Just got home from a long run through the night. Silly bastared left the keys in plain sight :laugh:

The thing is meant to be running std boost....but the gauge reads 1.5bar !!!! Is that std boost for an EVO? No wonder they go do bloody well, thats a lot of bosot for a std car

.... PS, i did go for a drive, but didnt take it without his permission. Im no low mongrel. But that is the boost it runs. And it is so very nice and tight to drive....seats, gearbox, clutch, all feels great

VERY nice james... Advan RS's are THE rims to get for an EVO 8 or 9.

So tempting... i was going to buy a GTR next year but decided i would save a little more and wait for the EVO X to come out... ive always loved the EVOs... I want one now.

Standard boost is around 1.1/1.2 bar

Kam - I stopped at the BP in Albury at about 7am, figured you'd still be snoozing

Matt - Yep, will be getting my backside trackside next year - and of course at DECA

Greg - yeah, he may not be as hard-corey assassin styles as THE Golgo, but I'll have the plates on there lickety split. Must maintain the illusion that I'm cool :)

Mav - not only a working heater, but aircon too. Woo!

Akeenan - OK, totally different machine to the R. Feels 'zippy' rather than powerful. Is definitely quick, but doesn't have that endless power sense you get in the Skyline. However, it basically has it's power whenever you want it, and certainly feels much more nimble and chuckable. Plus - it's practical. 4-doors, big boot, easy in traffic... In the garage next to the R32, it really makes the Skyline look like a low slung sports car. Is longer than the R32 - and in reality, quite big. Plenty of room for me to sit in the back, and I'm no Leewah.

Is more a 'practical' GT-R alternative, rather than a competitor. Is still fast and fun - but in a different way. GT-R is still the king of the track, but for a daily driver... Evo FTW.

Re: Boost.

I'll have to check for vacuum line mods, as there is no EBC and it's on the stock ECU. Has DEFI boost guage (sweeeet) that reads 1.5bar with the hammer down. Due to the different turbo setup on the MR, is factory boost different? Will have to do some learning...

Are you sure the turbo is different on the MR?

I was under the impression the MR is just the lightweight RS version, with all the goodies from the GSR..?

If they've bypassed the stock boost solenoid, it would be running off the actuator, which might be 1.5bar

You should check it out first, but the stock 560cc injectors should be able to handle 1.5bar fine

I know the turbo outlet on the MR is different to the GSR. It also gets a different exhaust, aluminium roof, oil cooler, swanky suede seats etc

This from Mitsu press release:

The well-proven 2-liter in-line 4-cylinder 16-valve DOHC intercooler-turbocharged 4G63 engine has undergone detail improvements. The power unit retains Lancer Evolution's trademark flat torque band that kicks in from low engine speeds but now generates gutsier torque in the mid- to high-rev band.

The turbocharger uses a larger turbine nozzle with matching cam profile to deliver higher output at mid- to high engine speeds.

The turbocharger waste gate now uses two solenoids. This optimizes boost pressure control to give more stable torque in the low to mid-range and helps the powerplant to generate class-topping torque of 40.8kg-m (400N-m) at 3,500 rpm.

Durability is improved through shape optimization and reinforcement of the cooling water channels, uprating from a 3-ply to 5-ply head gasket and the use of magnetic ion-coated piston rings.

Engine response is improved with the use of lighter silent shafts. Cooling performance is improved with the use of a larger oil cooler that features two extra rows.

Evolution 8

Turbo = TD05HR-16G6-9.8T (GSR / USDM E8)

TD05HRA-16G6-9.8T (RS/RS2)

Nozzle Area (cm2) = 9.8

Turbine = USDM EVO 8 & JDM GSR =Inconel (steel alloy),

RS/Rs2=Titanium alloy.

Compressor = Aluminium, 68mm wide

Evolution MR aka "8.5"

GSR = TD05HR-16G6-10.5T or TD05HRA-16G6-10.5T (Ti Alloy option)

RS = 6MT:TD05HRA-16G6-10.5T or 5MT:TD05HRA-16G6-9.8T

Nozzle Area (cm2) = 10.5 or 9.8(RS-5speed)

Compressor = Aluminium, 68mm wide

All Evo 4-8 Turbos are twin scroll designs meaning that the engines exhaust is divided into two channels (see first pic). As the engine exhausts in pulses.. its supposed to result in quicker spooling. From the Evo 4 onwards, the Turbo spins in the opposite direction, i.e. Anticlockwise (hence the R in the turbo name). The Titanium Alumnide alloy used in the RS/RS2 and some GSRS (factory option) has less inertia and thus spins up around 500 rpm sooner. These Titanium turbos can be indentified by the A in their name.

James kisses boys and drives a Lancer.

Looks pretty sweet, We will see just how good it looks on the track with tyre smoke ripping off the guards and you driving it like you wanna break it!

Really needs the rims.

You suck

    • ...just a note of warning, you shouldn't drive it about with the TCU in limp mode with only 3rd gear available ~ apart from the fact you end up sheering the ATF at the torque converter interface, the high clutch in these isn't especially the strongest, particularly bolted to the RB25DE mill...which is likely a 4AX01 box with lighter duty high clutch (the RB25DET got the bigger high clutch)...be careful out there...
    • Hoping to do similar mods to my RB20 once I get it running and reliable again
    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
