Thanks to Andy, we got our hands on an Evo IX for a few days of testing and development for our Harman Motive EvoIX Flash using EcuTek technology.

We dynoed the car bone stock, then proceeded to flash. We then installed a turboback exhaust system, 02 housing, and K&N panel filter and repeated.

All tests were performed the same day on the same dyno with the same car. All results are using the pump California 91 octane Andy drove in with.

Summary
Stock: 260WHP 253TQ - 17.15psi peak
Stock + Flash: 288WHP 280TQ - 22.71psi peak

Turboback: 301WHP 261TQ - 18.14psi peak
Turboback + Flash: 330WHP 301TQ - 22.37psi peak


This graph compairs the car stock vs. Harman Motive flash. Only modifications were the reflash and boostMOD (stock hoses and solenoid remain).


This graph compairs the car with a full catless turboback vs. Harman Motive flash.


This graph compairs the reflashed stock car vs. reflashed with turboback.

Needless to say, I was very impressed with the performance of the car. It's right inline with my Evo8 MR w/ cams, intake, etc.

Each map was road tested following the tune to confirm proper A/F, boost, and timing profiles on the street. All tuning was conducted using "det cans" (knock sensor and amplifier connected to headphones) to ensure safe tuning.

Dam nice numbers! Thats an insane looking power band. I was considering ecutek for my IX and now I know for sure it's the way to go.

 

Don't Evo's have knock sensers

Great #'s for having very little $ in it

 

whats with all the little peaks and valleys.....doesnt that indicate timing being pulled....shouldnt the curves be smoother?

Or am I wrong?

 

That's what I plan to hit after I'm done.

 

Congrats Dan!

 

That's just how Dynojet readouts look. MD readouts are like perfectly smooth lines with low resolution, but you see all the nooks and crannies on a Dynojet readout. Hell, that's on smoothing 5 - you should see it on smoothing 0 when it's much worse.

However, there still may be a few timing pulls in there (4700/5200/6200rpm).

 

I've had a bit of work done at Harman as has my brother, I can definately recommend these guys.

 

thanks to Dan and Harman Motive staff.
i just came back from ur shop. car feels so so so ... strong now
thanks again.
Dan hopefully i see you soon with other upgrade part.

 

oh Dan
its me Andy and all you guys in this forum..
yea.. its my evo

 

Congrats on the #'s looks like a lot of fun
So how do you like it so far? I bet it pulls like a monster.

 

Nice numbers,... like someone said earlier I'm just wondering what the tune looks like with smoothing at zero

 

Yes!!! This is what I have been waiting for, IX numbers from Harman Automotive. 330WHP looks awesome. I plan to attempt to buy a IX in the next 4 to 6 weeks hopefully. I hope to do business with you soon after that.

 

very nice!

 

could you explain this boostMOD?
