1995 Mitsubishi Evolution III - D-Low Evo - 164
Checks out a stealthy Wanganui streeter that’s all about the go.Don’t know about you, but we hate it when we get smoked at the strip by a stock-looking car. There are the taunts from your mates to put up with, of course. And the knowledge that you’ve spent a whole heap of money and still your ride isn’t as fast you thought it was. Then there’s that sick feeling when you know you’ve been done by some guy who just loves the fact that his car, for all that it looks like a factory-floor special, goes like stink.
Andy Glasgow’s Mitsubishi Evolution III is one of those cars.
Andy loves driving cars hard and wanted to create a tough street ride with the ability to cut loose at local hill climbs or on the drag strip. And being a staunch fan of fast imports since ages ago, Andy had done his research into what needed to achieve his end goal.
The Evo was a repossessed vehicle, minus engine, before Andy got his hands on it. It wasn’t in the best condition but he could see the performance potential.
Because Andy didn’t plan on racing with hopes and dreams, he was on the hunt for a suitable block to start building a rock solid bottom end. Over the next few months a forged bottom end package was put together and the various parts bought to get the car running.
For a year or so it ran the standard Evo ECU and drive train, and provided Andy with hassle-free motoring. The build started to get serious after Andy installed a Link ECU; the new power and torque got his modifying juices flowing.
The following months saw several turbo and exhaust manifold combinations tried but none was satisfactory for any notable duration.
The Evo had serious overheating issues and had three head gaskets replaced.
Andy learnt an important lesson, one we should all follow: try to get all your engine work done at a single workshop. When things go wrong with a modified motor and you’ve had a few companies involved in the engine building process, no one is willing to take responsibility.
After finally getting a package that worked, Andy hit the Masterton drag strip and by the end of the day was holding a 12.5-second time slip. No one reading this magazine will be surprised to learn that the urge to go faster took hold.
Andy began compiling a set of go-fast enhancements, ranging from a large Garrett turbo to a fuel system capable of emptying a full tank of gas in no time at all.
The car eventually found its way into the capable hands of Warren at PPRE, where it was fine tuned, and where a dash of extra power was found via some intricate headwork.
Arp Head Studs - News
Engine: 4G63T 2000cc four cylinder, JE pistons, Eagle rods, ACL race bearings, ARP stud kit, ARP rod bolts, Kelford 272 cams, titanium retainers, Beehive valve springs, OBX adjustable cam gears, Gates cam belt, 5-inch intake K&N filter, Garrett GT30/40
A couple of initial questions: Considering the two-bolt main (with ARP premium main bolts or studs) and 93-octane, what would be the compression ratio and max rpm? What do you think about this setup so far? I know more questions will come as this build
The introduction of boost required a lower compression ratio, so a 9:1 head spacer was fitted. The factory internals were deemed strong enough but ARP head studs and rod bolts gave a little more insurance.
This BOSS Shindoa Level III Power Package also features IMRC Plates Delete, Forged Manely 9.0:1 Pistons, Manley H-Beam Rods, High Performance Rings, Forged Cobra Crank, Forged Block, ARP Headstuds, Cometic Gaskets good for 30 lbs. of boost.

Looking for a game cause a friend needed my ARP head bolts so I sold them to him so I thought I would move on to bite the bullet and get cramps because I'm going turbo. The block is a block of 04 + 5.3. Reasonable offers won't be turned down. Preferably BRIB but, since they're fastners one or two cycles of the fastners wouldn't be a problem. Thanks guys!
