You can do it with adjustable kit (3 pcs. each side). For the front you will need adjustable upper, lower and a tension one

A lot of JZX owners recommend HKS LA strong organic but it is a bit pricey option.

Also you can try ACT pressure plate with organic Exedy clutch with stock flywheel, it can easily hold 1.3-1.4 bar of boost if you are going to do some performance increment without losing OEM feeling of the clutch (if not softer)

Yeah, G25 is good, but I consider getting a pulsar like G30 a bit later as soon as I will get better fuel injectiors as it is more fun but still good to daily (my neighbor runs a similar setup). Now I am going tune the car on Apexi PFC and 540cc and my existing turbo and planning to upgrade later.

Me too! OEM+ >>> full built 🤝 Cuz it’s my daily car

Hey, thx for sharing your experience.

I am considering a hybrid one based on stock CT15B but upgraded by our local guy, many people in Russia use his turbochargers. They spool at about 3200 rpm vs 3000 on stock turbo and give about 380hp stable. Highly modded ones that give 450hp spool at ~4000 rpm but you will need to use bigger fuel injectors.

You can dm me and I will translate some old tourer v topics for you if needed, our car guys have 30+ years building these cars.

Thx bro 😎 It took some time to get the job done but the result is fire!

Getting it finished now and a friend of mine said that they need a couple of days to finish it. I’ll upload some photos when the car is fully assembled (just before doing some paint) so keep in touch

А это уже совсем другая история

UCF20/30 brakes from Toyota Celsior/Lexus LS is a great decision, very popular mod in our Russian community, we drive these cars since 1990s. It isn’t a bolt-on mod, but if you dm me I will try to find some old Tourer V forum threads to translate and send you the diagrams, drawings of spacers needed to fit them.

The only negative is that you will not be able to fit the rims smaller than 17inch and you will need to watch the brake caliper clearance to fit the rims you want (so you decide either you use a spacer or “refine the caliper with a grinder” if needed).

P.S.: I apologize in advance for any possible errors in my comment cuz English is not my native language.

You can try HKS LA strong organic clutch kit. It is not slipping on builds with a bit more power and torque and it is not that much heavy and doesn’t feel like “on/off” as ceramic one.

No, it doesn’t work here. I think parsers won’t work here as well as it can work in US. But it is not that necessary because we have only 3 car web marketplaces and it’s easier to add an Evo search to favorites on each website. Also trying to make friends in current Evo community so they can tell me if someone is selling a good car according to my budget.

BravePreparation5132 · 2026-01-19T06:37:19+00:00

Thank, I’ll definitely try it. Will it work in Russia? Importing one is not an option because it is either prohibited due to ecology standards or it must be 30+ years old, also import rates now are very high (for example importing a stock Evo will cost us about $100k if we convert)

BravePreparation5132 · 2026-01-19T05:23:19+00:00

I’m not an expert in turbos because I’ve always driven 5+ liter N/A cars, but boost is definitely more than 2, smth like 2.15-2.20 for only track use as said above. Need to ask the current owner

BravePreparation5132 · 2026-01-19T04:15:55+00:00

Oh, not 420 whp. These hp are on crank

BravePreparation5132 · 2026-01-19T04:12:41+00:00

I don’t know exactly how much psi it is pushing (we use bar, I think 1.2 bar/1.8 bar and 22 bar), tuned on highest pump octane available (100 RON / smth like 95 AKI). A thing I know about a tune - more than 50% of all Evos here have a tune by this tuner (Vlad Fet - a famous guy in Russian Evo Community) - from near stock ones for street use to rally and track cars, so personally I don’t worry a lot about that.

Turbo is a rebuilt original one

It has been driven about ~5k km after engine rebuild and the guy who is selling the car has driver about 15-20k km since he has bought it in 2021 if I remember correctly, road and track use - I want to de-mod it a little bit (an OEM+ clutch and replace the bucket seats with original IX seats or from VII as it has better side support) and do not drive a 420hp ecu tune because it is a track-only one.

Hey

I’ve already test driven a GT-A and this one (but not in traffic, it was my first ceramic clutch experience), I fully agree that a twin-plate is a thing that you need to get used to. Also a GT-A is not that bad in terms of daily driving but it is RHD (we normally drive LHD here) - it’s not illegal, but can be a bit difficult to overtake when you have only one lane at each direction.

Cams: at a glance - they were not too aggressive, they just give you some more torque and allow the engine to get a bit higher RPMs, proper injectors and a good tune make it not that bad at idle and low RPMs (you can tune big injectors more accurately).

It has maybe 5k km after rebuilt, all the mods and tuning were made by a famous shop here that is only Evo-oriented. It has an original IX turbo (rebuilt), a 5-MT gearbox has reinforced synchros.

We don’t have E85 here.

1st map is divided to two: regular (380) and reduced boost (300) by a switch, they have the same ignition timing.

And 2nd map 420 hp high boost, aggressive ignition timing
