02 RMK Mitsu turbo build

devilrmk · Nov 22, 2009

Heres a few pics. Still got a ways to go. Some of the stuff you see is prototype, will be remade once I get it all done and the bugs worked out.

Turbo is Mitsubishi 16G 9.8 Off an Evo8

Really like the way this can turned out. Fits just perfect with the belleypan on. Comes out stock location.

Oil tank, needed "clearanced" a few places. This will be remade later.

Injection oil tank. I am keeping the injection, but the stocker was in the way.

Greylor 24v pump. Produces about 30psi warm with 10/30 synthetic

You can see the charge box, its not done yet. Its been a pita, but it will be done tomorrow. Tough getting around the steering shaft.

Look's great!! Makes me remember when I built my own ZX Aero about 4 years ago. Just remember, anybody can buy parts and bolt them on.:beer;

Well Said

So what make and model is the turbo? I would assume it came off a car, what model? let us know how things go once you get it running.

Can you explain what you are doing with your "downpipe". I don't get why you didn't just exit it, instead of almost having a muffler on it.

devilrmk · Nov 26, 2009

John, its a Mitsubishi 16G 9.8 Off an 03 Lancer Evolution 8

Milehigh, it is a muffler. I don't like obscenely loud sleds, so its muffled.

Got the rest of it done and fired it up today. Going to try to hit some snow Saturday.

Will post some more pics tomorrow.

milehighassassin · Nov 27, 2009

I don't like loud sleds either but do you really need the muffler on there? Typically a turbo does a pretty good job of obsorbing/stopping a lot of sound from exiting the exhaust.

devilrmk · Nov 27, 2009

Have you ever been around a non muffled turbo 2 stroke? They are very loud when on boost.

Look throught all the posts here on SW about mufflers, and tunnel dump exhaust. Its all about the noise.

440dart · Nov 27, 2009

man that is awsome i like homemade sleds what oil pump is that let me know how it spools do you have a buddy with a 2860 you can compare to? iam doing a home brew setup on my dragon if i can save 500bucks well i can save 500bucks

milehighassassin · Nov 27, 2009

I haven't been around many 2-stroke turbos. I have some experience around turbo car motors. Typically a turbo motor on a car with a straight exhaust is quieter than a non-turbo and muffled sports car.

Good info to know. I am thinking/planning on building a turbo for my Assault. Although I think I would do a tunnel dump.

devilrmk · Nov 27, 2009

440dart, no I don't have any one anywhere near me with a similar sled or even a carbed turbo so its not going to be a good comparison. Bunch of guys around here with 2871's in M8's and a few 3071 M1000's but thats not the best comparison. By the way I got just a touch over $500 in all the turbo stuff. Got to be the cheapest horsepower ever.

The oil pump is a 24volt greylor. It probably won't last, but I had to use something to get it together.

Milehigh, Tunnel dump is the way to go. I can't realistically do it on mine. It would intrude on the footwell way more than the newer chassis.

devilrmk · Nov 27, 2009

Couple more pics of it today. Still got to wire in the rectifyer and battery, make the intake tube, and put in heavier weights. Will do that in the morning and then go see if I can find some snow.

mtn junkie · Nov 27, 2009

what are the new blue hoses going from top of carbs to the top of enduction box are they power jets just courious thanks by the way looking good got to admire a guy who builds his own stuff

devilrmk · Nov 27, 2009

They equilize the pressure on the slides to keep the throttle from hanging when coming off boost.

mtn junkie · Nov 27, 2009

ok I understand makes sence thanks and good luck

devilrmk · Dec 5, 2009

Taking it out tomorrow for round 2. First ride was short. 4psi boost, loose adjusted wastegate caused low boost and didn't boost until 7500rpm. My oil tank vent was at the back of the tank and was pushing all my oil out so I was nearly out of turbo oil in about 30 minutes of riding and back to the truck.

All thats fixed now...

On the stand today it hit 7psi and was starting to boost at 1/4 throttle at 6500rpm so it should be much better.

Will need to play with clutching a bit. Of course I am lost when it comes to clutching. Going to be a learning process.

happytime · Dec 6, 2009

it sound like good deal let me now how it works cause was thinking of doing that to what all do i need thanks

devilrmk · Dec 7, 2009

8psi boost, came on at 1/4 throttle 6500r's

Need some minor clutch tuning and jetting work to clean up the bottom end, otherwise its pretty wicked.

happytime · Dec 7, 2009
