Those Dragon gauges or watever is marked on them are pretty crap. The lights in one of mine went out from day one. The lights in the other went after a while. Real nice setup tho. In the VW, is there a benefit of mounting the oil cooler in the engine bay apart from probably a shorter hose routing?

Thnx man. It takes a lot of work but its all worth it. Its like a poor man's standalone ECU. It's runnin ok at the moment, just that there's a slight misfire / stutter at low rpm, probably 2-3ooo rpm. I think its the TPS though. Good times ahead man

Its official. Sherona is one of 2 Starlets in Jamaica with a 5EFTE engine running on a Mitsubishi Evolution ECU. A lot of parts were acquired for the upgrade. There were 2 reasons for the upgrade. 1) The turbo & manifold combo was wrong for this engine. The Borg Warner GM-5 had a 0.63 A/R turbine housing (forgive my terminology if i used the 'A/R' wrongly) as well as the modified Ebay Civic ramhorn manifold had runners that were too big for the exhaust flow characteristics of the E engine. That manifold also had a crappy collector. 2) The Greddy E-Manage was just not working out

I think i like it!

what he said

What brand are the new gauges may i ask?

I understand the disparity between the front right & left but the weights would be more even side to side at the back. ???

Custom curved end tanks i assume? Honda SFWD style i hope. Curved end tanks offer the very best flow in my opinion.

Darn @ the crashed BMW ..... that cage held up! I just kno u had a blast at the Ring'

Lovin it. Thats the same exact setup i picture doin on my car someday. EXACT!

I would prefer this manifold. The runners merge into the collector much betther than the previous one (look at the angle #3 runner meets the manifold ). Also, the collector itself seems to be a better design, slightly smaller & less voluminous which promotes better exhaust gas flow. Disadvantage would b that the other one has the external wastegate port ...... i'd modify this one by welding the EWG pipe & flange onto it. But thats just my $0.02

RACEISM, not RACISM. A play on words. Tongue in cheek tho .......

Gets better everyday, doesnt it?

Lovin the intercooler

Any ideas as to the dip in power & torque between 5000 & 5400 RPM?

Dont u just love a forward facing setup ...

getting there son .....

Whats the difference between the intake manifolds? Edit* - never mind. Just read the blog

Forward facing ............ daddy likes

Not sure about the M6 but what i did was get some 11 mm head bolts & a tap to suit. That route is a bit simpler than the helicoil. It happens all the time, we forget that the end bolts on the crankcase screw into aluminum (oil pump & rear crankshaft seal housings) & not steel as the rest of the block. I got 3 11mm bolts out of 4 in mine nw.

A nice functional DIY front splitter should balance off things quite nicely.

Absolutely smashing. I bet it rips .......

bit of a kink / belly there Rob ........ has it been sorted or wont be a problem?

Holy smokes .... speakin of smoke .... i'm assumin that puff of smoke above the car was from the wastegate......good stuff
