Hi,

I owned an evo v in white (import a year ago) this had a evo 8 turbo in it and a bigger radiator.

Not sure what it was pushing out, wondering if you guys would have a rough idea as standard what the evo v had bhp wise?

Its just that my scooby is getting remapped next week to 290bhp and im just wondering wether its gonna be as quick as the evo as i feckin loved that machine before it was nicked.

i currently have a 03 wrx (215bhp) and it just aint the same as the evo v

cheers

280ps or 276bhp, I'm pretty sure....

suppose what i loved bout the evo was the fact that all the bhp kicked in at once- mental feeling!!!

My uncle owned an Evo V back when they were just out. Thing that impressed the most were the standard brakes...holy Sh*t they were good!

aye mate - they are awesome.....it was my first proper turbo and i just fell in love with it!!!
I dont really like the std brakes on the wrx

Tell me about it...standard brakes on sub's are well known for bein crap! I've got the original 2 pot calipers(pre 99) on mine which are a joke. Uprated the discs and pads to get the best out of them but they're still not much good when car is driven hard.

nah your right.
When they are being driven hard its like trying to stop the car with a plank of wood.
You can feel your pedal just bouncing and nothing happening :0

i would say 280 is standard so could have been near 300bhp, my m8 has got an evo 5 with filter and full exhaust system, make my wrx feel soooo slow
