- It's the rainy season in Panama, and that means if we want to go fast, we're gonna need some AWD performance. Fortunately, we've got the keys to Race Lab's 900 HP Mitsubishi Evolution 7. Now if we can just find somewhere to run it....

best built evo 7-9 quote...
"...sometimes I shift at gravel, sometimes I shift at snow..."
926whp @ snowthousand rpm
812tq @ gravelthousand rpm
Coming up in the 80's, turbo lag meant the time it took for turbos to spool up.
that's what ive always been told
thats what it is.. turbo lag is the time from when you put your foot into the gas till the turbo kicks in
Yeah...........OK, Im not going mad. Lag seems to be, largely, a thing of the past, with dual turbos.......(one small, one large) and more refined engineering. But back in the 80s\90s.........a turbo'd car could be slower than its regularly aspirate counterpart (due to lag) until that turbo '' kicked in '' at 4k revs or whatever, and then you got this HUGE surge of power. Now the power is more consistent throughout the rev range. A lot of turbo cars you dont notice you have a turbo........other than the fact its faster than it otherwise would be.
Sometimes i shift at gravel sometimes i shift at snow!
I want that in a sticker
+johnvx2100 in the accent as well
900hp, 50psi of boost, and 2 liters...the essence of reliability.
"Runs 9's and i take my kid to school in it" best line ever!!
I drove a 550WHP Evo and it was the fastest car I’ve ever driven. I can’t imagine how crazy this monster has to be. Built Evo’s can definitely be scary fast
Germany has those 1250bhp AWD golfs, street legal too, you should go check those out Matt
Are you serious ? Lmao that's crazy fast . Is it the R32 Golf ?
No, they are 1.8-2.0L 4 bangers with very large custom turbos. 1233bhp on all 4 wheels, and torque in the same range. just look for Bobamotoring on youtube
+Patrick N I have a 1.8 turbo VW golf :')
+Patrick N I'll look that up right now
He tuned a bunch of those Golfs, he himself owns that 1233hp one, his friend owns that 1150hp drag golf, other videos show 900+hp Golf's doing well over 200Mph on the highway, the list goes on. everything they touch turns from Golf to Gold
Hands down, Matt Farah, you need to go to Puerto Rico!!! The car scene down there is OUTRAGEOUS! Some of the fastest, craziest and odd cars in the world are in PR. I promise you that you wont be disappointed
Eric Maldonado Inagree 100% the Puerto Rico car scene is hardcore for sure.
@@Tain950 Car scene here is kinda wack though. Most people just mod their corollas with 20 inch rims. Bunch of cacos.
@THAT Guy Jamaica?
Come to The Philippines please, we have a great car enthusiast community here. From, Euro/American/Japanese. Hell even public transport have custom builds, not necessarily in the performance department lol.Nice snaky roads with fantastic scenery, roads with no tarmac (fun) and we happen to have a couple of race tracks and an airfield for drag :)
Thanks Matt for thinking outside box (and working with what you had) JF thanks for letting them try something new & unique. Take care guys can't wait to see the next car on Tuned and the next country Drive visits! Great series on Panama guys!
loved the panama series guys, for everything falling apart around you, you guys managed to make one hell of a trip out of it and 3 great videos to boot. keep it up, cant want to see more
"sometimes I shift at gravel, sometimes I shift at snow"
LOL this is gold!
An RX7 without a rotory is like taking a super model and then slapping Jason Statham's face on her.
+ThatWolffe Welp guess you'd hate im ls swapping mine...
WHY YOU DO DIS BE ASHAMED, less power for ya
+ThatWolffe lol less power
Idk that'd be kinda cool
That's the dumbest shit ever. Stop comparing cars to women. You obviously don't have a knack for it.
You have the best show on Drive Matt and you make it that way! Keep up the great work, we all appreciate it.
