Thanks for the reply. It's for my big turbo stroker. Was just trying to trap a big higher in 4th. Sounds like I should just stick with the 3.545.

Hi there,Wondering if the front diff from the W4A33 transmission fits into the W5M33? I'm currently running 3.545 rear and want to swap over to 3.307 for drag racing.Thanks.

Hi there, Have just put my car back together. I blew the centre diff out of my last gearbox so I found a replacement that was out of a drag evo (we have evo 1-3 here in NZ) with a welded centre.All is fine and everything works - however the revs seem way higher than what they should...

Thanks - I managed to find some dowels exactly the same from a hardware store, which was suprising. The mitsi part number is MF472405 which states a 10mm x 20mm dowel.Gently tapped them in and good to go.

Hi there, Just swapping out transmissions.The new transmission I have has had the transfer case dowels removed. Can the transfer case be run without these dowels or do they help alignment under power. How important are they?Here is a picture of the old transmission that I removed...

Here is the damage:Block surface looks ok but not sure about this bore. I'd rather use another block and start again but don't have a workshop at the moment (I'm doing this in apartment parking building) so will throw it back together and see what happens.The above turbo was a thrust...

Last time at the track was December 2019.Engine was tuned to 320kw @ 23psi on E60. Best run was a 12.41. This was full trim, with spare tyre and sub in the boot on 18" low profile rims at 32psi.Here's a video of the 12.41 (sorry for the poor quality). I certainly need some more seat time...

Just spent a couple of hours reading your build journal today. Amazing work. Really love the progression and lost count of how many times you've had the box out haha. Good job!

Hi, I have a Mitsubishi Chariot, similar to a 95-96 2G dsm.It has the cam sensor on the intake cam and the crank sensor on the crank. I've installed HKS cam gears that don't have a provision for the cam sensor.I have a 1G CAS I'm going to install and have a link G4+ ECU so can invert the CAS...

All done.Using solid lifters set to zero lash and check springs.Here's my cam wheels:Exhaust @ 0.85" lift at the valveEO = 30BBDC EC = 15 BTDC Duration = 195 Centerline = 114 - 9.0mm = 148BTDC <- max lift -> 9.0mm = 80BTDC (148 + 80) / 2 = 114Exhaust @ 0.50" lift at the valve EO = 39...

So just to confirm, according to the card the events are as follows:IO = 8° ATDC IC = 24° ABDC EO = 33° BBDC EC = 15° ATDCIf this is correct they put the negatives there just so you can add events together to get duration? Seems extra confusing.Thanks.

Thank you so much! I finally get it - it just clicked. Looking forward to getting back in the garage and checking this out again. Will report back with pictures and measurements.

Yeah I keep thinking I must have made a mistake with the 15° BTDC and 15° ATDC for the exhaust closing event. I'm confident it was 15° BTDC though - I measured the exhaust cam first, then went and did the intake cam, then went back to the exhaust again and got the same thing both times.This is...

Hi there, I'm installing a new head onto my block in car. The head has Crower 280's in it.I have 2x solid lifters in there set to zero lash and check springs.Here is the cam card: The cam card says correct only at 0.050" at the tappet. Which is 0.085" at the valve. I'm measuring at the...

Yeah that's what I thought, some sort of weird extra spacer, but no, they didn't fit there either :P

Thanks all. I'm pretty sure the extra parts are for use with 14mm injectors. I also think this is not "bolt on" think its for use with different length injectors. It's the only way that I can see that it would fit.Thought I would give it a go as it came with some other parts I bought. Guess...

guys, thank you for your opinions and critique so far, very helpful.Actually looking for people who have installed one of these before.... Just want to know what the four discs are and what you did to install.Thanks.

Hi there, trying to install a fuel rail on my evo 1. I would rather just use a stock rail with adaptors to go to 6AN but this is what I have.It's one of those ebay rails. http://www.ebay.com/itm/High-Flow-Fuel-Rail-Kit-For-Mitsubishi-Lancer-Evolution-EVO-1-2-3-4G63-92-96-BL-/221575572484When...

here is a picture of the action. Where do I even start making this work again?

Hey all, thanks for checking this out.I have just bought a deregistered 89 ZR4 auto. (same as Galant VR-4 but liftback) I am going to trailer it back to my place this afternoon. This is to go with my evo 1 and 6 bolt Chariot.It doesn't start. This is not a problem - I should be able to...

