[Vr4perth]

Hey people 3 mouths ago I had a custom
Manifold built so I could run an evo 8 turbo on my
Vr4 wasn't sur how it was going to
Work or if it
Would work!! But turns out it works!
Full boost early strong run all the way thru the rev range
And very little lag will post some
Photos when
I finger out how -_-

Thanks mate yea was a tricky turbo to mount but
Runs well
Jdmautomotive in Perth wa
Built the set up so
I can't take credit for the work
But yes the owner Chris is very gifted

looks good, been running an Evo7 turbo for bout 4 years now on my galant, you can get rid of the lag by changing your rear end from 10.5 to 9.8 housings...

Kool so I'm not the only one!! was told I was stupid
For doing it and should have just went the
Normal 16g but Then had a drive of a friends
Evo8mr fully stock with pod filter and 19psi and it
Fucking flue like the wind with little lag hence why I
Did use the 8 turbo.


But have been told I will struggle to see decent hp
Readings when tuen time comes

you should get closet to 200kw with ease with the 10.5 rear end, add cams and injectors and you should get more (pending if the engine will handle it)

my old set up..

Do yolu have pics of the Evo 8 coil over sparks?

 

[Vr4perth]

Engine is out ATM and head
In the shop will post photos soon

 

[syco_rvr]

what the hell are coil over sparks??
also how big are the gains of cams?? coz i was hoping to hit around 400hp with a similar setup but with a t3t4,

Another more common name is Coil On Plug...it just means there is an individual coil pack on top of each spark plug which eliminates the spark plug leads.

Looks like these...

Looks like these...

Hey mate do u have a supply for polished alloy coil holder looks net!!

 

[syco_rvr]

so these are really just to eliminate any chance of the leads earthing out? or do they have a performance benifit too??
also how hard are they to wire in??

cheers

No lead = less resistance between the coil and the spark and therefore a better spark.With a better spark you will get a few benefits like a better idle, better fuel efficiency, and the ability to run more boost. Check out extreme psi for a coil on plug setup for dsm. I think they come with instructions etc. they do sell a plug and play arrangement or a cdi setup the later of the two prob being better but more expensive. Ask Rob (Evo 00X) or caged. They both run ls1 coils I think and could give u some advice


cheers
