#342845 EVO00X - Evolved AWD Coupe

Posted by Evo-00x on 15 March 2020 - 04:29 AM

Back with some latest pics. Tried running two AWD coupes at Sydney Jamboree yesterday but it rained all day. There was a break in the weather, they tried drying the track, but after just one practice run on wet surface it started raining again. Day cancelled. Oh well.... at least I got to find out I need to upgrade the clutch now. Some pics...

#334984 Evo 3 air conditioning compressor /lines

Posted by Evo-00x on 25 December 2016 - 12:14 AM

Well mine is a Gvr4 6 bolt block, and the aircon x-bracket that bolts to the block is evo 1-3. Aircon compressor is evo 1-3. Belt tensioner is Gvr4 because using a modified Gvr4 front engine mount (timing belt side), Aircon lines are half stock GSR (hardlines between aircon dryer and condensor) and the rest from the 4G63 Evo 1-3. Mine also uses evo 3 engine and interior looms so the aircon electrics just plugged straight in.


#331398 Shopping list

Posted by Evo-00x on 07 July 2016 - 09:44 PM

You wouldnt need to stroke it to make that power. I've done it with the 2L and GTX3076R, Kelford TX272's and 1200cc injectors (could have done it with 1000cc but didnt have an on hand at the time) and made 450hp atw at 28psi on 98 octane fuel. No E85 or stroker needed, so there's room for improvement. Yes, definitely get the valve springs with high lift cams, actually get them anyway. Our cars are 20+ years old and the springs are tired and less llikely to float when you start putting the boost and rpm in it. 

See my signature the last time I touched my car a couple years ago.

#329804 AMEP stance on Vehicle Exhaust Noise and Emissions Amendments

Posted by Evo-00x on 08 May 2016 - 05:33 AM

join%20now.jpg

 

The Australian Motoring Enthusiast Party (AMEP) stance on vehicle exhaust noise and emissions amendments.

I am honoured to be part of the AMEP team and to have my contribution toward AMEP's stance on vehicle exhaust noise and emissions published on their website. I had written much more than this, especially in regards to vehicle emissions testing using the IM240 and EPA tests for engineering approvals, but that strategy may have more weight once we are in and demand a change of the current legislation. Yes, we do have teams of dedicated volunteers fighting for our rights behind the scenes. Members also have their say in group discussions and new legislations tabled not only toward vehicles, but the economy and regular political affairs also.  

Guys, please read this article and think about your vote this coming election.

Vote AMEP Senator Ricky Muir as your number 1 choice below the line in the upcoming Senate election and be sure to put the Greens and Liberals last!!!.

Please as a favour to me (Rob) and yourselves and fellow enthusiasts, please read an extract of what I have been fighting for us for years in these links.

Those with the XForce Varex exhaust systems take note - We are fighting to have the laws amended and legalise the use of variable exhaust valve technology for use on our cars!!!

Emissions / Exhaust Technologies

In a Nutshell… 

Older performance vehicles are expected to make less exhaust noise than many newer and ‘Greener’ performance vehicles. If an older vehicle isn’t on the 'DOTARS 83/00 Stationary Noise “Signature” Supplementary Data Spreadsheet”,which was introduced in the year 2005, it is subjected to a blanket 96db maximum stationary exhaust noise limit for pre January 1983 vehicles and 90db limit for post January 1983 vehicles as per Schedule 1 of the Regulation.

What you will find is that many newer performance vehicles manufactured from 2005+ identified in the Spreadsheet produce in excess of 90db (some over 100db), plus they are allowed an additional 5db grace to account for wear and tear of their exhaust systems.

However in service performance vehicles manufactured between 1983-2004 are expected to adhere to a maximum 90db limit and are not allowed an additional 5db compensation for wear and tear of their exhaust systems. Real world results would indicate that the majority of performance vehicles driven on our roads today that were manufactured within this time period would be producing in excess of 90db with their standard exhaust systems still in place. As the availability of original manufacturer parts becomes less likely the older a vehicle becomes, there is no alternative other than to turn to the aftermarket industry to supply replacement parts for alternative exhaust systems.

It is a matter of equality for starters, but also a matter of common sense and having a reasonable and achievable limit in place for older performance cars rather than having them subjected to deliberate DECC/EPA/POLICE targeting for fitment of non-standard exhaust systems or excessive noise, whilst Mr Exotic gets to drive by in his fancy new car producing more noise without the authorities even batting an eyelid.

Secondly, there is technology out there now that can help quieten down exhaust noise levels for every car on our roads, but the current Regulation forbids the use of them.

Where has the comprehension of common sense gone?

 

OUR AIM: To have the Regulations amended to allow an additional 5db grace for exhaust noise to cater for older vehicle exhaust system wear and tear and the unavailability of factory exhaust systems.   

 

 

Exhaust Technologies...
According to the EPA, you cannot temporarily modify a vehicle’s exhaust noise or induction noise level output unless the device has been fitted by the manufacturer. Why is there no provision for older vehicles to utilise the same technology provided they can get approval? 

This is again bias toward newer model vehicles having access to noise control devices to temporarily lower the exhaust noise level output, but forbids the use of such technology to be used on any other vehicle.

A couple of examples of Australian made vehicles where temporary exhaust noise level devices were used in production in recent years are the HSV Holden Commodore VE “W427 model”, and believe it or not, the brand new 2016 Holden Commodore VFII Ute on the showroom floor today, which is advertised on Holden’s page with the quote: “Unleash the heightened aural potential to allow maximum exhilaration”.

