Hi guys Anyone here own or come from an Evo X? I'm thinking about buying a new Evo X MR and using it as a daily driver Looking for feedback on reliability, how well the interior holds up over time to creeks and rattles, any issues with unwanted attention, does every ricer give you the 'run me' stare at the lights, do i have to worry about where to park it etc I went and drove one today and really liked it. It felt like a baby GTR. What blew me away was the grip on turn in and how fast it changes direction without fuss, it's about as darty as i remember an Exige feeling. The dual clutch is very smooth in auto mode and enough low down torque to get up to the speed limit quickly in higher gears, which is what i want in a daily Equipement levels are extremely good for the money too - cornering xenons, bluetooth, nav, mp3, rain sensing wipers, full leather, reverse cam etc

Going for an e85 tune, and found some brand new FIC injectors for a good price, but he states he bought them for a evo 6 and isnt 100% if they fit on the 7 8 or 9, just wondering if theyd fit on a 7? Also is 1450cc injectors too big for an entry level tune? (200-220awkw) Cheers

Hello Forum Members, Just built the motor on my EVO 8 with Nitto and GSC components. The motor is able to handle 35 psi. I also plan to run a BBK Full on 98 and E85 on dual maps.Anyone running a similar setup? If so what power and quarter mile time can I expect from 98 and E85? Would a Precision 6262 be suitable for street driving instead of a BBK Full? Posted the same question on jdmstyletuning forum. However, no input has been provided. Cheers, Simon Simon

Hey guyzzzzzzzzzzzz Was wanting some low end response from my evo, (to gain some better initial acceleration from a stop), was thinking of cosworth 264 camshafts and tomei valve springs... Initially i had planned on doing fuel pump and injector upgrade for an e85 tune, but thought of doing cams first so i can get more out of the tune. Ive also been told that ill get more response out of the car by switching to e85. Thinking whether to just dump the whole camshafts/valve springs idea and save a few pennies and just get the e85 tune, or to go for the camshafts as well. Anyone got any suggestions on how i go about this? Currently running 180awkw @21psi on 98 octane stock turbo tuned for response. Current mods: - turbo back exhaust - bigger intake pipe between maf and turbo - HKS panel - Tune I dont really plan on going hard out on the top end power, that would just be a bonus, im really keen for some good response and decent gains along the rev range(especially low to mid). Cheers (:

Hello all I am new here, I have a mitsubishi RVR Hyper Sports Gear R believed to have been owned by Xspeed and was one of their secret sports division halo cars, I have done some research on this and I am fairly if not completely certain that this car that I have was an iconic piece of motoring culture in Perth in the early 2000s - 2010s, unfortunately it has not remained the same after some years and a few owners later it has seen better days, performance parts have been added and removed, I am looking everywhere for photos and documents of this once iconic car and would love to restore it back to its hay day for all to enjoy it once again. Please I am asking for any help or if anyone knows anyone who might be able to help, thank you for your time. -

Okay so here's the scenario: cold starts: (first symptom) - When warming up the car i notice the temp gauge going up slowly, however when i turn my steering wheel, it dips back down to cold (only a minor movement, so i ignored it) Under heavy driving: (second symptom) - While cruising on 40ks per hour, i downshifted @ WOT to join the road, and noticed the temp gauge drop from its normal position (roughly around the middle) all the way to cold, then slowly started climbing back up again.... Starting to worry me now, i dont know if its a bad thermostat, lose connection, bad water pump or bad radiator...however if it was the radiator then i would of fried the motor a long time ago. I dont want to fry the gaskets if it is the water pump. Not too sure, anyone have any insight? The fluctuation usually happens when i push the car. Under normal driving it seems fine....for now, (although ive just noticed it today, yet to see if it acutally fluctuates while crusing) Note: just changed my radiator to a brand new one, old one cracked.

