Horn bit of gear, but a 70k lancer will always make me giggle.

Get in a 9 with 250awkw and you'll be giggling alright

Considering it takes less than 5k to get to that point, pretty tasty :P

For 70k, they are a LOT of car if you can see past the plastic dash.

The X might not be that good though. See how it goes

I was hot for it. then it got delayed and delayed some more, then the price

went up (despite the aussie dollar strength) and now paying so much more

than they charged for the 9 to get an X seems silly. Especially when you can

pickup an evo 9 from a kid who has lost his license for less than 40k with

nothing on the odo and probably coilovers and a boost controller.

Or you can get an 8MR, which is faster out of the box, for 30k imported..

car magazine put the evo x against the new sti, and the sti won .. but then

it said the shame is they would both have lost against an evo 9, they have

both become too soft and lost their focus.

I will admit it does look alot tougher than i remember.

And i work for subaru....but if you put the Evo X (or in fact probably any evo) next to the new WRX/STI and it would scare the oil out of it.

oh and yeah definitely looks evil in black :whistling:

Yeah they are hard to beat bang for buck off the new car showroom floor.

Not to mention the added value of a free cardigan on puchase :)

I wish they'd re-bodied it so it's a bit more removed from the nana mobile, but that'd probably push it to a 90k car.

Then you have the advantage of a sleeper-stealth type style. I'm torn with evo's always have been.

A mate had an mhe 7 or was it a 6, one of the best drivers cars I've steered with out a doubt.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
