my new winter project!! evo iv
hello all, take a look @my new winter project its a evo iv in absolutly lovely condition! i had to go down to London to collect it and tow it back on my focus with a 16ft trailer, just one thing missing.. engine, transfer box, gearbox, and exhaust, sounds alot but for me fairly easy ! ive already built one evo up from the block up and it ran perfect! so im going to get a full engine from evo,s 4 to 6 and build my own spec, strip it down remove the balance shafts and build with full race bearings , i love building evo,s up cus there so easy to work on and parts or very cheap, the car has everything ready in the engine bay to plug in , it also has a new Clifford g5 cat 1 and a tracker, the guy who i bought it off has just got a new evo x and already has tunned it to 400bhp! forgot to say if i get a evo iv engine the block will be thrown in the skip, as if ya now ya stuff all evo,s from 1 to 4 will at some stage get crankwalk, this is cus mitszy dident design the main bearings correctly and only from 5 onwards they changed the main bearings so all the cranks are the same but the blocks change from evo 5 . oem cranks have seen 700bhp and more and oem pistons will take around 400 its just the rods they are the weak point even tho my mates 6 is running 400bhp on standard rods! he is getting some knorris design drop in rods

Hi Andy,
Its Steve with the VI! The IV looks class mate, immaculate aswell. Like you say, get a V/VI block fired in there. If your going down the 2.3 stroker route mate, 320hp will be nothing, although big money as it'll need forged pistons/rods/stroker crank, a rebore and then other adjoining mods to run efficiently. If your not intending on over 400, id just think about getting a later block, and dropping IX pistons and rods in, should be good for 400/400 and much less money. Il have pop round over the weekend for a crack pal, got a few new things on the VI now aswell :) |
i'm sure someone was selling a MR engine on the MLR the other day i deal replacement as they will do 400bhp all day long
|
very tidy example, looks really nice. out of interest, how much did it set you back with all the engine, transfer box and exhaust missing?
|
hope it didnt cost much u can pick them up from like 2.5k running now it seems! i'd be tempted to drop in an evo 8 mr engine etc 400bhp without internal mods..?!

Like has been said, MR engine internals are generally good for 400/400 (although not much more), so simply dropping an MR lump straight in would be a nice, easy, cost-effective way of achieving a reliable engine. If your considering bigger turbo's, etc for the future though, id stick to your original plan and go the forged route. |
MR engine would be my choice that car with 340bhp+ will be quick enough as they are alot lighter than the newer evos
