2011 Evo X MR cracks 11's with Stock Turbo!
Dang that's flat out fast. I wonder what your dyno would look like. I was thinking about the SST earlier as my GSR sits over the weekend at the shop having it's clutch and flywheel replaced

AWESOME! As an SE owner that is still stock, this thread gives me hope for the day I mod. Parts list is done, money is almost in place...just waiting for the 3yr warranty to expire. I'd settle for low 12s but looks like high 11s might just be possible. Keep us posted! Is there a video?

need help with SST tuning
Hi,
those figures look great.
I have the same mods on my car and only came out to a 13.1 at the drag strip... my sst was slipping and launch control didn't work.
can you please help me in the sst table tuning?
thank you in advance.

Yahooo! 
So after running some 12.2x's @ 112 at the Buschur Shootout I decided to take a run at what I think is the first Stock Turbo Evo X MR into the 11's!!
What has me baffled is that I don't have aftermarket cams, tubular manifolds, or any modifications to the turbo system whatsoever. The engine is completely stock. Mod list on the performance side is somewhat light so I must have gotten a strong car from the factory. Tuning it for about 3* extra timing up top on 100 unleaded versus my 93 octane daily driver map helped keep the top end alive although it definitely started to run out of torque at 7k+ and manually shifting slightly higher had minimal gains:
Track Conditions 65*F cooling off to 60*F, about 29.9 Pressure
Best Autoshifting (1-2 = 7600, 2-3 = 7300, 3-4 = 7000, 4-5 = 7000)
60' 1.706
1/8 7.666 @ 91.17 mph
1/4 11.965 @ 113.82 mph
Best Paddle (1-2 = 7800, 2-3 = 7500, 3-4 = 7300, 4-5 = 7200)
60' 1.723
1/8 7.674 @ 93.61 mph
1/4 11.974 @ 114.15 mph
Shift points are where the trans actually shifted, my 1st gear TPS cuts back throttle from 100% to 30% between 7500-8000 which helps complete the shift. I also have a bit of TPS taken out at peak torque which seemed to help the short times along with dropping the pressures to 28 psi cold. As the night went on I started spinning all 4 tires off the line but it didn't hurt the short times too much.
Performance Mods:
Buschur 3" Crossflow Catback Exhaust
Invidia 3" High flow cat and DP combo
ETS 4" Front Mount Intercooler
Custom 2.5" Upper IC Pipe
Custom Cold Air Duct to factory airbox
Grimspeed 3-port solenoid
DW 800cc Fuel Injectors (stock injectors were at 100% IDC with 112 mph trap speeds)
Hiboost tune for 100 octane @ 26 psi tapering to 20 psi with 11.5 AFR and about +3* timing
Things to note:
Stock Turbo
Stock Manifold
Stock Panel Air Filter (Forgot to swap in my K&N from the other car!)
Stock Turbo intake and filter box
Stock Lower IC Pipe
Stock O2 Housing
Stock Fuel Pump (should be good until 120 mph trap speeds)
Handling Mods:
Aeromotions R2 Wing (set flat, didn't seem to hurt my MPH!)
APR Carbon lip (didn't seem to add too much drag)
BC Racing ER Series Coilovers 8k/10k (selling these soon although they really allowed the car to come off the line well, swapping to KW Clubsports,)
285/35-18 Hankook R-S3 Tires on Volk TE37 wheels
Cooling Mods:
AMS Transmission Cooler and Fan
Mishimoto X-Line Radiator
So I figured this was a good baseline to compare swapping in a 3" ETS MAF pipe with cone filter, Lower IC pipe and a few other tweaks. Somehow in my haste to scramble to drain most of the 93 octane and pull the rear seats to save some weight I neglected to move my K&N filter from the Outlander Sport over to the Evo. After driving home and noticing my AFR's were a few tenths richer than I remembered on this map I didn't realize until the drive home that the factory panel filter was still in the car! :computermad:
Still that just proves that even the factory panel air filter is more than capable of flowing some air, I can only imagine what I could have done with all my ducks in a row!
I have a Full-Race tubular manifold that came off my sponsor's car that was used with a GT30. I'm considering bolting up the manifold to see what kind of gains could be had with the stock turbo because this is now kind of fun to see how far it can go!
I'm also considering some good cams that would work well with the stock turbo but also need to be matched to my future upgrade turbo which I'm thinking might be an EFR 7670 to run with the stock engine for at least one season. While I like the EFR 8374 sized turbo on the sponsor's MR with the Buschur 2.2 engine, it might be slightly too sleepy for my taste with a 2.0 stock engine but we'll see.
