So after a 6 month build, we fired it up and gave it a tune through the front wheels (im lucky enough to have a 2wd dyno at my tyre shop). On 19 psi it made 320 at the front wheels through the auto with bugger all timing ans nice and rich on the lambda scale. I corner weighed it in full race...

The front end is an evo 2 front bar, headlights, bonnet and guards. They all bolt straight up, so it looks like an EVO2 pickup.

So the combo will be 2.1 alloy rod 4G64 Ported hyundai sonata head with hks valve springs standard hyundai aspirated sonata cams un touched. Hyundai sonata intake and throttle Methanol and no intercooler GTX3076 turbo Mechanical fuel pump Motec M4 Motec dash Forced four shift box A built auto...

I fitted my old engine in and started to bolt everything up

Did a 5 stud conversion as they are 4 stud from factory.Fabricated in a 2 link kit and the Tacoma rear diff with matching diff gears to suit the auto (RVR Hyper gear)

The old 1.5 liter engine was removed along with all other unwanted bits

While I was waiting for my engine bits arrive for my mirage, I was trying to work out what to do with all the left over engine/turbo bits I have lying around. I came across this yellow 2009 Proton Jumbuck for sale here in Australia. After some negotiations I snapped it up.These Jumbucks share...

In car vid of sme passes 10.99 10.7 10.8 best mph 125 using a shift box and paddle shifters off an evo 10

Thanks heaps. Its slowly getting there. Im making the throttle cable for it now and its back on the dyno for some more tuning.

Carbs are nearly done

Bottom end is done

My next step is a hi comp bottom end Im in the process of building a 14:1 comp Crower 102mm crank 4G64 bottom end

Bit of yellow paint and a new pb a few weeks ago I did 4 passes 11.820 @114.68 1.653 60 foot 11.820 @111.93 1.610 60 foot 11.770 @113.62 1.539 60 foot 12.643 @91.78 1.51 60 foot (Missed 2nd gear and 4th I cant drive lol) The shifter bushes were flogged out

After sitting around in the shop for a few months I decided to give the mirage a splash of yellow paint and take it out to the track for some fun.Bit of yellow paint and a new pb last night I did 4 passes 11.820 @114.68 1.653 60 foot 11.820 @111.93 1.610 60 foot 11.770 @113.62 1.539 60 foot...

Update time, we have mucked around with the strut tops on the rear and pushed them 3 inches towards the front. Im hoping it will keep the front wheels down a bit more. I have also lowered it 2 inches and put softer springs in the rear too. Next outing will be in 2 weeks. I think a 11.6 is the...

I am looking to try out my auto on my NA set up. Has any one here run an auto with NA at the drags. My set up has run 11.8@118 NA. But I am thinking in the long run the auto will be the go. Im currently building a 13:1 2.6 bottom end that will go in soon.

It was fun to drive thats for sure 1st pass 12.6 @111 (missed 2nd gear) 2nd pass 11.92@113 1.64 60(big wheel stand) 3rd pass 11.88@114 1.73 60(popped a wheelie in 2nd gear LOL)

Specs so far are 4g64 de stroked 2.1, alloy rods, JE pistons, cnc ported head 350cfm @.50 etc. 9.0:1 compression for now, mechanical fuel pump, methanol, Hypertune intake plenum, 100mm throttle body. Haltech E11 ecu, MSD DIS 2 ignition, bosch coils. Makes 240hp at the wheels so far, turning it...

Bit of an update, its all finished and ready for its first outing on wednesday, test and tune at the local drag strip.

Its alive and running!!!

I think I have a problem LOL(or way too much time on my hands) After a few beers and alot of discussion about doing a mid engine all motor conversion on something mitsubishi I found the perfect donor.A 1999 Jap spec mitsubishi Mirage hatch. 2120lbsI picked it up for $200 and started to strip...

Video

Ended up doing 4 passes 12.022@115, 11.92@115, 12.04@117, 12.2@116Finally an 11 sec pass woohoo.

