So i know there is a huge debate about intake and no tune and so forth. I just purchased a 2013 Evo X GSR from as a "new demo" from a dealership in Edmonton. It had a K&N typhoon intake and hard UICP kit installed by the dealer. They told me this is something they offer with any new Evo. Of course i had already researched that intakes should not be installed without a tune, with the exception of a few that use the stock MAF and housing. This one does. Anyway, i took it home and hooked up Evoscan to do some logs, as i do not trust what i read all the time. I do not have a wideband yet, but i logged throttle position, load, knock, etc. I was mainly looking for knock. I cannot post the logs i have until tomorrow after work, which is where my laptop is. The results though, were good as far as knock goes. I logged one 2nd gear pull, 2500-7000, and two 3rd gear pulls same rpm. In only one log did it knock, 1 count on the way to redline, and 2 near redline, this was the first log. I am not an expert by any means, and i have no baseline logs to go against, but i think it is pretty safe. In my instance anyways. I will post the logs as soon as i have access to them. I just wanted to share what i found. Any input or questions is welcome.

 

Where are the logs?

 

I am sorry but i do not have them anymore... 2 days after logging my trusty old laptop hard drive failed and is no longer with me. I will be doing more logs this weekend (once my new laptop arrives) and i will post as promised. Sorry.

 

I recently picked up a gsr from Southside mitsubishi in Edmonton. I'm new to mitsubishi and I'm curious about what I should do about tuning, I'm thinking about getting k&n filter, Tomei exhaust, and a hks Bov... I read a lot about needing a tune... Not sure about my options for programmable ecu's... I need control... I'd like to hear the k&n in person though. We should meet up sometime.

 

you will need air/fuel ratio, that's the main thing being effected by your intake.

 

If you are in the edmonton area then for sure we could meet up! As for tuning, i am going to see Cam at lightspeed in Red Deer for a protune via COBB access port. COBB also has base maps for different mods to use. No need for a different programable ECU or "stand alone", just flash the stock ECU.

 

As for the logs, they are on my new computer now. Just need to be uploaded

 

So the Cobb can be tuned by a pro tuner?. I'll have to do some research on the Cobb tuner, it's a good price and a lot of people have good things to say about it. How much does he charge to tune?

 

waiting for logs..........

 

By changing the afr and boost alone will make the car drive better. I have a 2013 MR and am running peak 30psi boost of stock turbo, tuned afr to give me 350hp at the wheels.

 

30 Psi and only 350 whp.?.? Seems like a lot of boost for that amount of power.

 

How much power would you expect from a stock car, except for exhaust and tune? Car had dyno result of 178kw at the wheels, and went to 260kw at the wheels. Thats almost 50% increase in power with little to no laydown. BTW that is peak boost, not flatline. Car peaks at 30 and bleads down to about 23psi at 7000

 

only on E85

 

hey show us some photos of the car and its set up

 

Ill upload some pics when my friend gets time to take some professional shots
