Does anyone know if the evt and the bps mikuni carb kits are identical. The bps are about 100 cheaper.

yea, with heads and exhaust eventually. Whats the difference ? what performs better?

Bps uses stock intake EVT uses custom stainless intake

I have ran both de BPS & EVT set ups, I found dat de EVT set up had better throttle response / power gains. If ur thinkin' bout future mods go wit de EVT, u won't regret it!

Not trying to sound like an a** hole but dyno numbers are like measuring your ____. Its not peak numbers that matter it is the usable power under the curve. Real world speed and load carrying ability is what proves this.

Yep, and "Real World" numbers have to be compared in "real world" tests.

Not opinions.

Just like real dyno pulls with real hp numbers and torque curves are useless.

WTF?

I'll let y'all know after this weekend how a BPS mikuni kit does on a 36PD. Everything else is stock so any gains will only be due to the carb.

someone's got dem selves a nasty lil' inferiority complex my opinion is my opinion and der ain't no way u's gonna make me believe otherwise! so mudd-butt, bring u'r lil dyno tested machine down here for sum real life testin, coona$$ style
Btw: u barking up de wrong tree wit dat BPS jargon, I dun been on dat side of de fence podnah! But if u wanna dance, start de friggin' music!

No question about it, EVT is better. BPS is owned by mudbuddy!

No doubt! Usually I don't venture North of I-10, it just don't feel right! if I go up der would u make me an honorary member of u'r prostaff?

As 4 as de "dyno" ting, I tink its a waste of time!

BTW: I'm not on here to sell parts! Just wanna spread a lil Gospel!

Amen, brother!

Stanco & Sandy y'all must change ur avatars if u ever want me to read what y'all type!LOL


MUDD: do y'all dyno @ de crankshaft or de propshaft?

Also is this dyno have a brake to simulate load?

Is the only real difference the intake? If it's that big of a deal, can somone with the BPS kit just buy the EVT intake later or will it not mate up?

good question.

Yes it is.

Admit it most of ya don't like hte BPS stuff because of the MB connection, has nothing to do with better performance just who's building it ...............As far as real world running, what runs good to one guy might feel like a piece a Sh!t to another, dyno numbers are your only good gauge unless your pulling motors and try'n them on the same rig...............I believe the dyno number that Mudd is talking about was done from the crank..........

I HAPPEN TO ENJOY THEIR AVATARS.

I ran both on a stock 35 gd 20x60 custom. the bps started easier and had better hole shot. Unless you are going inside for cam and pistons stay with bps. I did not run the bps once I did cam and pistons ( It ran on two hours before the evt cam gave out) I got it back together just as the season started but ran the evt . My guess is if you cleaned up the stock unit with bps unit you won't notice any difference until you get real extreme.
If you want bottom end stay with stock cam and bps carb kit clean up the heads.Hoyt gets real good performance with stock carb and intake with head work and a modest cam.

I ain't gots nothin' againts the BPS fellers ..... I even called them one time .... when alot of ya'll was still crappin' yeller !!!! Problem ... was ... and mite still be .... thay just now doin' a exhuast that .. mite .. last .. or mabe .. it mite not !!!! Hopkins did the sho nuff deal and tried some of us !!! Thanks Hopkins fo yore efforts !!!!

EVT came thru with thay's design .... It is Good and It do perform well and I ain't heard of No Problems what so ever 'bout the EVT muff 'cept .....

"Price" !!!!! Price is high ...... but so is PurpleHull Peas !!!!

I don't know why but my evt sweats a lot. Any body else have that?
JD

JD you know as well as i dat de cam issue wasn't with EVT, but der manufacturer! I guarantee you more BPS cams have "petered" out den da EVT's
btw: wouldn't de humidity have somethin to do wit de sweatin?

I thought I read in one of your earlier posts that EVT did not warranty the cam issue or other parts damaged because of the failure. Whats' the story there? I would assume it is because they did not install it. This issue would be my main concern. Everyone can get a lemon regardless if it's the dealer or manufacturer's fault. What really matters is how they handle problems after the sale.
