Bringing Ron’s Wrecked Evo Back to Life… Can it be Saved??

Now that Ron’s down to just one white Evo RS instead of two, it’s high time to start putting it back together. Needs a new frame leg, a total engine rebuild, new bodywork, and a big ‘ol diet if he’s serious about Gymkhana GRID competition… easy, right?

Yes, once upon a time Ron had TWO of the exact same car. He loves Evos: uzpost.info/vision/video/ncikkJOVf6qsi5c.html

we don't have an unlimited supply of cars like this, every time someone like you fixes one instead of just reshelling it is a gift to every lover of the cars.

Kwezzy 27 kun oldin

Agreed

Jester's Toybox Oy oldin

Couldn't agree more! They can always be saved with enough elbow grease. Love seeing Ron save this Evo RS ❤️

This is the truth. 240s are a perfect example, I remember only a few years back before I even had a license I could go look up 240s and find some clean ones/shells or whatever. But now that I could maybe afford one I can’t even find a clean one and if I do it’s overpriced. Ofc that’s also drift tax but still

Sam Cerwinske Oy oldin

That’s why the great guys at B&M Performance are so amazing. Restoring Evos for the past 10 years

Thump Er Oy oldin

What if I rebuild them, but never sell them, and instead drive the hell out of cars and trucks?

I know I'm late to the party but our evo has a 2.3L built by Curt Brown.(which I just looked and apparently are permanently closed) We have it paired with a precision 6466 twin scroll. 550hp with a nice fat torque band running on e98. With that setup we are also able to push to 850hp and 680tq.

shleGomio 6 kun oldin

Sick that you fix it. That isn't that bad to trow that shell away.

Liam Foley 7 kun oldin

I’m not sure if you’ve found an engine builder but MA performance is who I’ve heard of building some awesome evo engines. I know Adam lz used them so maybe they can help you out

David st 8 kun oldin

Car is only tipped. Easy fix I don't know how u ever considered parting it out 🤔🤔🤔

Have rob 3d cut you a tube frame, and chop the front.

seibon ! nice to know for the local ! always a drag to findout something is wrong once at home

Oved Appr 12 kun oldin

by the way if you do a good job on electrical cable ? dont sweat it . your car will behave power wise ! did you know that almost all vehicule on the road run in protection mode because of electrical wire touching . my big rig ( international a26) was running at 34 pound of boost ( variable geometry turbocharger ) i have airgapped ton of electrical wire , no programming , and it it run at 39 pound of boost ! it when to the dealer . to have the cluster reinstall the program . why ? because the darn wire touch . but i do not want to disassemble the dash to airgap the wire ! electricity is very lazy and the international electrical cable installer at manufacturing plant ? he or she is about .00001 % less lazy then electricity ( yep very lazy )

Oved Appr 12 kun oldin

tagging is a good idea. also airgapping wire isa an excellent idea . no electrical cable holder made of metal be it in the engine or outside ! ground in the oil ! big wire dont touch with each other big wire or small wire. small wire of alternator ore startor also need to be single like the big wire ! washer of copper for anything holding wire to the alternator , battery or starter . airgapped properly ? i think you should have a nice time with your beauty . the main cause of rage for car ? always some wire touching ! ideal ? negative wire cant touch to positive wire ! doable mainly in those i mentionned next best is to make sure small wire dont touch chassis and dont use metal clamp to hold wire ! why manufacturer dont do this ? because it cost about 500 $ for car maker to do it this way . 50 dollars in part and 450 dollars in time ! ya , ton of wire touch !

I'm upset Ron didn't film his manline run in the evo lmao

bruh the ending about quarantine is a MOOD XD

Luke Branco 13 kun oldin

nice!!! thats looking amazing. hows the motor coming?

isaac Shively 17 kun oldin

Pretty sure you can't plug harnesses into the wrong spot... You know because they are all different sizes and shapes, but hey do you Ron

atm0706 17 kun oldin

If you want the fastest powerband, you need to say fuck you to Garrett as a sponsor and go Borg Warner EFR.

