What is it like to drive a 2.4 stroker Evo around town? Here I drive my freshly built 2.4L stroker engine Evo (with 272 cams and stock 9 turbo) around town. With only 800 miles on the new engine, it's all still pretty new to me but so far I'm loving it.

[@bonestorm007]

after watching this I still have no idea what's it Like to Drive a 2.4L Stroker Evo

[@Blaftuned]

guy is running his mouth about his suspension

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

What would you prefer I run my mouth about? I aim to please.

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

New video in the works. Perhaps I'll be able to better explain what it's really like this time around.

[@liddz434]

Looked and sounded pretty fun to me! 😎

[@gdoumit]

Evolution Dynamics does excellent work. They work on my Evo X and I recommend them to every Evo owner I come across who hasn't already heard of them.

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

Yes they do!

[@kILLuMBuS]

that fucking smirk, you can tell the satisfaction it brings...nothing like it

[@theebanganeshan]

Wow, what a clean and smart build. A ton of respect man. Most people just go for high peak horsepower and maximum boost. Also not many people think of autocrossing an Evo! And I feel your pain with the stiff suspension, Dallas / Fort Worth roads can get really shitty.

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

Thanks, man! More power surely is more fun but it's also more expensive and can make the car less reliable. I wanted a strong build that I can beat hard that won't fall apart.

[@orlandoflores7109]

Full torque as low as possible sounds great! Especially when it comes to racing v8 cars. Even with that hp I’m sure you can take them easy but what about a fbo v8 on e85? Maybe an with the mhi18k it should take them in easier with it going huge turbo?

[@mikewalsh7080]

ohh only a measly 400hp and 460+tq lol... awesome build man. those are great numbers for Evo to me. now I know there are Evo's with 800+hp but for a daily that 400 would do me just fine

[@Rickybobby702]

Mike Walsh yes I know 7 months later lol. But my Evo is 740whp 550tq it's fine on the street. Boost isn't until about 5k so I can cruise around town with out touch boost I just have to rev alittle to get moving. Other wise pretty tame til full boost kicks In. Lol

[@orlandoflores7109]

How’s the lag? 5000rpm when it’s barely gonna start? In a race with a v8 with the same hp, it sounds like a lot of lag. They probably pull out far before your power comes in.

[@Thr33.Sid3z]

You think that car is a struggle? I drive a 2500lb 400/400 RHD STi that does 0-60 in 2.3 sec. I could barely hear the engine running in that EVO. My car is so loud that my neighbor left a note on my windshield saying that when i start my car in the morning, it sounds like a helicopter hovering over her house haha

[@11Greatness]

That's sweet, you make videos of it like this one!?

[@MannyFresh1x]

Sounds like he doesnt have a loud car.. No big deal a car doesn't have to be loud too be fast. Thats ricer mentality.

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

@@MannyFresh1x I used a lapel mic to film this video so you can't really hear the car very well. But trust me - it's pretty loud when you're in the car. I'll make another video soon with a new camera that will capture the sound better.

[@ChrisWatchesYourMom]

Why didn't Mitsubishi use the 2.4 for the eve instead of a forged 2.0

[@mikeyerickson5876]

its a rally car. Mitsubishi had to be under 2,000 displacement so they had no choice but to go with turbo 2.0 that's at least what i read :)

[@ianitski]

Too much fun is a disadvantage.

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

@ianitski it can be when it gets you in trouble.

[@WyGuyTurbski]

Hey Jeremy! When are you going to start posting videos on "how to autocross faster" again?? Those 2 videos were awesome and I think that you could gain a lot of subscribers from them if you continue that series! -fellow autocrosser, Wyatt

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

Thank you for your feedback Wyatt. I absolutely do have plans to get back to it in the next few weeks and have a new video up this month.

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

We're back! Next how-to coming this spring.

[@zstraps]

Did you escape the cop?

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

No. I get pulled over in my Evo about once a year. Usually NOT for speeding.

[@AlexSuperRocket]

Shoulder belts holes should be a bit higher than drivers shoulders. These seats are too small for such a tall driver. Shoulder belts are too low and pushing on drivers shoulders.

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

I agree, these seats are a bit small. I bought them without trying them. Perhaps I will replace them in the future.

[@mikeyerickson5876]

whats your compression? makes ridiculous torque very low

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

I am not sure about the compression. I'd have to ask Kevin D. who built me engine. What I do know is that the torque comes on because of the combination of engine volume and the turbo size. A larger turbo would give more torque but would peak at a higher RPM.

