Mabye i'm mistaken, but on buschrs site they say the down pipe retains the factory braces.

In the new issue of Sport Compact Car, they said your down pipe requires the purchace of a new brace (with a bend in it that compramises regidity)

 

A. the braces aren't very nessecary at all.

B. RnR and RMR are different company's.

C. once you upgrade turbos, the brace work isgone for sure eitheir way.

 

Buschur uses a spacer kit and that is how it retains the stock braces.


Our downpipe is the same way. It uses spacer to lower the brace.

 

Sorry, i didn't realize you were a diffrent co. from the one in SCC. I didn't catch the spelling difrence. Still wating on that pm. Thanks, jay

 

Buschur's downpipe that is being sold currently does not need a spacer for 99% of cars. I've got one and I've got about 1/4" of clearance. If you do some looking you'll find a post David made about "quietly" redesigning his downpipe (eliminating a weld) and now the spacers are rarely needed.

 

Ok, just pop you hood, and bolt on a DSM 20G, do it right now with no other modifications.



WHOOPS


or, get a custom manifold, Down Pipe, Swap the intake and MAKE ROOM for it to fit on the other side, then yeah, it'll bolt on, so will it to any other car you do that too.



I think he was asking if you just pop the hood and bolt the sucker in, like te DSM world accepts 14-16-20G's and so on, this stocke evo will not.

 

Here is a pic of the manifold you would use for that turbo. The pic of the manifold has been coated yet. So it will look a lot cleaner and nicer. Just a reference for you to see.


Retail $595 w/Jet hot coating

 

what kind of wastegate is that manifold setup to use? Do you have an o2 husing as well that word work for the AGP L2R?

 

We could make an 02 housing, but we currently haven't done one. Or we could supply you the flange and have a muffler shop do it locally. You will need the whole downpipe.

 

I already have a SS 2 1/2 " o/2 housing on it, set up for GVR4's. So are you saying i should just get a custom DP built off of that, because no one makes a DP/ o2 housing for my setup?

 

Ya, that is exactly what I am saying. Since no one makes a downpipe for that yet it would be best to have a custom one made.

 

To answer your question. A 1990-1999 DSM turbo will NOT bolt onto your '03 EVO8.

Can you install one of these turbos on the car? Sure, it does require a different exhaust manifold and a custom 02 housing, water and oil lines.

Our turbo kit that we are STILL waiting on will use these style turbos. The reason for this is there is no sense in going with anything new with the power and reliability we have worked so hard to get out of these turbos over the years.

I did talk with the CNC shop yesterday and they said the first two manifolds will be done next week. Finally.
