We found 3 critical problems with our Evo engine. We recently bought a Mitsubishi Evo VIII, and it wasn’t cheap, a cool £25,000. We’re building it to try and be a better car than Richard Hammond’s Subaru Impreza. But we find three major issues with the car in this video that could have killed our Evo 8. Our Evo is broken and almost suffered complete Engine Failure!

That spanner extension was smooth! But I have to mention, when I was working at a garage, I was shown (and have done it myself) how to do a completely improvised and not-at-all-safe version of the spanner extension where we put hollow metal pipes on top of the spanner to achieve the same result.

@turbo_brian Ай бұрын

Uhhh, whut? The whole discussion about changing direction is some serious highdeas there. The evo doesn't change directions for the power it sends to the front wheels, it changes power direction twice for the rear wheels. A subaru awd has a dirction change once for both the front and rear wheels. It's the same number of direction changes. If he's implying the subaru doesn't have layshafts in it's transmission he's terribly mistaken... the architecture of both vehicles is fine. Neither is fundamentally flawed or causes any unreliability. In both cases their unreliability comes from the detailed design of the components themselves. Mostly the gears, synchros, and stiffness of the housings.

@5372john Ай бұрын

Glad someone said it. I was thinking that was nonsense as well

@moogle68 10 күн бұрын

I think he was just talking about general terms when saying that the direction changes are the points of failure. Based on what you just said, he's not wrong, just less specific with what causes the failures. I think he's basically just explaining the downsides of the horizontal engine layouts vs longitudinal.

Appropriate turbo size is a real thing, you can put an utterly enormous turbo on an engine to make huge peak power numbers but if the engine is too small to drive the turbo you're going to end up with a laggy mess unless it's on track/drag racing etc.

I feel like 380-450 is the perfect power for EVO’s 7,8,9 street/occasional track setup. It’s meant to be a mid RPM engine from the start. Anything over that is uselless, costly and less pleasant to drive.
