock and I was stock. And also, he is a "professional" racer so no he doesn't suck at driving. They are pretty much even.

Now, in that vid, the Evo has a 3" downpipe and no cat. That makes a big difference. Spool-up is greatly reduced, top end power is increased a good amount. But I'd think an S with all those mods should have still had him.

Either way, the Evo has much much much more potential then the S to be an incredibly fast car. And barely any of them are stock...so chances are if your driving an S, you'll get whooped.

 

1. Which car did you use to shoot the Evo vs. S2000 race? Must be fast to keep up with the 2 cars?

2. Your wife's got good camera skills.

3. Need to race this Evo next... http://videos.streetfire.net/Player.aspx?f...AF-9DCC7F13F5A2
