Its pretty easy to do, somewhere I still have the hack on a CD. Kinda wish the hack was allowed the AUX video input as well, but the hack isn't configured for aux input. Doah!

Have the link with the instructions and download for this hack? Mine has been updated to 2010 maps which I assume also updates the firmware, any compatibility issues regarding updated firmwares and this hack that you're aware of?

Check to see what version of the firmware you have this is most important to getting the hack to work. On the MMCS hold down set + navi for 5 seconds till the service mode appears, then select version information it should be in the top right corner of the first page.

Also you can add a larger hard-drive and customize the screens from here:

Lastly the best parts of the MMCS, is the lap timer, customization's for the wipers/turn signals/alarm system/lighting, and service reminders. Keeps track of all the fluid changes, tires rotations, etc.

That is pimp.
There is no way it could be retro'd into a 8 or 9?

I suppose anything is possible, but it would probably be a whole lot easier just going with an aftermarket setup in the 8/9. I just wanted everything to be completely plug & play, retain all steering wheel audio and Bluetooth control buttons, and keep the factory Bluetooth mic rather than having to add an aftermarket one which is why I stuck to factory. Plus, the factory dash bezel is much nicer looking (and better fitting) than the aftermarket install kits are.

Yeah i thought about that after i hit post.
P&P is awesome, great mod. That is cool that they offer all the controls still so that you are able to do this. EVO X looks more appealing everyday i swear.

Do people race these as much as the 8/9? Do they turn as good?

The 8 and 9s had this option everywhere else in the world, along with electronic HVAC/climate control and power folding mirrors. Mitsu just gave us the shitty stripped-down Lancer interior.

The problem is that you'd need to swap the dash and interior harness to fit it, and finding a wrecked Evo from another LHD country (Russia, Germany, etc) is probably pretty difficult.

They turn better.

Indeed they do. My X is quite a bit more nimble feeling than my IX was.

It really is a fantastic car; I love daily-driving it and am very happy with it even after 2 years of ownership. There are quite a few guys out there that track them on a regular basis (road course, auto-x, drag, etc.).

turbotalon1g · 06-13-2012

From what the guys are saying above ol spaz. Sounds like I need to ride in a few more X's been looking at 9s, but the price is too much for a 6, almost 7 year old car. Plus that head flow on teh Xs =

**Kracka** · 06-13-2012

Clean used IX's are holding value incredibly well, you can get a used '08 X for barely more and is what I would personally recommend, especially if you intend to daily-drive it. The 2010+'s have a few refinements each year over the '08, but the market reflects that in the used values. One cool thing about the '08's is a fairly large number of them were delivered to dealerships "fully loaded" with navi, aero, and the sport interior package.

**asshanson** · 06-13-2012

Wow, that looks awesome in comparison to the old setup (I had to look at page 1 for reference). Nicely done, stock plug and play upgrades like this FTW.

**Kracka** · 09-30-2012

Retuned...

MAP short-runner exhaust manifold ---> MAP ported/SPC coated stock exhaust manifold:

-3whp/+10wtq
413whp/384wtq
I'll get an before/after overlay soon.

**Kracka** · 10-03-2012

RED = MAP ported exhaust manifold (SPC coated)
BLUE = MAP short-runner tubular exhaust manfiold (SPC coated)

turbotalon1g · 10-03-2012

Crazy you make that much power on 93, badass.

You think the short runner might perform better with a bigger turbo or more RPM?

Looks like the ported does perfect for everywhere on a street car.

Most likely. The only place the short-runner showed an advantage was in the upper RPM band. With these results, I'm going to stick with porting as my recommendation for stock and smaller stockframe turbos.

**Tachyon** · 10-03-2012

Looks like an intelligent decision.

I agree, thank you. I should have just done the MAP ported from the beginning...

BLUE = PPI "extreme" ported
RED = MAP short-runner
GREEN = MAP ported

**scheides** · 10-03-2012

Damn! That or you should have gone to a long-runner instead of the short-runner mani!
