B@llsie - So your car gained 75/80bhp from an exhaust, filter and remap?

Whats the standard torque figure for a FQ320?

I wouldnt doubt that figure to be honest. A standard Impreza P1 was dyno'd at 284bhp and was then treated to a full stainless downpipe and exhaust system to the backbox (standard P1 backbox remained) and it was then dyno'd at 314bhp. The Evo handles modifications and gains power for a lot less money than the Impreza. I do prefer the looks of the Evo VI, but you've definitely got to respect the newer models in terms of reliability and performance when modified.

I thought it had torque figures on www.letstorquebhp.com but just glancing at it I cant find them. I'd be interested in this figure too.

Its not i doubt it as such. I dont have any knowledge about evo's really so couldnt! Just seems one hell of a hike! The sx can gain 80bhp with similar mods but a fmic is needed aswel. But obviously the Evo has one anyway..But anything after 300bhp is where a turbo is needed as the T28 starts to run out of puff. The FQ320 must have a fair old standard turbo on it to run 400bhp. They even changed it on the FQ400 to run that power didnt they?

Any turbo car responds well to breathing mods and boost hike. I doubt the P1 could run in excess of 360bhp on the standard turbo could it?

No. You're talking upgrading and increasing the turbo definitely. The ones running over 400bhp have FMIC's, too. All adds up, and obviously becomes more and more temperamental

Thats all i was thinking. Just about every jap car i know of needs a turbo upgrade for 400bhp. Scoobs/pulsars/skylines/supra's/sx's/GT4's etc.

But as said, i dont know anyhting about evo's so could well be true.. For 400bhp and 400 ft/lbs of torque its gotta be a good turbo! I think theyre twin scroll like the mr2's..? Just seems a little strange that even the fq400 runs a bigger turb?

Few more of my rallye - i miss it, alot.

Standard torque - is 305 IIRC. MR has different (stronger) turbo and cams to a standard VIII. Evos make a lot of power for very little money

It's not just the tuner I went to that offers a 400/400 package, the majority of the big names do.

Power to the people

Any examples? I still find it hard to beleive that you get 400/400 on the standard turbo and injectors? What cc are they as standard? What duty are they at 400bhp?? 75bhp and 95ft/lbs of torque for exhaust, filter and remap just seems mental! I mean whats the point of the engine mods on the fq400 when it only produces 405bhp and 350ft/lbs??

 

[Graham Gooch]

I've not seen many 400/400 conversion on evo 8's yeah its not much work to get it.

Mainly they have been on the MIVEC engined evos i.e evo 9s seen it lots of time

Getting into the swing of the later Evo models now. Didnt like the look of them to be honest, as I prefer the Evo VI, but respect of what they can do adds up to a change of thoughts I think and the look of them is growing on me big time. B@llsie has a minter, and they are so tuneable.

Nice combo Iain. Love the RX7's, but was a bit put off by the continuing rumour of around 12mpg. They look absolutely superb, as does yours :approve:

 

[Ads_172]

My current fave:

And my old baby:

 

[_Tom]

As everyone's posting theyre old cars too -

My old 185bhp hybrid -

My Valver -

My Golf GTi -

My Ibiza -

And finaly a pic of my sx from sat -

Reckon i've done well for 21.

 

[Scutch]

Extremely well. That valver hybrid was a beaut

172 looks very well Ad!

 

[_Tom]

Yep it was. Andy the new owner ran a 14.1 1/4 in her on sat!

That's the whole point of why Mitsi got it wrong with the FQ400. The went for a bigger turbo when they didn't need to. It does come with a warranty (60k IIRC) though remember.

Here is what WRC Technologies are offering. They do include a new intercooler and boost controller, but are offering more power than I have - http://www.wrc-tech.co.uk/mitsubishi-performance-evo8MR-wrc400.htm

I went to Evo400 / Dentistmapped.com - www.evo400.co.uk

If you don't believe me then ask the question on www.lancerregister.com - loads of us have shelled out very little money for huge power gains.

http://www.lancerregister.com/reg_cardetails.php?carid=1463 - standard turbo / injectors

http://www.lancerregister.com/reg_cardetails.php?carid=492 - as above

Standard intercooler and injectors are good until you want to move up futher in the 400's.

With the IX you can get well into the 400's on the standard Ecu, turbo (with a slight mod), injectors etc.

 

[_Tom]

Ahh right. You didnt say it costs 2/3k! lol! Fair enough though. What kit did you go for?

What are thye standard injectors? 600cc?

 

[Moby]

Sorry, I assumed you realised we were talking that sort of money Mine was less as I didn't go for the intercooler as I don't expect to upgrade any futher.

I don't have a clue about the injector size to be honest.

I went for the Evo400 / Dentistmapped package with Magnex exhaust parts and HKS induction. I forgot to mention that the fuel pump needs to be uprated too.

 

[_Tom]

Fair do's! The main reason i was really doubting was the mods you've stated above for some cars like my sx are well under 1k. So i was thinking...400bhp for 1k? Everyone would be driving 400bhp evo's...lol

Also i gotta say its gotta have a mighty fine turbo! And standard engine spec tbh! When do you get full boost?

 

[Scott 172]

My old Quiksilver :

 

[Scutch]

My girlfriend had a Quicksilver for her first motor. Awesome cars. Cheap insurance, and nippy as hell

 

[Graham Gooch]

ballsie. How do you find the mpg on the evo in that state of tune. Whats it do to a tank.

What about the servicing as well.

 

[_Tom]

Also scutch, what do you get to a tank?

 

[Graham Gooch]

I used to get 250-270 from my imprezas sometimes less than that LOL

 

[_Tom]

Not that bad then really. I get about 280...

 

[Scutch]

Also scutch, what do you get to a tank?

Can be anything depending on how you use the loud pedal. When I first got the car it was just over 300

Now I'd say circa 260 everyday driving and pottering around.

 

[Moby]

Ok guys - full boost from about 3000 rpm.

I get about 220 miles to a 45 litre tank of V-Power no matter how I drive. mpg was very poor even before mods.

Servicing ever 4500 miles - 4500 mile services are about £200ish and 9000 services are over £400. That's from a Mitsi dealer with the engine flush and fully synthetic oil etc.

sheesh!!! not so bad if you dont too many miles though I guess My mileage would mean only 2 services a year. The servicing prices at Xtreme are pretty good, and Toney Cox is the man

what size of turinis were they mate? they look mint, cheerz

 

[Scutch]

Looks like 16s to me Andy.

B@llsie, thats pretty decent servicing costs.

Yep 16's as scutch said. Imo there isnt a more suiting wheel for the mk1..

 

[Scutch]

I had gold 16 Turinis on my Clio Williams. Looked dapper, but took them off in favour of the originals, which also look fantastic. That valver looked mint. Any engine shots?

 

[_Tom]

Thats fair enough. As you did, if it was a willy i would have stuck with the speedlines..

It later had a stainless mani and the airbox put back on.
