Chris's STM Built Evo RS

In the Evo community the story behind Chris's 04 Evo RS is well known, first 4g63 to hit a 9 in the quarter mile with a stock bottom end on an FP Red, but there is always room for improvement.

The head has NEVER been off this car!

Here is a video from his FP Red set-up:

(There are a lot of "inside" jokes in the video, but definitely one of the best! Props to Brian Gleason for the editing skills!)

There was some competition to get to that 9 second pass... This car got there first with a 9.99 @ 140, but no more than 12 hours later, the time was beat by an Evo from Georgia hitting a 9.95@138 with an FP Black...

So we are on a mission to get that record BACK!

Chris, being first and foremost like family to us, is also a very dedicated customer. He puts his full trust in STM and while he is off serving the good old USA... it's time for his second family in the states to fab up something new. http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...illie_flag.gif

So we decided it was time to go balls to the wall and get it done! In went the STM Forward Facing 6262 turbo kit, bringing this car up 90 peak HP and well over 100 hp @ 7500 RPM from the FP Red set-up and the 9.9 @ 140...

And, yes, STILL STOCK BLOCK!

Still running the same 33 psi on E85... and wanting more!

Let's get this bad boy to a track!

Bad. Ass. I met Chris at one of the dyno days, cool dude. GL with getting that record back without breaking anything.

What's the mod list for the car? I'm curious what it takes to produce that kind of power from an EVO besides the obvious FP Red turbo.

It's not on a Red anymore. :p

So it ran 9.9 with 460hp? What does that thing weigh???

Damn nice evo. Looks great too. Wow das a lotta powa from a 4 banger!!!

Yes. 9.9 with 460 whp on our dyno. Our dyno reads very low. The car weighs about 2850 with me in it.

-Em

wow. 2850! I really need to get an evo! A 3S would only be mid to low 11s with some weight reduction:(

Do you mind sharing the weight reduction mods?

See my signature, my TT weighs 2740 ;)

About Chris's car, it is an RS model which means its a little lighter to start with. It comes from the factory with no a/c, radio or speakers, no wing on the back, no sound deadening in the car at all, no abs i thnk thats about it.
Here is his build thread that got the car to where it was before the turbo upgrade. There are pics of everything done for the most part.

Chris Cessna's quest for 9's on a stock motor

Great work by the way. You guys are f'n serious about drag racing!

I looked through that thread on the evo build. Did the stock interior go back in? I like the idea of stock looking to the untrained eye, but be much lighter.

What's the specs on the rims/tires you are running on the evo and TT? Would they fit over the stock brakes on a 1st gen?

All of these STM threads are swaying me towards ditching the creature comforts and making my car more purposeful instead of an all-arounder:)

They are 15'' rota slipstreams, and yes i run them on stock 1st gen tt brakes. You need a spacer and extended studs but its worth it. They are almost 70 pounds lighter than my stock wheels!

Yes the stock interior went back in, "all" of it did it is a very nice car to cruise around in but it is also still very light.

The thing people dont realize is that the stuff you see in the interior is the light stuff, i could make my car look like a full interior and still only weigh 2800 pounds. Everything hidden underneath and all around the car is is what really adds up in weight.

Are you using a 15x8 +40? What size tire on the TT?

I'll PM you with my other weight reduction questions, since my questions are TT oriented instead of Evo.

Your TT weighs 2740....Holy Shit. How. o.O
