I always assumed it was the same MR suspension. At least it seems they implied that on Top Gear.

i didnt know it had a gt35.....what is the a/r on it? anyone know? i thought it was something more like a 25g.

i love that video with the lambo though, there is a guy in my area with an orange gallarado and i always mess with him. he never does anything though, but i cant wait to see the look on his face after he finally does.

Does anyone know what BOV is used in the FQ-400?

Don't forget that the FQ's and imports in the Asia-Pacific region have Active Yaw Control, which stateside evo's dont have. It makes a huge difference on the track.
I wonder though if it is possible to buy and install AYC on local evo's. Has anyone ever done this? The hardware should be available overseas and the casings in the body should have no clearance issues. I would think that it would just be a bolt on procedure to do. Correct me if i'm wrong.

wait... does AYC really make that big of a difference? I've heard plenty of minus' but never hear about the pluses. no one ever goes "oh i love my ayc" mostly its people saying "i love my car now that i have mechanical diffs" or "i hate ayc" "its too unnatural feeling" "it breaks all the time"

not to mention on the evo ix the rear suspension was lowered to keep ayc from interfering as much as possible.

It will not fit with the USDM gas tank. We have an extra 2 gallon capacity.

wait wait wait,..... if i want my IX to handle as good as the FQ in that video,.. I will need a AYC???

it might not go into the Evo 8,.. but would it work for the IX?

or does the IX has it already?

oh yeah,. what the hell is an Active Yaw Control anyways?

I thought for my IX to handle as good,.. that MR's suspension, (or good aftermarket shocks) would do the trick or close to it.

None of the US EVO's are equipped w/ AYC.

AYC is achieved by utilising a torque transfer differential which is controlled by various sensors and an electronic control unit (ECU) to enable a difference in torque to go to each of the rear wheels.

by increasing the level of torque to the left rear wheel and reducing the torque level to the right wheel, it is possible to change the yaw movement of the vehicle. This in turn will cause the vehicle to steer inwards and reduce the amount of slip on the front tyres, thus resulting in reduced under-steer. It also works if over-steer occurs.

Best way to see a diff.....is get on GT4 and play w/ it on the EVO.

Turning it up -> when you left off the throttle around a turn...the car immead Turns in and too much almost Oversteers w/o giving it throttle.Crazyness!BUt BRILLIANT!

The FQ 400 would cost 300k if it were sold in Brazil ... 200% more than in the US!

No. Just lots of driving school. Even the most base model Evo in the hands of a trained driver is amazingly fast at the track.

If you are using the video clip for comparison towards the end of the clip Clarkson states you can buy the low end evo and get 95% of the thrills the fq400 gives for 1/2 the price. If you really need MO' POWA just add a few things and a bit to the suspension/brakes. Then most importantly tighten the nut behind the wheel.

The absolute best reference for the entire "FQ" series of cars is the British "Mitsubishi Lancer Register" website.

The difference is that the FQ-400 has forged internals, a huge turbo, and all the associated mods needed to get the most out of them. The 400 crank HP that this set-up puts out is VERY mild. There's literally tons of room to grow. Just by cranking the boost, you can safely pass 500 crank HP. Some of the guys on MLR.com have topped 600 HP on their FQ-400's without touching any hardware.

When you take a stock Evo VII, VIII, or IX, you might be able to reach 400 HP without opening the engine...but that's pushing it pretty much to the max. The 4G63T in the FQ-400 is just getting started where stock Evos top out. There's tons of room to grow.


That's not really a fair comparison. A totally stock Evo VII or IX will cost you around 30,000 pounds sterling. For the same car, you're paying $30,000 US dollars. Cars are much more expensive in the UK. And, don't forget, the prices in the UK include V.A.T., whereas our prices are before taxes. If you were able to buy an Evo VIII MR FQ-400 in the USA, the price would probably be closer to $50,000.


Wrong. Sure, you can have a 400 HP Evo IX for maybe a few thousand in mods. But the FQ-400 is a whole other animal. Call up Vishnu, AMS, Buschur, or one of them and get a price quote for the forged internals, turbo kit, Motec ECU, 6-piston Alcon monoblock calipers, and all the dozens of other trick bits that went into the FQ-400. The 6-puck racing clutch alone would cost more than all your Vishnu mods put together!

This is basically a 600 HP car.
