EVo 7.5 GT-A

[eujin]

Hi Guys,

im getting a evo 7.5 GT-A stock used.

May i know the reliability, the things i nid to look after, mantenance and fuel consumption...thanks

is the auto gearbox fragile???

Thanks guys...

congrats! getting the one from ZTH marketplace? make sure you do a full lube change once you get it, and keep servicing it on time with the right oil. FC of our cars (I drive a 7) are quite humble as long as you keep your foot light, but then again, will it still be an Evo if it's not trashed? :D

despite all that, the world of ownership for this machine will not let you down. all the best!

Hello eujin,

Welcome to the E world :wavey:

Base on your Q:

Reliability: Since your ride is automatic gearbox, have to be careful due to part availability. But still you can blast till max (speed cut limit) slowly. install boost controller, meters & oil cooler

The things you need to look after: check your AYC, all suspension, bush, bearings, water pumps, tensioner, cable, hoses, check lights, turbo or basically all item in engine section, checking using MUT II also to find any problem (if any).

Maintenance: 1st day, change all wear & tear such as timing belt, balancer belt, water belt, AYC oil, gearbox oil, LSD oil, coolant, plugs, battery, water pump, Tyre, brake fluids, brake pads

fuel consumption: base on my friend (he also use E7 GTA stock mod), fuel capacity approximately 40liter could only last 250km without blast (only town area).

I did all the checking + changing when I get the E.... expensive oooo.....

Happy riding....

thanks my checklist rite there...all seems ok.....the car is stock..not even a BOV is install.....thanks anyway....i most scared is the gearbox..it seem invec II pretty fragile

wow! that's crazy! I still can get about 300km+/- on full tank if I drive off boost after recently changing to Motul 4100 (actually dont know if got relation or not la, just happen to change this :P) but once I went for track day, and the end result after much trashing I only got 50km (10-12 laps + rounding here and there?) for half tank!

If possible, get an oil cooler for the tranny in order to protect the gears n the oil!!! Then must use good quality tranny oil too, as it will save u lotsa trouble... By adding oil cooler and using good tranny oil, it will prolong the wear n tear period...

As for fuel consumption, by adding a after market ECU might help reducing it... Make sure u communicate with yr tuner on this, as u r aiming for fuel consumption n not onli giong for high HP from the tuning... They r able to do it... Cos normally a stock Evo, the fuel being used/set r much higher, thus to protect any hipcup!!!

Yeah, besides all the above mentioned, the 4WD gearbox oil change oso very important... Like the AYC n stuffs...

Cheerz and have great fun with yr EVO GTA ya~~~ ^.-

eujin, my friend just got a GT-A 7.5 and he first put a Apexi RSM to un-cut the engine and turbo timer ( Good), then he add boost controller ( need to weld the manifort ) add Air fuel regulator and it is a bad ideal as the engine check light also come out.
when he want to turn it back to stock, due to welding, he need to replace the turbo and the boost controller can not be use too. we dont know where went wrong but if it is GT-A, i prefer to keep it stock, my E7 i just add meter, exhaust, suspension plus some minor items and keep the engine stock and i am happy with it ( we not racer mah, why need a monster for?)
hope you enjoy your E!!

as far as i know...all evo is famous for drinking petrol once u trash it...but can be humble if u gentle feather on ur throttle....hahaha....lets hope my foot is light....

hahha...i guess we have the same mind.....i like my engine being stock..to save any future probs...mayb some minor mods like air filter, hks muffler, spark plugs, adjustable abs, advan racing rims, oil cooler...i guess thts it....

fuel consumption: base on my friend (he also use E7 GTA stock mod), fuel capacity approximately 40liter could only last 250km without blast (only town area).

for my Evo8MR (manual), at town area, including short distance highway, boost or without boost giving me the same fuel consumption = 40 Liter for 250km (RM0.30/Liter at RM1.92/L).

i believe Air-Trek turbo, Caldina turbo, and Evo7-GTA having almost similar fuel consumption = 40 Liter for 190km (RM0.40/Liter at RM1.92/L)

Wah bro,

Sure you ride is monster + fully modded stuff...

