anyone know what the bhp figure is for these?

 

All depends on which model it is


Luciano

 

A mate of mine has a uk Evo 7 (GSR I think) 280 bhp.

Claims it tops out at 171mph though

 

As far as i know there is only 3 different models, the evo 7, the evo 7 rs and the evo 7 fq300. If so then i need to know the first one

 

think unless moded....278 (280) bhp...it's a jap limit....

 

so are the fq models, which are on the 8's and 9's and late 7's, are they uk models then?

 

i think evo 7's are the better looking of the evo range aswell

 

Yeah, they are a lot better looking then the 8's. The 9's are nice but pricey at the moment!

 

If i was gonna get one it would be the FQ300, take it to my pal at MA Developments, spend a couple of grand on it and walk away with 370 horsies, lovely jubbly

Sorry I misunderstood your question i was thinking along the lines of the 260,300,320,340,360 and 400 versions but i know these came later on.

My Evo 7 is 205kw at the fly and dynoed at 165kw at the wheels. Needs to be converted to BHP.

They come restricted out of Japan as mine is an import. Models here are mine which is the GSR and the GTA which is the Tiptronic version and the only Evo model to have Tiptronic.

Top speed is good 160mph once derestricted which is a simple enough exercise and one of a couple of plans for mine this year.

I didnt realise the 7's were in the FQ range in the UK, thought is was only the 8's

Anyway HTH

 

FQ's are 305 BHP Std

They have a HKS exhaust, HKS Panel filter & a different remap from the Std GSR, as well as some real nice carbon touches and a numbered plaque!

Mines got HKS induction, Decat and set up and producing around 320ish BHP............... Love every minute

 

Bigpower Your car looks

Luciano

 

Just about to order some rims for mine and will most likely go XD9's or CE28n's as I need semi comps for my stock rims on the track.

Few pics anyway and a couple of vids:

 

bigpower

Your car does look very nice

 

evo done well in the vids.

 

Seeing all these pics i gotta post a pic of my old baby!!! Only car ive been truly gutted to sell !

Believed to be about 340horses (tubular fanimold, zorst, GEMs management, ALS etc!!!)


Chris

 

these are really nice cars.

tempted,so tempted.

 

i did like that one of yours chris
think thats what i would be driving now if i was still in the uk

 

Bigpower you cars is a nail!!!

















And i have to keep saything that to myself as everytime i see your sig i want one. Its soooooooooo nice. Wheels looks like they where made for the car One of the best looking 7's i have seen.

7's and 6's are the best evos imo.

 

POPEYE

why not drive one over there.

 

Oh Alan what you doing fook using power wash thing Carfull of those scratches

 

Cos hes got a pink Cadillac convertible to pose on the sea front

 

tbh dave, im still unsure what i want to get
if i get a turbo car i will land up spending money on it.
was thinking of getting a xr6ti ute ( tax reasons, plus its only a toy i can also use for work sometimes )
but starting to eye up the 5.7 0r 6.0 v8 commodore utes now as they look so much better than falcons, in ute versions anyway
but hey got until the end of march till i get one anyway

 

old grey mitsi magna wagon to be precise rhys

 

Thanks mate, they go well and TBH should have won both as that is their strength. It can doughnut on a 5p piece and loves that kind of stuff. Turning circle is shite though which got me in the 2nd one as there wasnt enough width to handbrake it either.

Pops, let me know when you come to Melbourne, we will go up to some very popular twisties. Might take a morning or afternoon though as they are out of town.

There are a fair few floating around and are around $35K now. Cheap to run, insure and spares. The main importers are in Sydney. If you are interested go on: www.evolutionoz.net.au which also has tuners and other evo owners up your way.

Rhys, yep a car wash. The guy with the yellow skyline is a detailer and didnt want me going through it. He will only ever use the hose, not the brush. I used a brush on mine the week after that and scratched it to death so he cut it all back for me. [/code]

 

LOL


Thanks for the comments, Im real happy with the look of it, Wheels were well worth the ŁŁ

Get one bought!

 

I may aswell join on, here's my Evo 7

just thought I'd post my 2 penneth had the cossie bought the Scoob Sti 8 + PPP then went to the EVO VIII GSR then went to WRC Tech and got 340hp / 338 lbs and it was undoubtedly THE best driving machine I have ever owned then I got the chance to swap it for this:



and I'm back in the land of "god I fooking love my car"

just thought I'd add this for the ford boys

 

bet the evo was better though Andy.

 

oh yes like I said "THE best driving machine" but did I wake up on a sunny morning and think right gonna get the EVO out LOL!!

horses for courses i guess but for me the the EsCos is THE best closely followed by the Integrale

 

 

Even GSR (Import) Evo 7's should be circa 300bhp.

The Japanese bhp law/limit is bollox on most of their turbo'd cars, the Evo is no exception. Pretty sure a standard skyline GTR will make around 320bhp when stuck on the rollers over here.

My Evo 6 Import (again supposedly 280) made 312bhp

 

hi all, its a well known fact that the most eveo,s run more like 300bhp as standard its just that thyay have to say 270/ 280 for jap laws as all who have driven evo,s there handling and performance is just awsome, and people keep saying uk spec.. all evo,s are imports the uk spec ones were just brought in by ralliart..but or still imports as the MLR will tell you ther is no such thing as a uk evo

Sold my Evo this Morning .......

Will be picked up soon by the new owner, who i'm sure will reveal them selfs soon


The car has DEFFO given me the BEST DRIVING experience so far from all the cars ive owned


But due to the fact i dont use it enough , ive decided to start looking for an old ford again

 

 

I know

I'll end up regretting it, but the hunt is on for another Ecos , ,May as well get another as its the only car you want to pamper rather than use ( Dry weather only ), where as the evo wants using all the time!

 

just awsome mate my fav colour
