maybe it depends on what country your from. our evo VIII have lower power 195kw (276hp) and 355nm of torque at 3500rpm. our evo IX have 206kw (286hp) and 355nm of torque at 3500rpm as stated on the mitsubishi website. i've only driven the 8 from the dealership before purchasing a IX, to be honest (not thrashing the cars) there is better low down power on the IX whether its the turbo or mivec. cant comment on top end as i havent used above 3500rpm yet ( still breaking the engine atm) and never need to driving on the limited speed roads here. having a fast car being limited to speed is an issue but im getting under 10litres ber 100km which is better then what they saud about fuel consumption. in the end wether its the mivec or the turbo, the XI is a better car out of the box. from a modders point of view i dont know. you guys are lucky with the option of RS/IX/MR models. we just have the standard XI however our XI is basically the MR model without the BBS rims and blistern suspension. we have the aluminium roof, fogs, leather. extras are the rims and suspension, vortex generator which cost alot of $$$

 

No IX gets 80wtq off just a flash either. Our torque peak comes from boost, not from the MIVEC. MIVEC provides BROADER torque, not a higher torque spike.

 

Tuning.

 

ROFL!
nice ownage, wow so much misinformation around. this is almost sig worthy

 

this is great seeing all the evo owners get along

come on we own the same car

 

Oh I, well not 80wtq, but 50wtq, which is more then a stock VIII gets with a flash.

The member who started this thread had a IX w/ TBE and got 80wtq, off just a flash, as have other IX onwers with a TBE. I've never, never seen a VIII w/ TBE get 80 wtq off just adding a flash.

 

Do you see a before and after dynograph? No. I've never heard of any other IX gain 80wtq with only 50whp off those 2 mods either. For all you know, his stock torque reading wasy very low. You can't base this entire argument off some text a guy claimed when we have no dynographs to show the difference. You also don't know how much they increased the boost. We get mega torque from boost, not from MIVEC.

Also, why do you keep saying this is with just a flash - you've said it several times. This is a flash in addition to other mods, such as a full exhaust.

 

IX, stock, gain of 50wtq with just a flash

I can find more if you want, Warr

Edit: I found more.....

IX with just a TBE, gain of 53wtq with just adding a flash

VIIIs don't get these kinda torque gain with just a flash or flash & TBE, period.

Even if you don't beleive, that the MIVEC tuning doing its work.

 

I was talkin bout both...

A IX gainin 50wtq of just a flash

and

A IX gainin 80wtq off a flash and TBE, no other mods.

 

You can find more what? That's 40whp and 50wtq, and Shiv even said it dyno'd lower than most IXs before the flash. The flash overcame the deficiency then added normal flash power for a IX.

 

The boost is still raised whether it be from the flash itself or the reduction of backpressure by the TBE. Try to think things through a bit more. You still don't see a dynograph of this claimed 80wtq gain, nor do you know the before/after boost profile, nor the starting numbers to see if they were lower than normal for some reason.

 

Here is a dyno chart of a IX with a TBE, gaining 80wtq with adding a flash.

You can argue till your blue in the face, it doesn't change the facts.



This is from my above post, click the line for boost and AFR.

 

I also see Al gettin' around 330 HP & TQ with with just a Flash, TBE and MBC on pruvens dyno, which, IIRC, a stock IX is around 270 +/- 10 HP & TQ, which is a gain of 60 HP & TQ.

A VIII doen't get a gain of 60wtq from those mods. It's the MIVEC.

The HP gain comes from the better turbo.

 

What the heck does conveigh mean? Did you mean convey? If so I understand now.

 

Well I am glad you unerstand now.
