Hi mate,

Evo 8 block is a better base to work on than Evo 7 if we are chasing big power.

It's because the 8 has upgraded rods than 6.5 and 7.

Just let me know if you're keen to buy the car, few guys are trying to gather up some cash to get the car.

But no one has full cash ready to go as yet.

Cheers

so engine hasnt been cracked open...?

and how many kms has the evo 8 engine done and car done...?

What are you planing to buy??

A small car that I can share with the mrs.

Maybe SLK, Z4, Boxster, Cayman.

Will be much slower than the evo, but at least I keep her happy

Of course, the WHOLE bottom block is replaced with EVO8 block, which has done about 60k kms.

I use all brand new parts (headgasket, head studs, etc) so it's a much better build than factory. Nice and fresh ready for big power.

The top end has also been modified, 272 BC cams, camgears, etc.

The car itself has done 78k in total.

When I build cars, I build it seriously, no point saving out a little money if it will cause trouble in the future.

Gerald.

Well said mate.. If only you wanted an sti.. I would swap instantly haha.. GL with the sale mate..

Hey there,

Just curious but what sort of power is this thing putting out? I've been in mildly modified Evo's before and they were fast enough. I can't imagine what sort of acceleration this thing has.

Either way, nice car. I'll send a link to a mate of mine who loves Evo's and has too much cash from working the mines.

Thanks mate.

It's putting 240awkw on 98 pump fuel, which is a lot for an evo.

Response is great, more than what I need.

Thanks again for passing the link.

I hope it goes to a good home, so many offers but people just have no cash to buy it.

Nice Car...... It is exactly what i need for whizzing around the hills..... How many kw at the wheels?? and what boost is the current tune on?

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