[@theuppercut]

You are awesome. its so hard to find people that have the same interests that just muster up the MAKE A VIDEO AND UPLOAD IT ON KZbin. Seems as if people are finally catching on. Love your build! I own a dsm but wanted to see what a 2.4 would be like. this video def makes me want to switch to 2.4 for the torque in seat feeling. God bless!

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

Thanks Josh. It certainly is a lot of effort and takes a bit of time to do the editing and uploading. But definitely worth it.

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

I plan to do more racing and filming in the new year - 2016.

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

okay so 2016 didn't work out for racing. But 2017 I'm all about racing

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

Ok so 2017 was a bust. But I'm totally down for racing in 2018!

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

Ok so 2018 didn't happen either. But this time for real in 2019! I've actually already put up my first video of the 2019 season so this time I really do mean it!

[@valentinhristev174]

Im driving EVO X this week I will upgrade turbo to MHI TF06-18K + exh manifold and downpipe ... engine is stock. I have a friend with EVO 8 with 2.3 stroker 460tq - because of 2.3 and low - mid FP Green turbo car is totally different from mine and a lot of fun ... you just can get enough of it.

[@karan379]

please make part 2 of this

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

Harry Bains I guess I need to get to work.

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

In the works now! Coming soon...

[@bigdaddy496]

how do you like your build? evo dynamics built my 2.4 and they are rebuilding it now. i was pushing a gtx3582r on mine though

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

The new motor is absolutely a beast. With the stock turbo, I can come out of a corner in 3rd gear with as much torque as what I used to get in 2nd gear.

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

How did your rebuild go?

[@bcredeur97]

Stiffer springs are great, but remember that a lot of race cars don't use sway bars for a good reason -- they can cause grip loss. I know you have a ton of grip as it is but just make sure you aren't losing too much by going with the super stiff ones. Haven't watched all your vids yet so I'm not sure if you addressed it, but just putting that out there.

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

You are correct and I agree. I have had four different suspension setups on the car and each one has its different advantages and drawbacks. With the setup I have now it no longer wallows, rocks, or squats but on uneven surfaces the car hops and bounces. the key is understanding the trade off so that you can tune the car is handling to your specific needs and driving style.

[@willhiggins8763]

EvolutionAutocrosser what fuel? I'm guessing 93 as e85 would have maxed the turbo out on a 2.4l

[@bcredeur97]

EvolutionAutocrosser well I wasn't expecting this but I won my class in AutoX yesterday (with a stock 2001 corolla mind you lol) thanks to some of your tips on your channel. Wanted to come back and thank you. Using the entire circuit and getting super close to cones without knocking them over helped me tons! I started the day with a slow time, was expecting something 4 seconds better and I ended the day with a time that was 7 seconds better than my original time haha! And I knew there was still some more room to grow. Crazy! People were freaking out asking me how I was going so fast in my slow car lol. Was quite an experience! But thank you so much for your channel. You help people tons. Keep it up!

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

Will Higgins I actually have a dual fuel mapping. I run E85 most of the time but can switch to 93 at the flip of a switch wired into my ECU. It's pretty slick.

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

bcredeur97 man, that's awesome news. I'm always happy to hear when I'm able to help somebody.

[@mattdrifts]

would be alot better with camera facing forward

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

True. There were a lot of things I could have done better. I should make a new and improved version for 2021.

[@3g_Evolution]

You realize that just because you swap in a 4g64 block that ALREADY has a 100mm stroke.. that doesnt make it a stroker just because you put a evo head on it.

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

Good point. I was calling it a stroker Evo because it went from an 88mm stroke to 100mm stroke. But technically it's just a swap to a motor with a longer stroke. So while the motor itself is not stroked, do you think I could get away with calling the car stroked since the car is now powered by a motor with a longer stroke than the stock motor?

[@3g_Evolution]

@@EvolutionAutocrosser just re read my initial comment, seemed a little more rude than I was intending. Apologies for that And I mean I always just call it a 2.4L but not really a stroker. Awesome car though man. The bigger CI engines are so much fun for torque!! I have a 2.5L stroker with a 6766, makes 815tq it's a blast!!

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

@@3g_Evolution No worries. It's all good. 815 is a lot of torque! I can only imagine what that would be like. I'm at 465 tq with a stock evo 9 turbo and it's a ton of fun. I really need to make part 2 of this video when the weather gets better.

