(obviously has gone 10’s with the 35r…) #4.) the ej257 motor is a relatively new experiment. it was implemented for the 2004 sti… the 4g63 motor came around in what… 1989/1990? little more development time for parts and to “perfect” something than the shit design of the ej… #5.) most evo’s running low 11’s stock turbo are 5 speeds… ALL sti’s are 6speed… trust me when i say that extra shift is a true bitch… needing to shift to 5th (an overdrive gear) in a 1/4 mile doesnt exactly help drag times. thank you, have a good day. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/sti-vs-evo-and-why/246461)._
