Custom SPEED ELEMENT EVO9 Reflash
First some history, my experience in tuning EFI systems dates back to 1998' tuning drag race turbocharged Hondas. Up until last year before I started my business working on EVOs, I was doing mapping and product development on the Honda K series engine, my work can be seen on Best Motorings Battle of the Touge USA.
I was intimately familiar with variable valve timing tuning on the K series and thought it would be easy to port what I knew to the Mitsubishi MIVEC system.
This was not completely true.
Without getting into actual specifics, many of the initial changes on the MIVEC actually lost power on the dyno. This was both extremely frustrating and humbling as comparatively ECUflashing an EVO8 went off pretty easy, making solid gains with every change.
What you are seeing above is the about 8 hours of dyno tuning in a span of two days, and a collaborative effort of myself and Paul at EIP tuning.
The EVO9 is truely a great tuning platform, and now with ECUflash we no longer have to pay upwards of $1000 for a good tune.
Stay tuned for more developments.
We have a prototype EVO9 camshaft set in our possession, and will post the results tuned on ECUflash soon!
*note 300 whp on this mustang dyno equates to approximately 350 whp on a dynojet. All runs done on california 91 octane.

Can you give a before and after with just the MIVEC changes? I see you compare stock vs. MIVEC changes and a bunch of mods. Can you qualify your testing results shown? Thanks.
and I think some of you are under estimating just how nice these gains are. On 93 on a dynoject 350-360whp is definately possible.
It takes a whole lot more on an VIII to get 300whp on the EIP or Gruppe-S Dyno on 91
Now I want to see this car on meth

From the onset, our goal was to provide a comprehensive package for the various bolt ons we carry for the EVO9 at an affordable price.
Peak boost is about 24-25 psi.