Sam Hesgard 20 kun oldin

Tube the front end

Edwin Winkel 20 kun oldin

Videos of Ron reviving his Evo came out just as I got my Mercedes back I crashed in high school, couldn’t be better motivation

FLIPxBEAR 21 kun oldin

Amazing so far!!! Can't wait to see Ron put the motor in in 2 years 😁🤙🏽

Eduardo Garcilazo 25 kun oldin

Anything that's racing/track will never be durable. Got to pay to play such all.

James Wathen 25 kun oldin

As far as engine build goes, I'm running the 2.4L 4G64 with and FP Green, forged internals, built head. Engine is overbuilt for my 470whp, but so far I am happy with where my powerband comes in at and how far it carries for time attack. Plus with the over-engineered engine, I can jump up to 600whp safely (if I ever feel the need for more power in time attack). Seeing another Evo resurrection makes me hard to wait for Streets of Willow next week. TRACK DAY!

dirtmatt 25 kun oldin

Hooking up the trailer to that dry hitch made me cringe

CHRIS KRAMER 25 kun oldin

do a 2.3 since your motor is still good. Reason people go 2.2 or 2.4 was the availability of 64 blocks

CHRIS KRAMER 25 kun oldin

had a white rs. miss that car

Soarer Garage 25 kun oldin

ah shit... I have 2 of the same cars....

Alex Crouse 26 kun oldin

Worst case, you tube the front out.

Jordan Henderson 27 kun oldin

Send it to SHEEPY!!!!

FD4LIFE 4life 27 kun oldin

Yes an evo rebuild in 2021. Unreal

Kwezzy 27 kun oldin

I’m excited about this!! Carbon fiber doors! You’re going crazy!

Krasskeeper 27 kun oldin

Just send the engine to Subi Performance --> billet block for some more boxer power

David Cottrell 27 kun oldin

Going through the same thing with my evo 8 damage the same side and full of rust, engine being rebuilt to about six hundred Bhp but just love the car, could have bought another evo but that’s not the point really.

daniel nash 27 kun oldin

Where the hell is the donk

Recruit_Life07 27 kun oldin

I like the dedication, chassis might be bent but proceeds to buy full carbon panels.... That why we like you ron

Evobros 28 kun oldin

Buy my Evo 8 RR rs

John Christian Mariquina 28 kun oldin

Its so sad to see that evo like that Have the thoughts of swapping it rearwheel drive?

Rory Caracciolo 28 kun oldin

TUBE FRONT END!!!

How much $ were the carbon doors?! Savage. I want!!!

D'Arcy French 28 kun oldin

Buys carbon doors to save weight, keeps the heavy stock sub frames 😅

Addison Kirtley 28 kun oldin

So excited for this thing

ant p 28 kun oldin

Enjoyed it

Ryan Emigh 28 kun oldin

Coyote swap it

aspie19 28 kun oldin

4G63 engines are really boost driven . I'd suggest a cheetah or fleece ( digitallyly ) controlled vgt from the duramax/Powerstroke turbo . A holset turbo can either be analog ( boost pressure ) or digital ( electronic servos control size of turbine ) . You won't have as large of a high end however you can potentially get a huge flat torque curve And 747 jet plane spool up sounds !!

Angel Gomez 28 kun oldin

2.4 bore to 2.6

Moe Taku 28 kun oldin

Camera dude getting way to excited about hooking up a trailer.

Geo Martens 28 kun oldin

Looks great 👍

Shane Williams 28 kun oldin

Its a racecar now. If the front it tweaked too bad then tube chassis that bitch

asambi69 28 kun oldin

Just get it up and running, don't be a Scotto lol. Then Improve the areas you think need it..but drive it.

asambi69 28 kun oldin

Frame doesn't look that bad tbh.

asambi69 28 kun oldin

Hey man tagging wires isn't just for noobs. Even the pros do it. You leave a project for a couple of weeks to do something else...come back....saves you a whole bunch of time figuring crap out.

