Evo 9 MR GSR tuned

Best Motoring Jan 07 tests the Evo 9 MR RS vs the STI Spec C... on the left are the stats for the Evo. It differs quite significantly from official Mitsubishi marketing literature (i.e. the latter is understated).

Here is a dyno chart of an JDM 9 MR GSR that was tuned on Saturday. Mods are open pod intake, 2-3/4" exhaust, cat delete, EVC boost control set at 1.4 bar tapering to 1.2 at peak, and ECU reflash. Figures are at wheels. Take a close look at where the peak torque numbers are generated... if the accelerator wasn't let off so early it might've made peak power at 6500 RPM.

The other interesting thing to note is that this car makes 240 lb-ft of torque, at wheels, from 3500 to almost 6500 RPM, or almost 43% of the usable rev range. Not too shabby.

Oh, as for the link to the Best Motoring vid, it's hosted on Youtube here.
