w2j you should know would the stock drive train hold up to a 10 sec pass?

the evo 9/8 platform starts giving away above 500whp. i would think any stock gearbox/t-case would start letting out around there.

hmph, i've heard many stories dat the evos transfer case is very weak

even under stock power the transfer case breaks if u launch too hard

any truth in this?

yup some truth, they are tougher than most think, but it all depends on driving/lauching style. u supposed to slip the clutch on launch - basically making the clutch take the abuse.

there is actually a write up on how to launch and the 7,8 and 9 have launch control as well (9s give trouble for some reason).

also i know a lot of evo owners who have never even changed there fluids in the drivetrain...

sti ftw

if u prefer spin a bearing and still damage ur gearbox ..cool :lol:

Hoe, the guys who normally break the Tcase, launch at 6k plus RPM and then dump the clutch and expect it to stay intact. That is madness.

crazybalhead,

n00b question

other cars can be launched hard and the gearbox stands up... even after havin the clutch dumped repeatedly

why is the evo transfer case so fragile (comparatively) esp since its supposed to be rally built...

it is not weak, 500whp and standin up?

its beacause its 4WD the tries dont slip, they grip putting excessive force on the GB and T-case. if u pop clutch on a RWD + FWD the tires slip and spin

honda hoe · Postby **honda hoe** » June 24th, 2009, 11:51 am

so why that don't happen to sti's then?

hmph · Postby **hmph** » June 24th, 2009, 12:02 pm

their gearbox goes instead of t-case

honda hoe · Postby **honda hoe** » June 24th, 2009, 12:08 pm

hmmm... i heard their weak point is the axles

GEAR_HEAD · Postby **GEAR_HEAD** » June 24th, 2009, 12:27 pm

the 8MR and up have a stronger transfer case (stronger materials used in the design).

Very true-

If you launch the evo right it will leave the line very quickly - with very little tire slip (waste).

well hoe, stick with d evo and learn not to launch TOO hard.
That is good advice i give you there eh.

Don't let that minor transfer case deter yuh from the evo, it is still a reliable beast...you may have to adjust your driving habits to it :lol:

Not to burst your bubble...the build looks really nice but most evo X's seem to be making no more than 450 whp on the red atm. Given your cars weight (about 3600 lbs) you are looking at high 11s 1/4 mile times. :wink:
