Everyone, this is going to be a HUGE event! Huntingon Beach Mitsubishi is going to clear out a portion of the back lot, and also dedicate the parking that runs along the side of the service building for us. They are also providing food and beverages. We've invited Mitsubishi, local tuners, and car medias to attend this event.

Thanks to HB Mitsu, Tony, Neil and other SoCalEvo staffs for setting up this event.

And I also got a nice sunburn also over my face and neck. You would think I would have a nice tan from all the monitors I stare at all day, but no!

Wait till I bust out the pics from the RNR shop car.

Haha..if you heard it in person, bling would be the last word in your mind. I'm in love with the RnR Evo. The thing sounded insane.

The idle for that engine is about as lumpy as it gets and it is has a GT3037 turbo that spools and hits fully at about 3800rpm.

I met the Mitsu project manager for the MR at the meet. We ended up talking for a while, so I got to grill him on the Evo MR. Apparently, the MR will be here in September, no AYC, but it will come with ACD just like all the rumors have stated. So, when Wilson gets his, we can all take turns driving i it.

What is the advantage of this?

What is the advantage of this?

Using an equal length mani will help spool up specially on big turbos. With the equal length runners merge onto a refined collector, exhaust gasses will have have more of a constant/laminar flow to spin the turbine wheel, thus creating more hp/tq at a lower rate of boost.
