Okay now that I've walked you through a general guide on how to make your EVO VII a legal street monster with lots of power , in this article I'll be talking about the all new EVO X
This car is truly a work of beauty , it's the most aggressive EVO model till today , it's the most powerful and has all the new tech in the industry put in it . But I think you already know that , what no one knows yet is the maximum potential of this car , I mean if the EVO VII can reach 1100 HP at 55 PSI of boost , who knows what this new EVO can do with same boost levels ....
Although the EVO X has all the latest gizmos but it comes with the problem of being a heavier car than the older models , Although it nearly did the same time from 0-60 MPH as the EVO IX , but it's all aluminum engine has it's peak boost at lower rpm but the car handels amazingly with it's all new Active Yoke and Active Differential systems , but it some times causes oversteer due to the lag of the system in understanding the drivers commands....
So we know the the EVO X is a great car , but the more important thing now is the aftermarket products for the EVO X , I mean these stuff are the cream dela cream for any car of any make...
I'm really waiting to see the first EVO X that reaches 900 or a 1000 HP and that's done the right way , and can be driven everyday if the owner wants to do so ...
Unfortunatly I didn't gather enough info YET to make a performance guide for the EVO X as the one for the EVO VII , but I'm working on it and pretty soon I'll present one....
Meanwhile you all stay safe , drive carefully and I'll bring you a complete history and performance Guide for the TOYOTA SUPRA in my next series of articles....
Yours truly , Daemonicus.

Mitsubishi Evo Performance tips part five
Also for the air intake part , I'd recommend K&N filters with the cold air intake piping , it'll go really well with the other parts that you installed and you won't feel like the car is being choking whenever you press the gas paddle because you have a bad quality filter.
So after you install the new engine internals , radiator , intercooler , oil cooler , exhaust system , turbo etc..... after you've installed all these parts your car will be ready to go , but I recommend that you also do something with the suspension to cope with the upgrades you did ..
I pesonally prefer to install any adjustable height suspension , coilovers of any brand you want , I go with D2 ,they're cheap , of good quality , there's also Koni ....the choice is yours.. because if you're goin to the drag strip you might wanna lower your car to have more stability at high speeds and to lower the drag coefficient , but for everyday driving you don't need it that low so you'll just raise it again in like 3 minutes... no big deal....
Also better strut bars are recommended to give you better handling and to increase the life time of your chassis , the Braking system should be upgraded to bigger dics and better disc pads of your choice but don't forget now you have much more power than the stock car , thus you must have a better breaking system , an upgrade of one of Brembo's brake kits should be great , since the car originally come with one....
And the most important thing after all what you did is to reprogram the ECU , get a performance chip , boost controllers of your choice , but the car won't run with out these things , it won't even start.... so be sure that you do everything the right way to have a beautiful everyday use monsterous car at your hand.
Finally , please make sure that any of the previous modifications doesn't break the law where you live and that it's street legal , make sure that you drive the right way and don't go endangering others... and that's it :D
take care and I'll see you soon in another article about the exterior and interior modifications on the EVO ....

Mitsubishi Evo Performance tips part four
You'll also have to change the Exhaust piping and muffler , a 4 inch exhaust system will be just fine with the range of power you're aiming for , the choice is yours as for the brand of it , because there are so many companies that sell these stuff today , you can even make your own custom Exhaust system ,although it's not really recommended :D
As for the cooling and lubrication systems.... the normal oid pump should do it , no need to change it , but I recommend that you get an oil cooler , just in case because these high powered turbo engine often heat the oil too much and thus it needs a cooler just as the water does to be safe....
Changing the radiator for an aluminum one would be better of course PWR has some good radiators , or any other company that manufacutures high performance radiators would be fine , it's your own choice ... of course you'll need with the new radiator a new more powerful water pump.
Bigger intercoolers are recommended to replace the stock intercooler if you want to get high boost even at hot weather , HKS has some good collection of high performance intercoolers , but they cost a bit more than any one else.... but if it's quality you're after then you have to be ready to pay for it.

