LOL yeah, DOCILE did 1200whp if I remember rightly. But it doesn't count because "insert colour/engine size/chassis/whatever made up reason"

[geordo]

US dynos read high too.

Its a different 'record' becasue its an EVO8 and not a 3,4,5,6,7 etc

[Lithium]

Thats what I assumed until I read : "Worlds highest HP EVO - PERIOD!".

<bzzt> Wrong.

[geordo]

LOL my bad yet another 'record' then

[ImpulseWRX]

All these EVO's are in the 170-175 mph range but looks like docile is the fastest.

Oh yeah and forgot to add, I like the "how to run 10s" with a DMS Evo 1,2,3 guide that Buschur Racing have on their website.

That is a very cheap recipe for a very quick car.

Not sure if you know or not but just to clarify, DOCILE's PB is 8.23 @ 179.5mph and has surpassed 180mph in other runs.

[ImpulseWRX]

Well there you have it Docile = shit hot :)

[ImpulseWRX]

oh yeah and to compare with wrx

Rigoli 4wd EJ20 4 Cylinder

Best E.T: 7.795 @ 176.93mph
http://www.tonyrigoliperformance.com.au/trp_racecars-drag_sti_rwd.html

EVO seems to get more mph even compared to the displacement of the EJ33, I wonder what mph would be gained from being manual

[geordo]

I dont think an EJ is anywhere near a 4G or most inline 4s for that matter.

[ImpulseWRX]

Isnt that kinda what I was getting at?

Rigoli's WRX the EJ33 has hit 183mph on nowhere near full boost. They can't put any more power into it as the car is already a handful as it is. Wait til they turn the boost up. And wait til they sort out the tyre and suspension and clutch. 190mph+ here we come. Better yet wait til they put the real EJ33motor in. The one they have that has run a best of 7.5@181mph is their test motor. Straight from Dom Rigoli's mouth. lol

And Rigoli's have purchased ESX's Full Tube WRX. They are going to put the running gear of DBRONX (the gold WRX) in the full tube chassis and put up the boost. Lets see what they run. Its going to be 7's for sure.

Don't try compare mph from a drag auto to a manual. The manual will always be higher in trap speed but slower in ET like all drag cars.

Really the main advantage there is the tubbed RWD thing....

If you do it in the USA then it's a world record :p


Just to clarify exactly how far off AMS were by making that claim, thought I'd post a dyno graph from early last year which doesn't even run to peak power (~9500-9600rpm normally with this car):

[Martin@AMS]

Just wanted to clear a few things up. We have a dynojet all wheel drive dyno and have compared our #'s to a Dynapack #'s and the Dynapack reads about 5% higher than our Dynojet #'s.
I think making a statement that US dyno's read higher really doesn't make sense. What type of dyno, I've never heard of the brand 'US Dyno' :)? You can configure a Mustang dyno to read whatever you want, same with other dyno's. In my opinion as long as you don't use SAE correction at high altitudes on a turbo car, the Dynojet is one of the most repeatable and consistent dynomometers available.
Now the question is the who's got the highest horsepower? Well we'd have to be on the same dyno and do a back to back pull. Is there a 1200whp dyno chart of the car? Out of curiosity what does Docile EVO weight? I think it's a bad ass car and I would never take anything away from it. I'm not here to start a fight and say our car is better or faster. Just wanted to go on here to answer any questions you guys might have.

Martin have you lads run the car at the drags since its made this power?? Im interested to see what MPH it gets??

[ImpulseWRX]

Martin thanks for joining the thread I just noticed that Nick Zervos pushed an 8.16 @ 173 in the following Jamboree video, and then 8.07 @ 176.26

impressive!! Cant wait too see it hit the track might be some competition for the APC boys :)

[Martin@AMS]

Unfortunately we've gone to the track twice with it and both times it rained. Since then we've been involved with so many projects including an engine building competition that we used the drag car chassis for. We finally have it together and are waiting for the turbo to get back to us. We're making another 100whp peak and carrying more power up top than the 172mph run. I'm really hoping with some more tweaks we'll hit 180mph this year still.

-Martin

[UDLOOZ EVO]

Good luck Martin cause if you hit that 180mph with a good 60ft it will lead to an easy 7..... Something tells me carrying that much power that your 60ft is gonna be the make or break of the car :)