By far the best car show! thanks guys
What about a bit of snow in Drive too? Would love to see Musto maybe get out of his confort zone and do some kind of crazy rallying... Or Chris Harris talk about tuner cars... Or Matt doing an historic endurance race :)
I feel like it could be fun to reverse the roles you guys have, for just one episode of each serie :)
From the Garrett website FAQ
"Boost threshold is the engine speed at which there is sufficient exhaust gas flow to generate positive manifold pressure, or boost."
"Turbo lag is the time delay of boost response after the throttle is opened when operating above the boost threshold engine speed. Turbo lag is determined by many factors, including turbo size relative to engine size, the state of tuning of the engine, the inertia of the turbo's rotating group, turbine efficiency, intake plumbing losses, exhaust backpressure, etc."
So I guess all you keyboard engineers know more than Garrett about turbochargers.
I personally drive a WRX.. but seeing how perfect this car is.. from the paint.. to the power delivery.. RESPECT
i like this allot, could watch it over and over again...
Cool three parter, the school bus was most interesting.
Don't get me wrong, 900 hp evo with drag chute... nice, but ridiculous fast cars we have plenty in the US. A 100 mph school bus with smoke stacks? more please.
I don't really drive fast but, when I do. I shift at snow! ahah
This Evo is jaw-dropping, but...
I want to commend you guys on the outro of this video - it reflects the Panama series of videos as a whole, extremely well-directed in terms of camera shots, commentary and soundtrack. Great work, Tuned team :)
respect Matt! What you are doing is simply awesome.
Europe ! Germany, Polska, Czech, Danks, Netherlands, France!!! We all love cars, visit Europe!
WTF Welcome To Finland ! or Sweden or Norway ( swedes and norwegian are great builders of insanely powerful cars)
UK and Spain too ;)
Rentta lol, I'm from germany, and I have to totally agree that you scandinavians create the craziest, non-textbook builds in the world. Lancia Supra, Blacksmoke Merc Wagon, KRB Audi and Lotus ... I could fill a page with examples
sry mates ofc scandinavians are crazy gearheads!!!
DRIVE!? Visit EUROPE!
5:45 50lbs of boost?!?!?! What is it running on "diced lions"? lol
***** nothing on a RB26 or a 2jz :P
***** That must be why they constantly break down (EXPENSIVELY) Any evo owner will tell you the same...
They have to be serviced every 4500 miles as well :/
ItsGodfreyHD even worse, its recommend at 3750 miles
Barney Abu wow really? still i wouldn't say no to one lol
What an awesome evolution. Keep up the good vids Matt!
As an evo driver and someone from the Caribbean I'm really glad to see you not only finally feature an Evo but one from Central America (which isn't too far off geographically speaking). I'm glad you're showing cars outside of North America. Seeing this vid reminded me of home (Trinidad & Tobago) which also has rhd car and some very impressive builds. And much like Panama there's little room to let such cars out. You've got to love the evo. It's amazing what you can squeeze out of the 4G63 when properly built. I'm glad the owner gave credit to Collin @ Toxicfab. He's one of the most talented and hard working welders in the market.
Matt's giggle meter was off the charts
"Sometimes I shift at gravel, but sometimes I shift at snow"
Fantastic series of videos!
this may be my favorite videos that you guys have ever done and ive been watching since garage 419. you should do one quarter of the year with traditional tuned and a second quarter making an alex roy/ anthony bourdain type traveling series that also shows a bit of your interactions in these places with the rest of the smoking tire crew
Daily driver, 50lbs of boost, EVO...yes please.
and a 400lbs driver :D
M van M na, probably like 350
lol
Rebuild every 5 thousand miles? No thanks
I can understand why you would want this car. So you can escape from the cops quicker, when you're doing random drive by shootings. Or just running people over. And I'm sure Brucie would shit bricks.
That Obama slam though. LOL XD
Am digging the parachute.Amazing vehicle and a color that describes its ferocity.
When I retire Ill make time for some fun travels like this one. Great show. Keep up the good work...
Toxic Fab FTMFW
Collins :)
You guys should definitely visit australia!
