Nice work! Mits should have did this from the factory.

 

That's really cool!

 

I think this is cooler than an Evo, IMO. Unique, and not played out, with all of the goodies.

 

Thanks Michael. You guys made the front end come alive with that huge ETS intercooler lol
Well they did, just not in the states lol which totally BLOWS MY MIND
Dude, you have no idea how much that means to me lol no homo

 

I was looking over some stuff today, and I noticed something, tried to find info on here, but I couldn't. I need to know 100% if the evo 8 and 9 front lower control arms the same length. I could have sworn they are, but I need clarification from you guys. Thanks

 

Pretty positive 8 & 9 control arms are exactly the same. Evo 10 controls arms are slightly different.

 

^Correct, 8 & 9 LCA's are identical. The 10's look very similar but are slightly larger.

I recall seeing a thread by Geoff@ Full Race where rigged up a set of LCA's from a 10 to fit on his VIII in an attempt to widen the track width. It required some custom fab work with tie rods and such to make em fit.

 

^^^That's the thread I was thinking about too, haha...

 

Ok cool. Thanks for the info! Second question... I broke 2 top manifold studs... And 2 removing the manifold to removed the studs... I dont have to support the turbo do I?

 

Awesome build! Was thinking about doing a mirage converted evo 4-5! Keep it up!

 

Stock 02 housing had a bracket that bolted to the block. But once you remove the factory 02 housing, most if not all aftermarket 02 housings & turbo kits do not include any type of bracket that bolts to the block to support the turbo. Unless you make up a bracket yourself, which some people do.

 

Couple more questions.
I need to recheck the headstuds since its past 500 miles on it, but NO boost. Eh maybe 10 psi a couple times lol. I plan on running 30 to 35 psi, and I have MAP H11 headstuds torque to 95 ftlbs. Should I tighten them up more since I'll be running high boost? Do I even have to check them lol ( I know probably should)

Second question
Oil. what to use? I'm on the fence about VR1 and T6 because I really don't feel like removing my metal cat, but I would like some extra protection. What are my options?


Also, I have an aem twin fire ignition box with a spooling up cop, not installed yet because of some starting troubleshooting issues lol. But the settings on the AEM box to run from the evo 8 ecu, what do I set them to?

 

yeah the are the same.

 

So I went for a drive today, with a camera. Should have cleaned the car before but oh well lol enjoy

 

Awesome car! Much nicer than a Lancer! I love that body style Galant. The VR4 is soo sweet. I have a 1991 Galant VR4!
