Case Study # 110 and 111 - Evo IX's with basic mods
Here are the two best running evos I have tuned to date
Both cars are Evo MR 2006 IX modified by Buschur
One is a BR330 package - air intake and cat back exchuast with Ecutek tuned ecu - customer modification (test pipe)
The other is a BR350 package - air intake, fmic pipes, cat back exhaust with Ecutek tuned ecu - customer modification (fmic)
BOTH cars use on on board boost control - no MBC of boost modification other than ecu settings and both cars are running very low conservative safe boost levels

I wanted to say how MUCH I admire the care and effort that David Buschur places in these cars
They are picked up from the dealer in an enclosed trailer and taken to be modified.
The attention to detail, care and caution that is used is impressive
The kits are well tought out, work great and really create a fine machine that anyone would appreciate
I wish they would post up some pictures from the engine bay in the BR350 car - the work is so clean, and well thought out, David's design is almost like automotive art
The fact that its all done on a very resaonable and inexpensive price point for the customer and delivered with a full warranty is amazing
In fact the cost of the mods is just added into the original cost of the car with your monthly payment
When I was lucky enough to drive the IX BR330 car it was the best running evo i have driven to date. Everything works like stock or begtter than stock - no modded car clitches problems or issues of any kinds what so ever.
In every way this set up is an improvement without any draw back of any kind.
Next up - I look forward to tuning some Evo IX's with more modifications so we can see the true potential of this amazing machine.

Or what is causing that?

The TQ curves are normal for most evos - with the exception that they spool up much faster and harder than previous evos
The MIVEC is mostly about faster spool up - and better driveability - it odes not add power up top - I tried various settings and you cant get any additional power after 6,000 out of the MIVEC

Hopefully it wont be too long till we find someone who is headed in that direction
The intake cam may be a hurdle that will hold us back for a bit - more on that soon
