Evo mapping question..... (Evo VI TME)

Hi Guys,

Ok I have decided that as i dont know any of the past mapping history of my car im going to get it done by a reputable person.


The guy who im getting to do it has told me to get -

1. an uprated dump valve off a later Evo

2. a Walbro uprated 255lph fuel pump

3. an uprated 3 port solenoid


Ok my question is this... im ok with all bar the solenoid...

I know that this one from Dave at R Spec will do the job

3 Port Boost control Solenoid For Mitsubishi Evolution | eBay UK


But i have been offered a 3 port solenoid from a Subaru for £15

Subaru impreza Classic Turbo 3 Port Boost Solenoid | eBay UK


Does anyone know if the Subaru one will be ok? im guessing that the Subaru one will be a higher quality unit as its retails for over £200 new!!


If someone could answer this question for me that would be great!!

Cheers,

Mark

a trader will put you right

I hope so mate... im assuming this is a very common upgrade im doing so im sure many on here have done it!!

whos mapping it

I have been doing a lot of research lately and from memory i remember reading the resistances in the Scooby ones is to low and may work with a resistor and is not plug and play like others

tbh compatability im not too sure about but if its off a scooby i reacon its poisen lol. for the extra get the gizmo 3 port from spec r they are much more responsive and have heard nothing but praise from them.

the mods he has said are pretty much standard stage 1 which is the best place to start, i would also say a decat for better gains

Hi Guys,

lol yeah i dont want to poison my Evo!!!

I just thought for £15 if it does the job i would be on a winner

I already have a decat and my mate has a buddy club 4 branch manifold that i might buy off of him...

Graham from Portsmouth will be mapping it.

If the scooby 3 port solenoid is as reliable as there engine it wont last you long lol

I'd stick with the R-spec one. Mate of mine uses one and it's been faultless on his Evo

ive got one in mine too ive had no problems so far but that might be cos its not plummed in yet mmmmm, but they asre good i bought it on reccomendation

Mate I'd go for an induction kit, turbo elbow 3inch all the way. I done mine recently and didn't get them two things bit I wish I did as it goes better with them.
