Nice :coold:

Can't wait to see that car go down the track ohnoes:

 

[PhoeniXDownVII]

It's still a mitsubishi. :sadance:














LOL JK JK JK, I saw the anger in your eyes you two....

988 HP is cool, 633 torque? I like the deletion of the rear wing, if only that car was actually something worth looking at...it'd be complete!

 

[GSXXXguy]

Its all good, you guys can hate mitsu all you want, I'll still sackride them til the day I die.

How do these EVO trannies respond to mods? AWD is so hard on a transmission I'd imagine, especially as you double/triple the factory power output. What about the clutch too...? :sadance:

Is this 988rwhp going to last more than a thousand miles? :ugh2:

 

[PhatIBP]

all they need is a bigger turbo and the 1100 mark is reachable

I imagine that the tranny they are using is far from stock, but I think its still a mitsu unit. I do not know.

I think the problem lies in the driver and his/her lack of skills. Lets see a raise of hands of how many people blip the throttle when downshifting to save syncros and clutch.

Or a show of hands to see how many young evo drivers are dumping the clutch out of the hole instead of easing it out.

As far as how long a mitsu awd tranny will last with 1000 hp going through it. Not sure, never done it myself. Call AMS, Buschur or John Shepherd and ask them how long their transmissions last for in a 900 hp car during a season of racing.

If you've owned an AWD DSM before...chances are your tranny has held up fine, unless you're constantly dragging at 500+whp.

I used to go through a tranny every 8-10 months in my old GVR4, I now beat the piss out of the Evo and it's never skipped a beat.

Nah, no problem. I expect nothing less. I'll still rep the three diamonds no matter what.

It is a 2.X 4cyl after all...

I'm not crazy about the fighter bomber look, but most purpose built drag cars aren't very pretty to look at.

Which are the runners so long, was this done for turbo fitment purposes? That sucker probably wouldnt have fit inside the bumper

 

[Troux]

I bet you could stab someone with the power curve. Dyno graph?

 

[GPTourer]

It certainly looks that way to me.

That sucker probably wouldnt have fit inside the bumper

Or you mean between the engine and radiator and still get optimum fresh air.

Last I checked its a Shepard trans.

 

[martel317]

D.A.M.N.


i remember that other video of the evo jumping off the dyno. i wonder what it would look like when a 988 evo jumps off lol. i always wanted an evo. i want one more and more every time i see one. i would have to say it's the most impressive car i have seen. in a veeeeeeeeeeeeeeery long time. it's capabilities are almost endless.

 

[diambo4life]

Its also easier IMO to support/brace the turbo (or manifold) at that position. Less TQ, the better it is for the drivetrain.

Impressive work as always from AMS..

 

[mk3ownZ]

awesome work, should be in the 4digits soon

 

[john91709]

Damn!

 

[91T4]

Damn, you can see how much air that IC mounted BOV is letting out when he lays off the throttle.

 

[wtfx100]

Now back it up and do it on a mustang dyno.

 

[Eggy]

1000 is so close. It will be a memorable day for Evos everywhere
