EVO GT610 Kit Released
#31
is it possible for you to compare and contrast for us the K24 hybrid, Vivid Ball bearing turbos with external waste gates and then your current offering? So we can decide what is best for us?? ie best bang for the buck?
I think we would all think it helpful if possible?

My car was the test mule for this kit here with Evo in Phoenix, AZ. Have had the kit on the car for about 2 months now and I cannot say enough about how pleased I am. So far absolutely no issues. The power is smooth and linear but definitely throws you back in your seat. When I first drove it home I was hitting it pretty hard and I noticed some lights flickering in the left lower side of my dash. I called Mike thinking something was wrong but was pleased to learn that it was just the traction control was kicking in... I was breaking loose in 2nd gear!
So far no issues with cooling. I'm in Phoenix and its warming up so we'll see if that needs to be addressed. I'm also riding on the stock clutch right now and, again, so far its doing fine. I'll be at the track with the car this weekend so we'll see how it holds up.
The guys at Evo have been great to me and I'm sure that the Shark crew treats their customers equally well. I would highly recommend this kit, especially to those with K-16s that are looking to go beyond Stage 2. I have a couple other mods in store but I'm sure I'll be moving up to the GT-660 in time. Nice to know its a relatively simple upgrade and I already have most of the hardware I need.

Will this setup and my engine hold up on a track car??
Is this stuff for the guys that want to drive around on the streets and maybe dragstrip passes or can the car hold up for 90 minute enduro, 30 minute sprint race, practice and qualifying sessions in one weekend then weekend after weekend or is that not the intention for that kind of hp?

PS I'd add the water-cooling kit too for a track car...

As stated in my previous post, I will be taking the car to the track this weekend in Phoenix. Supposed to cool down (!!!) to the mid-80's. This is only a DE event but I think it will be a good chance to watch the temp guage and see how the clutch handles the power. I'm probably more of an 8 or 9 out of 10 driver on the track as I need this thing to get back and forth to work but this will definitely be the hardest I have driven since the GT-610 upgrade.
I'll let everyone how it runs. Anticipating that suspension and brake upgrades are going to be in order next.

Which suspension are you considering? We should do this together. I was thinking about getting the PSS10 with a rear swaybar.
