Well guys. as you may know i sold my skyline recently and bought my new toy. Well picked up an absolute bargain on my evo 7, car is absolutely unreal, I have no regrets at all about moving on lol (dont worry a R34gtr may be on the cards once they drop in price a bit). Car is straight from japan.

Well looks nice and clean and stock but....I could never get something stock..so heres my list that i know so far:

Hks turbo

hks pod

hks exhaust

hks f-con v pro ecu

sard 1000cc inj

sard fuel rail

surge tank

sparco fixed back drivers seat

Think project mu front rotors with some sort of race pads

And very very big suspicsion that it has forged internals

at the moment its running stock boost and needs a tune but still pulls harder than a 16yr old lol.

Bd4s and xspeed are the obly ones that can tune hks f-cn v pro in aus, cause its all in jap and the maps are locked from the info i can gather on the net...I know it seems a pain but from what i can tell the f-con v pro is the shit when its tuned

All we needed was an STI next to us and would've been the perfect 4wd/Awd threesome!! Looks good bud, just needs a tune and some bronze cr kais to fill out the gaurds and your done.

And then comes Porsche......... to eat you all up!! Like Classics yesterday, Sooooooo many Porsches, I wonder why......lol

Haha, well only plans are just to get a boost controller in it wind it up and get it tuned. Maybe some cr kais as ryan mentioned other than that theres nothing i want to do to it...

I mean cant really complain....brembos, recaro seats (drivers been chamged anyway), bilstein suspension, momo steering wheel all from factory and then all the goodies from japan on it, its actually more modified than i was planning to go if i bought a stock one..

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