My super stock ride (similar like yours) consuming 50L = Approx RM100 full tank.
I manage to clock around 300km town area (approx. 4 days)
But tried once for long distance, full tanks manage to clock up to 400km.

info: road condition bumpy+pot hole, single lane, blast only when to overtake.

tips: drive easy to save fuel & earth...

 

[stutzedward]

Similar engined and tranny car, I am using Airtrek Turbo with very little mods. KNN drop in, iridium plugs, de-catted, boost controller (up boost from 0.6 to 1.1 bar), HKS BOV and stainless steel intercooler pipings. It's riding on 18" rims with 225/40 R18. I left the tranny on D most of the time and do a bit of spirited driving about 30% of the time. I am getting an everage of 6.3km/L which is about 240km/40L.

 

[kawamx2]

my E 7 same lah, blast all the way, 40L only get 150 km, mixed is 230km and in high way not blasting is 350km. so beside watching the boost meter, i alway look at petrol meter too...

 

[leslie]

it all depends on your foot.. hehehehe

 

[ifanonline]

Guys, do you know where to purchase the emblem EVOLUTION VII?

 

[PabloIceman]

it all depends on your foot.. hehehehe

Leslie, dun bluff people laaa ... Your car fuel throttle only have 2 positions only ... foot position off for stop/stopping condition and pedal to the metal condition ....

Garrett Turbos:

Garrett basically has two lines of turbos. The ancient, inefficient T series turbos and the new, modern, ball bearing GT series turbos.

*
T family has T22, T25, T3, T350, To4B, To4E, TS04, To4R ...These are 50 year old, WWII generation turbos.
*
The newer line of GT turbos are ball bearing on journal and thrust bearing. The turbine and compressor wheels are improvely aerodynamically to flow more air. GT20, GT22, GT25, GT30, GT35, GT40, GT45, GT50... GT turbos produce slightly more hp then older T series turbos with the same number designation. A GT Garrett turbine wheel wil flow more air than similar sized Greddy turbine wheel. Thus GT turbos are able to boost higher and flow more.

Turbonetics and many domestic makers turbos based on T series turbos. A T3/To4E 60 T .63A/R is a hybrid turbo with T3 turbine, To4E compressor, 60 Trim compressor wheel and .63 A/R turbine housing.

Wheel "trim" refers to the squared ratio of the smaller diameter divided by the larger diameter times 100. Generally, the larger the trim number the more flow the wheel has.

For compressor wheels , larger trim tends to mean slightly lower efficiency.

For "families" of turbine wheels (those with the same inducer diameter), larger trim usually means better flow with less backpressure but longer spool time.

A/R is a ratio of the exhaust discharge area vs the distance from the center of turbine wheel to the center of the cross sectional area. Smaller A/R housing has faster spool up. Bigger A/R housing has less back pressure, more flow for the top end.

The so called "T-series': T60, T61, T66, T70, T72, T76... are T4 turbos as well. The number means the compressor inducer size. ie: T76 means it has 76mm compressor inducer.

HKS uses Garrett turbos. HKS GT series turbos use Garrett GT's turbine with GT's compressor.

For example, HKS GT 2835 is GT28 turbine with GT35 52 trim compressor.

The newer line of Garrett GT-R turbos are hybrid turbos. For example, GT30R is a hybrid of GT30 turbine mated to 56 trim GT37 compressor.

hi all sifus..
just want to ask a stupid question. Is evo GTA have the I/C spray?

 

[mototo]

nope. no i/c spray on the gta.

 

[guest]

im planning to get evo 7 gta auto...do removing the 4wd system will give some better FC?

No..
tuning is more important and much improve.
Ori evo7 gta was only selling in japan.. their ecu fuel mapping is not suitable for our country shitty ron95 n ron97.. must retune or do reflash. Can get more power back and better FC.
I'm a gta owner.
