Yes, as is the EVO VIII 260.

> 3. whats is a reliable bhp, if possible.

Assuming you're looking for an VIII or above, 400.

whats better an fq300 e7 or a fq300 e8?

whats better an fq300 e7 or a fq300 e8?

Fq300 VIII cos that's the one I have

 

[Dirtmatt]

If its a mr 8 then it will be better than the 7.. Expect for the gearbox. 5 speeds are stronger

 

[Billy MR]

6 speeds are good and faily strong provided they are maintained

The 8 is marginally better, but the 7 just looks rank IMO.

If its a mr 8 then it will be better than the 7.. Expect for the gearbox. 5 speeds are stronger

The 6sp is faster though and better on track, and gives more mpg on the motorway. It's a win-win gearbox, and the 5sp might be stronger but unless you're aiming for 500BHP+ the 6sp is fine. I had no problems with mine at 380 and that's the normal experience, there are no more 6sp failures than 5sp failures.

 

[Billy MR]

I'm running 400/400+ and had not one problem

 

[mart1983]

is it me or is there some over priced evos on mlr?

 

[Billy MR]

Some and some....yu may think they are and others don't

 

[mart1983]

Some and some....yu may think they are and others don't

true!

 

[ron23]

8 is much better than e7...but it's still down to you..

 

[mart1983]
