Rex Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Hi All,Been a while since I posted but someone has to work hard to get us out of the credit crunch A while ago I spoke to Russ at RT Mechanics in the UK (lovely bloke but never gets back to you!) regarding putting much more power to my R after we did the RICA upgrade. Basically he's of the impression the transfer box - which I must admit looks like a bolt-on afterthought - can't take the rigours of much more power.I've been told there is an American that posts here who has fitted an EVO integrale system to a T5R with 600bhp - I was wondering if anyone could point me in his direction for lot's of questions....Regards to all,Rex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javadoc Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Hi Rex. Well I've heard this too, but don't know who did it, if it was done. I'm interested in a possible swap, something more robust than the OEM unit, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfishing3 Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 wasn't chuck monkeying around with some EVO parts?edit off the project car write up.Power is put to the ground via four 315/35/18 Toyo tires through a Mitsubishi Evo VIII gearbox and drive train.

Rex Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Thanks for the replies fella's. As you can probably tell, another 4 wheeled vehicle got the better of me the other day so I'm going to bite the bullet and spend a whole load of cash to have a stupidly fast Volvo Estate. I know to anyone else that sounds really sad , but at least people here understand... Hope to hear more..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

javadoc Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 What brake calipers have you got on there Javadoc?Fronts are Winner Pro six-pistons, 336mm. Rears are stock, until I can find a way to graft on something else to the awd platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
