Does TUF mean Techsports?

If not Techsports is where I'd be going if I had an EVO. Otherwise - Nige has done a few EVO's too. He had a black EVO V that was used in the back drop for his HPI article that I got to drive. It was a sweet ride indeed.

Good day

Just wondering if anyone have heard of or know a good EVO mechanic beside Jeff@TUF?

Thanks

RE Customs is the place to go. They have recently worked on a nice EVO 8 and a brand new Evo 9 with motec, exhuast, plenum etc......

Plus they have 4 wheel dyno.

Depends on what you want done i suppose. But Techsport would be on the top of the list, and for what its worth Melbourne Performance Centre built a pretty tough EVO that is for sale at the moment, so they must know a thing or two about them...

Nothing wrong with Jeff@Techsport, its that this EVO VI is standard yet engine light kept flashing every now and then. Jeff just dont' have the AWD dyno and diagnostic tool yet and my mate panic the shit out.

I personally think it's just a faulty sensor somewhere.

engine light is a very simple problem.....You can link out the OBD terminal and it will tell you whats wrong....so easy to do khoa...it will be the same OBD connector as the FTO or normal Lancer's

Or speak to ylwgtr2

Chasers Motorworks; was passing by C&D when they brought a white one down for a tune; 230kW on the first pull was what the bloke with the pink hair said, and that was on the thing' first pull.

My 2c. There is a difference between ppl that can tune cars, mechanics, and places that have experience on certain cars. Just because they had a car on a dyno...well i would need more convincing. Not sayign they are good or bad, but ... >_<

      @Butters I can't tell you why but the bigger HKS step 2 cams improved low and mid end immensely. Turbos started spooling about 1k RPM less than before and the idle/vacuum was rock solid, it was an absolute thrill to drive, 3rd gear pulls hit 180kmh where previously only managed 160. Conversely, the milder poncoms in there now have a funky idle making it harder to get off the line, drives poorly in lower revs, laggy and makes less power/torque throughout. Feels better after I swapped the EBC but unless I put it on the Dyno again, I can't say how much better.

      Cams are not needed at this power level, they will create lag. The cam gears are a good idea though.

      @Murray_Calavera yeah, I guessed as much, cooler temps, more boost, less knock, more timing, hello power. Unfortunately not quite within reach ATM, could upgrade my whole fuel system to support but still wouldn't have E85 to run it 😂  Anyway, I changed cams again, 260/260 poncam B and everything else the same except an EBC upgrade. Now I must say I was quite disappointed with the result as it was like running stock cams (didn't try to dial them in as they're supposed to be optimum already) but after awhile I suspected my new EBC was underperforming not to mention difficult to use. I recently swapped back my old EBC and it drives much better now, boost comes on sooner, more stable, no spikes etc, feels all quicker and faster than with stock cams. Planning to fiddle with the cam gears and see what happens but maybe skip the Dyno as I intend to revert to the HKS cams cos they really made the car come alive; low and mid end was unbelievable and it just wanted to rev to the moon, finally knew what people were raving about, RB26 really loves revs. Anyway, Dyno 03 is quite disappointing, in Dyno 02 although peak power was less and trailed off at the top, the low and mid end improvement more than made up for it.

      @Darrel It's so tempting to say e85 is borderline magic. It cools the intake charge, so if you're flirting with the edge of the turbos compressor map it helps dramatically cool down the hot air the turbos are pumping. It is very resistant to detonation so you can crank the timing, I don't really want to say you won't be knock limited anymore.... but you probably wont be knock limited anymore lol. I wouldn't be surprised if you made 20% more power swapping to e85 (provided you have the fuel system to support them, bigger injectors maybe bigger pump etc).
