CZeroMedia can you point me to a place wherei can find the older evos 8 -9-10 before the body style changed? Been looking for a decade and can never seem to find the right one... also great work and subbed✊️
My first suspension mod on my 05 Lancer ES was Tein lowering springs. But I upgraded the stock ES struts to the Ralliart struts. I did have to install camber bolts on the front to allow for camber adjustment. The stock rear adjustment points had plenty of room for rear camber adjustment. I eventually upgraded to Tein coilovers. The biggest issue with my 05 Lancer ES was doing height adjustment. I couldn't use the gap between the fender wells because the rear finder wells are actually lower than the front. So in order to get the same height on both front and rear, I had to use the pinch welds that run along under the rocker panels. If I use the gap on the fender wells, the rear will sit about an inch higher than the front. The LS, OZ, and Ralliart are the same way. I really haven't paid much attention to the EVOs, but it appears the front and rear fender wells are the same height.
Another thing to add is dont buy bolt-ons for "quick" gains. Its likely that whats been advertise is tuned on an ECU and not factory. In most case it will only take it the amount of air/fuel required to run the car from factory. Save your money and buy your bolt-ons when you bring in an induction system. Induction systems is where you will make your biggest gains and where your bolt-ons will make its most power with an aftermarket ECU&tune.
"I'm all for eBay exterior parts, cause it's just going to break and wear off and you're gonna lose it anyways on some driveway that's too steep to climb up." Hahahaha this. Loving the vids man keep it up! You've got yourself another sub.
I don't know many Evo owners (including myself) that went small battery to reduce weight. We all went small battery to be able to use short route intercooler piping for better response and because we didn't want to run power wires through our full interior cars. Also if your car likes to sit, take a min to remove the negative off your battery and it wont die.
There is one thing also about the manifold, like you said - temperature. Temperature and movement. Engine moving compared to a stiff hanging exhaust with only spring bolts allowing minimal movement under the turbo elbow. If you wish to use an Stainless elbow &/or manifold, you need to put a longer flex pipe on the downpipe. I've learned through 8 years of Evo experience :)
I know the feel, had my motor built by a well known part fabber in the respective community. Drove it home to find they put a cracked manifold back on, and I had oil blow by on all 4 rings. 6k worth of parts and labor in shortblock alone. Was supposed to be a 700whp capable build. Couldn't dd it for a month. Someone recommends a tuner/builder and I just go full suspish lol.
This guy is so right I also spent thousands on a t51r turbo for my mk4 supra. I would have got a great result on a dyno but been driven cray bu the lag. Went for a hx35 saved money and got great times on the track. :)
CZeroMedia I know a lot of us evo owners Autocross or road race from time to time or once A year. I think it would be cool if you talk about you're suspension setup/ tire setup before and after on what made the biggest difference on the track. keep the vids coming man, love watching them.
I agree with the statement about green Tien springs on a tuner car. The previous owner of my 3000gt vr4 put them on the car and it was terrible for anything but a race track. I put stock springs back on as fast as I could.
I can't believe people don't already do tonnes of research before buying. Usually doesn't take long either it took me 2 hours to find out the best brake set-up for my car within my budget and needs. Much rather buy once, be happy and have spent an extra £50.
One thing I sort of regret is the 3 port boost controller for my Evo 9. I hate the way it sounds when I'm at full boost, the first time I heard it I thought I messed up my car and this was right after getting it tuned and running E85. I needed it though in order to get dual map tuned, and I wish there was some way to keep my mbc while being able to switch maps quickly. Great video though, so true about those springs. Terrible for our cars...
Loving the videos! Another point for Carbon Fibre, people need to learn the difference between 'Dry Carbon' & 'Wet Carbon' most carbon parts are 'Wet Carbon' which isn't as strong as its like 75% Resin, also the weight loss using 'Wet Carbon' isn't that great, I agree if you get actual Carbon (Dry Carbon) it's super lite, but the 'Wet Carbon' is still quite heavy considering the price difference over Fibre Glass parts, just a tip for people! :D
Man I wish I saw this video earlier before getting my car tuned at a place where a guy told me about and now my evo runs like crap! But great video man! I watched your videos when I had a honda and got inspired to get an evo and I did! :)
I've been using pro sport gauges for 7+ years with zero issues. I always find that majority of the times it's user install error on gauges. Also the mini battery is not a big deal either, I keep a ctek on mine whenever I'm not driving my evo...
the part your talking about the cheaper manifolds the turbo is just held up by that manifold its also held up by strut under neath it going from the black of the manifold to the dump so in saying that your very unlikely going to brake that cheaper manifold, the only thing you need to worry about is the smoothness of the exhaust ports and welding job of everything in saying that it all needs to flow smoothly
Lots of great evo info, I see a lot of young guys buyIng parts that don't help performance, my nephew bought an wrx and spent thousands of dollars with little of HP increase
Thought about getting an 2003 evo 8 at 17 years old, but then realized that im not going to be able to spend every paycheck that i get on the car and probably wont be able to balance work and school. But one day, one day ill have my dream car
