Update 3
Project EVO IX Update 12/21/05
We had time to swing by SP Engineering today after work and we were able to snap these pictures. Many thanks to the genius mad scientist Hiro who is doing all the nitty gritty work.
Here we have the turbo mounted and the wastegate on. We haven't bolted everything down just yet, we're doing some test fitting. What isn't pictured here is that we have welded the wastegate reroute up on the downpipe elbow. Also, we have installed the HKS Metal Headgasket installed already.
Intercooler, lift, and stencil.
Different angle.
Hipermax RS with adjustable camber plates. It has different sets of holes for the camber screws on the plates that allow you to set the camber in further than others. (I am still new with EVO suspension so if anyone has information to correct me, please feel free to do so. )
It looks like its crooked but thats cause the hangers aren't on and its not 100% bolted up yet.
Closer shot of the turbo mounted.
Here is a picture of the new clutch system. We installed a OS Giken Twin Plate and it came with this conversion from a push type to a pull type system.
Lastly, this is a picture of the 9 JDM rear bumper that we just got in today.
New Information on the differences between the 8 and the 9
Just for reference, the downpipe and Carbon Ti exhaust bolt right up. The downpipe is specific for this turbo kit. I am not sure about other regular downpipes as of right now.
The EVO 8 FCON harness doesn't plug in at all. We are going to be sending the ECU to HKS USA along with the 8 FCON harness to them to see if they can get everything working.
If you are planning on using larger injectors, in our case we are using 1000cc, you need to shim the spacers down for the fuel rail to sit flush with the injectors. I'm not sure if this is required on the 8 as we have not worked on an 8 yet.
I will keep everyone updated as things arise.

It clears the condensor just fine. Actually, we managed to squeeze a full sized Koyo core in there. I was just notified of this, I will be going to take more pictures tonight. Stay tuned guys!
BTW, I just picked up an EVO IX MR for myself this past weekend. I will be doing more bolt-on R&D testing such as the HKS Racing Suction kit, etc... Stay tuned guys!

Sorry to go OT, but this is just stupid.

Autoplus,
We're still waiting on hearing from HKS USA about the ECU situation. We need to figure out if the VPRO will even run the car before we dive into the MIVEC situation. Hopefully we can come up with a harness or something after this whole thing is done.
And as far as cams go, I have no idea... that's a whole other ball park.
