H wanted two things, a car that is faster than all his mates and it to be bonkers!
After blowing his previous engine on some high speed runs, it was time for a change and to make his old trusty Evo bonkers fast!
To make it stand out, H wanted the Sheepy race forward facing turbo kit.
We stripped down the old engine to find that none of it was reusable, the head had hairline cracks, and the block was very poorly scored that it would have needed sleeving. So we sourced a brand new Mivec head from Mitsubishi and a magnificent low mile Evo VI block, which we converted to run the Mivec head and Evo IX water pump.
The head was then port matched to the vast Magnus inlet manifold and Sheepy race exhaust manifold before it received three-angle valve seat cuts and all the Supertech hardware.
The block, as well as being converted to Mivec, was bored to 85.5 and faced, then thoroughly cleaned and treated so a lick of paint.
Meanwhile, the Manley crank, rods, and JE pistons, along with the Exedy clutch, were all off being balanced.
Once back from machining and balancing, it was time to build up the engine.
Engine built, it was time for the install and transmission swap.
In its home, we could plan out all the custom parts like the radiator, breather tank, boost pipes, fuel lines, and wiring.
With the running-in mile complete, it was mapped to run both 98ron petrol and ethanol.
