Here is an interesting thing I was told by the guy doing the FQ mapping. Mitsubishi has been very helpful to him in mapping the Evo x but they contracted nippondenso to develop the ECU for the evo x and Mitsubishi does not have direct access to the original code. Interesting I say

Yes I plan to have a FQ-360 flash in the future. They expect to have a reliable flash ready to release by august. There is huge pressure from Mitisubishi UK to get a FQ-360 SST developed A.S.A.P they have a test mule running the re flashed ecu and the listed mods producing 360 hp but until it has done a few thousand test Kms then they will not release it in case they get more error codes. It looks like the the fq series in the UK is a joint development by HKS, ECUTeck and Mitsubishi.
keep us all informed on your SST progress.
That is the dying question isn't it? for the US owners especially with gas prices nowadays.
5 speed evo's and 6 speed EVO's suck in the freeway (3.7 -> 4K) when going 75 mph -> 80 mph...
6 speed EVO IX actually get's less gas mileage than the 5 speed which didn't make sense.

Hi Long time between posts.
I have now fitted the Ralliart pipe and inlet kit. here are the pic's. I have not gotten it re dynoed but there was a noticeable improvement No error codes. The things I like about the kit are the larger cast aluminum turbo outlet and the cast aluminum inlet.

Hey NZEvo X. Great post, lots of good information. I am in the process of ordering a SST JDM Evo x. I saw a lot of clips on you tube. Now that you have an exhaust, would you say your car sounds like an automatic from the outside when accelerating? I face a lot of traffic on a daily basis thus i think i am ready to give up a clutch. I must say, i have waiting for a post such as yours to clarify some concerns i had here.
