my personal oppinion. mitsubishi cars can never be like nissan for street and circuit racing purpose. but the evo 7 would be the same as a evo 8 just a few updated body parts and bolt on things.

the GTR series looks better then evo 8. im saying R32 GTR looks better thena evo 8 . and they are also faster. i saw one doing 1.08 around wakefield with a normal driver.

my personal oppinion. mitsubishi cars can never be like nissan for street and circuit racing purpose.

are you implying that nissan have the best street and circuit car in the world?

if thats the case, why is the JUN Hyper Lemon EVO 5 the quickest around Tsukaba circuit in Japan where all the manufacturers bench mark their cars?

but the evo 7 would be the same as a evo 8 just a few updated body parts and bolt on things.

please elaborate....do you have facts that they are practically the same?

the GTR series looks better then evo 8

yes, thankyou for your opinion.

im saying R32 GTR looks better thena  evo 8
.

as above.

and they are also faster. i saw one doing 1.08 around wakefield with a normal driver.

stock r32 gtr? *STOCK* r32 gtr? is that so? official time or off your watch? who was the driver? was it on slicks? semi slicks? road tyres?

i thought the mines r34 is the fastest around tskuba ? . hmm i still say evo 5 is the best evo out :P . yes the GTR R32 just had filters and 15psi

what does a gtr run stock boost? about 7-8psi? so your talking about a gtr with almost double the boost vs a STOCK Evo8 still?

according to JUN website..."...Lap time was 0'55''976..."

besides that car :P.

the EVo 7 from HkS and kensai is extremely fast. the mines car does 56 around tsukuba. but im not sure about JUN evo 5.  the times are way off on that grid

That list is not... "correct"...

This car is KING:

The CYBER EVO Lancer Evolution 7 driven by Eiji Yamada...

Sick...

yup. i totally agree. they will be a cult car aimed at the pure enthusiast wanting more or something different to an my03 sti.

didnt the evo6.5 retail in australia for like 80-85K?

from what they wrote in the latest Motor (?? i think it was Motor) - they overpriced them, and had to drop the price to sell the last of them...that's why they are pricing these ones to be competitive with the STI's (apparently!)

It makes sense that Mistu will sell the EVO8 for the same price as an STI. The 6.5 wasn't exactly selling like hot cakes and took Mitsu a while to get rid of them. I'm sure anyone wouldn't want to repeat the mistake Nissan made with the GTR.

I think people really underestimate the EVO8. About 80% of max torque occurs at 2500rpm! No way the RB26 does this stock. Not to mention the 380?mm disc brakes. That's massive for a car that light. The R34 GTR is heavier and has 355mm discs (I think? No bigger though). In theory, the EVO should out brake the R34.

I know we all love our lines' but when the head starts thinking, you can't beat the EVO8.

nope they had to give the suckers away after they priced them around there

they are a quick car but shit there ugly

but if they do sell them for 55k i dont think you will c anymore sti's selling

I thought the reason they didn't sell was because they released the EVO 6 here the same month the EVO7 was released in Japan. I know I certainly wouldn't be buying an old model when they've just released a new one. My opinion - they had excess stock and as Mitsu Aus had been asking for the Evo for quite some time, they thought it would be a good dumping ground for the old models.

i think its all very speculative, but you have a very valid point.

in either case, if they sold at 55k to rival the sti then thats a great benefit for everyone as i still think an enthusiast would pay over and above that for an evo8.

are the brembo's on the evo8 4pot? because the bnr34 brembo's are 6 pot remember....?

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