The BiModal exhaust has been tuned to provide a balance between a sporty V8 soundtrack and a refined note. The system can also be switched to a non-active mode through the infotainment system!:” To add insult to injury, it also has an induction noise modification called the quote: Mechanical Sound Enhancer (MSE)~ The MSE enhances induction noise and supplies targeted frequencies into the cabin. The MSE operates in conjunction with the BiModal exhaust to provide a balance between exhaust and induction sound character.

Here is a video of the bimodal exhaust system in action. You can hear how this gentleman revs the engine and the exhaust note is quiet. Then you will hear it again and the exhaust note is louder and deeper. That's the bimodal exhaust in action.

HOLDEN HSV W427 VIDEO

Listen at 3mins 20sec of video to hear about its bi-modal quiet/loud exhaust system.

https://youtu.be/dgMJzviOxi4

And the new VFII Ute which also uses a Bimodal exhaust system - clearly advertised on Holdens website right now.

http://m.holden.com....m_source=google

 

Where is the common sense in current legislation in not allowing older performance vehicles access to utilise the same newer technologies, today?

 

OUR AIM: To have the Protection of the Environment Operations (NOISE CONTROL) Regulation 2008, clause 18, amended to allow the use of current technology and temporary exhaust noise control equipment to be fitted to ALL cars, regardless if the device was installed as original equipment by the manufacturer or not! The technology has been out there for years, let's make it available to everybody!!!

#329394 Why does the RVR roof get rust so easy?

Posted by Evo-00x on 25 April 2016 - 06:30 AM

Everything from CC Lancers, RVR's, FTO's, CE Lancers, UF Nimbus etc got the roof rust issue.

The recalls were kept on the quiet.

The glue was in use from 1993 to 1998. Same thing happens to Proton M21 coupes which were made til the year 2000.

The problem is, it rusts under your headlining. By the time you see it bubble on the top of your roof it is already too late.

Remove your headlining and prepared to say FUCK YOU MITSUBISHI!!! :fuuuuu:  

If it hasn't happened yet, it will happen. Heat, condensation, condensation from the interior light on cold mornings etc creates moisture. On the underside of our headlinings we have a spongey foam that absorbs water and stays soaking wet forever which also doesnt help. The glue used was shit and had some kind of chemical reaction to it which corroded the metal too.

It was a BIG Mitsubishi fuck up.

My advice to anybody who hasn't got roof rust yet is to check it out anyway sooner rather than later. Its a bit of a delicate operation so as not to deform your headlining when removing it. Get inside there and check. Then spray the hell out of it with Tectyl spray. Inside all the holes in the ribbings, where the front and rear windscreens are, everywhere. Make sure you have a plastic sheet or tarp underneath to protect your interior from any drips. It's going to smell for months but it's worth it in the long run.

My white 1993 GL CC Lancer coupe doesnt have roof rust, but then again its lived most of its life inside a garage. A few years ago I didn't take any chances so I got up under there and painted it with fuel tank sealer paint first to create a hard glass-like sealant, then tectyled the hell out of it. It looks like shit but you wont ever see it again [hopefully].

#329137 THE NIMBUS

Posted by Evo-00x on 14 April 2016 - 01:40 PM

Good stuff.... but that turbo is way too small for the 4G64. You need bigger.

The stock OEM TD04 and TD05's were phucked for cracking turbine housings. A lot of guys just ended up buying the GTP Pumps turbine housing to replace the OEM units. They are heaps better. Link here: http://www.gtpumps.c...e_housings.html

Also if you are using an EVO turbo manifold, the TD04 would have a smaller hole in the turbine housing where it mates to the turbo manifold.

Keep the REBORN 20G and use it with a GT Pumps turbine housing. That's what I'ld do :thumbsup:

#328858 Reverse pops out - have my gearbox open right now

Posted by Evo-00x on 01 April 2016 - 09:22 AM

* Yes, all your Mitsubishi part numbers listed above are correct as I just double checked them.

* Yes, the spring you can see through the keyholes on the underside is the 5th gear spring. So now that I can see the pic in IMGUR, you should install your new REVERSE spring with the notch at the keyhole in the 8 o'clock position and run it past the 6 o'clock position to end at the 1 o'clock position. Basically you are making the Reverse spring run in the opposite direction to the 5th spring.

 

EDIT: I've just made it easier for you to understand using your picture. Install the reverse spring as per the green line in this pic.

#328236 New intercooler set up

Posted by Evo-00x on 05 March 2016 - 03:05 AM

Here's some pics to look at.

As air gets cooler it slows down anyway so there will always be a pressure drop regardless of what intercooler you use, but the amount of pressure drop makes a difference. 2psi pressure drop is the usual acceptable amount for intercoolers. But intercooler design can make it much worse.

Then we have temperature drops. Ultimately you would want an intercooler that can get air through the entire core with minimum turbulence. See the first and 2nd pic with turbulent square end tanks = no good.

With big ass intercoolers as in pic 3 with the inlet and outlet on the bottom or say about 1/3 of the way up the intercooler, the thermal imaging pic shows that air basically only moves across the bottom half of the intercooler with the area above it basically acting as a heatsoak and dead weight for most of the time.

The tapered design works well - much like the intercooler SWTGSR is using in pic 4.

With the bigger intercoolers you can have a splitter/ baffle made in the end tank which helps split the air and redirect some of it upwards into the upper cores as seen in pics 5 and 6.  

Intercooler design is best left to the professionals who do R&D and test the results. Anything from entry and exit angle to end tank design or staggered cores etc all plays a part in the balance between cooling and pressure drop for whatever intended use of the vehicle.

#328229 New intercooler set up

Posted by Evo-00x on 04 March 2016 - 04:10 PM

It looks smaller than the OEM EVO icoola but the core on this new one appears much thicker, so it will cool quite well.

I like my icoolas to fill up the entire hole in the front bar, but that's just me lol :w00t:
