My question is for those of you who are at this level and have the supporting mod's,how long or how many miles have you put on the engine since?any put on 50,000 miles on this set up and what repairs have you had to do?Yes, i know proprely caring for the motor will make it last but i was just curious before i start a project if this is something i will be reparing evey winter?Yes, i did a search and no i wont be beatin on it every chance i get.Not to be rude but i dont want to turn this into which turbo is better thread but to have some feedback on how long your blocks have lasted.Thanks.
 
I've been running 12's and have 15 11 second passes on my evo 16g powered car so it's somewhere in that powerband and has been there for several thousand miles. I've never had to replace anything.
 
to get 350whp on an evo3 is pretty difficult...it can be done, but it's gonna take alot of good tuning and boost...

the motor should be fine with a 350whp setup as long as the tune is safe and you take care of the maintanance issues...

if you don't already have the turbo and want a similar simple setup...you should consider a 20g or 50 trim mitsu bolt on int wg variant...both turbo's will give you the power with similar spool as the evo...

most people assume they are excellent tuners and will have no problem with getting their car to perform like all the numbers proclaim...when in reality it takes quite an effort to get a car to do what you want it to do in the hp range...

goodluck

1st your suggest a 20g, and then your say a 50trim?

If he finds a 20G for a cheap price then yes pick it up, but for the price ill take a BB 50trim
 
I have seen numerous 1gs, gvr4s, 2gs put down atleast 350whp with a evo 3 16g. They were done on racegas or pump/meth.
 
Technically, a 20G is a nonBB 50 trim. Used 20Gs can be had for less then $600, 500 in many cases.

okay, care to explain this one....?

EvoIII at 28 psi on straight pump 93 gas? Is this with meth injection as I wouldn't call that straight pump & if your not running meth, I would like to know your secret as that defently isn't the norm.

350 whp on straight pump with the evoIII isn't all that common (I'm not saying it can't be done by any means, just talking about your average joe tuner) but like was said add a little meth injection into the picture & you shouldn't have any issues.

I ran my evoIII close to that range the past two summers without any issues, 20-22 psi daily. I have since moved to a larger turbo.

WTF Because both will suit his goal. And both have typical hotsides that accomodate a more pumpgas friendly tune and still deliver his goal.

I agree here. But to the original poster, keep in mind that choosing the hotside is critical here. both a 20g and a 50 trim compressor can deliver such a hp level. But a good flowing hotside will make that "easier" A tdo5h 7cm^2 housing turbine CAN do this. But JUST on pump gas is not likely.

My td05H 7cm^2 18G loved 30 psi w/ water/alky injection. Likely what boost you'll need to run to meet your goal on a stock longblock. It gave me a 'slap on the wrist' when I clogged my check valve. It is likely that if I had a larger turbine or a larger a/r turbine housing that I would have been able to meet my goal w/ out having to run as much boost. It's that simple.