Mad good video . i have an evo n you gave great info.. I had a seibon cf hood on my evo viii . It was the WORST idea ever. it faded so bad because of the sun and i literally had to polish it every other day so it wouldn't look like absolute shit. I have a X now n def learned so much from my previous mistakes on that car lol
Also make sure the shop you're having your car tuned at is not just a known name, but also is known for tuning your kind of car. If you have an EVO and the shop you're having it tuned at is known for tuning Mustangs, maybe you should look for someone else, even if they're good at doing Mustangs.
...or learn to use ECUFlash to change the maps yourself ;) I use EvoScan and it's dyno mod, ideal for road tuning the car along with ECUFlash to tweak the timings.
funny to see my comment back in the vlog ( 5:40 ).. never expected that to happen.. but these are good vlogs my mod regret is stripping my fast daily driver to make it lighter.. and than summer it over and i had to drive my daily in the winter.... stone cold... never doing that again... BTW.. i got to a tuning shop and saw the "JDM as fuck"sticker that you explained in vlog #4 and i explained the meaning of it how you explained it to me.. i got an applause from the shop staff :P because i was the first in thier shop that could explain thx to your vlog what the sticker ment...
i actually have cobb lowering springs on my mazdaspeed 3. and ive had it on the car for like 2 year. im going to get coilovers soon though. and ill never buy ebay parts for my car. only quality parts!
I wish I found this out before I wasted money on my evo 9 turbo process. Luckily I didn’t install. Waste of money but not really because I can use it in my other car.
What you said about the gt35r isn't completely true. My father had a 714hp 2.0ltr evo with a custom gt35r turbo from owen developments and the thing was pulling hard by 3000rpm. It's all about how things work together. But yes, if you just stuff a big turbo on without working stuff out then yeah you'll get pretty bad turbo lag.
I drive a 2011 Hyundai Sonata, but still love your vids! Very knowledgeable, and I enjoy learning for the future when I kick the last kid out of the house and go into mid-life crisis mode : )
+J Clouse lol we about to get that engine swap. i got a sonata also, to anyone who didn't know basically they recalled 11-12 sonata's with the gdi to replace the engine due to "engine malfuncions"
I've seen many people on the GT-86 forum that run fine with the Eibach Sportline springs on stock struts. But after hearing negative stuff I don't know if I want to do it for my FR-S.
Great video, but I always get confused when people say they don't take their Evo in the snow or on trails. I mean that's what they're built for (even have a setting just for snow lol). I don't know, maybe I'm just one of the few people that use their Evo for what it's intended for, still good points in your video though.
I must just clean and maintain my car very well then. 08 X, has been through every element, off road, all year long and at 97k miles and has very little damage to the underside. When I completely rebuild the car in a few years I'm rhino lining the underside for more protection.
+NinjaMasterZer0 I had a BONE STOCK 98 Talon tsi a year ago that was originally driven in a snowy area. When it came to working on it, almost all the bolts were rusted shut and had to be cut just to do the job. WD40, freeze off, blow torch etc... would maybe break the bolts loose. Thats just one issue so gotta be careful with that.
When you own an Evo,if you truly can afford it,in North America,you should always buy it with rust protection,from Mitsubishi,not those shitty things at 60$ you have to do everyyear by some random fuckwit,Im tlaking about the real one,guaranteed 10 years.You have no reasons NOT to drive an Evo in the snow,it's actually way easier on the drivetrain than doing all that stupid shit on asphalt.Also,when cleaning car just rinse the underside...
Thumbs up, love your video man. I have Evo X 4b11 engine. It's stock so far except for a single exit catback exhaust system( tomei). Can you give some tips or advice for my next part upgrade and tune, like intercoolers, intakes, ecu remaps. I will appreciate your response.
Hey CZero! Purchasing an Evo 8 soon and I've been watching all your videos. Noticed in this video you're snowboarding! What area are you in and where do you like to board!?
Been looking around, i go off road/snow when ever i can, was wondering (because i broke my lip in half having too much fun lol) if you would be able to find a 06 evo 9 mr front lip, i can never seem to find one online and when i do its either from like cheap eBay parts or shady places, and locally they don't seem to understand what I'm talking about.
Hello, I ha a 2013 Mitsubishi evo x gsr with low mileage. And I also ha is an Elmer racing cnc forged 4b11t block and prototype billet head from elmet racing. What do I do?.. to build or change builds
Picking up an Evo X within the year, apparently one i found has been modified to put out 400HP (he showed me dyno charts). Is anything beyond this going to impact its daily drivability?
I own an 07 mustang gt and I can honestly say I enjoy watching your videos because you actually know what you're talking about. Keep it up man
thank you sir!!
CZeroMedia can you point me to a place wherei can find the older evos 8 -9-10 before the body style changed? Been looking for a decade and can never seem to find the right one... also great work and subbed✊️
I'm so glad I came across this channel since I'm buying an evo soon!
+Mia Maria make sure to check out my Evo how to play list and my website for cheapest parts :)
Thanks heaps def will!
Mia Maria same bro!
Mia Maria me three, maybe in December I'm working hard for it.
I'm looking into an Evo IX with a full Voltex kit and a claimed 450hp!
Amazing to actually see someone sit down and talk about owning an evo with proper knowledge and willing to help, thanks brother.

