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....?

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
