Strictly Modified Re-flash + 130 ft lbs and 104 hp
We're still pretty new to Evolutionm, and are very eager to prove ourselves among the EVO community. Our goal with this dyno test, is to show how an average customer's car can be transformed by one of our re-flashes.
The test vehicle is a 2006 Mitsubishi Evolution IX GSR. The vehicle has 18K on the clock, and is mildly modified.
-Invidia O2 housing, full 3 inch turbo back exhaust
-AMS front mount intercooler and lower pipe
-Intake with K & N air filter, 255 lph fuel pump
-Stock cams, injectors, and UICP
All the pulls were made on 93 octane pump gas. The base line pull was achieved with stock boost levels, and no tuning done. The closest we could get the car to stock boost was 17 psi, steadily climbing to 20 psi at red line. The Evo IX put down 290 whp and 243 ft lbs of torque.
Boost was then turned up to 23 psi, falling to around 21 psi at red line. After some tuning of the fuel and ignition maps, the Evo IX put down 334 whp and 320 ft lbs of torque - a gain of 44 whp and 77 ft lbs of torque, but we're not done yet!
We then began modifying the MIVEC settings. This is where the Evo IX turned into a torque monster. The graph below shows our hp and torque gains through just MIVEC tuning.
As you can see by the graph, the gains were impressive, and spread throughout the entire power band. A peak gain of 31 ft lbs of torque was seen at 4,300 RPM but at least a gain of 20 ft lbs was seen all the way from 3,600-4,900 RPM. In this same area of the power band, a gain of 20 whp can be seen from 3,800-5,200 RPM, the most impressive jump in whp was 30 at 4,400 RPM!! The gains were also evident from 6,000 RPM to red line, as 20 whp and 15 ft lbs was gained in this 1,200 rpm section of the power band.
We then adjusted the fuel and ignition maps to work with our newly improved MIVEC map to complete the tune. Everything was performed in this order so we could see specific improvements with just the MIVEC tuning. The graph below shows our overall hp and torque gains achieved with the re-flash.
Peak torque jumped 108 ft lbs, while the biggest gain of 130 ft lbs can be seen at 4,250 RPM. A peak hp gain of 46 whp can also be seen along with the most impressive gain of 104 whp at 4,450 RPM. Gains were broad throughout the power band; At least an 80 whp gain was seen from 3,600-5,600 RPM, and torque held strong with a 100 ft lb gain from 3,500 all the way to 5,150 RPM.
All of these improvements were done without sacrificing any reliability or safety with the tune. Such safety features as knock control and over boost protection are still integraded in with all of our re-flashes. We appreciate the support and look forward to being there for all your tuning needs, from a Apexi S-AFC to a AEM EMS.
Re-flashes available for the Evo 8/9/10. Any further questions feel free to e-mail or pm us.
Thanks,

Yep your absolutely right, 46 whp and 108 ft lbs peak. The biggest gains were 130ft lbs at 4,250 rpm, and 104 whp at 4,450 rpm. The car was dynoed on a dynojet at a local shop that we are in conjunction with.

Nate,
I understand your situation, power to you man
!! As far as the custom tune goes every car gets its own custome tune, we dont just download the maps that we have saved here and call it a day. The ecu program is used to do every tune.

btw, what stock parts would you recommend to be replaced to get the most power out of the X without sacrificing the daily ride quality? So far (im sure you know) im starting with all the pipe after the turbo...(DP, HFC, MidPipe, Axle back)...I have a drop in works filter as well. any recommendation?
Thanks again Cisco.
