    Resolved 1G exhaust manifold known to crack?

    The Evo 1-3 manifolds all crack, too. They're not immune.

    1G and 2G AWD Intermediate Shaft Repair Parts

    This is definitely a helpful post, I went through the same ordeal but didn't want to deal with finding the correct seals and shipping individual tiny parts to Canada at $20/ea, so I ordered a MB526956 shaft rebuild kit from Mitsubishi instead (surprisingly still in stock at $60ish US). Then I...

    Vroom.

    Nice work. Are you dealing with Competition or Piston Ring? I just dropped off my Neon cylinder heads at PR today - they did my block & crank work, and they've done family projects for decades. In case you're considering selling the ol B16G, I'm not against taking it back in the future either...

    WTB Seats/DBW

    I don't have seats, but I have a 65mm DBW throttle body from an Outlander that bolts to stock manifolds. You'll need a pedal from any junkyard Mitsubishi.

    Resolved Can someone please help identify this turbo please!

    No, Evo 4-9 turbos spin the opposite direction and are not worth the trouble to fit.

    Ported 2G manifold vs. FP race manifold

    The Evo 1-3 manifold would be the best match, FP will just introduce lag for little/no power benefit.

    2G Can new OEM 95 piston's be purchased anymore?

    Amayama is notorious for this, and for overcharging on shipping. If anyone can get them in North America, it's JNZ. Also look into Evo 1 or 2 pistons (don't use Evo 3), which are 8.5:1 equivalents.
  8. Canadian_CD9A

    Evo 9 / Evo 3

    Yes. Do not even consider an Evo 4-9 turbo for our cars, it's way too much trouble to make it work when there are simple, bolt-on solutions.
  9. Canadian_CD9A

    Evo 9 / Evo 3

    They spin in different directions, so you can't just change the turbine housing between them. They also have different flanges; the Evo 4-9 is divided, but the 1-3 housing isn't.

    Bigger stronger w5m33 gears?

    I've heard from a few racers that they're pretty finnicky, and they look really floppy and awkward in all the videos I've seen of them in use. They are absolutely not for usage on a synchro box though, they shift too fast for the synchro to do its thing, which will wear out engagement teeth.

    2G 420A to Corolla GR 1.6l 3 cylinder swap

    Just doing something "to be different" is about the worst justification there is for a bad idea, especially when you don't have the know-how to do it yourself. There's no point in doing this. It's a very limited production, small displacement engine that is made for a very specific niche...

    I've been a follower of G&G for a long time since the content is good and they don't take themselves too seriously, yet they're both good builders and phenomenal racers.

    420a turbo fuel help

    Keep it at stock base pressure for now and just change the gain to see what happens. Don’t spend money if you can get it running okay on the 5 psi.
  17. Canadian_CD9A

    420a turbo fuel help

    Like I said, try a different FMU gain rate first, the 12:1 runs you out of fuel pump - you still have enough fuel injector. If you drop 10-20 psi of fuel pressure, you’ll have enough fuel flow to support your current boost level, but watch your AFRs very carefully as you adjust.

    420a turbo fuel help

    It's not so simple. Those Evo injectors are 550ish cc at 43.5 psi and stock is around 220cc at 43.5 psi. Remember - the ECU doesn't know what size injectors it has, it simply has a defined open/closed strategy given its known parameters. It will dump more than double the fuel at all times with...

    420a turbo fuel help

    You can either run the FMU plus a usual aftermarket fuel pressure regulator (my old turbo Neon had that when I bought it), or the SFMU, yes. 5 psi x 12:1 gain = 60 psi + 48ish psi base fuel pressure = 108 psi, just for 5 psi of boost. A Walbro GSS342 can support roughly 140-150 hp of fuel total...

    420a turbo fuel help

    It shouldn't be that rich at idle with stock ECU/injectors/fuel pressure, something is wrong there, but I see lots of issues. Are you on the stock fuel pump? If you're at 8 psi of boost, multiplied by 12:1 FMU ratio plus your base fuel pressure = approximately 140 psi fuel pressure at full...

    420A Turbo my 420a

    Back in the 1990s, Chrysler and Mitsubishi used what is effectively the same 2.0L engine - 420A for Mitsubishi and ECB/ECC for Chrysler. Chrysler thought they were clever by pinching pennies and installing composite head gaskets on early Neons, whereas Mitsubishi went the MLS route on the 420A...