Mitsubishi Evo Performance tips part three
So you changed the Pistons and Con Rods , as for the crank shaft , I don't think it'd be that urgent to change it , but if you have the money for it and you wanna do everything by the book then get the Stroker Crank Shaft also available at RPW but take care , if you get one that has a bigger offset then you'd have to take that in consideration when buying the con rods and pistons , you don't want to end up with an Evo that has a compression ratio of 7 or something that low!!
Also try to get some high performance bearings for the crank shaft ,it'd be safer and more durable for the engine if you did that....
Okay , so now you've changed your engine internals ( the main parts ) but not all.... what remains stock is your cam shaft , injectors , valves ,valve springs , of course you'll have to change these as well to be able to cope with the other upgrades , I recommend that you use a stage 3 Cam shafts for this kind of modification because it will be street functional and it also will be a huge compitition crushing on the drag strip...
The injectors will have to be changed as well for more flow , maybe 800 cc injectors will be more than enough ... , high pressure fuel pump is essential for this high boost levels..
Also high performance valves and valve springs are necessary to handle the pressure inside the cylinders.
So to the exciting part ... the Turbo charger itself.... well... if you want a car that has 500 HP I really recommend the Garrett turbo (GT35 series ) or any similar turbo because it's really great , gives you the power you need but still it's quick spooling for everyday driving , not very quick , but not laggy as the other big turbos and believe me you don't want a car that has tons of power but that can stall if your'e stuck in a traffic jam... and since you'll change the turbo it's better to change the exhaust header as well.... getting a Stainless steel header is the popular choice and it's a good choice as well...

Mitsubishi Evo Performance tips part two
So let's start talking, if you want an EVO VIII that's more powerful than the stock car but yet still street drivable and still has a decent amount of functionality then I'd guess you'd better be aiming for a range of 500-600 HP , which will plenty for occasional visit to the local drag strip and yet the car is still pretty much usable for everyday driving.
So to reach 500 HP from an EVO VIII isn't really that hard , because this car was designed to be a monster but you'll have to spend some money to reach that target , we'll start by the internals of the engine..
You'll pretty much have to change the Pistons , Con Rods to be able to handle the power you want because you'll raise the boost and to get good reliable pistons I suggest you visit RPW (Racing Performance Works)becasue they're a company that's specialized in Mitsubishi and they produce nearly everything you need to build up your everyday use monster of an EVO , they even have performance guides for those who need it.... so From RPW you can get your pistons which I recommend to be CP pistons , they produce a wide range of pistons that are light , durable and can withstand huge amount of generated power .
As for the Con Rods , of course you need to get forged con rods , but first resolve to the manufacturer or RPW to confirm that these con rods will handle the boost you want , I mean you don't want to pay for some kind of con rods and then watch as they turn in to banana shaped con rods because of your high boost.... So I recommend that you use the Eagle forged con rods for the 4g63 engine ,they're suitable for even more than 500 horsepower so no need to worry if you use them.

Mitsubishi Evo Performance tips part one
In this article I'll be talking about the Mitsubishi EVO VIII performance , how to tune it to your desired settings and how much power you can get out of it .....
As I said in the previous article the Mitsubishi Evo VIII is powered by a 2 liter 4g63 turbo engine that produces nearly 280 HP , well that can be upgraded to a lot more , all you need to know is how much you want to spend on the car and the targeted power range you want....
you see , if you're new to the car tuning world my advice to you is always have a target to reach , don't just start and say okay I want a more powerful car and that's it , ... always have some idea in mind about what your car will look like , perform like after you've finished your work on it ,
anyway to get back to the subject , if you want to tune a Mitsubishi EVO VIII to reach any range of power you want , first you'll have to keep that range of power in mind , have enough money to buy the parts and pay for the workshop that'll do the dirty work ( if you're a capabale mechanic and can do it yourself that would be great , because you'd save yourself a lot of money ) but not everyone can do these stuff because it can get a bit complicated.
So after you have a target number of horses you want to squeez out of the 2 litre engine lets start with what you have to do to reach this......
First of all if you're thinking about raising the boost above 18 psi then start thinking about changing nearly everything in the motor , because you'll need to change the Pistons , con rods , and if you want really high boost something like 40 or 50 psi , then you'll change the crank shaft , transmission a whole a bunch of other stuff , but you would turn your car into a drag strip racing monster , I've seen EVOs reach raging power output as high as 1100 HP , but these cars aren't meant for everyday street driving....

