Some Evo 8 Questions

[SquackDiddy]

how many bolts (flywheel) does the evo 8 motor have?
could you install a evo3 exahust manifold and put mitsu style turbos on?

[LightningGSX]

I'm not sure about the flywheel, but why would you want to put an evo3 mani and old mitsu turbos on an evo8? The evo8's twin scroll mani and turbine housing are a superior design.

[SquackDiddy]

because there arent any upgrades for it. does the evo 7 use a twin scroll turbo?

[Enes]

hold your horses and fully utilize the current turbo on that car, upgrade other components and THEN go up in turbo size..

Also ,the compressor and turbine housings are reversed on the evo8 turbo.Meaning the intake is on the drivers side.

[Super Bleeder!!]

the stock turbo is good for 11s, and yes their are upgrades already available (think HK$)

[CVD]

Those stock turbos can make a LOT of power. By the time you are even close to maxing it out there will be plenty of aftermarket available.

[Kracka]

I belive the EVO has an 8-bolt flywheel pattern.

First off, who cares how many bolts the flywheel has. More or less bolts don't mean anything. The reason 2G 7-bolt motors crankwalk isn't because there is an extra bolt on the flywheel. The 1G 7-bolt motor very rarely crankwalk.

There are turbo and manifold upgrades for the EVO 8. There are guys out there running big turbos with different manifolds and there are also ones that bolt onto the stock manifold.
