Not one part in the NEW MR is set to be changed out so the new MR holding 500tq may be out the question for a this coming production year . One of my close friends that just happens to be an engineer for mitsubishi is working out a deal for us to get an MR tranny if that does not happen we'll jsut buy an MR to test . The clutch can and WILL be upgraded in the not too distant future , its just a matter of us getting our hands on a tranny of OUR own or someone else we know of thats working on this issue .
awesome
I'm sure the cost would be close to that of a good clutch set-up and yes the install may be a bit more than a normal clutch but in the end it WILL be NASTY !!! After seeing the MR tranny opened-up in person I got excited because I knew right then and there just what had to be done to get it to make it hold some good power . I'm actually seriously thinking of getting rid of our GSR shop car for an MR , this may actually happen within the next week or two ...

Im sure most of you guys on here know kevinD. He is the DFW area tuner.
On the 15th of Dec. he will be back from his honeymoon, in Costa Rica. I am dropping the car off with him to install and tune a crap-ton of parts.
Here is my mod list, good for well over 400 hp and 400 tq
EvoX Forced Performance Red turbo-62lb per min
880cc inj.
HFS-5 methanol injection
ETS full pipe system; upper/lower icp, intercooler and intake
Ultimate Racing Full turbo-back exhaust
And Cosworth 280/280 cams
It is an 08' MR SST, so it should be interesting to find the limits of the stock MR tranny.
I will create a post with the Hp and Tq numbers and of problems (there will be problems)

The reason why I now want one
I just wouldn't do to a customers car what I would do to my own car , so we need a transmission or the car . We have been waiting on an affordable trans for a few months now , but it looks like we can get an MR of our own so we'll see how this plays out . Either way I'm sure something can be done .

I know the TCU on the Ralliart Lancer limits 270wtq, I thought the MR TCU allowed for higher wtq. Wasn't AMS' tuned MR putting around 330wtq?
