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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

A couple of performance sources,


Buschur Racing
Magnus Motorsports
Pruven Performance

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.

8 bolt wow thats a lot. is that good or bad? ok it doesnt matter how many bolts are on the flywheel.

ok i was wondering then if there are any bolt on turbos for the evo 8?

Didn't he just answer those questions above? :censored:

The 6G72 has an 8-bolt flywheel and 4-bolt mains, and it's a damn good engine. The number of bolts don't mean anything.

This thread is fucking retarded and has no point. Do you even have a car yet? Go ride a bicycle :)

6G72? i thought it was a 4G63. correct me if im wrong.

this thread makes me want to print it out anad go piss on it!

-E

I just set myself on fire.

The Evo 8 motor is a 4g63. Its just a mirror image of our motors. The turbo is good up to 400+.

yes someone makes a bolt on turbo for evo8's. I forgot the site but if you really want to know it, i can find it for you again. But the thing is like 2 grand or something. Also there are many companies who make turbo kits for those cars like HKS, Greddy, RnR, Buschur, and many more. Right now the fastest EVO8 is one that was completely built by RnR. His kits are prolly one of the cheapest priced ones there are. But if you want just a bolt on turbo kinda like the PTE's for DSM's that just bolt up, then yes there is one company out there who makes them but they charge up the ass. BTW, why are you asking? Do you own an EVO?

Isnt this the kid who just turned 16?

I second Chris, this thread is fucking gay, it should go in the trash just like the for sale ads with only one post.

Basic Tech? Ahhh @#$% :rant:

CRAIG

Jeez, take it easy, he just asked a couple of questions.I don't know about you guys, but I was into cars long before I had a license.Give him a break

Hey Eric, go and read the first question. I mean come on, this is all shit you can search for, there is tons of info on various sites that tell you everytihng down to what the fucking TSI stands for with Eagle Talons. This site is pretty lax usually but I just thought it was going to start being a little tighter ship. Go over to NABR and put this thread up, it would be the your first and last one.

Anyway I will be nice now. :goodluck:

CRAIG

I can agree with that, but you guys don't have to tear him up for being young.

I never said one word about his age, that doesn't concern me, I am just trying to help him so he doesn't get on a hard core board and get his ass ripped way worse than here.

CRAIG

That and if he is just learning about cars maybe he has no clue about where to go for other info. Link him to vfaq and call it quits then. He posted a questions got some answers. It's the crap the thread didn't need that makes the thread worthless.

Ok I will take my toys and go home, its your sandbox. :lol:

CRAIG

we need 2 sandboxes. 1 for 18 and up, and 1 for 17 and under. Otherwise too much shit fills up 1 sandbox quick

To many cats around here?
