WTA: Owning a Evo VIII

[Shinjite]

Bernard finished fixing already? That was fast

Currently it should be undergoing engine balancing. He told me the crankshaft was ready last Monday.

I'd actually be interested to know the limits of the cvt. The Inspira and Sylphy share the same CVT system, the difference only being the oil they use. I'm quite tired of testing so many turbo cars and going back to my boring ol' econobox which isn't really economic since I get 8 to 10 (max) km/L FC.

for 2008 Lancer GT, the CVT model is made by JATCO, JF011E or something like that. I was educated by the North Americans on this info. If our Malaysian Lancers are equipped with this model, the gearbox itself should able to withstand 24 k/gm to 29 kg/m torque without too much issues. One must remember to bolt on additional CVT oil cooler to keep the temperature down. Heat is the main killer of CVT gearboxes. Before BOT your Inspira or Lancer CVT, you must make sure your CVT is really healthy, as well as your engine.

29kg/m isn't a lot. Oh well. Gonna keep dreaming up 6 random noms for Sports Toto draw

Sounds really serious, but hope the pistons didn't slap on the engine head. Is the block itself still ok?

One fact i heard, people boosted their N/A engine usually end up blowing up their motor. Apparently turbo boost surge can happen. That is why until now i refused to turbocharge my 4B11 N/A eventhough Speedworks offer a turbokit. The 4B11 N/A compression ratio is kinda high for boosting. The maximum boost pressure it can tolerate is only 0.5 bar. More than that may results to blown motor and worse, blown CVT gearbox.

Do you mean BOT boost on N/A engine. If yes, sure loh! N/A parts are not meant to be boost and yet people go more than 1 bar on them sure to go kaboom. My standard turbo only 0.6......lol

Get another project car loh!.....Keep STD for family.......

Yup 29kg/m isn't alot but apparently many Lancer CVT gearbox were blew away when engine was boosted too much. 29 kg/m is actually an indication for safe boost, roughly around 0.5 bar depending on tuning.

Oh of course i meant BOT. . If going to spend all the money to build the internal, i will just buy a Ralliart engine + SST or Manual gearbox then call it a day. It is a straight swap.

Nowadays the boost of standard engine are much higher already. Mine is old great great grand father engine and the boost is set at 0.6 only......

You could increase a little bit if you wanted to

Nowadays you got twincharged engine somemore. I think most standard boost pressure should be about 1 bar. For EVO X its about 1.4 bar. Ralliart 4B11T is 1.0 bar too.

C'on boost it up a little, and welcome to another dimension.

 

[6UE5t]

Evos had std boost for 1 bar or more for a very long time already, since CN9A if not mistaken.

Since CE9A EVO III if not mistaken, CE9A has 270ps as standard after improving the cooling system. Now this might start a flame war, i think EVO IV is the most standout character among other EVOs.

my stock scooby also running at 1.1 bar already at the limit of oem turbo

(stock is 0.8)



i bet unker can up the boost to 0.8bar without any further tuning/adjustment needed

EVO III's stock is at 0.7 bar only

Thanks for correction, probably read it in a false info article about EVO III.

i kinda agree.... the evo 6.5 tme was magnificent...

Stand out in what aspects? Looks, or performance, or? If based on looks, Evos from III to VI TME all look pretty outrageous with the IV, VI, & TME being the most outlandish IMHO. If you mean about performance, then the TME is the most hardcore. The IV was quite a game changer though with the AYC & ACD introduced for the first time and that look was so outlandish with those huge fog lamps!

For me the most stand out I'd think is the TME with it's RalliArt stripes, white rims, so aggressive front and the most hardcore performance of them all, basically a street legal rally car for real! As for my favorites, I like the CT9A generation Evos the most as they look a bit subtle.

As a kid, i really liked the IV looks and aura it carries by just looking at it. Most likely my views were influenced by the very popular Initial D Emperor's Evo IV, which has a "monster" sticker on its hood. And also from Jackie Chan's movie in 1996, "Who Am I". CT9A gen are nice, i really like the VIII front look, especially the diamond logo embeded on the front bumper itself. 9 has never crossed my mind due to its toned down looks for cooling and aerodynamics.

One time my vacuum hose to waste gate broke and the boost went pass 1.1. The power was great but at higher end coughs, means lack of fuel. After repair the hose back to 0.6, have thought of pushing it slightly higher, but mechanic say engine too old better just leave it at standard. Go and squeeze a little more later get big bill....hhahhahhaha

Actually in terms of looks, my favorite would be a mix and match of the CT9A.
First I like the IX front with the VIII MR rear (meaning wing, bumper and lights).
Second I also like the VII GTA front (meaning VII using the GTA hood without holes) with the VIII MR rear.
