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

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
