Evo II GSR: GSRWRC.
Evo II GSR: GSRWRC.
Hi all, Picked up an Evo II GSR rolling body last week. Plans are as follows:
- 2.2L 6 bolt short block using some custom Wiseco pistons and 94mm Eagle crank.
- Fit an Evo head with some Kelford TX272s and valvespring upgrade.
- Rebuilt 3.545:1 W5M33 with rare viscous front LSD, mechanical rear LSD.
- Jim Berry Carbotic clutch plate with Excedy HD Pressure plate.
- Modified rear subframe to incorporate a solid mount rear diff setup, Evo V alloy front arms and Evo IV steering rack conversion in the front.
- Evo VI brake master cylinder plus DBA 4000 discs with Carbotech XP8 pads
- Respray in factory Grace Silver
- 5 Stud conversion with a choice of wheels: 17x7" +46 Enkei Tarmac Evos and 17x7.5" +38 Factory Evo VI TME wheels. May look into Evo VIII 17x8"s in the future.
- Build a turbo using a TD06H turbine, Garrett 50 trim TO4E Compressor with the added twist of an Evo X twinscroll exhaust housing and custom manifold to suit. OR FP Green HTA should I come across some free cash heh.
- Evo VII ECU
Cheers.

Any particular reason why you want to use a 6bolt? Car looks good. 94awdcoupe has an evo1 with an evoX twin scroll HTA green on his car with a high compression 7bolt. Let me tell you.... the car is an absolute blast to drive. Message him for advice on your setup.
The pistons and rods I bought as a combo from a mate who decided to change to a long rod setup. Plus the 6 bolt bottom has a few strength advantages over the early 7 bolts.
Some more pics as requested:
The body does need some minor repairs here and there, the bootlid (trunk lid for you lot?) has some rust where the wing bolts to it, some minor dents to the drivers side front guard/fender and you can see the front bumper sags a bit on the drivers side.
The factory recaros have seen better years, I may fit my Sparco Evo 2 race seat and just replace the passenger side to tidy it up. I already have an Evo III rear bench to go in.
The Tommi rims which will share duties with some Enkei Tarmac Evos.
Sold off my DSLR a few weeks back so i'm reduced to taking pics with my iPhone, also featured is my CC4A 4WD Mirage racecar in the foreground. Another pic below. Will be building this as a basic club level motorsort hack in a few years time, tarmac sprints, hillclimbs etc etc with a simple 2L setup.

So, this is the modified rear subframe I'll be using. instead of using the bar the diff bolts to attached to the subframe using rubber bushes, I had a good mate design and TIG a hunk of 10mm steel plate. Solid mounts the diff, which helps prevent the rear hat smashing apart from standing starts, and also from the subframe cracking under the same stresses.
My Evo VII ECU and Ultra Racing fender braces also arrived this week.

Anyhoo, a mate had a set of custom trailing arms up for grabs as he's changed to a full multilink later model rear end, and purely out of laziness I snapped them up. They've had a bit of seam welding, but most importantly they're 5 stud and have the custom spherical bearing swap already done. This replaced the generally flogged out rubber bush and is infintely better than a poly bush that binds up when the rear end compresses, added bonus is that I can lose the **** factory toe control in the rear too as I will control rear toe by stacking washers either side of the spherical bearing to set it. They have Brembo adaptors pictured, but I will be returning them to the factory braking setup.
Also got another mate doing a Brembo swap to his FTO, so I can rob the front hub assembly off him as he's changing to Evo IV stuff.

3 point Fender Brace fitted. Needs work to line the door back up, but otherwise fitted right up after drilling a couple of holes. I didn't like the bolts they came with, so replaced them with some nice re-passivated ones from my spares container.