Glad things came together for your guys at TUNED!
Drive is awesome. Im glad to see this kind of program on youtube. keep it up.
6:58 ... Listen to that part
Wo! MuAAHhhaahaaHAHAHHAaahahahahaha!
jajajaja XD
this man is a blowoff valve
possibly the best tuned episode,
Also the episode with the most hp/liter
BloodstainedSinner
Go to Panama and find me a naturally aspirated V8 making 900bhp
noeljf I didn't say Panama -- I didn't specify any country. You think N/A V8's making 900hp are rare? You've never been to the drags, have you? Guys spend $5,000 and have a 1,000hp naturally aspirated monster under the hood, that runs their cars in to the 7 and 8 second ranges.
BloodstainedSinner i go to drags all the time, and rally sprints, nothing wrong with a 4 cylinder...
you've obviously never experienced what having lots of boost is like... the v8s are too smooth... where the power delivery on giant turbo'd cars is fun!
3000hp on the street your bound to die if you push it..
so the lancer evolution proves to be the viable option here.
if your going to try be a tall poppy go show us your car on drive then
BloodstainedSinner your notspending 5gs for 1000hp all motr v8 build unless on a usual. port work, head work, decking the surface, boring the block, valve jobs, gurdle adjustements, valve ajustments alone are over 5k alone lol.
BloodstainedSinner I'm spending a pretty penny on my Subaru to just make some decent HP. I could have built a fast V8 with the money I've invested but I see no point in it since I would just be like the other guys around my area with their Mustangs, Camaros, Transams. Not many Subarus around Nebraska so we are more noticed than the muscle that looks just like the other muscle. Don't get me wrong, I like muscle cars also but I wanted to go a different route and show people the what Imports can be.
I will never forget this sick car. The color and cleanliness is unreal
You just gave me another reason to love evo's more !
Hit up Sweden or Norway, The "Gatebil" Festival. I can promise you, it will be the craziest car experience you have ever seen.
Lag is none existent? The 'waiting waiting waiting' part is the lag...
pinned3 He explains the difference between boost threshold and lag in the video...
I've only seen a couple people on the internet call it a boost threshold. Everyone I know calls it lag. "I went with a smaller turbo because it has a lower boost threshold," says no one. "Boost threshold" makes it sounds like the bottom end can only handle X amount of boost.
Boost threshold and lag are two entirely different concepts.
Ehal256 his explanation is wrong lol he still doesn't know what it is.. lag is the time in which it takes the turbo to build up enough pressure to provide boost.. running 50 psi is obviously gonna take a long time.. so the waiting waiting waiting is the lag.
+pinned3 Just Google it. Matt is right the "waiting waiting" part is boost threshold.
Best video you've done. keep up the good work
Great video as always!
Turbo lag is fun anyway "the calm before the storm"
I agree, it's very theatrical. Feeling the boost slowly build and getting pushed forward is a nice feeling. Even on engines with small turbos that have next to no lag.
I have a dodge stealth RT that I LOVE to drive. Twin turbos on a nice sized v6, it's even all wheel drive. It's a blast reving to red line and dropping my clutch at 7000 rpms and NOT spinning tires lol. The engine was designed with the turbos so there's no blowoff noise, it gets circulated back into the intake. No one takes this thing seriously, they laugh and joke until those turbos kick in lol.
Lee Peffers You can easily get dump valve noise without getting a dump valve by binning the air box and getting a cone filter.
Anders Kristensen
I could, but there's 2 things stopping me. The set up as it is is more efficient, it recycles the blowoff air back into the intake and it's called a stealth, why would I want others to hear those turbos blowing off? I like that it's unassuming. For starters like 95% of people don't even know wtf a stealth is, let alone know how fast it is, or that its twin turbod. The looks on peoples faces when they say stuff like "wow that's way faster than I thought it would be" is music to my ears.
Lee Peffers Your car is a rebadged Mitsubishi 3000GT, branded as a Dodge for the US market. I wouldn't really call it a sleeper. It looks like a sports car. Nice engine.
