Thank you for that list! Great to see everything laid out in one post.

Now I hope this isn't true but, I wonder if there are any totaled evos sitting in junk yards yet with most of these parts?

[MTZL]

Thanks EricJ@AMS this part list is exactly what I was looking for!
Man,. I got all the major items for way much less than listed price, so good to know I got some great deals.

Now I can just go to the Mitsu dealership order the rest of misc. items by P/N.

How about FMIC and Partlist? :D

Thanks Eric!

Thanks for posting this up, but I do have a question about this:

"MN119784 Exhaust stud x2 (these will not come out of your Ralliart turbo without breaking) 9.73 x2"

I'm somewhat concerned by this. Normally, if bolts break, the shaft needs to be drilled out and retapped for a larger bolt. Isn't this kind of a big deal? I haven't heard about this happening to anyone that has done a turbo swap yet.

[TheBlackBeast]

When I swapped a turbo on my past eclipse, there were studs that would not come out of the turbo or manifold - i forget which it was. Basically with something like a turbo that gets heat cycled to such a degree they almost fuse in there. Its usually easier (better and safer) to just get new bolts for the next application and leave in the old bolts in whatever they stick to.

[EricJ@AMS]

Exactly what Blackbeast said!

[Ladogaboy]

I understand the part about getting new bolts... I'm just not sure about removing the old ones if they stick to something you still want to use.

Well if they stick to the turbo like Eric seems to think then why worry? Are you going to use the RA turbo on your lawnmower? :)

Turbo Charged Lawnmower! Awesome! I wonder what I should do with the RA Turbo? Maybe put it in My Honda Civic with K20 Motor? or sell to Lancer GTS owners?

Hot damn! You read my mind! :D

Of course, now that I'm thinking about it, those are the bolts from the turbo to the manifold?

So how do you take it off :confused: if its fused? Take it off as one unit???
There must be a method...

[TheBlackBeast]

If you are referring to the turbo when you say "it" then it's easy. The nuts comes off the studs and then the coolant lines come off and out comes the turbo with a stud still attached to it.

I guess I'll have to see it... I cant get a mental picture...
I'll take a picture of it during my swap... Thanks...

This is really great dude. I've been looking into doing an EVO turbo swap for some time myself. I started browsing online to find the OEM EVO X parts, but also I found a host of aftermarket turbo upgrades for the EVO X. We would have to tune the darn thing anyhow so, for a few grand more we could do a lot better that OEM...huh?

[wutangmo15]

Theoretically yes. You just need to be sure you don't go over 300 torque with the stock clutch pack.

[Mondo]

Right you are!

[zeRep85]

Already have my Evo X turbo

muahahaha!!

[MTZL]

we should start a thread who all got evo x turbo or planning to doing the swap.

[zeRep85]

^Agreed :D

[baggelis]