[@liddz434]

Neal Caffrey they make 2.5 litre stroker kits!? Holy shit!

[@rrace002]

How much boost are you running?

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

Richard Race While I'm not 100% sure, since Kevin D @EvolutionDynamics in Lewisville, Texas did the tune, I think it was around 21 lbs. On the stock motor i used to run about 28 lbs but Kevin told be that with the bigger displacement engine, I would get a larger volume of air but less psi because the stock blowoff valve would not be able to handle it. If I were to upgrade the blowoff valve, I could probably get a few more pounds in there and up the power even more. Maybe.

[@thebamgoer]

Did you do the rear diff rebuild? That'll take care of a lot of body roll.

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

The rear differential has been rebuilt and grips up a lot better. The body roll I'm referring to is mostly the weight of the engine causing the inside corner of the front bumber to lift on hard turns.

[@thebamgoer]

There's the one theory that the front suspension should be left soft (soft enough) so the front does roll, so that despite the lean, the inside front still has grip and still plays a part in traction. Instead of tightening up the front, and having the inside wheel lift so that you basically have a 3wd car around turns. Sweet car though. Yours is the approach I'm slowly taking in my build.

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

Ron Gdoer Due to the design of the mcpherson struts, the more the tire travels up, the less camber you have until you go positive then really lose grip.

[@ericc.5141]

How did he turn a rally car into a car that is best driven on smooth roads

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

Sir Eric - super stiff springs. But no worries, switching to rally suspension and a cage would make her ready for off road action.

[@ericc.5141]

I hope to get an EVO one day.. one day..

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

@@ericc.5141 Did you ever get an Evo? Don't give up on your dreams.

[@11Greatness]

You going to make the Part 2? Looking forward to it

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

Spring of 2019! Coming soon. I have the cameras and I'm ready!

[@kiroshi6414]

Sounds quiet...

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

That's only because the mic didn't pick up all the noise - thank goodness.

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

I'll be doing another "what's it like" video soon and I'll be sure to capture ALL the wonderful noise.

[@makizarco4407]

2.4 mivec isn't a 4b12??

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

I think the 4B12 was put in the NA Lancer. The Evo 8 comes with a 4G63 but when my original engine blew up, I had it replaced with a 2.4L 4G64 from an early 2000s Eclipse or Galant with the DOHC head from my 4G63.

[@sodazman]

2.4lt is only good for initial torque which suits autocross. The rev limit is lowered significantly compared to a 2.2lt.

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

Yes. It's very torquey but has a lower rev limit than a shorter stroke engine. I spend a lot of time in 3rd gear on the autocross course now.

[@joshtradamus3921]

When you gonna cage that Lan-Evo?

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

I don't plan to put a cage on it. I'm not tracking it.

[@11Greatness]

Where is part 2!?!?!?

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

Steve- O I know I'm a slacker. I owe you another video.

[@11Greatness]

Yes you do! I have been waiting!! I love your set up. How is the engine holding up since? What's new with it, left it how it was or have had problems? Make another video! Your car's great!

[@EvolutionAutocrosser]

@@11Greatness It's still running to this day. I plan to race it this year. I have had ZERO problems. New video coming soon.

[@jjsorenavki7005]

should of got a fpwhite

[@willhiggins8763]

waste of money compared to a 9 turbo.

[@jjsorenavki7005]

earlier spool, 40-50whp on top 500rpm more peak boost, ;)

[@willhiggins8763]

JazN N-Me lol can't agree with you not sure if they still make them but the power to cost isn't there.green,red,black,zephyr and zero cost the same amount power is anywhere between 400 to 700 on e85 on FP turbos.

[@jjsorenavki7005]

friends making 326awkw-437awhp on a fpwhite stock 9 bottom end with 272 cams, i have a Fpred MHI JB on Evo 5RS with nitto 2.3 making 376awkw -504awhp 29.5psi Some people get freak numbers on evo 9 turbos but a Worn one which is the case with most on cars for long miles Dont make over 360-380awhp . 9 turbos not ment for 27+ psi but some people still do it

mine is tuned by Mellon Racing 06 MR 28.5psi e85 400/380 dynojet everything stock except intake,turbobackexhaust,O2 housing,clutch,and of course non power adders injectors,fuel pump.504 is pretty good on under 30psi fp red is a monster set up on stroked motor props.
