From STI to EVO
. It was three perfect years, but I must try the "other side".
worth a try although I suspect that you'll be back ...

The 10 is a step backwards mechanically (engine etc) but still a capable car, it loses out in all the tests you see in japan v the latest subaru though....

Hi All
TonyBurns you dont no much about the Evo X (10) Engine if you think its a step backwards
The look of the X might not be to everyones taste i agree, but the engine is a good bit of kit
All the BEST
Cheers

The 4B11 is lighter, lower CoG, has exhaust VVT, larger turbine housing, stronger conrods, much nearer to square bore:stroke, and arguably better cylinder head design even if some of the ports are smaller. The compressor size is smaller, and there is less room at the back of the engine for a large turbo, plus at very high power the block will probably be less strong.
Whilst I like the 4G63 and have got 500 BHP out of a stock bottom end, the stock rods are a concern. The 4B11 would be a good base for 500 BHP on a stock engine IMHO, so just a turbo kit, intercooler upgrade, injectors/pump, exhaust. Although the car is too heavy, the stronger stock engine where the rods were the limit on the 4G63 will be nice, I might be tempted if there was a strong gearbox with a sensible top gear that wouldn't be buzzy.

Well, I was satisfied with 340 hp on my STI so I hope I will be satisfied with near 400 on my EVO. Same mods, but more power. And, safe for motor.

My first reason is a look of new impreza, and after all, must try the other side. At the end of the day car specs are similar. And there is a tuneability of cars or "more for less".
