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.

My stock evo7 had a 10.5 with twin wastegate pucks, not the single. Many people have told me it should be the .9, perhaps it was swapped at some stage.

Personally I wouldn't bother, the gains wouldn't be worth the effort unless you were putting the Ti one in for response, or perhaps a highflow/aftermarket new one.

Yea evo 7s came in 9.8t, definitely been changed in your car.
Theres a number of reasons, one of them being i have a lot of shaft play and a damaged compressor wheel, and the second reason is apparently the 10.5t spools 300rpms earlier as well as giving a stronger top end, good until 250awkw.
Hence why i was looking at the 10.5ts. I came across an evo 6 turbo which was 10.5t, very keen on buying it but not sure if they are equal to an evo 9 or evo8MR 10.5t, or if its just the exact same.

The 9 turbo is the biggest of them I made 312kw on the stock 9 turbo on E85 full boost in around 3300 but signed off around 6500. Epic on the street though as response is almost instant wasn't much around that I wouldn't instantly jump a car or 2 on when having a bit of a squirt.

Hmm I see, evo 6 turbos are dirt cheap so i just wanted to make sure. So the evo 6 turbo will be prone to loosing boost up top due to having 2 wastegate pucks?

Found that one, reckon its any good? anything is better than my current turbo at this stage :P

Wow thats some beefy figures. Yea mines currently tuned on 98, pushing only 180awkw :( It should be pushing 200~220 but the turbo solenoid is soft and the compressor wheel is missing chunks. Also a thick gap between compressor housing and the wheel. Not a good sign. Tuner said that its either been boosted prior to me purchasing the car, or, the more likely scenario, a rock went through the compressor wheel.

Mivec must help a lot with throttle response aye?

The early twin puck design leads to one not sealing when it heats up apparently. It will still work fine though.

At least a turbo swap is easy, otherwise I would say don't bother with a second hand one. ;)

#@scotty nm35

haha yea im not too keen on second hand turbos either, but new ones are sooo expensive haha. New tomei turbo with equal spool time as an oem 9 and better mid/top end boost pressure is 1.6k. Evo 9 turbos are hard to find, let alone too expensive :(

I got an Evo 9 turbo with less than 60K on it. It made way for an FP green :woot:

Don't believe the Tomei claims!

Good friend of mine has 1 on his Evo 9 it probably would spool near stock 9 turbo but the problem is they surge their tits off down low unfortunately :unsure:

I got my green when they were on special so saved a few bucks!

The tomei seems to go alright it seems..

Dunno if I wanna sell my turbo to be honest mate but if you made me a good offer id consider it. Also have an FP 18psi actuator to go onto it :cheers:

Oh nice, yea heard good things about that turbo,
Now that i think about it, Tomei seems cheaper than the rest of the aftermarkets (good aftermarket turbos anyway)

no worries man, no pressure :) Ill inbox ya when ready, ive confirmed that the evo 9 turbo is considered an "upgrade" even for evo 6s running the 10.5s on a evo forum, so must be a pretty damn good turbo. im planning on getting a higher flowing fuel pump as well, wouldnt want to lean out haha. Was thinking of doing the timing belt too, no clue when that was changed :/

You'll be pulling that paper weight back off in no time if you bolt it to your head. Farken junk manifolds they are. Both in EVO's and GTR's. They should come with cracks out of the box... It would save you the trouble of pulling it off later.

damn, thats no good, factory manifolds ftw haha. Im not at the stage of making 500whp so i dont think a manifold is necessary at this stage. But still, i thought tomei had their shit together :/

Slightly off topic, but would you evo'ers like a subforum? Definitely don't want other evo'ers thinking they're unwelcome and theres a fair swag of evo owners now on here anyway.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
