Brake Bleeders - Z27AG VR4/Evo III Twin Pots - M7x1.0mm - Lucas Caliper Rears M8x1.25mm

Finally found some bleeders @_@ first attempt they were the wrong size 10x1.0mm from memory.
Which funny enough is listed for the brakes.
Led to believe there are a few types of nipples for the VR4/Evo

The stock nipple was longer than the one i bought. But it still worked

I am using the 7mmx1.0mm on the front twin pots

Converting Passenger Rails to Driveside

What a crappy job, it took ages. But i got there @_@
It just lines up and fits perfect.
But i can't slide the rail back full.
Welding and angle grinding the brackets off were tricky.

M3 4.0L V8 Gpower and Evo X Spark Plug Guide and Information

After a friend got quoted over $100 per spark plug, i was curious!
So the hunt began
--- Stock NGK Spark Plugs ---
p# LKR8AP which suits a stock M3 2008-11 (4.0L V8), M5 2006-10 (5.0L V10), M6 2006-10 (5.0L V10)

--- Going Colder with $60-$100 Plugs ---
LKR8AP (stock# 4471) is a heat range 8, I believe you can go 9 or a 10 which are
R2556B-9
or
R2556B-10
* note that NGK use a higher number for colder...
apparently on avg every 75-100hp increase you go a step colder.

For a G-Power Kit (note that it is rumored they use 2 steps colder than stock):
R2556B-10 - 12mm Thread Size, 26.5mm (1.04") Reach, 5/8" (16mm) Hex Size, .028" (0.7mm) Gap, Heat Range 10
You can sometimes find a set of 8 for sub $400 (e.g. on Nengun)

R2556B Series is a racing plug, where as the original is multi-ground. A racing plug cost ~ $100AUD each

My friend has a gpower supercharger in his M3, they wanted to charge him $100 a spark plug LOL
What a joke.
Thanks to google i found and clarified the above info

ps. i cam across mentions of G Power not telling people the part number but saying they will resell them the @ $125+

M5 People:
"I sent G-Power a message asking if they could just tell me the part number for the plugs they use as they do mention they run colder plugs with their systems. Today they replied and wow, talk about rip-off!!! They replied stating they would NOT tell me the part number but they would sell me plugs. Apparently because their "engineering costs are so high" they can't just pass info. They want 125 Euro/$166 per plug!!! I found the NGK plugs that are 2 steps colder for $45. For G-Power to sell a plug for almost 4 times as much tells me their services/mods are probably priced accordingly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! G-Power will NEVER get any business from me!"

Wheel Alignment Continued - 12mm of Toe Out @_@

After realizing I have 5mm on toe on the rears my missions is to zero it. Being a torsion beam this isn't easy.
I have been making tapered shims where i rotate them slightly to increase/reduce toe.
I made two sets.
One shim created a 16mm shift in toe haha @_@ my maths was wrong on that one.
But the other shim created a 2mm change.
My goal is to slightly increase the 2mm one. Which i home will give approx 1-1.5 degree in negative camber and 0-4mm of toe change.

My other design is based on a 2 degree shim.

I have to go through all my notes and math again. I believe my errors are due to the way the machine calculates toe. I work out the toe angle based on mm toe. Then from the toe angle work out the shims.
Something is a little wrong.

Previous alignment >>>
Basically:
# Camber Before # Camber After # Toe Before # Toe After
Rear Left - # -3.1 # -2.9 # 0.6mm # -1.3mm
Rear Right - # -2.9 # -2.5 # 4.5mm # -11.9mm

Rear left total change in toe is 1.9mm; Rear right total change in toe is 16.4mm
The two degree shim looses less camber when changing toe.

Note: negative toe mean that it is toe out.
Steering wheel straightness is affected by rear toe. Due to my inherent toe the steering wheel is more like in the 1oclock position.

The left wheel was using my slotted style of shim which allows a finer change in toe.
The right wheel is using a thicker shim with larger changes.
The camber angle reduces because as i rotate the shim to increase/decrease toe i lower camber.

Anyways...here is the currently alignment

New Camber Shims

Fitting the Shims
Wheel Alignment

Got a new design made up in the hopes of cancelling out the toe.
I have made rough calculations and believe for every 1mm in toe i require a degree change of .15038degrees.
hence the 4.5mm toe i have currently is approx .73689degrees.
Based on my 15" rim.

toe in degrees = arcsin[ (toe in mm of each wheel) / (wheel diam in mm) ]
if arcsin return radians therefore
- radians to degrees = rad x 180/pi

Excel =DEGREES( ASIN( TOE_IN_MM / ( RIM_DIA_INCHES * 25.4 )))

I think my maths is right :)

Basically one design is slotted to allow rotation.
The other design had a bunch of wholes to allow for a 45degree rotation and a 90 degree rotation of the face which tapers at 1.5degrees.
I will pull out the micrometer and measure. See how all the measurements work (should be fun).

The shims were made by Kim owner of Tin Shed Machining. He does lathe and milling work for custom motorcycles and other small hobby jobs. If anyone needs his contact let me know. Great guy, easy to through ideas at. Next lil project once i have got rid of the rear toe will be some dog bones for bigger calipers.
Want to experiment with the evo brakes.

Fuel Pump EG Civic '92 - How to with Photos

WALBRO GENUINE IN-TANK ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP 255LPH HONDA CIVIC EG EK 92-99 GSS342
http://www.d-series.org/forums/diy-forum/95576-diy-92-95-civic-fuel-pump-instal.html

Found out my fuel pump died. Car wouldn't start. First thing i decided to try was pull off the fuel line and try start the car. Nothing!
If there was fuel the next thing i would move onto is spark.

Looks like the stock locking clip wasn't compatible so off it went.

Remove stock wiring. Undo the 17mm fuel line and return line.
Then undo your bolts holding the fuel lid on

Slightly different size. But zip ties will fix that!

Use a small socket to push the locking ring on

Apparently zip ties are safe due to them be petroleum?
Worst case scenario is i change to stainless zip ties ;)

17mm and fuel return. Easy enough.
Some people open the fuel tank cap to relief pressure. Or disconnect the wiring and start the car etc.
When taking off the return line you will drop some petrol.

Shortshifters Z27AG - RPW vs Stock vs Beatrush

I am yet to compare my RPW shortshifter to this one. But it looks like the swing bracket for left and right has been bent n cut up. I am not to sure on the physics of it all though. Fulcum and pivot points etc.

The one on the yellow square is RPW bracket the other is OEM

RPW shortshifter

Beatrush shortshifter

Stock

The one on the yellow square is RPW bracket the other is OEM

The plastic thingy on the left is the stock clip. Its super delicate. We used a straw to push the clips back.

The circlips and broken bits are form the RPW short shifter. A bit dodgy. It should use a rubber gromet and circlips etc

The quick shifter screw size is M10x1.25 - gear knob thread for the RColt

which is a standard mitsubishi fitting

nissan and mazda also use the same

good chance any of those will fit

---Pads - CarboTech--- CT530 XP8 over the AX6 due to track work
http://www.ctbrakes.com/brake-compounds.asp
A high torque brake compound with a wide operating temperature range of 200°F-1350°F+ (93°C to 732°C+). Carbotech™ XP8™ is the first of our racing compounds. Good initial bite at race temperatures, high coefficient of friction, excellent modulation and release characteristics. Extremely high fade resistance and very rotor friendly. Excellent as a front brake pad for lighter applications weighing around 2,400lbs or less. Perfect for track day use with any tire and can still be driven safely to and from the track. Carbotech™ does NOT recommended XP8™ as a daily driven street pad due to elevated levels of dust and noise. Carbotech™ XP8™ is a great compound on the front & rear of most open wheel and sports racers.

RC09 Club Racer is the new pad from Project-Mu for club racing and rally enthusiasts with seriously fast cars. It is a brake pad that offers the very best in performance, feel and release, whilst staying below the $400 mark! This pad really punches above it's weight and will push aside many other over-priced race pads in many race and rally applications.

RC09 It is based on the DNA of Project-Mu's ultra successful H16-03 motorsport pad which is one of the world's best race pads today. Club Racer is the pad to use of your car spends a majority of it's time on the track or in a rally at anything up to full professional motorsport.

