Car: 05 Evo VIII GSR with AYC and ACD
Purpose : Run mid 9 Secs or better and run low-mid 4 Secs in 60-130mph
Power Goal : Non, I don't want to build a dyno queen

Originally I wanted to build 2.4LR but plans are changed and now I am building a 2.0LR.

I want to keep the Brembo's but I can't find a slick which fit under 16" rim with a diameter 24 - 25" slicks which will work with my 4.11 trans...

I want to thank following guys;

JON @ TRE
MARK @ PST
BURD @ MAPerformance
ADAM @ MAPerformance

For their help and support..

 

solid build, when will it hit the track?

 

I am not in a rush, If everything went as expected;

I guess I will run this setup by the end of 5th month and after I run the car I want to build a GPS data logger with a dash and I will raise the boost to 26-30psi step by step, I guess I will boost nearly 30psi by the end of the 8th month but until I have a spare shortblock I am not in favor to boost over 30psi...

 

Great part combination. Should make for one mean evo! Post some pics when you have a chance.

 

The amount of high horsepower Evo's being built in the last year is crazy. Its so common place to see people building monsters.

Good luck. Should be fun

 

Updates----

TRE have all the cores right know Jon will start them within a week or so...

PST completed the CF driveshaft, it is a work of art...

I also purchased a Norris Design Dry Sump unit today, these are sold out quickly, if you need any contact them instantly.

Car is in the shop right know, we removed all the harness, engine, drivetrain parts, I guess custom turbo kit will be complete within a month...

 

Sick good luck on your run

 

I'm considering build options right now, but this definitely provides a good reference point! Awesome, thanks for sharing!

 

I no some people run stock rims with Hoosiers. I believe they work pretty well.

 

hey OP,

Im building a 2.0LR as we speak .. i was looking at the 10.5 HD 1400's as well but i didnt see them as a stroker option. did you have wiseco custom make you some?

 

how do you have AYC on an US Evo?? Btw sick set up you go there.

 

Any pictures of the carbon driveshaft?

 

Yes these are custom Wiseco pistons, but keep in mind that if you want them coated, you need to specify that in the ordering process because they do not come coated like the shelf HD1400s...

I have better coating and treatment route in my mind so I ordered these without any coating...

Good luck with your build

This car is Euro spec and not located at USA right now.

Thanks

After I receive trans - tcase and differential from TRE, I will start to work on the drivetrain and I am planning to write a review on the driveshaft, I will also post detailed pictures of it that time...

 

cool deal thanks man .. good luck with the car man .. cant wait to tear it up my self with the LR

 

i just got one of these from mark as well.can't believe how light it is.
