This should be very interesting, I've never heard of an EVO running an aftermarket turbo with out cams. I know the IX is different and I'm not even sure that not having cams will even matter, but I am very interested in the results.

I was wondering, are there any very effective cams for the mivec system yet? Once tuned, I imagine you guys are looking what, probably 450 or a little more to the wheels? Will you be running race gas, alky? Pump? I imagine that with anything around 420 to the wheels, a matching drivetrain, and some good driving, 10's ought to come easy.

If I get the chance, I'd like to show what a regular non-shop Evo IX can do with stock ECU and stock turbo as compared to this HKS-only project car. I'm thinking I could compete quite well...

Essentially, it will just end up showing what the HKS parts can do, not what the IX can do. In fact, that turbo isn't great, and no cams (or cam) are being used, so it looks like this will be a lot of money and time spent to accomplish very little. Replacing the ECU and turbo seems very foolish to me, since they are 2 of the 3 biggest improvements in the IX over the VIII.

wow, this will be a sweet project. I can't wait to see how the 9 responds to these mods.
I like the volks you choose, how come they aren't listed on the project list?
Thanks for posting the pics and info.
