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 an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
