*NEW* 603whp / 503wtq / Full Spool ~3300 (http://www.mitsustyle.com/forums/showthread.php?p=418236)

Well, we've been selling Evo X products for a while now (we actually make several of own in house) and previously had to rely on our local MN Evo X owners for any product development or testing. As our plans for the platform have expanded significantly we decided to bite the bullet and pick one up for ourselves.

I found this beauty at a dealership in Madison, WI (about 250 miles from our shop) and simply couldn't ignore the fact that the previous owner only managed to put 13,9XX miles on it in over two years! The body is pristine and the only flaw I could really find was some curb rash, but the stock wheels will be coming off soon anyways ;)

We've got big plans for this project, which is also my daily driver, but I can't spill the beans just yet. This thread will document the entire build process including installation guides, tech articles, and dyno results. Below is what we're working with as a baseline on 91 octane, it's hard to tell but this thing is super rich, a tune alone should yield substantial gains. Your comments and/or suggestions for the project would be greatly appreciated :)

My suggestion....2.3L overbore motor :) I think AMS is working on one but we know it will be uber expensive. Design a cost effective one.

Or use the 4b12 motor to make a hybrid Evo X design with 2.2-2.4L of displacement that can still rev.

I am excited to see where this goes.

Nice project. GGX sounds/looks dirty as a word.

I'm sure they will come up with something good, it looks like the mitsu crowd is finally starting to embrace "stroker" motors.

Who'd want a X? I hear they are slow and expensive to mod. :D

Sweet. Good luck with it, and it'll be interesting to see where it goes. You said it's your DD, so I'm expecting it won't get too nutty?

My only recommendation would be to run a 100mm throttle body.

[Shane@DBPerformance]

Is it 100% stock?

I'm expecting it won't get too nutty?

Naw, just means he'll have 10 guys working on the car to minimize the downtime...and all of the parts choices will be bizarre, depending on which vendor gives him free stuff.

Basically just like the Evo X in Modified magazine. ;)

[Goat Blower]

Is it 100% stock?

That's what I was wondering, seems a little strong for being completely stock. Although I wouldn't be surprised if the X's are more underrated by the factory than the 8/9's.

Project GGX huh? What did I win off the Facebook comment contest?
:)

I thought about this more....the current power level.

This seems to be at or around the '10 and '11 stock power level with the better tune. Do they have a new updated flash out now (the dealers) that they put on the car?

Still trying to figure out how the hell it made that power stock, lol.
