[poe_sniper]

Denzza are those wheel hub aligners metal/aluminium?? If not they will probably melt and warp when you take it to the track. Happened to me :-/ so I got some aluminium ones and the work awesomely!

[denzza]

Yeah i didnt want to risk it with plastic

[poe_sniper]

FINALLY BOUGHT SOME SEMI SLICKS FOR TRACK

NITTO NT01 225-40-18



Arrived at work !




Got them fitted ASAP ! And gosh these tyres are sticky as! Just touching them and your nails just dig in!



Put them on finally! It was time to hit the HILLS. And man do they grip! I recommened these tyres for spirited or track.
Yet to to test on track but goshh you will not be disappointed!

Thanks

Haha nah, these a specifically for DRY competition for track days. And defs not daily driving hehe

[rokpapaziz]

are the new tyres noisy?

I'm using the Achilles 123S and they are loud as. I upgraded my stereo straight after.

[denzza]

Hahah noise is my least worry :p

I doubt ill hear it on the track.

But yeah, i gave up on noises hahah once you change something its gonna make noise

[RyanMK]

How much mileage are you expecting with your tyres?

[denzza]

To be honest, not sure since they are just for track.

Id be happy to get around 10+ track days.


so probably 10-15,000kms out of them.

[denzza]

Havent updated for a while, so i though i would.

TIME TO GET READY FOR TRACK!!

WINTON RACEWAY ,BENELLA, MELBOURNE













Not bad time for first track day.

1.48.2, Personal Best Lap time.


Soooo i got bored one day and put the stock wheels on. And went out Friday night on our Highway runs :p See how many people i could troll






4 Months later...

Decided to change the rear bumper to a Ralliart one.











1 month later...

Custom 3" Axle back exhaust with 4" tips




Realised the Work Emotions were just too heavy for my liking.

So i bought some Enkei RPF1's 18x9 +35





WHATS HAPPENING HERE ??



EVO X BONNET :p Just made the car look more complete





Other than that...


The only things that are left on my list to finish for the year:

- Evo X intake manifold
- Evo X Throttle body
- Evo X fuel rail and reg
- Evo X return line
- Evo X fuel pump assembly.

Im still using all these things stock from my NA motor. Its time to CLEAN the engine up and make it run even more better








STAY TUNED FOR MORE!!!

[D]

Yewww!! Looking good, gotta love RPF-1's
Look forward to future progress

[chunky9]

Holy crap man epic updates. Looks great

[denzza]

So i spent 6 hours working on my car...

It was time to finally complete the 4B11T.

I was still using some of the NA Lancer parts due to money and time and its finally over.



Fair few things needed to be changed.
And people that have turboed their Lancers or upgrading or changing manifold. Make sure you buy new gaskets and bolts and nuts.








Evo X Fuel pump assembly

Now, since Evo X have a smaller tank, they use a smaller arm for the float. And Lancers have a bigger fuel tank. Hence the Longer float arm. And as someof you know or didnt know, my NA Lancer fuel sender was buggered...
Also, as you can see, this one has another fuel hose hole, which is for the fuel return line off the regulator on the fuel rail.

So for the arms they just swap around, 1 clip. And the arm comes out.

Also, gave it a nice clean and chucked on a E85 fuel filter too.







IT WAS TIME TO BEGIN

Took the front bumber off just to make things easier with some Intercooler piping and so on.






I dont have photos of each step and what bolt i took off. Because mechanic life, no time for phones haha and dirty hands, so i took photos of what i could.


Sooo 1 hour and 30 minutes later...

The old plastic intake manifold was off! Cleaned the cylinder head and ready for the new gasket.

New bolts and nuts has to be used since the NA LANCER manifold has a thicker flange. So short bolts are required.

All the wiring had to be disconnected. like i mean every sensor on the engine. Makes it easier to remove things and especially the Intake Manifold.









And everything is in!!

Bit of messing around and making things fit but its all good



Now as most of you guys know, i still got a CEL on. Thats due to this sucker here. Next to the MAP sensor is the Intake Air Temp sensor 2 (IAT2). This is why my engine light is on because its looking for this sensor. So Beeble and i have to wire this bad boy into the ecu and it should go away


Another thing is the the Purge control solenoid valve which is the thing next to the IAT2 sensor which is unplugged. This is the NA lancer Purge control solenoid valve. On the NA Lancer intake manifold, this is actually plugged into it. But here is the same thing just changed the location and hooked some Vac lines into it !

Also, the NA LANCER MAP sensor bolts dont fit this manifold so you need to change them. Hence why mines gold :p






M5x0.8 form memory



Now, the return line from the engine bay to fuel pump assembly was the difficult part for me. I was tired and frustrated at this stage lol

and due to limited space under the car. I used the OEM EVO X return line with is a HARD LINE. so theres only limited flex in it and feeding it up .

Good thing about lancers is that where the fuel lines and brake lines are under the car. Theres brackers that hold them, Thank you Mitsubishi . They left 1 for the return line :p So it just cliped in





So everything is connected up now!

Starting the car was scary, but she started perfectly fine. Without missing a heartbeat. Ran the car for about 20 minutes and scanned it to make sure i havent missed any plugs and that everything was actually connected in.

Took it around the block and she ran fine...... BUT! Since everything has been changed, i cant hit BOOST Have to wait for Beeble to actually check that all the fueling and stuff is actually ok.

Soooo, granny shifting for a few days is gonna be fun !

THANKS GUYS! MORE TO COME :p
