Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects

[Mark Leasure]

The turbo kit has been wrapped up! All of the fabrication is complete: manifold, wastegate dump, down pipe, and lower IC piping. There are no modifications to the car, for the exception that I needed to run a Evo 5-7 radiator.

A little update:

I completed the oil lines for turbo. I primed the oiling system while the timing belt was off the motor, installed a new timing belt and completed the front of the engine. Filled the trans with fluid. I installed Avid racings poly motor and trans mounts offering, they look great but the passenger side mount raises the engine up about ¼” of an inch. So I fabricated a 1/4” spacer to account for the design flaw. I cannot believe how much garbage companies produce without and verification & validation testing. Just a tiny bit of due diligence would make customers 100% happier. I installed the Magnus V5 and Boomba TB too.

Next steps are to fabricate a slim line fan mount on the radiator, upper intercooler pipe, intake pipe.

Motor mount on passenger side was off by a 1/4". The manifold works very good on my 1G so I was inclined to use it on the evo too. Yep this thing is going to be nasty!!

Thanks for the comments! I will be showing more progress very soon! I need to get the camera out to the garage! Next steps will be to fabricate the upper intercooler pipe and the 3.5" aluminum exhaust with 2 mufflers to keep it quiet.
