Lancer Evolution 8.5 Part I – Engine Build and Turbo

Ali — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 20:19:34 +0000

Whenever you are looking to build a monster of a car, you have to start with the heart. The heart is the center of any project build and in our case our heart is a 2.2 liter balance of performance and reliability. More specifically, a GSC Power-Division 2.2L XR-1.7 4G63T short block. Thanks to Westboro Mitsubishi, we were able to obtain a brand new 4G63 MIVEC motor to hand over to the master mind behind GSC’s XR-1.7 motor package, Greg Caloudas, to begin over evolution of 8 to 8.5.

RaceOnUSA Carbon Fiber OEM Front Fenders

Ali — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 18:24:53 +0000

There’s no one in the world that can come up with a good enough excuse as to why they changed a perfectly good body part with a carbon fiber piece. Why did we do it? Our reasoning is that Carbon fiber is an addictive narcotic that seems to grab a hold of any logical reasoning a person may have and make them do things that a non Carbon Fiber junkie wouldn’t do. But if you get the right (well made) Carbon Fiber piece it will convert any non Carbon Fiber junkie into an addict, which is what happened to us. [Read More...]

Product Review: CBRD’s New Radiator

Ali — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 15:29:04 +0000

Bigger is not always better and to prove that statement we decided to try out CBRD’s new lightweight and very slim radiator. Made from a Delphi core (used in ALMS and Champ Car), the radiator was designed to be small, light, and provide maximum efficiency. Since the radiator was going in our project car, we wanted something that could be used on a daily basis as well as hold up on the track. The overall design of the radiator made our decision to install it a very simple one to make. Featuring a relocated upper neck that is positioned away from the manifold (which is a very good idea in our opinions), new silicone hoses, and a slimline fan, this radiator looked very promising.

Agency Power Rear Control Arms

Ali — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 14:32:57 +0000

Before we get into this review, one thing needs to be said upfront so everyone is on the same page. The stock rear control arms have nothing wrong with them. They are perfectly sufficient for the average Evo owner. This review isn’t intended for you to go out to replace a perfectly good stock part if you don’t need to. [Read More...]

Beatrush Under-Panel

Ali — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 16:29:24 +0000

Contributing: Matt Freeman The Beatrush under-panel was in our Install bin for way too long, and now that we finally have it on our project Evo, we regret having not put it on earlier. The car was suffering from front-end lift at the last VIR driving school event. The stock under-panel has been off for some time now because we grew tired of removing it every time we get the evo strapped to the dyno. [Read More...]

GSC S1 Cam Review

Ali — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 20:43:14 +0000

One phrase can best describe the feeling of driving our Evo with these new cams, “holy mid range power!!” After the first pull, that look of shock was running down my face. I couldn’t believe that a set of cams made that much of a difference. But before we get into this review any further, I do feel a brief history about our older setup (before the S1 cams) will give everyone an understanding of what I’m comparing the S1 cams to.

Beatrush Explosion

Ali — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 20:32:13 +0000

Take Beatrush’s Floor Performance Bar, Front Performance Bar, Front Member Support Bars, Driveshaft bushings, install all of these items on a Evo, and what do you get? The answer is simple: a more nimble Evo looking to instantly respond to your every command. I know, saying that car will respond to your every command sounds a little over the top, but it’s the best way I could describe the feeling of driving this car with all these items installed. Don’t get me wrong, the Evo is a great car to being with, but sometimes the little things can enhance the car’s ability to perform better then before.

After our last track event at VIR, the topic of chassis stiffening came up with our paddock buddies. Wondering if small enhancements could make a difference to the handling characteristics of the car, we decided to contemplate what little items were needed to accomplish our goal for a better time.

Mishimoto Radiator and Hose Kit Review

Ali — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 14:38:02 +0000

Cost effective, more efficient, and quality build are the words that best describe the Mishimoto radiator. Lighter then stock, this radiator is great replacement to the stock unit and provides a greater cooling efficiency. Paired with a black finished silicone hose kit, this radiator makes a great addition for those looking for a stock replacement [Read More...]
