The big spec Evo 9 MR RS some of you have seen is finally finished 🫡

A massive achievement for me and my team at WMD - EVO

Only 6 years ago I was working on my driveway at home 🏡

Now we just turned one of the rarest Evo’s into something super special 🦄

No stone was left unturned on this one 🤯

Stripped back to a bare shell for a full underside and engine bay refresh 👨🏾‍🎨

Every part on the car has been either upgraded, refreshed or cleaned👌🏾

A true 900bhp capable engine built properly by @sam_connaught 🧏

Coupled with the full @turbosmarthq package including a 6466 turbo, wastegate, fuel reg, blow off valve 💥

Controlled by a @link_ecu G5 Voodoo Pro along with all the sensors to keep the engine in check ☑️

Utilising 3x Razor PDM’s to run the entire car via a fully custom loom which we tailor made to the car 🧐

WMD exhaust manifold, full 3.5” turbo back exhaust system, intake pipe, boost pipes and more 👨🏾‍🏭

The interior was brought up to date with the sleek @haltech UC-10 dash and the sharp @coolerworx NSP shifter ⚙️

Tuned by me on our @mainlinedyno hub Dyno 👨🏾‍💻

We finished up with 730 @ the hubs which is around 850 flywheel horsepower 🔥

More to come from us get in touch if you want your car built properly 💪🏾 #WMD-Evo #evo #4g63 #evo9 #4g63t

This Mitsubishi Evo MOVES… and sounds absolutely incredible!

How much horsepower do you think it's making?

David or Goliath?

Truth be told, he had me on every dig race BUT this is No Prep.
It broke again after this 🫠🫠🫠

The list is too long for here but eternal thanks to:

@street_racers for tuning

@sam_connaught for the engine build
@t7designltd for the fuel system

A little precision work on the 3UZ-FE valves.

Valves being refreshed and reshaped, ready to go back into the engine.

Nothing beats watching proper machine work being done.

The Lexus 3UZ-FE V8 is back from the machine shop!

Block refreshed and checked
Heads nice and flat
Valves refreshed

Massive shout-out to Connaught Competition Engines @sam_connaught in Sittingbourne for the quick turnaround and getting everything sorted for us.

Now it’s time for some shopping!

Forged internals, bearings, valvetrain… time to start getting some parts in and turn this pile of engine bits back into a 3UZ-FE!

What parts would you use for a serious 3UZ build?

Red Car and a Red Sign, must be fast then 👀😆

Popped in to see @sam_connaught at his company Connaught competition engines today to collect the @rtmg_performance uprated DQ500 flywheel he ordered in for me .. this thing has had every weak point of the oem flywheel addressed so it's a solid outer and inner ( no need for billet centre)and the internals have all been upgraded to handle 1400Nm ( more if needed! ) the springs are a progressive design so will be smooth and silent and lower loads/ normal driving and won't shit itself when shown 800Nm ... looking forward to getting this fitted by the lads at @badger.5.ltd and i know for a fact @gazz22z can't wait to pull that DQ500 off again 🙈

Ended up sitting at Sam's for 4 hours chatting away with @r20_george and @brandon2093 , not like any of us can use the cars in this weather but good times with good friends 🙏

Random pic of an Evo at RaceWars this year at the end , was pretty quick on the day 😂
