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!

Another wrench works just the same though. And doesn’t cost any extra money or take up room in the box.

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.

@eilertv Месяц назад

Or interlock a second spanner onto the one there. Fasten the eye, on the one "finger". Seek Two wrench Trick here on YT.

@TopflyerYT Месяц назад

However you give extra leverage you got to feel it - easier to shear a bolt especially if not a high tensile bolt. I know, it has happened to me😔

LOVE these videos. In depth and yet to the point, showing and not just telling. If I had these types of videos during my automotive engineering course I would've breezed through it. I feel like this does for car enthusiasts what Mythbusters did for STEM fields. Keep up videos of this quality and there will be many Crocs in your future.

hi , love the Snap On Tools , but please tell your apprentice to not use Chrome sockets and extensions on an IMPACT gun , please use IMPACT sockets and extensions {Black} and get some ratchet spanners on the mainifold bolts , there are great single and double flexi heads available to make the job so much easier , quicker .

@Snaponman Месяц назад

The top manifold nuts on these engines when an aftermarket manifold is fitted generally don’t have the clearance for a ratchet spanner.

@Danny84. Месяц назад

Brilliant video roll on the next one

@turbo_brian Месяц назад

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.

@5372john Месяц назад

Glad someone said it. I was thinking that was nonsense as well

@moogle68 4 дня назад

I think he was just talking about general terms when saying that the direction changes are the points of failure. Based on what you just said, he's not wrong, just less specific with what causes the failures. I think he's basically just explaining the downsides of the horizontal engine layouts vs longitudinal.

The turbos on a evo 16g 18g 20g ect.. Are old tech you could easily hit 500hp with little to no lag difference with a next gen garret or borg and wagner ball bearing turbo. also turbo yoda is taken by mighty car mods mechanic.

@vladbej959 Месяц назад

Turbo isn't really tech, thats more in the tune/management system. Nothing fundamental about turbo mechanics have changed since the 16g.

@ukwan Месяц назад

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.

@antecalic8881 Месяц назад

I feel like 380-450 is the perfect power for EVO’s 7,8,9 street/occasional track setup. It’s meant to be a mid RPM engine from the start. Anything over that is uselless, costly and less pleasant to drive.

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!!
