Here are some more information for Downpipe Evolution Evo:

The 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR (also know as MR Evolution or MR EVO). The MR EVO is one of the finest all-around street performance cars available. This is attributed to its affordable price, (you can get a used 2006 MR EVO for about $20K-28K) its AWD system and its 2.0 liter, 286 horsepower, 289 ft-lbs torque, 4-cylinder engine.

Modifying the MR EVO presents many options as there are a plethora of race companies with parts available. There are certain points on the MR EVO that should be addressed first. MR Evolutions come with many factory placed restrictions. These OEM restrictions were put in place to make the car safer and more reliable for everyday driving. Unfortunately, these restrictions keep your MR EVO from making the most power it can. Below I have the top 5 tuning tips to unleash the true power of your MR EVO!

#1 High-Flowing Air Intake Filter

The MR EVO has the largest stock turbo in any of the Lancer Evolution line-up vehicles. The stock air box is extremely restrictive and a simple air intake replacement will free-up lots of power. The turbo itself will spool up a lot faster, decreasing turbo lag. Gains of anywhere from 8-15hp should be expected. Performance intakes for the MR EVO are very simple to install as well.

#2 High-Flowing 3 Inch Downpipe

The downpipe is one the most crucial parts of any turbocharged car. Upgrading your downpipe will increase loads of horsepower and torque throughout the RPM range. Your turbo will have enhanced spooling characteristics as well. What does this mean? It means that not only will your turbo spool up faster, but your overall boost curve will change as well. When it comes to the MR EVO, the most important place on the exhaust is immediately after the turbo.

#3 High-Flowing 3 Inch Exhaust System

The OEM exhaust on the Lancer Evolution MR is very restrictive. Upgrading the exhaust to a full 3 inch unit does nothing but good in terms of power. Not to mention that sweet exhaust tone that the MR Evolution can make. You will notice an immediate increase in top end power along with a beautiful exhaust tone in the upper RPM. With a variety of styles and finishes available, you can add a little personality to your MR EVO.

#4 High-Performance Clutch

The Mitsubishi Lancer MR clutch is not bad, it just gets bad when you start adding more power to the car. The clutch is must for any MR EVO with performance parts. In my experience with tuning MR Evolutions I found that when the car starts producing about 300hp to the wheels the clutch must be upgraded. When upgrading the clutch you should always replace the flywheel with a lightweight performance version as well. Not only will your clutch hold the power your engine makes, but your overall horsepower will go up as well!

#5 Digital Boost Controller

Boost is one of the most important aspects of the MR EVO. Raising the boost level of the Lancer Evolution is one of the most effective ways to increase horsepower and torque. I have seen a 1 lbs increase in boost result in increases of up to 10 hp! Imagine when you increase the boost by 2, 3, 4, or 5 lbs? Not only that, but a digital boost controller will increase the spool response of your turbo as well. Controlling boost is also crucial if you plan to do more modifications in the future.

There are many options for tuning the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO MR. But these top 5 tips will start you in the right direction to be on the winning team.

Mitsubishi Malaysia - The Fact About Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X Engine

The meat of the CZ4A Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X engine is the HKS GT3240 full turbo kit which includes the HKS GT3240 turbocharger, an HKS GT Racing waste gate, and HKS GT downpipe system and full HKS stainless steel piping. The turbo inhales through an HKS Racing Suction Kit Reloaded and has its intake charge cooled down by an HKS R-Type intercooler and aluminium piping kit. Last but not least, a trusty HKS Racing SQV blow off valve takes care of preventing compressor surge and all waste gases are taken care of by a HKS Hi-Power exhaust system.

Cooling the 680bhp power plant requires some serious equipment and cooling equipment doesn't come more seriously than the finely crafted ARC aluminium radiator which works together with a HKS low temp thermostat, Billion Super Solid Coolant lines and Billion Super Racing coolant. Also helping to keep engine temperatures down is a HKS oil cooler kit which is mounted strategically behind the front bumper.

With all the hardware in place, a new, more capable ECU was needed to run everything properly, so Garage R fitted a HKS F-Con V Pro standalone engine management system, along with all the required air pressure sensors and a HKS 3 bar MAP sensor. Also fitted is a HKS EVC boost controller to control boost levels, as well as a Carbing oil catch tank to trap oil vapors and an HKS Circle Earth System to optimize the flow of electricity throughout the car's electronic system.

With a car that packs 680bhp, you'd need an adequately sized brake kit to cope with the speed. Even the standard Brembos are no match for the wrath of 680 horsies, so an AP Racing brake kit was fitted with 6-piston calipers on the front and 4-piston calipers at the rear. This Mitsubishi Evo X's contact patch with the road has also been significantly increased with fat 18 inch Weds Sport SA67-R wheels bolted to each hub, wrapped in equally fat Yokohoma Advan Neova AD07 tyres which measure 265/35R18 in size.

Inside, the interior's been given a makeover with carbon fibre trimmings and panels. The Mitsubishi Lancer carbon fibre treatment extends to nearly every part of the car's interior, even the steering wheel! More functional additions to the interior include the trio of HKS DB RS gauges which display boost pressure, oil temperature and oil pressure, a HKS CAMP2 digital display system and an HKS Type 1 turbo timer.

The exterior has also been given a thorough but subtle makeover with a full C-West bodykit, which includes the front bumper, rear bumper, side skirts and front canards. To shed a few kilos, the bonnet and the trunk lid were also replaced with lighter C-West items made out of fibre reinforced plastic or FRP.

Now take your mind away from this magnificent beast of Mitsubishi Malaysia Lancer Evo for a second. Now picture that perfect stretch of mountain road. Now imagine sitting behind the wheel of this 680bhp beast as you carve your way through the tree lined roads. Cue driving music and fade to black.