The Mitsubishi EVO History
Okay as I promised , this is my first article which represents a personal point of view and discussion of one of the most amazing Japanese cars made ( The Mitsubishi Evo series )
First I would just like to remind you that this only represent my personal point of view , and maybe some advice for the tuning lovers and that's it ...
So to start with , I'll just remind you of the history of the Mitsubishi Evo first before focusing on a certain model .....
The Mitsubishi Evo series started back in 1992 When the first Mitsubishi Evo I was produced it had the looks of a normal sedan car with a couple of sporty add-ons but that's it ( shape wise ) it was powered by a 2 litre engine ( 4g63 DOHC turbocharged ) with nearly 260 HP ( manufacturer's specs ) but it was around 240 on the wheels , but it was brilliant , compined with it's AWD system the car was amazing , it entered few international events and nearly won them all , this was the birth of a Mitsubishi star that's going to live to our present day and this first model only sold 5000 cars ....
Later in the next year 1993 a second model of the Mitsubishi Evo was introduced it was called the EVO II ... equiped with the same Engine ( the 2 litre 4g63 DOHC Turbo engine ) but some how they squeezed out an extra ten horses out of reaching 250 HP with the same torque as the older model , changes to this model also included the body , where a range of paints were added and a bigger spoiler now rested on top of the trunk , also equipped with the AWD system which was brilliant steering wise , this model was produced from 1993 till 1995 the it's production ended to be replaced by the new car in the series .....
The Mitsubishi Evo III , was launched in August of 1995 to replace the EVO II , and this car even had more improvement , style wise , it was more aggressive , had front facelift to get more air to the radiator and intercooler , also some brakes imporvements , even bigger spoiler than the last model , and again some how they manged to get an extra 20 horses out the 2 litre engine , reaching a figure around 270 HP at 6300 rpm and 309 N.m of torque at 3000 rpm which is really good for a car that weighs less than 1200 Kilos ... also equipped with the AWD system which by that time had become a signature for the EVO and will be introduced in all of their models later on....
In 1996 Mitsubishi launched their new EVO IV which had a complete remake , the chassis was changed , complete body and face lift was done , the car now was more appealing yet more aggresive ... The engine was rotated 180 degrees for more balance , the car's Differential for both front and rear wheels was redesigned , had a new twin scroll turbo charge to the same 2 litre 4g63 engine which helped boost up the power to nearly 280 HP at 6500 rpm and 352 N.m of torque at 3000 rpm , this model boosted the EVO models to new hieghts and all the 10000 cars that were made were sold pretty quickly .... had only one downside weight wise , the GSR version weight about 1350 kg that's nearly 150 kilos more than it's predecessor...
Then in 1998 The Evo V was introduced again with lots of body work done on it and again another face lift... the car was even more aggressive now , and had some work done on the engine speically the Cams to increase their duration , the ECU was replaced by a flash ROM and the braking system had some work done on it as well.... this car was intended to be a part of the Rally world because of the new rules of that year that was set..... the turbo on the engine was improved once more to produce the same HP output but with higher torque reaching 372 N.m at 3000 rpm.
In 1999 the EVO VI was introduced to replace the EVO V with nearly the same exterior shape but with the remodeled front bumper ( now without the huge fog lights as in the previous model)
the engine however had some work done on it , speically on the intercooler and radiator for longer durability , several speical editions were found from this model including the Ralliart edition that was tuned in the UK and had more than 330 HP , the Tommi Makinen edition that was styled as a rally car with recaro seats , and other interior changes and lowered height .... it's production ended in 2001
In March of 2001 the all new EVO VII was put into production , with a new chassis base , new looks ,interior etc.... everything was changed with this model the exterior look was redesigned again , to be more aero-dynamic and more aggressive , vented hoods came as standard to increase the cooling system effeciency , while the power of the engine remained nearly the same as before ( rated at 280 HP at 6500 rpm ) , but the car had a totally new and improved differential system using a cetneral differential unit at the center of the car and redesigned front and rear differential unit that produce more accurate power distribution to the AWD system.... while another gearbox option was introduced later in 2002 offering an Auto gearbox instead of the standard manual 5 speed gearbox , but the auto gearbox was just as good as the manual one....
In 2003 the EVO VIII was introduced which was similear to the previous model , but with some exteriour redesign including the tail lights , the colors , and BBS wheels and major work done on the suspension... the engine stayed the same in the standard version but there was a couple of limited versions of this EVO model introduced that offered a lot more power including the most powerful official production evo model the EVO VIII FQ 400 , which produced 400 HP and was an amazing car regarding it's handling , acceleration and shear power , it was even faster than the Lamborgini Morcialago around the track of the famous BBC show Top Gear...
In 2005 the EVO IX was introduced with nearly the same looks as the previous model , but now it has a modified engine , it's basically the same 2 litre 4g63 turbo engine , but instead of using the normal cam shaft and valve lift , they changed it to MIVEC which is mitsubishi's variable valve time mechanism , that lead in an increase of power of the engine rated by the company at 286 HP although others ( non-official sources ) say it's more than that , it's more like 310 HP , and it makes sense and explains why the car can do 0-60 in 4.3 seconds... anyway this model stayed in production till 2007 .
And the Final addition in the EVO series to our present day is the mighty EVO X with again totally rebuilt body , engine , transmission , everything , they just built a car from scratch ...
this model has it all , and it's in a tight spot also , because it has a big reputation to stand for and you can't just make nine successful model and then make one that sucks....
many people doubted the car when Mitsubishi said that they will introduce it with a normal 5 speed manual gearbox , but another model also with a totally new 6-speed gear box that uses a technology called (TC-SST) which is short for Twin Clutch Sport Shift Transmission... it's revolutionary invented by Mitsubishi and available in the GSR model ... the engine itself is also a completely new engine , it's a 2 litre turbocharged MIVEC engine that's called the B11T which produced about 300 HP at the crank . This car has it all , luxury , performance and looks , it looks as a raging sea monster that's looking at you just before it eats you or something ... by far it's the best looking EVO from up front , the back side is another story , I wish they had made it with the same aggressivness of the front side , but unfortunately they didn't....
Anyway I'll talk about this car in another article in details because it has so many things to discuss.
for now I'll wrap up this article and leave you waiting for the next series of articles in which I'll start discussing the tuning options and different combinations for and EVO IX including performance , exterior and interior customizing as well in details ....
so stay sharp till we meet again .....