it's his cousin

It's Hans lil brother

For me, Tuning is get the best parts possible. Waiting 5 weeks for my Defi Boost Gauge is worth because not everyone has it here in Germany.
You're an awesome guy man! This is what the car community is all about :)
Love your videos. Very informative. I'm a beginner car enthusiast still learning the basics and your videos help me out quite a bit. Keep it up!
This guy is so right I also spent thousands on a t51r turbo for my mk4 supra. I would have got a great result on a dyno but been driven cray bu the lag. Went for a hx35 saved money and got great times on the track. :)

oh wow. congrats with the purchase! its funny now that i just did a honda review video lol
When it comes to gaming and cars japanese own
Really informative video man, appreciate all the knowledge! Always learning something new when I click on your channel.
I love how you add memes keep doing it

Bruh, the start of 2015. What a time.
very good advice, I went with Ohlins DFV for my Evo 6, best decision ever, handles so well on the road :)
Lots of great evo info, I see a lot of young guys buyIng parts that don't help performance, my nephew bought an wrx and spent thousands of dollars with little of HP increase
ebay parts can work great if used correctly and you don't go after the cheapest stuff.
Honest words from a honest asian bro! Subscribed!

I've had Prosport Premium series for years on my SRT no problems at all
We some vid. Can't believe you are willing to hook up your viewers with parts! So generous!
Loving the vlogs bro, keep posting them up 👍
Seem like a good person. Thanks for video
Coolest dude ever man. I'm gonna refer my buddy with anEVO 9 MR to ya!
Completely agree on all points.
I have a 35R turbo. Awesome power. Incredible sound. Poopy drivability.
that's cool for him to offer hooks ups like that
Can you make a video on the pros and cons of having a high hp vehicle such as your evo?
tein stech is not a hard spring,its designed for oem dampers
Awesome video as always, keep going dude we love you, 'no homo'
i love all my viewers as well ;)
Really informative video. Sad i don't have enough money to buy EVO X ;< But the dream is alive my friends. Cheers CZero !
The most local tuning shop I have charges $40 a pull to use their dyno..... To actually have one of their employees tune it they charge $200 an hour
Battery tender Jr. Works well for small battery applications.
...or learn to use ECUFlash to change the maps yourself ;) I use EvoScan and it's dyno mod, ideal for road tuning the car along with ECUFlash to tweak the timings.
Good vid, its quite funny how people go the cheapest route only latter on to end up spending the big bucks later. Buy once cry once.
STM and Buschur for Evo parts
I had the the same prosport gauges in my evo and they sucked. I only use AEM now.
evo 9 turbo is a good cheap way to make an additional 50-70whp on a evo 8. (e85)
Can't wait for more vlogs man! Came here after your comment lol
funny to see my comment back in the vlog ( 5:40 ).. never expected that to happen.. but these are good vlogs
my mod regret is stripping my fast daily driver to make it lighter.. and than summer it over and i had to drive my daily in the winter.... stone cold... never doing that again...