    This forum tries to be helpful, but man this topic is honestly covered every single month. Overbore is determined by condition of the bores themselves, your machine shop will tell you. Ring gap as called for by the manufacturer. BOV make is largely irrelevant as long as it isn’t a cheap turd...

    2G AWD 2G Transmission JDM Version vs USDM Help

    The Evo 1-3 indeed has a different shift lever/shaft than the DSM; I tried to get one so that I could use a DSM transmission core in my Evo, but Mitsubishi no longer had that lever in stock. For Evo 1-3 it's part number MD740893, and it shouldn't be too hard to find someone who needs it. You...

    HX35/40 Housings in 2022

    A couple weeks ago I found out that Bullseye (accidentally?) made a DSM turbine housing to fit the Borg-Warner EFR 8374 turbo and sent them to ExtremePSI. Problem is, it's also only a .55 A/R, which feels like a hilarious mismatch for a 79 lb/min turbo. Can anyone guess how it would perform? The...

    420A Lots of blow by

    A "Stage 3" clutch in an otherwise stock car is an awful idea. Don't make it drive any worse than it absolutely has to - a stock clutch is more than good enough for a 420A without a turbocharger.

    2G Cryo treating gears how much more HP can they handle?

    Cryo treating is not going to add 50% more strength to your gears, unfortunately. Shot-peening and cryo are fractional increases that might buy a bit more time against a lot of torque, but they won’t make your gear set stronger than one of the better sets out there. The 93-99 3/4 set is...

    Can I tune my auto 420a?

    Just to be clear - the issue isn’t that it won’t run right, the issue is that it’s going to destroy your engine very quickly if you don’t do those additional modifications to control fuel. Do not just slap a turbo on your car without addressing fuel and hope for the best, it doesn’t work like that.

    ...and of course it's awful. I'm curious to see how far they can take this car, but I don't have high hopes for it given what's wrong with it. I genuinely don't understand how or why people will dump thousands of dollars into an engine to make power when there are serious, fatal flaws in the car...

    Morrison Fabrications New Product: IWG Xona Kit

    I see the logic behind people using stock stuff for the smaller turbos and getting bigger turbos for pieces they have fabricated, it makes sense. I don’t know enough to guess what the 5757S on a vband setup would do against the equivalent Green on a cast manifold, though. That would be an...

    Morrison Fabrications New Product: IWG Xona Kit

    Thanks for this. The actual Evo OFH likely has more clearance to the downpipe than what you use for mock-up without the cooler attachment, so that heat issue might be overblown for us. A shield for the alternator would be desirable to keep it alive the longest, though.I like the idea of a...

    Morrison Fabrications New Product: IWG Xona Kit

    The 5451S might be a good time, but finding any information about the smaller turbos in the line is nearly impossible. Do you have much experience with the new Garrett G-series turbos? They look tiny, which should help the downpipe clearance. How would a IWG G25-550 or G25-660 package up in the...

    420A 420a to 2.4

    There are a lot of threads about this already, but the general impression is that it's not worth it. It needs a motor mount fabricated, the oil pan heavily modified to clear the exhaust, modification to the cooling system, custom brackets for the alternator & power steering, possibly oil filter...

    Rx8 anyone?

    The 6 speed in the RX8 is made of glass, it’s not going to stand up to the torque of a 4G63. The 5 speed of the FD RX7 has awful ratios, so it’s out too. I’d want a Tremec TKX or T56 variant behind it instead of dicking with a bunch of dodgy old transmissions.

    420A Engine compression / turbo?

    Further to the point, if you have a lot of cylinder or ring wear, as indicated by poor compression, I'd be highly suspect of the crank & main journals, since these engines don't just wear out one component. Most used Neon/420A cranks need at least a 0.010" grind to even them out, and the...

    1G 2" DP to a 3" Catback?

    There is no performance benefit to putting a 3" exhaust on a N/A DSM, it will likely be less powerful in the lower RPM range and gain nothing up top over a 2.25" system, which would have a better tone. And for $900+, it's a waste of money.Oh, and don't buy anything from Andy's Autosport.
