yes! SG it is. did the blown turbos give it all away? :P how's your car holding up? in any case, i'm still eagerly awaiting shiv's reply to see how feasible tuning/flashing ecus from abroad. and how long it'll take.

i've seen your other packages on your website shiv. i'm assuming that pricing for the 9's arent out yet?

thanks in advance...

 

+1! C'mon Shiv!

 

Don't understand what is bad about that. Any other impressions with the ix? Does it pull comfortably to high speeds?

 

He didn't mean "disgusting" in a bad way. I think he meant it like, "It's disgusting how a ~$30k car pulls as smoothly and strongly as a ~$100k car."

 

 

I think I want a Vishnu tuned 9 to go with my Buschur tuned 8. I wonder if my wife will kill me

 

shiv,

so the main idea of this 9+ page post is that the new EVO 9 comes out of the factory underated at 286 hp. the true hp readings for the EVO 9 should be ~320-340. am i correct?

 

I dyno'd my stock IX on a dynojet at 270whp at 92 degrees F
Note, on the same dyno, the '03-04 Evo's were doing around 230-240whp.

 

Wow, 270whp, again proves my point that the IXs are really strong. I believe (stock) lower powered ones will dyno at 05 VIII levels, while (stock) average IXs will make more power, and (stock) higher powered IXs will dyno a lot higher than VIIIs.

 

I don't know if that is the main idea but, yes, the IXs are considerably stronger than the VIIIs, stock for stock. They also seem to have a higher tuning potential by virtue of MIVEC and upgraded turbo. Stock, with just a properly reflashed ECU, IXs can make nearly as much power as VIIIs runnning a full exhaust and cams. That was very unexpected to say the least. Equally unexpected was all the different things that one could tweak to approach max output while not sacrificing anything.

Here's my bonestock IX dynochart...Like i said earlier, '03-'04 Evo's are around 230-240whp on the same dyno

 

well im really impressed, makes me want to get the evo9 earlier. i'm new to this site and most likely a newb. ^_^ when i get it imma have to break it in, then i can flash it right? if so, imma have to do it with VISHNU! well nice to meet yall

 

Shiv, if you get the time while you are in your dyno program. Will you post on the same sheet a dyno of a average VIII that was stock on your dyno along with the Ix you have dynoed and also the Ix cam run that was zeroed out.

I would like to see on another chart a tuned IX vs a tuned VIII.

Bump for seeing the IX tuned to 93.

Thanks for posting those 2 sheets.

 

Any update on how the IX did tuned with a vishnu turbo-back exhaust?

 

Nope. We're still playing the stock car. I have some ideas I want to put to the test first The exhaust will just require simple remapping over what we currently have. The key is to get a solid foundation first with the stock car.
