Evo X mr 500whp build pump gas

ive been off this site for about 12 years and have recently decided to build another evo. So long I can’t for the life of me figure out my old log in info haha. But either way, my previous car was an evo 8, buschur stage 4 with alcohol, it made 380whp and 400 wtq. I’m looking to purchase an evo x mr and want to make 500whp on pump, anyone have any insite or concerns about doing that? Also curious for some feed back on the no manual/stick situation? Just looking to hear some people’s opinions. Thanks.

You'll need a big fat wallet and access to an amazing transmission tuner specific to the MR / SST to reach that. Much easier and safer / cheaper to try the same with a GSR. You can certainly do it, but it can backfire and cost you a lot of money if you go the MR route.

You'll want to build the trans. 10 plate clutches with some of the tricks is somewhere around $6k from Kozmic. You'll need a vband turbo kit (ETS, AMS, etc) with a precision 5858 or gen2 5558 (thes emay not hit 500, but they'll make over 450, and the spool up is very good), GSC S2 cams (or similar), appropriate valve springs, and other supporting mods (injectors, intercooler, intercooler piping, fuel pump, exhaust, boost control solenoid, etc). Of course, wideband and boost gauges are recommended at a minimum.


Get ready to spend north of $15k, especially if someone is going to be doing all of the install work for you.


A gsr simplifies the mod path a bit in that you won't even need to replace the clutch until you wear it out...lol

I got exactly what you will need.

My 500WHP Evo X MR build


It really depends on the condition of your current trans. If all you need is clutch upgrade. Its around 2500. They charge about $300-600 for valve body upgrades depending on what you want done. Its not horribly expensive but it does cost more to upgrade an SST car because the clutches are more. No matter GSR or MR you still have to upgrade the clutch/clutches either way though.

I appreciate the feed back. It would be nice to just find a 9mr and solve all of this haha.

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of buying an AWD car if you can't launch it though?
