hey i will soon be getting an Evo, 350z, or bmw 330ci. ive been checking things on all of the cars. so far ive found out that the 350z will rape me with insurance costs and on stock internals its only safe to boost max 9PSI, so that car is out. the Bmw i just love them. my brother has a E46 325i, everytime i drive it i love the feel and smoothness of shifting, its not a fast car and i would only s/c it but its still a love of mine. now the Evo's i love because of the agressive look, the 4 doors, turbo, and AWD. awd is big for me because its been snowing alot in chitown area. but what is the max boost i can go on the stock pistons and block? i have no problem doing something like cams becuase i do not need to take the engine out. any help on some PSI numbers would be awsome

There is no stuck thing ask max psi/boost its all comes down to the size of the turbo you are using. Try to search this topic has been beating in the eclipse forum

well i will search i have been for 3 days but no answers so i threw up a post. but im not saying what kind of turbo im just wondering at what psi will the stock internals blow at? i want to be safe n not blow the engine...obviously. im new to boost to. my buddy has an RX-7 all built by him so i have him to go to about questions and all.

I see that you don't know much about the Evolution. The STOCK boost level is about 18psi and the stock engine can take up to 400hp WITH OUT any other internal mods. This is the best I4 engine that can make a lot of power.

The best I6 is from Toyota Supra that engine can make 700hp with out any internal mods.

ok thats exactuly what i wanted to know/hear. im really starting to like them alot, i love the 4 doors and AWD. looks like my buddys audi wont be the only one tearing it up in the snow! i will research this car to death tho, like i have with the others i like. thats what i do with my spare time! better than what most **** kids my age do

so if your refering to yourself as a kid (or other people your age are kids) don't you think you should build into an Evo? or are your parents buying it? either way, thats a big liability for a "kid" just be safe man.

i will be buying it myself. ive spent countless hours working on my car and researching, and im going to an auto tech school for half the day at my highschool. im not going to be a mechanic tho. But there i will learn the right way, and safe way to do everything. i had to teach myself how to do everything from oil to brakes to audio systems to a full engine swap. i have no doubt in my capabilities in learning or teaching myself how to do and build up the evo to what i want it to be.

I'd check insurance out first.

if you dont mind me asking how much do you guys pay per month?? im on my dads insurance and will be with the Evo. im paying 60 a month with my car right now, which is a 94 mazda mx6 LS.

It'll be less for him, but i'd still get quotes before making the buy.

yeah i will, thanks for the help

go to those web auto insurance and get a quote for fun. you will be surprise

Im 20 years old,
I live in new zealand, and had no prievous claims or crashes ever,
The insurance on my 1998 EVO 5 is $2100 per year, with a $1200 excess if crashed, $1500 excess if stolen. When i hit 23, the excess goes down to $650, and when im 25, the excess goes down to $250, thats assuming ive made no claims.
My insurance is based on a 55% no claims bonus.
The ammounts ive said abouve are in NEW ZEALAND dollars.
hope this helps :)

ps: love my evo. SOOO WORTH THE COST TO INSURE

EDIT:
Monthly my insurance is around $240 - somewere in that mark
