Vivid Racing EVO X - Part 1 :)
It seems as the new EVO X will be another race to the best for the tuner crowd. When the Subaru first landed on the US shores nobody knew what to do. When the EVO VIII landed, the DSM tuners tried to jump in, but that was not the same car. After almost 4 years of the EVO VIII and EVO IX, the competition is fierce. With the debut of the EVO X, every tuner has their mind set on being the next big thing. With an amazing showing at Tokyo Auto Salon (see our Blog Here) the race is officially on to build the best EVO X.
Vivid Racing was first to build a full JDM EVO VIII in the USA. Vivid Racing will be the first to bring you an incredible over the top build on this EVO X. If you saw our 2008 Subaru WRX then you can expect nothing less from us. In cooperation with Agency Power, we will be working to releasing many new and innovative products for the EVO X.
Once the EVO X touched our facility, we immediately strapped it to the dyno to get some baseline numbers. Throwing the Vivid Racing stickers on it, a license plate frame, and an Agency Power shorty antenna, we were sure we had some good power added there!

WOW, you guys have to be the first ones to dyno a X, how many miles were on it ast the dyno time, break in will prob show more power, holy rich afr's, thats worse than my IX stock!! Also, what's the sheet look like with a lower filter value, I usually use 6 over at IA, but with that high of a value on yours it looks very smooth? Just wondering if the power is that smooth or artificially smoothed out by the dyno. Ill be following this thread.
And thanks for posting the dyno/video/ and the whole nine yards

Power starts to dip at 6k...thats pretty early. Looks like they followed the same model as the earlier evos with rich AFR's and mild tuning. So hopefully alot can be made wit hthis car.

I have to look and see. I have a stock 07 Sti I can compare it to.
Hard part is I have to finish up a GT37R Evo 9 tune today as well as a GT37R on an STI, so I am slammed.
I will post up some dyno sheets as soon as I get a second.
If you get a chance read my impressions of the car.
ALSO I forgot to put in that they went with a 0-5v hotwire MAF as opposed to the Karmen Votex. Some may have known this but it was news to me. I am curious to MAF scaling tables in the ROM.

Glad to hear your thoughts on the potential. You pretty much answered my concerns. Much obliged.
I had a feeling that this car would be something new.
TAS def proved that.
