^ agreed. it will def boost sales for the o-sport. its already a cool looking suv as it is. who knows, you could probably get it looking like a taller evo. i mean why not, its got awd lol.

Thanks guys. CVT is all of our curses. Even Mitsu Product planners are disgusted in a way. They are trying to help a little on figuring CVT out.

Would love to see something for the AWS CVT.
Whats so weak about it? I haven't heard of anyone blowing any up, and it's not like 100hp/83tq us that much more power....You can't really 'launch' it and since it's so smooth, i don't see it blowing up that easily.

I own an 05 evo so the whole evo X and 4b11 I don't really know about
But can someone tell me why the 4b11T from the evo with the evo transmission can not be swapped into the outlander? I would think that would be the best alternative with 300 hp and cvt

It is a doable thing with whole drivetrain sway but most people do not want to be 10K plus into the SPORT and months of downtime. Instead, 5K and a weekend sound much more likable.
P.S. Did anyone see it at SEMA?

Didn't see it at SEMA, but pictures would be good!
I'm liking my NA upgraded to around 175-180 crank HP, really wakes the car up and it's dropped just over a second off the stock 0-60 times. I'll probably be posting more data soon although I still need to do a final dyno tune with the exhaust headers and pulley for that last 3-5 hp.
If you guys can figure out a way to beef up the CVT chain so that the 4WD models can get some options I would be game for testing. Right now it's my winter and daily driver but once April hits I can play with it more since my Evo X will be back on the road. I would imagine that if the chain is weak then having the part in your hands and re-engineering it with stronger material wouldn't be out of the question. As we all know the factory would never spend extra if they knew the engine was only doing 150-200 hp tops.

I'm in the market for a Outlander since my 99 Eclipse maybe on it's last leg (might have dropped a nut in the speed sensor hole on the tranny). Can the stock clutch even hold that amount of power increase? My Eclipse stock clutch got fired once I upgraded to a EvoIII turbo. I'm hopeing mitsu comes out with a Ralliart edition with a 5-6 speed turbo.

Yes, we have about 4 turboed CVTs up and running for over a year now. We changed the formula a bit and it seems like it is working fine over the long run. Call me if you are interested. If I am out, leave a detailed message with your number and I will get back to you. We can sort out details at that time and move from there.