Thats not a car, its a monster!
I listen to The Smoking Tire's podcast, and have been waiting to see this in video! awesome to finally see it!
dear drive. Thank you. keep up the great work
come Australia we have cars for you
Hey /Drive,
I live in Germany and while we actually don't have coffee as good as Panama, we do have some quite good beer.
...and things like ///M, AMG, nice products from Zuffenhausen and of course the Autobahn.
So pass by if you want! You're always warmly welcome!
Coffee
You know you can buy the coffe from Panama and Colombia (which is even better) in big cities like Munich so no problem. Also Beer is the best (together with czech beer) i agree :)
oh man! czech beer is the greatest in the world! the water there is the best! I love pilsner urquell, czechvar, matuska. Mmmmmm:)
Superb series !!!!! Bravo
Excellent episode!
Booooooost!
You need to go down to the dominican republic, stop playing. Fast cars, great roads, good food and alcohol and beautiful women!! Premium package!
Turbocharger lag ("turbo lag") is the time required to change power output in response to a throttle change, noticed as a hesitation or slowed throttle response when accelerating as compared to a naturally aspirated engine. This is due to the time needed for the exhaust system and turbocharger to generate the required boost
The boost threshold of a turbocharger system is the lower bound of the region within which the compressor operates. Below a certain rate of flow, a compressor produces insignificant boost. This limits boost at a particular RPM, regardless of exhaust gas pressure.
Possibly the best episode of tuned yet
Come to Puerto Rico, The 4x4 here is amazing, Also the coffee is better than panama's.
Yeah the best 4x4 (AWD) car was in Puerto Rico
I take dat evo, I bring it to a nice place, I marry dat evo.
Beautiful place.... thanks for the vid.
Hermanoooo, que chimba de video, congrats por ese impresionante carro....
/TUNED is the only good thing about Mondays..
Try Finland. They drink the most coffee (per head) of anyone in the world, and have awesome rally racing!
Nice video come to aus
and your right about the boost threshold/lag thing!
brilliant!!! seeing a big guy like that, whose driven countless super/hyper cars tremble in fear ... really shows how much of a monster "The Myth" can be ...
Come to australia.. show you the skids :P
shhhh, they already think us Aussies just do burnout because of the video with the r8. Dont let it become another AUS stereotype LOL
Aint nothing wrong with that stereo type :P
Cops are pricks when you get caught but :)
Its the only real fun thing to do in commodores anyway
I'm from the US and im very jealous of the aussy scene I wish you guys would share!
No no man I totally understand I didn't know it was that bad woah.
One thing I do know about AUS is that blow off valves are illegal and I find that highly distrubing man haha
Never knew it was that bad man that is roughhhhh.
I was waiting for him to pull the parachute... :/
Mitsubishi Evolution, best car ever!
Dupree CFEU has to be the most slept on definitely absolutely an amazing car
Awesome video :)
Those roads remind me of the ones here in VT lol. Not a straight in sight and plenty of bumps
I respect the humility and acceptance of being corrected about the lag terms
This show would be *a lot* better if they actually showed off the car more instead of him just driving it. Let us see the engine, interior, mods, etc..
Need to come to canada
Finally a 4G63!!!!!! Thank you tuned for representing this iconic motor so well!
Don't think i've seen a grin or a giggle like that on farah for a while haha! looks insane!
Who's Gary Carbono (from RaceLab) foling? He said that the shop's car was an Evo 7! That's a fucking Evo 8! I used to own an Evo 7!
Evo 7 with a full evo 8 conversion
C.mon! Are you trying to say that the guy pulled out the Evo 7 engine & dropped it in the Evo 8? Do you know the differences of an Evo 7 from an Evo 8? Fenders, quarter panels H-pillars, windshield angle, etc..... are not "bolt-ons"! Ever heard of a "full blown Evo race car? Maybe you're just a "RISER" not a "Tuner". Did you also know that the Evo 8 was released 2 years after the Evo 7 came out, because of the European Standards? The Evo 8 is a more refined engine compared to the Evo 7! Jeesh! Are you a Mitsu club member? Think before you speak, man!
