Default Evo X on the dyno....

.... from another site....

We've been flat out working on installing our new Dyno Dynamics Rolling Road at RC Developments since Xmas, and this weekend is the first time we've been able to get some cars strapped down for a power run.

We were fortunate enough to be lent a brand new Mitsubishi Evo X to see how it performed...

Wheel Horsepower & Flywheel Torque


Boost & AFR

Very dissapointing, you can see the X is mapped to throw in so much fuel after 3,000 rpm, and it really falls on its face. The boost is very high with a 1.7bar overswing, but then also the turbo really runs out of puff very quickly.

However, from a tuning point of view, we will be able to extract a lot more performance from this car on a basic remap and stage 1 package

Lookswise the Evo X is not very nice at all in my opinion.

What is it with the japs
One minute they get it so right with the looks, then they go and get it so wrong
Think of any rice rocket and compair say, the mk 1 of said car to the latest one
Oh and this latest twitchypussi concretes what i am on about and we dont have to go back that many models !!!

Like the look of the front. Back & Side look so so. Looks wise I wouldn't have one over a 8 or 9.

That front end just gives me the urge to want to photoshop some Knightrider lights to it...

It's not nice.