Available in all shapes and thickness, for Japanese, European, Australian road calipers right through to GT3's and Gallardo's! A full range of motorsport shapes are also available for AP, Alcon, Brembo, Wilwood etc

H16-03 seems to be a jump up. Racing level.

As seen below the pad shape is a F533 which corresponds to:
- Ferodo FCP765
- Hawk HB214.618
- Pagid 1591
- Performance Friction Brakes 0530
- Carbone Lorraine 4072

---Pads - Carbone Lorraine--- 4072

The Carbone Lorraine RC6 Brake pad compound is designed for all race car applications. The RC6 Brake pad compound has an average friction coefficient of μ=0.5 and are very effective from cold, giving excellent initial bite yet will still not deteriorate in braking over 1000 °C.

The Carbone Lorraine RC6 Endurance is a new high performance brake pad that offers similar grip to the RC6 brake pad (friction coefficient of μ=0.46). The RC6 Endurance brake pads offer an unmatched low wear rate which can offer a large advantage in 6 - 24hr endurance racing.

---Info - Titanium Shims---
The only off the shelf ones i can find is for the GTO 4 pots (1992-1999 3000GT VR4). These also suit the R32 GTR Sumitomo brakes. From hardbrakes.com
The dimensions are 119mmx62x.5 (LxHxD)
Evo X also has some from Girodisc

Some feedback I got from my brake importer regarding titanium shims
Titanium shims is a topic that a lot of people have opinions on. I personally enquired about them many years ago and the guys from Carbotech explained to me why not to use which made sense and as a result I haven’t used them. Basically they stop heat transfer from pad to caliper yes, but this only results in the pad being cooked between rotor and caliper and as a result reduced braking performance. So my recommendation would be to stay away from them and put you money into better pads or fluid.

---Strange Fact Finding Mission---
Our brakes on a Volvo?
Before i begin a crazy fact is that the Volvo S40 / V40 '96-'04 shares the same hub mount. Hence they also use the same Evo III brake upgrade. See here >>>
For those wanting to try upgraded pads on the stock RColt then lookout for the Volvo S40 00 - 04.

Front: CT837
Rear: CT838
PM me if you want the contact within Australia for Carbotech.
I am going to get some XP8 for the rears and XP10 for the Evo twin pots. XP10s are not recommended on the road. They need the heat. I wanna go all out this time on the track.

Bigger discs thanks to an Outlander 05/06?
Mitsubishi Evo 4-8 283mm Rear Vented Brake Disc suitable for 15" wheels and over
part number MR128661 along with this dog bone MR307282 to adapt the twin pots to the bigger rotor? Seems to be a part of a 2005/06 Outlander.
I need dimensions of this rotor. It could be usable as my front disc ;) After searching its the wrong dimensions, see below...

If you had the money you could simply go Wilwood brakes from Freaky Parts

On the DSM forums I found this >>>
Are more concise tutorial can be seen here

"A few years ago I came across a post on the early evo forums about a factory rotor upgrade for the evo 1-3. Early evos use same brakes as 2g AWD. 276mm (10.9") rotor and 2-piston calipers. The RVR which is the evo 3 drivetrain factory installed in EXPO body. The vehicle uses a 294mm (11.6") rotor and the same 2 piston calipers. All you need for upgrade is the larger rotors and caliper brackets. After about ten hours of research I found the details needed to get these parts here in the states.
The bracket part number is MR307282.
The rotors come from 2005-2006 Outlander. They are identical dimensions to 276mm rotor except for 294mm diameter.
1G guys could just buy rotors and calipers from salvage outlander from your local junk yards. 2G guys just need the rotors and brackets."

Dual-piston calipers that come stock on 2g AWD is a common upgrade for 2g FWD. 1g DSMers can use the 2g twin pots even though the attacment point of the brake line is different.
1G was 1990 to 1994
2G was 1994 to 1999
3G was 2000 to 2005
But there are many models withing each series.

