I don't see there being a problem with the knock sensor. It is the MAF sensor that has its airwaves modified by the loud exhaust. It is like bumping a set of 12's and cracking open your window. The airwaves move back and forth and it screws up the airflow reading.

I don't have that problem as I am running speed density with no maf.

Now did someone say they wanted to run the wimpy stock turbo?

Just a little safc basic fuel controller. Not the maftpro we currently use.


It is called benchracing when you don't provide hard data.

Icefreezen- Will you be in Melbourne this weekend? Maybe we can meet up in Ft. Pierce Saturday night. Everyone meets up around 10:30pm.

Icefreezen-No problem. It is a weekly thing. pm me when you have a weekend to hang out.

I just couldn't resist posting this vid. It will give you an idea of what the 06evo's are capable of in the right hands. Please don't take offense, just having fun. It has taken me a long time to perfect the launch in the awd platform, but once you get it figured out the evo will do consistent 1.7 60's on the stock drivetrain. It is really easy to misshift in these cars also. And it definitely doesn't have the feel of the pro 5.0 or tri ax shifter My 06 evo is completely stock except for intake, exhaust, and ecu reflash.

Anyone else in the West Palm Beach area ever go to Moroso?

Nope. Nothing about 30 feet.:loser:

Tell ya what, put my mustang next to yer evo, 5-6 feet away, Ill get on it and bust it up to 5800 rpm, put a mic in the evo's engine, you wont hear yer evo. Im running straights, trust me, it IS that loud.

Now, here is something from an EVO Owner....

"Make sure you're cammed with a good deal of lift and run open exhaust. The noise will pull timing and add fuel. Make sure you keep the racket consistant because the evo will recover in a second. If you keep it noisy long enough he will have to reset the battery to run the proper maps."
if we were to line up at my local track, we would be about 30 feet apart. Sorry, no matter how much you want it to be true, its not......

I never said anything about racing, just that a loud enough exhaust setup could screw with some faulty knock sensors that were put in.

Ive just heared this far too often, and now there are a couple evo owners who explain why it would happen.

So far ive heared this mention on various mustang boards, several dodge boards (where i first heared it, the Dodge turbo deisel trucks owners were the first ones to report this happening, but it was a bit more generic, just that real loud noises coul screw up an evo), also seen a mention on it once on SRT-4mation (got those guys are idiots though).

Ya know, most myths are reported on actual facts then embellished. But usually there is a degree of truth behind it.

There is really no reason for you to get all butthurt over this. I never slammed on an evo, i got all the respect in the world for em (still dont like em, not my style, but i respect them).

But if you wanna sit there and deny what other evo owners are saying is a possibility, go ahead, be my guest.

As far as if i wanted it to be true, i could care less, i was just curious.

So go blow yerself and go back to yer evo board. Other evo owners have posted on here without getting all butthurt, maybe you should take thier example.

:loser:

WOW, ime not butt hurt, i was trying to let you know the truth so you wouldnt keep making yourself look dumb. I mean seriously, think about it for a minute and ime sure you will realize how stupid that sounds. Knock sensors are tuned for a specific frequency. If they werent, they would read voltage at ANY noise. I truly hope that you dont speak for the rest of the 'Stang drivers. I mean go blow myself???? THAT sounds totally like a ricer statement if ive ever heard one..........Oh, and honnestly, you wouldnt want to line up with me.....i think you know how that would end.........ime not here to bash your board. I was extreemly polite in my responces. And gave you the truth. This is the kinda crap that makes all boards suck to a certain extent. EVOM is no exception.....internet **** talkers..... But then you know that too.....seems you know everything...........

Would be interesting to see the 1/4 mi times this car runs.

Allthough I don't necesarily agree with the "Evo's aren't squat" I would have to admit this GT appears to have sound forced fed setup.

However, in regards to the orginal question in the thread on "what would be required to take a stock Evo at the strip" he nicely points out a blower should suffice. Well this is where it gets tough to say, 03 and 04 Evo 8's would be the easiest, 05's will be a little tougher, but to beat a stock 06 Evo (1/4 mi) the super charged GT would need whp upwards of say an 04 Cobra and a driver that can use it. Nonetheless, in any race with fairly modest cars, the better driver will win.

Jack The Ripper- Very well said and I'm with you on this one.

rraulston- Not to be a dick, but you really are disrespecting someone in their own house. No need for the sarcasm, it was a legitimate and simple question. If you haven't experienced it, that makes two of us, but that doesn't mean someone hasn't. This rumour was manifested from somewhere....

Ever think about turbocharging a GT?

Check the white car out. Even though he needs 4 lanes to make it down the track it does show another option of forced induction. The yellow one is centrifugal.
