standard evo 6 internals good for 450bhp???? not for very long lol. Standard crank and pistons are fairly strong but the rods are not. and the standard tubby just would not flow that much air. realistic figures for a standard 6 lump in that state of tune should be about 360bhp and similar torque. if pj have given you advice/info like you've stated above i can understand why there not heard of in the evo scene lol

Go see a tuner who actually knows their evos and wont give you inflated power figures. MADevelopments would be my first choice but there are lots of others. norris designs, NR autosport, rg motorsport, APT etc etc
