There are much bigger cores available for the VIII and IX, but the X has less space, but does utilize a much more effective endtank in/outlet design.
I still haven't installed it yet, but I did weigh it this weekend. It came in at 20.4 lbs. which is really light considering the size of this core. For comparison, the Perrin (cast end-tanks but a little smaller core) comes in at 22 lbs. The ETS 3.5" is 21 lbs. (sheet metal end-tanks and a fairly small core by comparison) and the AMS is 20 lbs. (cast end-tanks, medium size core).

My pre-install impressions of this thing are great! Nicely designed cast end-tanks, good quality core, and lightweight. Assuming this things fits well without trimming I plan to urge MAP to get this thing into full production.

Thanks! The cast end-tanks are really nice; very smooth internally. Looks to be a very quality core as well, it's a Bell which supposedly ETS uses too.

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!

Rmondoh semi-debadged my trunk today, removed the "MITSUBISHI" and "Lancer" badges leaving the Mitsu logo and "Evolution."

I think I also finally figured out my exhaust rattle during hard left turns...looks to have been rubbing against an AYC line so I bent it out of the way slightly. We'll see once I get a chance to take a few hard corners.

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!

Damn fine job if I do say so myself

It looks better in person though. I'll take a good picture for you at the Dyno day.

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!

Better semi-debadged pic from Rmondoh yesterday.


Strapped down @ Cobb, put down 313whp/300wtq.


I'll get the dyno chart posted later this week.

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!

Dyno charts! I'm happy with my low-end spool and top-end above 7k RPM, but my midrange is ultra weak so I need to figure out why.

Nope, just not convenient for my life. I'm not going to drive out of my way for an E85 station 3 times a week; I just drive too much w/o a station convenient to me.

Lookin good! WGA crank mod will likely get you where you want to be, but it'll take away some of the linearity of the power curve. I don't think you'll be complaining

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!

More new stuff to install...



I got it uncoated so I can try a coating place in Arlington, TX. Nothing against MAP's coating, I just wanted to try out a local shop since people have been saying great things about it.