Got this weird boost cut thing thats been happening since last night, ran out of ideas, not sure what to do At WOT, i get the full 1.3-1.5 bars of boost, but once i hit 5-6k revs, the boost drops off completely, and the revs climbs slowly (basically like a n/a), If i shift before i hit 5000 revs, the boost is still good (roughly 1-.1.5 bars), however once i push it to 5000revs, all the boost just drops again, and the car barley accelerates. Once i shift, the car gets back onto boost till i hit 5000revs again. No clue why its happening ==; It happened around 15 minutes after i filled up, so thought maybe it might be a bad batch of fuel??? But then i thought, if thats the case it would be pinging as soon as i hit boost... Boost range: - 1st gear: 1 bar, then drops off at 5000revs to 0 (or below) - 2nd gear: 1.2 bars, then drops off at 5000 revs to 0 or below - 3rd gear WOT (from a 40kph pull) 1.5 bars till i hit 5000 revs then drops off again..... If its hitting high pressure of boost, i have no clue what the problem is anyone got any ideas? Things ive done: - Check MAF sensor cabling - Cleaned MAF sensor with maf sensor cleaner - Checked for boost leaks, tightened all clamps - Chucked in some octane booster - Unplugged battery to reset the ECU Things to note: - Spark plugs are 5000ks new - Evo is tuned for 98 octante fuel - Car runs 100% from 0-4900 revs - No knocking (cant hear anything) - Idle is still smooth - Car starts with ease Any help will be much appreciated

Tried asking on yahoo answers, but they were useless ==' My evo 7 turbo is a 9.0t turbo where as the evo 6, 8MR and 9 have 10.5Tturbos, so was thinking about upgrading from evo 7 to a evo 6 turbo. However im wondering what the difference between the evo 6 and evo 9 turbo would be? They are both the exact same in terms of specs, but i cant seem to find any detailed description online There must be a reason why mitsubishi used a 9.8t hotside on the evo 7/8 as oppose to the 10.5 found on the evo 6 rs? Evo 6 turbos are marginally cheaper than 8mr and 9 turbos too. Id ask on the evolutions forums, but they are so hard to navigate through, and most of them are from the US and dont own evo 6/7 since they were illegal over there. Cheers guys. -
Just wondering what the gap BETWEEN the grill (where the mitsubishi badgeis located) and intercooler are called on the evos 7, 8, 9, i want to buy a replacement piece for it but dont know what to ask for haha. I thought its called a front bumper air duct or air vent, but it doesnt seem to show up with what i want on google. Thanks in advance.

With the recent price rise in GT-R's and the dwindling supply of clean vehicles, will more people be turning the to Evo for a 4WD Japanese sports car? I believe prices have gone beyond the budget of the average punter, with the BNR32 into the 30-40k range, BCNR33 25k+, and I won't even mention R34's. This is expensive for what you get in terms of performance, reliability and parts attainability. Of course you can't go past the heritage, looks and presence of a GT-R, but there are certainly better value choices. Will people in the market for a GT-R begin turning to Evo's due to their lower price and (arguably) better performance? Will there be a knock-on effect in which Evo prices begin to rise too? As someone in their 20's and saving for a house, there's no way I could justify a GT-R anymore, but an Evo seems like a reasonable compromise. Ugly though

Can you daily an EVO? Pretty self explanatory, was thinking of getting one as just a daily. Anyone else here daily an EVO or are they better as a weekender/build car?

Over the top Yo anyone build or in the process of building an all out craze evo setup? Not talking bolt ons

The end of an era. Its a little bit sad, like when Nissan stopped making Silvias (Skylines are different, in one form or another, they continued.) I got this news from Motor Authority. The Final edition will not be based on the HKS built, 473HP concept they revealed last year. BBS, Bilstein, Eibach and Brembo handle the rolling and stopping. All of those words make me a little excited. Anyway .. the pics. So freaking nice. Opinions?

Just wondering if 250-300awkw will burn this clutch to bits. Im currently daily driving it but most of my evo friends are running twin plates or carbon ceramic at this power level so it got me a little worried that its going to start slipping. My clutch is still brand new

Where is creatd Does anyone know where this car is and who owns it?

Need help deciding. Evo 6 vs fully worked R34 GTT Hi guys! Geez its been a long time since ive logged on. Ill cut the long story short. I have the option of choosing a midnight blue evo 6 with a power fc, heavy duty clutch and all the necessary mods to make it around 200kw at the wheels. Very clean and looks great. The other option is a fully worked R34 GTT stroked to a 2.8. Big ass gtx turbo on it. Fully forged internals, GTR gear box. Its had about 40k of work done to it. 450hp at 13psi or 750hp at 19psi. If you guys were in my shoes, what would be the better car? If only the R34 was a GTR then obviously my mind would be made up lol -
Hello forum users, I posted this on the General Automotive Section as well. My current Evo 8 setup produces 260 awkw on a built 2L engine. My plan is to upgrade the turbo and the upgrade should produce around 370-380 awkw on E85. My question is whether the standard 6 speed gearbox would be able to tolerate the above mentioned power level? I have never launched the car and do not intend to in the future. Will the gearbox be able to cope with the power in normal everyday driving? My preference is not to convert to a 5 speed or a dogbox. Any advice would be appreciated.
