The BLITZ DUAL TURBO TIMER is a turbo timer unit that includes also a digital boost gauge. With a turbo timer, you don’t have to wait in the car to let the turbo cool down,

The BLITZ turbo timer will set the right idling time by itself depending on how hard the car was driven. You can also choose a manual mode where you set the time,from 10 seconds to 10 minutes.

The count down starts when you turn off your engine and at that time you are able to take off the key and lock your car.

If you release the hand brake, and the key is not on the dashboard, the engine will shut down. 

If you already have a car alarm fitted, it can have some compatibility problems as it can refuse to lock the car with the engine running, but a good installer can solve the problem by excluding one of the car alarm security system, but you still will have all the other systems work without problems. 

The fitting is easy if you get the ingnition wiring colour codes of your car,ther are 3 wirings for the ignition, one for the handbrake and one for the ecu speed signal. 

The BLITZ dual turbo timer includes a digital boost gauge with peak memory that is really accurate and is very useful especially in an evo as you can always monitor the boost level if you don’t have a boost gauge fitted.

I found that at 110£ it was better to fit the dual tt as a normal gauge would cost about 50£ by itself or even more if you want one with peak memory. 

The boost hose is really easy to connect to the intake manifold. 

BLITZ also made the full auto turbo timer at 65£, and the multi speed turbo timer

That have the 0 to 400m, 0 to 1000m, 0 to 100km/h and top speed memory functions for about 120£.

There are also the last BLITZ and HKS turbo timers that includes some more functions as battery level and gear shift indicator(the lcd monitor change colour when you have to change gear).

The standard evo exhaust systems is quiet restrictive,and you will get a noticeable improvement by fitting a special exhaust.

I have the supersprint complete exhaust fitted on my evo v rs.

If you have only the cat back system fitted, as I had before, you will get already a good power improvement and the torque will be improved too.

Whith the complete system,you will have even more power at high rpm,but you will get slightly less low end torque.

But the evo will be even faster. When you get a special exhaut,the boost pressure, that should be around 0,9bars on a standard evo, raises slightly by itself as there is less back pressure especially if you also have a special air filter. That’s another reason of the big power improvement,but you have to be careful as you can get fuel cuts if the boost pressure gets over about 1.3bars,the standard ecu limit.

The good fitting of the exhaust is really important as it could touch somewhere under the car when hot and would start vibrating.

You can also use the ralliart silentblocs to avoid that. 

The SUPERSPRINT exhaust is a complete stainless steel system,except for the decat pipe that looks like a small black silencer.

The decat pipe can also make some ticking noise when cooling down as the motorsport bikes. That’s probably because it’s not of the same steel of the rest of the system. 

The piping is 70mm and the tail 120mm.

The complete exhaust price is around 950£, It’s quiet expensive compared to others, but the quality is good and it’s tüv approved.

The sound of it it’s better than the standard exhaust, but it’s really different only at high rpm.

If you want more sound you should better buy a Japanese exhaust with a smaller rear silencer. 

There are many good exhaust systems for the evo, depending on what you are looking for. The prices are going from 400£ to 1000£.

If you go for a big pipe diameter you will have better top end but less low end torque, that is good if you want to go for big modifications as there will be low back pressure.

If you think that you will keep your evo almost standard and you like to have more low end torque, take an exhaust with a small pipe diameter.

You can just change the cat back system, or buy a complete exhaust that is only slightly bigger than the standard piping.

The HKS RACING SUCTION KIT replaces the standard airbox and the air intake rubber pipe with a very nice alloy pipe going straight to the turbo inlet,and the HKS super power flow foam air filter.

The others existing kits,as the RALLIART one, are relocating the battery at the place of the standard airbox, while the HKS kit keeps the battery at his place. The racing suction kit comes with all the necessary parts and everything seems of good quality. 

The fitting instructions are in Japanese,but there are some clear technical drawings and a list of every single bolt with his number.

The HKS RS kit is made for the EVO V and the EVO VI,and as on the EVO V the turbo inlet diameter is slightly smaller the rubber hose will be a little bit too big.

It will fit anyway, but  the hose could get used when getting old as it bends slightly lore than normal,and it’s the only hose of the kit that is not made of silicon.  

Officially the foam should not be cleaned, just changed when it gets dirty, but It looks just as a normal foam filter and as it gets dirty quiet soon I clean it usually a few times whith foam filter cleaner used for motorcycles and then slightly oil it with special filter oil before changing it.  

The replacement foam exist in many colours,the price is around 20£ each, and you can also get chrome filter cage for around 30£,but that is just for a different look. 

The kit is probably giving a few more bhp and the engine breathing is improved, especially if you have a special exhaust.

Now you can hear the turbo whistling, and you can also hear the dump valve when you release the throttle.

You have almost the same noise of a vent to air blow off valve without the idle problems and the cost, and  the performance can only be better.

The HKS racing suction kit is composed by :

-SUPER POWER FLOW AIR FILTER 

-Airflow meter adaptor

-Alloy pipe

-dump valve hose

-silicon hoses

-screw,bolts…

The price of the complete kit is around 300£, which isn’t really cheap,but the other similar kits avaible are more expensive.

For example the ralliart battery relocation kit gives you an alloy plate to relocate the battery and an alloy pipe from the filter to the turbo,but it costs around 350£ without any filter.

Then you will have to buy  the HKS,BLITZ or another air filter at 100/200£ ! Another solution that looks nice is the power engineering airbox.

I just look at some pictures of it,and it’s an alloy airbox that relocates the battery,and it comes with an alloy pipe for the turbo and all the fitting parts.

It cost around 350£ but then you’ll have to buy a filter as the blitz one at 200£.
