hey been lurking here for quite some time already. Looking at a new evo X as my next car. I wanted something AWD and turbo was heavily looking at a new body style sti. After doing alot of reading sound like the EVO handles mods better and has factory forged pistons too.

This isn't my first turbo car been playing with boosted cars for quite some time. previous ride was a 94 mr-2 with a gen 3 3s-gte. made 291 whp on it. Also owned numerous b series hondas, and a couple old supra's.

I have a questions about the evo X hopefully some one can answer.

1.) I live in canada sask. I understand the evo needs to be tuned to respond to mods well. The closet tuner would probably be a whole province over and quite the drive. How are the cobb Off the shelf tunes for it right now??

 

Ah guess this forum doesnt get alot of traffic. Is there any other major evo x message boards out there?

 

search.

 

They have proven to be very successful as long as you follow the modding path required for each stage. This board also has a few good and reputable remote tuners you can work with once you outgrow the OTS maps.

 

These remote tunes have show to be succesful? Im assuming it works like an email tune?

 

Given a good professional tuner, then yes, they can be successful. Basically you email them a log, they email back a ROM...and you do this for a few weeks. Nothing with beat a custom dyno tune by an experienced and skilled professional tuner though.
