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 27 днів тому

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.

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.

Mg, the valve covers on the EVO are Magnesium, it’s light but so is Aluminum, and though when magnesium burns it does so with a white hot flame and gives off harmful MgO smoke. Magnesium takes a very hot open flame to begin to burn and nothing under the hood will get that hot to ignite or affect the Mg!!

I built Martin the Subaru in Forza Motorsports(xbox racing game) To the best of my ability. It had 540 hp and weighed about the same as Martin as well. I look forward to seeing this build so I can do the same with an Evo I bought in the same game. I know it isn't the same as driving them for real, but bone stock in the game I liked the way the Evo Drove much better then the Subaru. Once I got The Subaru built up as Richard had, It was a much better vehicle, Though to be fair I did feel like it was overpowered. Makes me think I'm going to like the Evo better after this build also.
