They also have an engine dyno, so I'm still not positive it's whp.

 

I doubt they'd pull out the engine to get it just dynoed after the modifications unless they have a way to dyno an engine without pulling it out of the car

 

Exactly; there is no reason for them to pull the motor since it is stock.

 

Can be whp no problem. But when they say PS that is mean cranck hp. They know exactly what is the whp, and they using that one too when they need it.

But what is makes me wondering that is the comparision on the bottom to the factory hp...
we know the X should be around 295 hp, right? so why is the number there 288.6 @ 7020 ?

So what i think, If this is a whp, then the X is under rated from factory. If its crank hp then is over rated.....
or might be the 19 X 10.0J -35 rims plus the 265/30 -19 rubber made the losses on the hp.
If that so ,then i'm preatty sure it is crank hp. Since those rims and tires can lead easy 7 hp loss.

conclusion /mine/ crank hp.

 

Except for the rear.

Nice.

 

I thought I was decided on silver for the Evo but white looks so damn sexy.

 

SO How much will these cost me???

HKS Kansai has posted the specs for their demo SST Evo X they been fooling around with for the past few days.
Max: 382.3 horse power, 48.9kg torque
Main Parts used:
HKS Carbon Air Ducts
HKS Racing Suction
HKS Intercooler Piping
HKS Legal Max Premium muffler
HKS Front & Center Exhaust Piping
HKS Catalytic Converter
HKS Camp 2
HKS EVC V
HKS F-CON IS
HKS HyperMax III suspension
and other misc parts[/QUOTE]

 

Thats a good question. HKS parts have never been cheap, so I am sure its going to cost a pretty penny.

The suspension on that thing gives it a really mean and aggressive look!

Im sure the non-HKS alternatives will hit the market soon which should put this at around 2-3k w/o suspension - if its whp looks like a better deal than the IXs

 

Excellent points Rob, however I have seen dyno videos which read out in PS. PS is just the "metric horsepower" standard they use in Japan. Since Kansai tests their cars at the wheels, it is either wheel PS, or, as you mentioned, they converted it back to crank PS. I don't really see the point for them to convert it back to crank PS, however. I already picked up some of the Japanese magazine video tests on the EVOX, and it does seem factory underrated.

 

yeah i cant really decide myself also. but seems to me today , the crank is more possible for me.

 

HKS and I are about to become good friends. I wish there were videos of these

 

If you think HKS hasn't had the engine out yet, you don't really know what HKS is. Of course they've had it on an engine dyno!
