Magnus v5 Installation on an Evo 9
Will be updated with Installation Instructions because Seth (Noize) is a good guy... and he lives down the road from Chuck... who is also a good guy.

Holy smokes what a list! Nice writeup.

Lot's of things on that list sound like problems. Strange other V5 reviews had not mentioned these.

Good luck on the install!

ps: The PCV on the back of the valve cover with that 90 degree fitting... is that standard 90 degree fitting standard? The one on my 6 is quite different.

Any updates on this? I am going to try to tackle this shortly and your install is very helpful and one of the only ones I'm able to find!

R/T Ernie, I did not need to do a number of the things you have listed. Guess everyone's version of what is needed varies somewhat.

That is absolutely correct. I don't know whether it is simply the IX or if there's more to it. I just wanted to mention that some issues that R/T Ernie may have experienced will not be ones that everyone will find.

Everyone with an Evo 9 will experiece ALL of the problems I listed. That was kind of my intention of making this because most people refer to the Magnus installs on the 8.

It's not a walk in the park.

^ I broke mine on my install on my IX

It was a pain but I think I learned how to do a IM install pretty quick for how many times Eric and I had to take mine off!

Not to be the dissenter but I didnt experience all the problems on my IX. The dipstick tube can be reimagined without adding a bracket to it. The alternator bracket needs cut down as does part of the flange near the MIVEC feed. The rest of it was pretty straightforward. I had already done all the EGR/FPR solenoid and wiring though.

Whoops--This was Aaron accidentally logged in as Lucas.

GREAT write up! Thank you for taking the time to do this!

A lot of work seems like an understatement...