Sure! I'm tempted to put my wet direct port nitrous kit into the old girl. She's forged with a link G4.... could easy take it.

Wow I haven't updated anything in here for ages!Well here goes. i'll get some pics of what I've been up to soon.Evo is currently sitting in a 40' container and has been for the last 3 months :( I have moved from Oamaru up to Tauranga and am looking for a place to buy. Have recently split up...

Check the codes first. What sort of maintenance has been done on the car? I'd be checking the fuel filter first. Wouldn't hurt to pull the plugs and have a look as well.

Sounds like the injector driver for cylinder 4 is toast.... Ie your ecu.

Sounds like you have more than one issue going on. I'd check for a vacuum leak first.Could also be fuel related.Also if the coolant sensor is toasted, it will make it run really rough. Should throw a code though.

There are so many things it could be that are stopping it starting. Fuel, Spark, Fuse etc. You need to do some tests first.

It's fine.

Sounds to me like battery ground. I had the same issue and couldn't figure it out. Poor ground will give symptoms like you have..... Did you hook the ground back up to the gearbox when you put it back on?

Lol, never seen an actuator that munted before... Time for a new one? ROFL

Why are you wanting to do 'oil mods'?Most people only do this if they have removed balance shafts and are suffering from high pressure.First you need to know what oil pressure you're running before you start porting stuff. Yes, if you have the engine apart cleaning up the galleries is a good...

Nice VR4 dude. They are good fun!

This.

Hi Chirs!

One piece front end

I had something similar and it was the battery not grounded properly.If you have fuel and spark, it has to be computer related. I.e Timing.If it was the CAS you wouldn't have fuel/spark.

HI James, from NZ too, Mount Maunganui. Welcome.

Hi, that is definitely the gas tank breather. You should put one of those small breathers on it - gas fumes can come out.However I've had mine like that for about a year with no problems :)

Current dayStartup and moving!Here we are at the present. The car starts and runs. It can drive ok. It runs like #$#* though. It's missing and when it does I get black smoke out of the exhaust. I would assume it's running extremely rich for some reason.Not to worry - I will fix this. I...

August 2015First startup on Link G4, instrument cluster wiring, high oil pressure, Isuzu slave and cheap catch can.Finally got my link g4+ installed temporarily to test. I love it. It was really easy, just wired up the new IAT sensor to pin 52 on the ECU and the other end to chassis ground...

July 2015Retorque head studs and drop washer!Have read a lot of threads on the internet that say don't worry about retorquing the headstuds.I thought I would do mine for peace of mind. So I removed the rocker cover and every stud needed 1/4 of a turn to hit 85ft/lbs.Now the funny part...

I would be more inclined to beat the oil pan out a bit rather than drilling out the holes. You're better off having the holes tight as long as you can keep the sealing surface flat.

That is very odd about the new oil pan touching the girdle. Should definitely clear it. Would it fit if you massaged it a little?However you must run shorter bolts on the 2 holes nearest the timing belt. (the two bolts in the middle on that side) I have done this incorrectly before and in...

May 2015New Gearbox.A local here in NZ made me up a new transmission from parts he had + my case and evo 1st gear. I am very keen to learn to do this myself.He had previously imported a Mathias Boldt straight cut 4th gear that he no longer needed as he was upgrading to a dog box. I jumped...

March 2015Rear diff swap out.Well since I am using an RVR gearbox - I need to use an evo 3 transfer case with a 3.545 rear diff. When I got the gearbox I also got the rear diff (non LSD 3.545) I have a smorgasbord of transfer cases to choose from - I went through a phase of buying them, LOL...

February 2015Aeromotive hood pin install - or should I say, botch up.I wanted to get rid of the stock latch. Just so I could remove the whole radiator support bar. In heinsight, I probably shouldn't have done this, I still have an OEM bonnet. They are very thick around the area you need to...

Forget the block for a moment, when you have all the bolts in the correct place, they should stick out of the water pump the same amount.Found this on 4g61.org - should be the same.

Yeah sorry, if you want to test the injectors take the whole rail out and test all the injectors together. Just make sure you cable tie them onto the rail so they don't fly off with the pressure behind the fuel. Just point the injectors into a bucket or something and have someone turn the car...

Installing the keepers. I have read on numerous sites to not use a magnet when doing this as you get stuck on the metal as you put the keeper in. I totally disagree!! Easiest way for me was to grease the back of the keeper, drop the first one it and slide it around, then on the second keeper...