Hello Everyone
Hello every one ,......
I'm Daemonicus , and I'm starting this blog to help me to share my passion for Japanese cars specially Mitsubishi's , we're gonna be talking about a lot of stuff , including tuning , body kits , performance , best Mitsu's ever made , and hopefully you'll share your rides if have any ....
so any one who has the same passion is more than welcomed to join , comment and help me make the most of this blogging experience
As for the first subject of my blog , I'll choose to write about the most wonderful Japanese car in my point of view , the Mitsubishi Evo 8 .......
My personal opinion is that it has the most appealing looks , and the most potential for crazy wheel spinning power as well...... there are Evo 9s that are over a thousand Horsepower for those who love the overwhelming power , they handle in an extra-ordinary way with a beautiful AWD system... there's also a limited Version of the Evo that's called the (FQ 400 ) which really approaches the hyper cars performance with even better handeling :D
But I bet you already know all of that , so I'll tell you what I'm aiming to do from this blog , I want everyone who has one of those great Japanese cars world wide to share their ride with us and to comment or send a message if they want to discuss a certain model , but over time I'll try to go through all the great models that really defined the excellance of the Japanese automotive industry , starting with the famous Mitsubishi Evo ( My favorite :D ) , then the Nissan Skyline , Toyota Supra , Honda NSX , and the list goes on and on :D
But for now I'll leave you all to suggest , comment and wait for more to come
See ya
