Not a lot of pictures or updates on it as the interest here was low.

we know they made an auto for the evo. but if you feed that trans any real power they seem to fail.

The TCU is a standalone unit that only requires a few inputs from whatever ECU the Evo is using. Andrew's is a stock computer, mine will be a stock computer for a bit and then something standalone, the White Evo is undecided, and the 4th test car is a standalone already.

Existing driveshaft and front axles will work.

Aaron, Do you need another Guinea Pig? I would be willing to test one on my personal daily drive that has 460hp on pump with stock motor and stock ecu!

With the manual valve body you tell the car what gear to be in. You have to shift just like it is a manual but no clutch. If you stop and forget to downshift, when you take off you are going to take off in 3rd gear instead of 1st. If this option could be made for this project then you'd have a complete winner in my mind.

I don't know how aaron's evo trans works. However for the DSM's you can make a harness that you give 12v and plug into the stock trans connector. You can then use the stock shifter to manually select first, second, or third. To get overdrive you need to close a switch but I think you get the point. No manual valve body work, just unplug stock TCU connection, plug in the harness, then dyno the car in "manual" mode.

Right now we have one of those already. If we need to test more combos I will put out the call though. Right now we have the following-

2.0L VIII 11:1, stock turbo
2.0L IX, Red that made 430 as a manual and 520 on E85 (going back to E85)
2.3L VIII, 3586
2.4L IX, 3794

The last 2 are both over 800whp so thats really the test bed. Anything that makes less than it will survive if they do.

Unfortunately its not a DSM style, that would make things WAY SIMPLER.

Is there a manual valve body option? So the driver desides when to shift?

Yes but not manual valvebody. You can still manually shift the car like normal if you want and we are working on making a sportronic shifter work from an outlander or lancer OZ. Still looks stock but give us "manual" mode. If nothing else a B&M can be adapted or the stock shifter assembly, which is fugly (stock to be clear), can be used for the same purpose.

I'm getting excited, I've been thinking about this everyday Great things are on the horizon for Evo's in all realms of racing.