just found your channel, love it, SUBBED
Love the vlogs bro keep them up :)
U need to mount your Oil Pressure Sensor remotely (NOT on the Engine too much vibration)
Do a rant on how to properly turbo your car
Those Chinese knock off eBay parts are the worst. Made that mistake only once.
I was here 5 years ago and still don't have evo
Informative as always.
My pro sport gauges have been fine except for the "day time" leds dying
I've seen many people on the GT-86 forum that run fine with the Eibach Sportline springs on stock struts. But after hearing negative stuff I don't know if I want to do it for my FR-S.
Good vid. Ur head seems to get bigger as the video goes on maybe it's just me lol
gah! i wanted those prosport gauges
Yo your awesome dude.. I can't believe you would hook up your viewers your awesome lol
i wan to get my cartoon..i think the cartoon network would be the place ;)..good video man
Great video, but I always get confused when people say they don't take their Evo in the snow or on trails. I mean that's what they're built for (even have a setting just for snow lol). I don't know, maybe I'm just one of the few people that use their Evo for what it's intended for, still good points in your video though.
+NinjaMasterZer0 we all want to drive our evos in snow and dirt but it destroys the car under body
Some council's or government dept of a city will add salt to snow areas, this destroys cars.
I must just clean and maintain my car very well then. 08 X, has been through every element, off road, all year long and at 97k miles and has very little damage to the underside. When I completely rebuild the car in a few years I'm rhino lining the underside for more protection.

my evo 9 is 350whp i think its enough for me i run it at at buttonwillow and do canyon runs and using pump gas is great :)
battery tender....very useful
I just bought my evo I love your videos man
just got mine too! check my vid on my channel.
Can you show us all of your cars on the outside???
Thumbs up, love your video man. I have Evo X 4b11 engine. It's stock so far except for a single exit catback exhaust system( tomei). Can you give some tips or advice for my next part upgrade and tune, like intercoolers, intakes, ecu remaps. I will appreciate your response.
Your welcome
Hey CZero! Purchasing an Evo 8 soon and I've been watching all your videos. Noticed in this video you're snowboarding! What area are you in and where do you like to board!?
My fave mod on my Evo are stickers.
I got heaps! That's why my car goes really fast!
Some of your information is old tech info because people are using 67mm turbos in 2.0 4 cylinders motors in autocross.
Dang I wanted to get a gtr35 turbo for 2.3 stroker in mr2 but I'll have to check out the lag before I spend 1000.00 too much lag is no Bueno.
the next thatdudeinblue right here,
That mute button is a life saver with the Passport
actually tein springs are super soft. :)
Awsome vlog keep it up!
Been looking around, i go off road/snow when ever i can, was wondering (because i broke my lip in half having too much fun lol) if you would be able to find a 06 evo 9 mr front lip, i can never seem to find one online and when i do its either from like cheap eBay parts or shady places, and locally they don't seem to understand what I'm talking about.
love the videos man where exactly in Japan are you from?
Hey bud, I'm looking to purchase my first Evo but the clutch makes a lot of metal noise when it's just come to a stop from moving. Any suggestions?
a very good video my friend very helpful thanks👍👍👍
What radar detector are you using? it sounds like mine, i have passport max 2. lol
Hello, I ha a 2013 Mitsubishi evo x gsr with low mileage. And I also ha is an Elmer racing cnc forged 4b11t block and prototype billet head from elmet racing. What do I do?.. to build or change builds
Picking up an Evo X within the year, apparently one i found has been modified to put out 400HP (he showed me dyno charts). Is anything beyond this going to impact its daily drivability?
where can you get the fp black turbo? Ive seen so many different prices online with thousands of dollars difference.
Hey man! you're super helpful!, i just imported my evo IV from japan. thanks a lot. i might need help with some parts :P
