Evo 7

[Silent_Scone]

Nice find, didn't see this one for sale. Most of them that have come up recently have been dogs but this one looks tidy!

Good spec, too. Similar power to what I'll be running with the 71HTA give or take 20-30 ponies.

Yeah the guy posted it up saying it was 'going to be for sale' so i jumped on it within minutes tbh. So so many dogs out there.

Makes sense, the good ones don't hang about very long

So is there now 3 white Evo's with bronze Volks on here?!

yes lol. A 5RS, a 6 and a 7. And a 7RS Extreme. More Evos on here than Clios.

 

[R3k1355]

To be fair when everyone had Clio's it was all the same wheels on those too.

White is obviously the colour to have Evos in.

Not much a fan of the VII looks compared the stunning VI that preceded it - but I certainly wouldn't say no.

Seen you posted on Insta the other night, lovely car mate......

wash you mouth out boy 😂 it’s a Xtreme SC 😆

I love the VII shape, for me it’s the V, VII, VIII (MR only) and the IX RS/GT.

TME is good but they are banged on about so much now that the owners annoy me (excluding one) plus I owned a TME RS previously.

Jesus H. You fit a supercharger to an Evo these days???

I can only imagine what that would drive like...

Prob only 1 or 2 do. The cost for performance is eye watering.

What sort of money?

I've never been in one before but I imagine they're a bit laggy what with only being a 2L when you go for a bigger turbo and power, supercharger would fix that wouldn't it?

 

[Ant1]

15-20 grand I reckon as they are twin charges and forged.

But that gets you like 800hp right?

Doesn't sound that bad..... Do it @AdDaMan

 

[AdDaMan]

Its 10k just for the supercharger kit. On its own. For 10k+ fitting i can live with a bit of lag. Unless its a full on time attack car, there is no point at all imo.

I would think more money would be needed for that power, dry sump it kit is knocking on 8 grand.

Bit of lag is all part of the fun

Some Jap tax on that!

Ones for Ford Duratecs are £960 for the sump plate, pump and tank.

My bad, just under 4K.

 

[Silent_Scone]

15k would get you 500..ish. Depends if you want to do it properly or not. My bill came to 9K and I'm shooting for anything between 450-480. And that doesn't include parts I sourced myself like the ECU, injectors...

EDIT: Forgot you already had a Norris build - don't go too mad or everything else will start breaking

I didn't ask any price questions mate, that was Jeff. I've had more builds than most, so know potential costs 😂 Plus my good friend builds EVO engines.
Anyway, which turbo have you gone for?

Ah ok.

I went with the 71HTA from Owens as didn't want to lose much in way of response

Awesome. That’s a beast. When will it be ready?

It’s ready now dude just need to put 1-200 more miles on and it’ll be going back for mapping and possibly a twin plate.

 

[AdDaMan]

If mint they are worth around £1500

Going to put these seats up for sale if you know anyone? Just a bit too tight around the thigh area for me

Stick them up on the Evo Facebook pages. Won’t take long!

Fit new thermostat housing gasket and o ring due to a slight leak. New upper rad pipe too to get rid of chopped up one for temp sensor.
I am fitting a PLEX USDM and running all sensors direct to ECU and then reading from CAN straight to the PLEX so removing gauges etc.

New big boy 4" intake kit too. And a Turbosmart BOV

And this contraption is a life saver for bleeding rads. SO good!!

Oh and all the engine bay hardware which was shitty chinese jap rusty alan shitters, i have replaced with Titanium bolts and washers.

Looks like you’ve done quite a lot to it, any plans to fit a hellcat badge?

I'm not at that sort of level as a car modifier. One day i may be. I can only dream.

The trick is to start small.

Go with a Type R or STi badge first.

 

[Krarl]

Put Evo seats in it... Oh wait, f**k well thats 1 less mod on the list🙃😂

Funny thing is I’d already done that. He just changed the drivers one cause it had a bit of wear [emoji23]

 

[Krarl]

Even worse

Bet he paid someone to fit the grille😂

 

[R3k1355]

You have a link for that bleeding jug thing? Looks pretty cool.

Have you boost leak tested? To find the throttle body is leaking like a t**t?

ha, the throttle body gasket was replaced recently actually otherwise would have been top of my list. Going to boost leak test it as soon as its running. Was laggy as hell before so may be one, although i reckon it was the bov potentially.

This is the one i got. Highly recommended.

It's not the throttle body gasket, thats easy to change.
It's the two seals on either side of the throttle plate shaft, absolute w*****s when the throttle plate screws won't behave.
