Hello all!
Im Tepi from Finland and i have been lurking in this forum a while. I want to share this project to everyone. Im little bit mitsu fanatic and own some mitsubishis, so of course i own few colts
This project name is LoCostColt because its build with leftover parts. Its going to be "trackday" car.
Now i have build this 9 months and i have drived this on few trackdays. Now the summer is over and im going to fix and register this car in the winter time. In last summer it have 4g63 NA motor, 2G maf, lsd, some evo suspension, 2-1/2" exhaust, vr4 fuelpump, turbo ecu and injectors, running in e85. Last month i have building another motor. Its 6 bolt turbo with eaton m62 SC But lets start this build thread....
2012-2013 Winter
Started this project:
Towed from snow banks to garage
Washed properly ( yes i had support beams )
Stripped & washed inside
Purchaced 4g63 NA motor and transmission:
Installed e33 gti knucle that i can install double piston brakes and bigger disks (evo1). Also i installed D2 struts.
Welded some rust holes. 12! actually and this job isnt over yet...
2013 summer ->
Turned 1.6 flywheel and also installed 2.0 pressureplate on it!
2.0 Engine & transmission going in. Also i rebuilded transmission and installed 1 way type clutch pack lsd.
Exhaust:
In the track. I drived same times as evos in windy track. It was still missing some power because i didnt have time to dial afr:s and ignition. But it was fun.
Trackday driving:

Purchaced supercharger. Its is from some mercedesbenz model.
SC was missing pulley so i had to install/ fabricate support bearing, pulley, etc.
SC installed
Bypass so it isnt making boost in partitial throttle.
Testing:

So i was on dyno with this and session was little bit dissapointment. It is missing some boost on higher rpms. I think belt is slipping. It is only 5 row serpentine belt. I need to make another crankpulley with takes 6 groove belt.
It made 200hp and almoust 300nm torque. Torque comes in very low rpms. AFR was ok and i advanced base timing couple degrees because im running on e85.
200hp 300nm

So car is in this state now. Now i have to look where i do find missing boost pressure and then im going to overpaint car ,fix rust holes, register etc.
