why do evo's produce so much torque for 2.0
hey folks just been trailing through some mlr threads and seen some cars are running
400 bhp with same amount of torque
im just wondering how they do it
ive got a 2.0 blob sti with an 321t (with supporting mods)
but i dont think im hitting anywhere near 400 on the torque
anyone know why the evos are so high
cheer

On a well set up STi running an MD321T, you should be seeing the best part of 400 lbs ft torque though. If not, there may be an issue with your car's specification/mappoing as opposed to a generic issue with the type of car!

Cams..
Am I right in thinking a lot of the scooby crew don't look into cam changes til over 450-500bhp?
Good cams on an Evo bring both increases in power and torque.

The JDM's have different internals, high intensity cast pistons, but that is just part of it, better crank for oil distribution, only known 1 blow up and thats because the owner didnt have it mapped for uk fuel and ragged it against a bike (he is on here btw ) but the equal length manifolds help with torque, the engines are proven to be stronger than the evo's (unlike the classics which were a fair bit weaker ) otherwise 80% different to the uk 2ltr engines.

Nice Tony, if I went back to a scoob it would be a Spec C from what i have seen (Rob North's old one was a great car)

It's basically because the Ev* has a longer throw crank as std. my pal Ben is building 2.3 strokers for them using 100mm cranks. Our 2.0 uses 75mm and the 2.5 uses a 79mm crank, thus more torque from an Ev* for a given engine capacity.
All IMHO.

There is some truth in it bud, the jdm model sti's and Spec C's have a lot stronger and different internals than the type uk Inpreza's, higher rev limit, like you would have on a forged evo.
Evo's seem to be better for getting more power, more easily, and will run 500-600 fairly reliably if put together by the right person with the right supporting mods.

If thats the case mate then that would explain a hell of a lot My 2.3ltr made 562lbs on a lowly gt3076

The Evo has longer throw crank??? - damn (Why was I not informed of this earlier ), after three scoobs and all this faff I could've just bought a bloody Evo and got all my low end torque without pricing 2.5 conversions just to get the low end torque back....

just my 2 pence
but is it not alot to do with boost pressure?? my bud runs his evo at around 1.8 bar... i dont dare run my scoob over 1.4 bar... ( remapped ) high boost..

I had a 400bhp/400ltb 9 gt and it was no fasther then my 2006 spec c running 360bhp/360ltb. However the spec c was the much better handling car out the box by far.

Its cheaper to get more power out of the evo but the standard sti engine is more reliable than the standard evo's.

Gearing helps, my pal's 2.3 Ev* pulls at 40 mph in top in a way no < 3.0 Subaru turbo ever will....
My Imp could hold it's own against a 205 GTI, except where torque came in, i.e. out of tight corners, and up steep hills. Similar power, but way lower torque, 6.037 crank throw IIRC, and a 10.000 rpm limit

My spec c pulls at 35 in 6th (310-320bhp), goes all the way to the top, better than your mates evo 2.3 by the looks (you can happily drive around town in 5th at 25mph in the twin scroll cars and they will still pick up )

at the end of the day evo's & scoobs are both great 4doors family cars that would wipe the floor with most sport cars out there, there both great in there our way really no point saying 1 is better than the other bcuz there's always some think you can mod on them to make them better.