Jose Eriberto Pacquing I'm just going off of what he said but thanks for the education lesson and no I'm not a RICER and I'm not a mitsu club member either but I appreciate the answer
Jose Eriberto Pacquing relax fagboy il slap ur gay evo
jacamo777 he got butthurt
go to Puerto Rico we got the best coffee in the carribean
GREAT VID. GREAT. DRIVE IS BRILLIANT! THANK YOU SO MUCH
Great video! You definitely need to hit the UK
Get in touch with mightycarmods in New Zealand and stick Matt in Marty's turbo Miata.
MCM is in NSW, Australia, not New Zealand.
Oh lol. Well go to Australia!
"...There is no way 900hp is going to stay together during this shoot..."
Well, that's because unlike a lot of dreamers and tuner-douches out there, this guy is among a relative slim few who actually did EVERYTHING to make that engine actually able to handle the power.
Thanks for your videos
always enjoy good videos by /Drive. goodjob guys!
By the sound of it this evo has no Anti-lag so how the hell could you have a turbo that size at 50psi with almost no lag? If you had more room to test the car you would notice it.
High compression pistons help reduce lag. Depending on the type of turbo they're using, the turbine wheel weight and material can reduce lag as well. There are more factors than size and pressure levels on which lag is dependent.
I didn't watch the entire video, but it may have a quick spool valve? Very handy on BT apps.
2:45 sounded a bit like anti-lag or possibly 2-step to me... something... lol.
I KNEW IT!! Check out "Mellon Racings 900hp EVO" on youtube. Says "Gary's EVO", it's red, and it also has 900hp. I seriously doubt there's another guy named Gary with a red EVO running 900hp. lmao.
yea im pretty sure its the same car haha
Ya dude. I still don't know how these evo's take that much boost with high compression ratios.
nezerac yeah its the same car gary has a workshop here in Panama.
nezerac E98 or Q16...thats how.
What the crap is Q16?
Tuned and Chris Harris on cars is my favorite series of car videos
He was laughing like a little kid, and who wouldn't be driving a beast like that? The evo, by far is my most favored car on the market.
Surprised they let Matt drive it in the rain.
Chris Laffery well its not FWD ;)
+OPHeckler that'd be safer to drive :p
Dear Santa... :D
This was quite enjoyable.
Panama is awesome I love the car seen there >.< great video n great EVO :D
Lmao "sometimes I shift at gravel"
Isn't turbo lag the time you are waiting for the exhaust pressure to reach a level to boost turbo or turbos once you have put your foot down? Or have I been living a lie all these years???????
you guys should come check out Prescott/ Prescott Valley, Arizona. Theres some Jems up here. A Nissan sileighty with over 400hp at the wheels with 20lbs of boost, an old datsun with a buick 455 in it that runs 9's, and a ratrod that has around 700hp. There's a few other nice cars here that you wouldn't expect these towns to have hiding. All homegrown rides.
Love this channel
you wanna know what cars in the uk are like well..... lemons with big exhausts lol
how is my evo like a lemon with a big exhaust lol
3:30 YOU BETTER LEARN.
Even Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson mistook boost treshold as lag when he tested an evo on a runway with 6th gear :)
They let this guy drive a 900 hp car and he doesn't know the difference between lag and boost threshold...
EbEvoVIII
he was probably making fun of ''youtube car specialists''
Great vid though I would have loved to see more of his shop.
Defiantly think that you should consider coming to New Zealand. We have such a wide variety of car cultures here such as the jdm scene due to our import laws. Also we have our fair share of v8 (mainly Holdens and fords). Kiwis have such a unique out look of a 'can do attitude' and 'she'll be right' attitude that also goes with our cars. We also have some of the most amazing open roads.