See here on Minkara and Here

Crazy duct system - Based on the fact that some rotor suck from the inside and some suck from the outside

People seem to be doing some convserion on the Outlander with the following parts as seen here hence why i started thinking of the change in the floating caliper bracket and rotor.

1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX Dual piston calipers

2005 Mitsubishi Outlander brake caliper brackets MR307282

2005 Mitsubishi Outlander Slotted rotors (11.6" rotor vs GSX 10.9")

I have confirmed these brake caliper brackets do fit the Colt with the Evo III twin pots.

Further my research -

EBC UPR Premium OEM Replacement Rotors UPR7336 05-06 Mitsubishi Outlander Front - 11.6"

Which i later discovered seems to match the Evo IV rotor i mentioned about.

DBA 417 DBA - 294mm

Diameter 294

Min Thickness 22.4

Centre Hole Dia 69

Bolt Holes 5

OEM Rotor for the Outlander:

DBA 2201

EBC Brake DP6954 Front Premium Organic Pads - For the Outlander

150mmx59mmx16mm (WxHxD)

MITSUBISHI EVO 1,2,3 - 1992 - 1996
EBC Green Brake Pads Front - DP2954

Found specs on the Evo III pads:
150mmx59mmx16mm (WxHxD)

Hence both Outlander 05/06 and Evo III use the same sized pads.

Extra Items
i) MR249963 - Mounting bracket. for cars with 294mm discs
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 4 CN9A with 294mm discs
Some places say 296mm discs and the mount hole spacing is 130mm
or
the evo IV mounting is 160mm and evo III is 130mm @_@
There are two different saddle bridges. Thefore 130mm to 296mm rotor and the 130mm to 276mm rotor
These do requrie 16" rims
I am pretty sure teh 160mm bridge is for the Evo IV hub as they can use the Brembos
Different mounting brackets are mention here http://www.dsm-club.org/forum/showthread.php?t=14122
where they talk about the 130mm and the 160mm relative to the 1G and 2G etc
ii) MR249656 and MR249657 - Rear Brake Caliper
Mitsubishi Lancer EVO 4 CN9A

---Caliper Mounting Brackets Explained---
MR307282 = 130mm Mount to 296mm Disc (Over Size Disc)
Outlander 05/06 requires 16" rim for the enlarged discs
Therefore you can adapt the dual piston caliper
MB618218 = 130mm Mount to 276mm Disc (Standard Size Disc)
Mitsubishi Lancer EVO 1 CD9A
MR249963 = 160mm to 296mm (Standard Size Disc for Evo 4+)
Therefore 160mm is for the Galant EA0 (EA0) Evo4-9 identical left & right

Z27AG Clutch and Rear Main PII

Previous blog on clutches and video: http://ayu452.blogspot.com.au/2012/04/z27ag-ralliart-colt-clutch-install.html

start at ~10am and finish 8pm working on a stock engine bay. Remove all component - drop gb fluid, remove axles and tie rods (this time i did not remove brakes), engine dampener, battery, airbox, 5 bell housing bolts, gear linkage cables, engine mount.

Then clutch, flywheel and rear main housing. New rear main seal, new gasket goop.

Note that the thread from the oil-pan bolts are really shallow when going in to the rear main seal housing. Almost had one pull through. When removing it i believe it stripped some threads. worst case scenario will be a future recoil kit :( or new rear main housing cover.

You can use some emery paper or steel wool to clean the crank, however i didn't do this as the scoring on the crank wasn't so bad, plus i didn't want to contaminate the oil. We weren't doing an oil change. But in future probably an oil change and a little emery paper would be perfect.

Late lunch :)

Seal part numbers MD372250 and 2960A032

Drive side axle seal is easy! the passenger side is a little hard. my 32mm socket rested nicely on the inside hard lip. Otherwise i believe a socket greater than that 36mm? that can rest on the outside edge.

Love a fresh fly wheel. Installed with 5 new bolts and red loctite. tighten diagonally. I use a rattle gun with kincrome flex bits. It suppose to reduce the torque.

Strange heat spots. Looks like the same pressure plate is used on the stock clutch and Exedy. could be using a different offset and spring to increase clamp load? Not to sure