Shorter diff ratio is in(evo3) and I am going out on Saturday again, hoping to run an 11 sec pass

Im running an off the shelf group a rally cam from tighecams.com.au and they have around 290 duration im not too sure on lift.As a turbo it was awesome so with a little bit of cam dialing I think these cams might work fine. The intake is http://www.hypertune.net/ and is a very popular item on...

I want to run a 10 sec pass all motor, so I did some calculations and I need to make around 330-350hp at the engine(2100lbs) and that should give me a 125-128 trap.So my next meet is on the 20th this month and I am going to change my diff ratio to a shorter one and see what this does.I also have...

I thought I would put up a build thread on my CC Lancer Coupe(that's what we call it here in Australia) It all started when I bought it from a friend of mine as a roller with a cage/chute lexan etc.In its former life it was a turbo manual running mid 9's at over 150mph. He was over it so I...

I raced at a import meet here in Brisbane on Saturday and it was a blast I did 6 passes for the daypass 1 [email protected] 2 [email protected] 3 [email protected] 4 [email protected] 5 [email protected](backed off bracket race)pass 6 [email protected](lost by .082 sooo close to the finals)...

Im running a24.5X8X13 slicks

Thanks for the info, I will look into that. I pulled the gearbox apart, the guy I bought it from told me the centre diff was locked but it wasn't,He only locked the viscous. So im going to lock it for now and try to find a FWD box.

I think in a perfect run a 11.5-11.6 is on the cards. Im looking into a fwd tranny atm too, here in Australia we didn't have any turbo fwd cars so I might have to do some research.

I finally got to take it out and I did 3 passes first pass was a [email protected] with a 2.19 60, just driving it off the line and short shifting second pass was a [email protected] with a 2.09 60 and revving it to 9000 each gear third pass I decided ti try the 2 step at 6500 and did a 1.80 60 but broke the...

After reading this thread I was motivated to ditch the turbo , 250hp at the front wheels on methanol through a 5 speed.4G64 twincam 2.1 9.8:1 comp atm, Im going out to run it this Saturday weather permitting. I have no idea what I will run but its loud!!!

link to video

Im hoping so, It should weigh in around 2150-2200 with me in it(240) so im guessing around 145-150 trap

Dyno time is done, and I'm very happy with the result. We had it running on E85 and when we switched over to methanol it fired up and sounded even angrier. Took it to the boys at GT Auto Garage and used their hub dyno it took only 4 runs on the dyno and it was done. 570hp(430kw) at the front...

It will have 26X10 slicks on the front, the other tyres are for fitment and rolling around etc

Its alive!!! Fired it up on Friday and its off for a tune this week

That looks great, Haltech is a great computer, I have been running one since 96

How did it go? I put the hankook semis on it for the guys. Dave was saying he was going to have a steer.

Thanks for the well wishes, Im at the engine assembly stage now and I should have the engine put together this week. I also ended up getting every nut, bold and bracket cad plated gold while the engine was getting machined,the result was awesome!! My next stage is match porting the manifolds...

Thanks, That was my old evo2, so many great memories:DSo after the interior was put back in, I put my old 9 second setup back in the car.This was sitting on a pallett in my shed at home for 2 years:) The old set up was as follows7bolt built 2.4 Eagle rods JE Pistons Eagle Crank ARP...

After spending a long time on here reading a lot of great information, I thought I would post up my build from the beginning. I have been around the Mitsu/DSM scene since 1998. My first car was a Evo 2 imported from Japan.Long story short, I ended up running the car to a best time [email protected] mph...

Great pass,looked like it was doing it easy

That set up looks great

I ended up fitting 15X10 with a 5 inch back space, the front of the car has flared guards. Anyone running traction bars?I'm thinking of making a set up.(not wheelie bars)

Thats such a cool pic

:hellyeah: thats exactly what im doing too
