After driving Aarons stock example today I realized the Stagea will never be as good on the track, plus this cost me less than a manual conversion.

Aaron's jelly, I bought mine for $7k and he had to haggle the guy down to 18 grand. I won't be selling either car, I just found my new track hack. :whistling:

Definitely a better choice than tracking the bus Scotty; keep it for high speed grocery and school runs!

FYI, I can also get Emo suspension parts... ;)

Fkn photoshop show off Dunc :P

Nah, I don't hate em either. They have a place. That place is racetrack and rally. Not stanced out in car parks with posers. And as Dale said, on the streets they look fairly ridiculous.

Everything works there, and it's a quality tool. Can't wait to see what you do with it Scotty.

I actually don't hate them at all; responsive, punchy package, and with some simple mods, they'll crush almost anything under 100k.

My mates Emo 9 has an exhaust, filter, hard pipe kit, and a walbro pump; 250awkw. It's like an angry dog, straining at the leash; just waiting to be set loose.

Less than 3k in mods INCLUDING the tune; it's gotta be good for a low 12/high 11.

The problem lies in the tens of thousands of P platers driving kitted stocker NA Lancers, and the fact that every douche in a Crummydore wants to run you; even in the Maccas drive thru.

Driving an Evo is the automotive equivalent of running through street holding a massive red dildo above your head, yelling "LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!" People are looking, but for all the wrong reasons.

I hate the rear wing, and the fact that EVERYONE knows what it is. They beg to be driven hard, but if you do; everyone thinks you're a wanker.

I much prefer to tread softly, and carry a big stick.

This - all of it!

ESPECIALLY that last line. :D

i agree, im definitely not taking this down the 'hardpark' direction..

its all useless, the amount i had to do to the 200 to get it controllable again was rediculous.

I have again predicted where your car will be Aaron.

Bow down at my amazing photoshop abilities.

I can almost smell the desperation! It's just being there...

You has mad skills brah.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
