135i vs EVO 9

[JPV135i]

Firstly I'd like to give thanks to Sherwin from excede for his excellent service and software!! Now to the awsome fun I had to night whipping an EVO 9, ( just so you guys know the evo belongs to my brother in law and his mods are: decat full exhaust , upgraded intercooler, induction kit and remap.) now to the good stuff, before I had software done we did a couple of runs and he constantly pulled away from me, 1st... 2nd... 3rd... I'd see the oversized sized exhaust screaming away from me... Untill tonight ( I had the software done with out him knowing) we pull up next to each other rolling at 60ks/h in 2nd, and the hooter goes, once... Twice... And on the third blow, it's balls to the wall!! I looked out to my right to find only his lights in my side mirror and getting further and further away!! :clap: you can only imagine the excitement running through me, and the look on his face!! (just thought I'd share my Enjoyment with you all)

thanks again excede!!

Thanks for the kind words JP, I have been waiting to hear the results because this is the benchmark car you have raced before. I wish I could have been there to see his face when you whooshed away.

Well done man ,I just ran two e36 m3s and a turbo golf ,135 atleast 3 cars infront and opening

Xcede rocks

Neelsie88 will see what I can do about the vid, I'll organize another race soon, and get some footage of it!! Hopefully before he mods it again!! Cause I know he doesn't like to loose!! (but neither do I) it's a never ending battle between us, "who's is the fastest" so Sherwin be prepaired!!:thumb:

Nice one!! :thumbsup: Evo's are amazingly fast!!!
shows what a x35i can do with just software alone!! :thumb:

 

[Twinz]

Nice kill. :thumbsup: Your brother in law is already on the NET looking for upgraded parts to beat you and to take advantage of the strong Rand.

 

[neelsie88]

Kwl, can't wait for a Video!!!

 

[JPV135i]

Ya for sure, I ragged him this morning a bit and he says he's already sourcing a bigger turbo!!!( The challenge begins!! ) you can expected more mods to the 135 soon, to keep up with the "competion":excited:

Nice win JPV. Its a really gratifying result when you can see your tune closed car lengths against a constant rival.
How badly do you suffer with traction and in which gears?

 

[JPV135i]

Hi George smooth, well traction is a bit of an issue, I basically don't ever use 1st cause I won't get anywhere, so I mostly do all my pull offs in 2nd, and most of second breaks traction too... Iv got an a/t so what iv learnt to do is foot on the brake rev up to about 1500rpm and release the brake, and keep about half throttle till about 3500 or so! And that's pretty much given me my best 0-100 time which was a 5s flat!!

I use a similar system to you. When I went high power I noticed I had a lot of wheel spin in second that I couldn't feel but could see it when I Vboxed. So I lowered boost in second gear just to get the car to build some momentum.

I see you got a quiafe diff does it help at all?

If have since removed it and fitted a M3 diff. It only helps in the corners and if traction is very bad. At the track there isn't really a difference. It made the worlds difference on the bends though, the car is far more controllable. There is more oversteer but nothing a seasoned driver cannot control. Before on the bends you use to get inside wheelspin which would make the car slower out of the corners.

 

[JPV135i]

Ok sounds good always enjoy a little oversteer!! And the m3 diff how's that? Sorry for all the questions but very interested to do something like that if it's going to help!!

So I spoke to my brother in law a little while ago, and told him I wanted to have another run or 2 to film it to post it on the site, and unfortunetly he didint agree to have his loss filmed!! But not to worry... I'll catch him un awear!! he'll think there's no cam and hopefully he won't suspect that I'll have one hidden somewhere in my car!! I'll let you all know if I get right!!
