“No bull” has been the tuning the development philosophy behind Buschur Racing since the beginning. Always a skeptic, David Buschur would test each and every component on the track before recommending it to others. If a part didn’t make the car run quicker, it simply wouldn’t be sold. Today, that philosophy continues as Buschur Racing (BR) builds demo cars to test new products. This “Bad ‘Bish” is the EVO VIII RS that maintains a streetable posture while being able to make a serious challenge at the 8-second barrier.



Since the majority of 4G63s on the road maintain the factory stroke, Buschur decided to build a hybrid 4G63/64 that would maintain the 4G63 factory stroke while providing the 4G64’s 1.5mm- larger bore (86.5mm, instead of 85mm). Since the deck of the 4G64 block is 6mm taller than the 4G63, longer connecting rods were used. A set of Manley 10.0:1-compression pistons were teamed with the +6mm GRP billet-aluminum connecting rods to make the connection to the 4G63 crankshaft. This nets a final displacement of 2,068.8cc while the longer rods reduce side loading on the cylinder walls to extend engine life.



Recalibrating the engine management is also a requirement when transition from gasoline to E85. In general, injector pulsewidths are increased while timing curves are advanced. David spends a good portion of each day on the dyno tuning vehicles for pump gas, E85 or race gas. David has experience with reflashing factory ECUs or programming standalones from AEM and Haltech.

 

Good article, I've always loved that car.

 

strange. the car is now RWD and doesnt do poop to live up to its name anymore.
