if you need a valvetrain supporting 9k rpm on a motor with max hp under 6k, you need to stop playing gran turismo 2 and learn how engines really work

Re: Evo or STI??
 
He clearly stated that when the motor revolves at such high rpm, the valve train will permit the flow of the intake from producing higher volumes of air which will greatly reduce overall flow and prevent air from being circulated correctly to enter the cylinder at a preferred rate of speed and flow. It all depends on how well the harmonics workout at the desired level of distortion. I mean, let's face it, you're not going to be pulling VAC through the ports like you would on a pushrod motor, even if the combustion chamber was adusted to be proportionate to the structure and balance of the surrounding atmosphere. :-\

wow people dont know what the ---- they are talking about. subies sound sexy with a turboback and i *guess* can be made decently quick with a turboback and cobb ecu. not quick enough for me, but fast enough for the average jim at least. evos obviously have much more potential in the long run. you can make 400whp reliabley all day long regardless of what anyone says. given that you said you want the daily drive it and will go only as far as bolt ons, i would probably pick the sti. i have driven both cars and will tell you that the evo is more rickity and getgo worthy while the sti is a bit more civil and comfortable. dont get me wrong, neither of the cars are comfortable, but the sti has a little more give than the evo. that is a fact. test drive both and make your own opinion. most people havn't driven both cars back to back so its not really fair to take their opinions into consideration.

Well I guess we should just close the topic because Jesus himself has dropped his great wisdom on us. :1 I'm just glad we have someone like you on here who can let us all know our personal opinions, likes and dislikes are all wrong and we should follow your lead and agree with your ideas. :1