Junes motorworx 28 kun oldin

Should have to go for compound turbo setup or twincharge setup. Checkout insta : @cho_dspec

Allen Lippiatt 28 kun oldin

do a srt 2.4 swap

Mustafa Rahmani 28 kun oldin

Get in touch with English Racing up in Washington! Best Evo shop out there!

Dead Reckon 29 kun oldin

Y'all're getting carried away with the editing, I love it. I also love seeing junk being brought back to life, and let's face it, to 9/10 people, this car is just parts. But hey, 9 / 10 people leave really cool stuff at the Pick N Save (Pick And Pull out there? Pick N Pay? Pull your own damn parts because this is America and we work for our junk?) junkyards for us less lazy folk to pick over.

Jared C. 29 kun oldin

Ron, thanks for fixing this the correct way instead of a lot of other youtube trash that's out there. Good cars take good work.

Owen Louks 29 kun oldin

A whole month since donk reveal.... Who knows how long since the Camaro

safedriver1979 29 kun oldin

Love these cars, always awd!!!!

Dan H 29 kun oldin

pls build a diesel f250 6.0 or 6.4 that would be awesome

Synthetic Danimal 90 29 kun oldin

Just tube chassis the front end. Chop off frame right by fire wall, then weld in some plates and make it all tube. Super light and gets rid of that mangled frame.

IdLikeAnEvo 29 kun oldin

I love your point of view ! Never make that car a 'parts car' even if something happen to it after all the new modd (I hope not) and your tired of it, any condition contact me , i'll take it ahaha. godamn dream car right there !

Finlay Stewart 29 kun oldin

put a RB26 in it

Tube front end to help with weight reduction

John Strong 29 kun oldin

G25 550 is what you want for insane torque 500hp is close to the maximum rated 550 for the turbo but they come on super early

SolidSith 29 kun oldin

whats a rabbit hole without a tube frame front end.

Dazza as 29 kun oldin

As a die hard new Zealand born car guy I fully love that you guys own a Holden ute 😁

rmanly1473 29 kun oldin

Speaking of project cars. You remember when the guys was building that donk that disappeared? Good times.

Co Oliver 29 kun oldin

I've been working on cars for years I still label stuff nothing wrong with it

Stinger427NGX 29 kun oldin

Being a race car, was tubular front an option instead of frame straightening? Love the carbon front.

RIVAL 29 kun oldin

big step because this means the car is SAVED! hell yeah brother ! after this car is done i would lock it away . only take it out on nice days and a wise man once told me watch your intake temps .

czarli 29 kun oldin

YO @ 9:10 why no on could stand on your bumper .. some team you got :)

Get danger Dan in there to tube out the front chassis... Keep all body panels to maintain stock look

maperformance or ets. Those are the best in the biz

Rashard Smothers 29 kun oldin

Tube front end !!

R3DLiFE 29 kun oldin

2.3 would probably be best bet for 500whp wide band and anti lag for sure !

You can hit up RS MOTORS, just a recommendation. or try MAP. RS Motors is in Minnesota though but it might take a while to get there. If not thanks for reading this.

Tyler C. 29 kun oldin

The guys you need to talk to are at Haltech - specifically Scott.

Lucas Warren 29 kun oldin

You need a Garrett G25-660! I'm running it on my Subaru and I make 400+ on pump gas with 90% of torque from 4000-7500rpm. On E85 it would make an easy 500+

FatalReactionPB 29 kun oldin

Hit up Buschur for a built 2.3, forced performance for a green or black series turbo n call it a day lol

Knives 29 kun oldin

Glad to see Ron back on the channel!

Ron got the best taste in cars.

Jannick 29 kun oldin

Don't buy a new shell, you could go full ham and build a tube front or even all tubeframe riley stair style! It is completely insane and a ton of work but really cool! Build a pushrod LMP style evo.
