Track prepping my EVO!

[Slowboy]

U can ask Mr. Azizi.aziz what happened to his pistons after some minor upgrades to his fuel and cooling system and dyno/tuning ... hehe

Or Evokit who removed the pistons .....

Bro,

Mind to share what really happen with it? Because im currently on forged piston with stock injector. Because in my opinion as long as stock injector still can support there is no reason for high cc. Correct me if im wrong

His ori pistons melted ... after upping the HPs with upgrades on Injectors, regulator, fuel rails and tuning ... Better ask him since it is his car and he should be able to tell u more clearly what happened. I don't want say wrong thing about what happened.

Forged pistons can withstand the thermal stress and pressure fluctuations that comes with higher HP .. Law of Thermodynamics, Physics & Metallurgy...

Oh and also, the set-up above included the Tein Racing suspensions ... forgot to add that ..

Err the american had been using ID 1000CC injector with stock piston/ecu just fine
I guess his car have some other issue perhaps??

Mr P,

Thanks for the fantastic advice. I have till date covered the following.

Brakes = Hi temp pads, discs and lines
Engine = ECU, intercooler, pulleys, fuel regulator, exhaust and intake
Bracing = carbing front, in-cabin and boot bracing
Footwork = semi slicks & adjustable front and rear sway bars, PU bushing all round

Next Steps: Oil cooler.

Your list of mods is extensive but kind of off my main objective. I want to optimize the chassis of the car in a near stock state rather than totally overhauling the entire EVO package.

No offense but any good driver in the car of your spec list would do a blistering lap. I'm out to prove that a good driver in an "optimised" package can do amazing times as well.

Two routes to a same destination I guess.

Its a lot easier to do a good time with several 100ks worth of race tech but a lot more satisfying to do it on a "budget" level.

Just my 2 cents.

Thanks!!

u dont need rm100k to reach 2.30 and below. maybe around 30k will do and depends on your driving skills as well.im talking bout stock internals and turbo.but suspension n bushing is a must.ecu and oil cooler it can be stock too.

That list is from a Race Team ... with a budget that is beyond most of our reach la ... It just gives a comparison on the items that u may want to tinker with ... I'm not asking u to do that laa ... Frankly daily driving won't be easy in that set-up..

Since u have listed what u've done so far, a good larger capacity Oil cooler with Cooling ducts will certainly help keep the oil temp down ... a transmission cooler can be optional ...

For your brakes, u cud add the ducts that direct air towards the brakes to cool them more .. so far seen them for CT9A's .. quite effective according to a friend that tracks regularly.

I know for a fact the ori seats are heavy. Drop in the aftermarket bucket seats which are lighter if u haven't done it already.

Good luck and hopefully will meet u one day on the tracks when my car is out of the garage ...

Young man, like i said, it's better for the owner of the car to say what happened.

As for what u've been reading on evolutionm.net since u were 14, ingest it with a pinch of salt ... see the full specs before commenting ...
