400bhp Evo X SST Review - Loud HKS Dump Valve - PerformanceCars

[@Zerofightervi]

Makes me laugh how people can't except an Evo X with a SST gearbox but won't bat an eyelid at the Nissan GTR which only comes with an auto box. Also this isn't the first time the Evo has had a auto box, the Evo VII GTA was available with an old torque converter style gearbox.

[@TboneSTEAK111]

people underestimate the SST. It's a monster in its own world. You can be 100-200 hp down from another car and beat it

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

You guys are right. I think they're just not used to seeing an automatic in an Evo.

[@SI0AX]

I think automatics are lame, but I thought it was very cool hearing the automatic downshifts "automatically" making the BOV sounds!

[@emmanuelmuriungi8154]

"Automatic's are lame" Alright mate so all supercars are lame?

[@G4RY1159]

True!

[@rowanlewisuk]

I noticed it’s in normal mode, in super sport mode it’s a different car

[@tHoM0r]

wouldn't be driving in anything but supersport with that much power! good way to wreck the clutch pack

[@gsheverything_2716]

Very Very good idea by Mitsubishi, most cars has + n - shifting on the wrong mount, i like that they put + shifting backward motion n - shifting front ward motion...

[@G4RY1159]

Great review so many Thanks Must admit i wasn't aware you could change from Auto over to Paddle while in motion, i thought this could only be done when sitting still / parked up etc.

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

No problem Gary, thanks for the support. I tried simply as I was driving and thought it's quite nice to be able to swap back and forth to your desire.

[@SUPERCARSANDCLASSICCARS]

*I believe there is a spare wheel under the foam/tools. Could be wrong but thought there was in my old X.

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

+Garage 585 This one didn't come with the spare wheel but came with a tyre inflator and that foam sealer for punctures. It might have been an option on your car.

[@nonyabusiness8693]

Not the worst video I've seen on a evo X. Def needs some work. The bov needs to be rebuilt. You can here it hiss after the ref off. The tune needs some work. The compressor surge is pretty bad considering the turbo size. There's a lot of "show" pieces on the car. Cool, I get it. But not much performance enhancing stuff here. It has 3 modes, Normal, sport, and S-sport. You don't have to kick it over to shift manually. You can do it whenever you want to. It's not recommended to drive it hard on normal mode. S-sport is really for driving hard or on the track. Overall, what I took from it is your Driving impressions. Good take on that! I'm a MR owner myself. So I know what it's like. Keep doing videos, do more research. You'll get the hang of things. Also, watch your vocabulary. A lot of US people on here, so when you use certain terms people get confused. Good job man! 3/5 stars

[@syedmazlan]

Mike Chapman may I ask, is that means when he use the -+ to up and down shift he don't need to release his foot from the accelerator?

[@DustinTripleChamp]

The Hiss is the dump valve

[@23snowy23]

A lot of performance cars have the paddles fixed from the wheel, reason being when you shift during cornering it upsets the balance of the car. Some cars won't actually let you shift under tight cornering.

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

+23snowy23 Is that the case? I always wondered why. Luckily the 2017 GTR has addressed this problem. Hopefully more manufacturers will follow suit. It does get annoying as sometimes shifting mid corner is needed.

[@harveyjones1404]

wrong.

[@emlix1]

Seems like a lot of visible mods for that HP figure, mine still looks stock bar the exhaust and wheel/rotor combo, and to look under the bonnet you'd never know, the only visible mod is a K&N drop in filter, for which you have to look hard. And it makes, um... a little bit more than 400hp. Specifically 404KW at the wheels.

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

That's some decent figure. A lot of the people seem to expect to see a huge visible turbo with shiny chrome parts and lots of stickers or something along the lines of that to make big hp.

[@emlix1]

Yeah, I didn't want a cop magnet. It's considerably louder than stock but otherwise you'd be hard pressed to tell. I'm still running the stock clutches too, although they are definitely getting a bit raggedy. I'm gonna replace them with a set of 600hp steels as soon as I can afford it.

[@ProDzyr]

emlix1 a little over 400 hp and 400kw at the wheels is really different from each other. So which is it ?

[@emlix1]

I said "specifically 404 kw at the wheels" 404 very expensive KW.

[@HONDATA24]

sick evo x mr.i want one of them.

[@smithkid1996]

the paddles don't rotate with the wheel because the wheel is supposed to be straight when shifting at the limit of grip.

[@Bombaclock]

Fist-able exhaust lol

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

Lol

[@jordanthomson7682]

hell yeah looks good

[@ragna_mani]

there's also supersport mode not only sport mode.

[@Quentsss_KQ]

Thats whats up Lan Evo X Nice one performance cars :)

[@PrimalFlexing]

what are your mods? I have a 08MR SST as well but prev owner had bad tune and I got stuck with it now its blown. im curious to if I go the built bottom end and top or try the low miles motor and go from there.

[@2safer22]

Love that this MR has all the options on it that arent available like the spoiler, brake vents, and hood vents.

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

Hey, I didn't know that the MR doesn't come with those options. Thanks for letting me know.

[@2safer22]

Yeah! I was bummed when I found out the newer MR's don't. But, if you look for MR's on the market you'll find VERY FEW with all the extras like yours. So consider it a "rare" if you ever put it out there to sell it haha.

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

This isn't my car but I will definitely let the owner know. Thanks for the information. Do you own an Evo?

[@Joseph-fe5vi]

Dude nice car and nice review, I have one as well and you just gave me a few ideas, thanks

[@seko512]

why it so heavy for an evo ?

[@jordanthomson7682]

good video man

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

Many thanks for the comments 😊👍

[@SiR8081]

Is the SST stock?

[@markjones2547]

is it possible to daily the evo x in this trim?

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

I'm pretty sure you can as that is what the current owner does. In fact, he has just put on a full Voltex wide arch kit!

[@Kevhoe]

PerformanceCars I want to see it now!

[@omg.2tsx_alex593]

Been doing extensive reading on SST evoX as I'm looking for a new fun daily (leg injuries prohibit me from dailying a stick) and out of a few choices I think this is the one

[@Yellowsnow1]

I have an evo x fq300 sst and a daily driver. Its just perfect. Best part is it can go from school drop off car hire to red light racer in the drop off a foot lol

[@Kevhoe]

I’m guessing you’re in sport mode and not super-sport mode. You really shouldn’t be going WOT in a tuned SST Evo in any other mode but SS. I can definitely hear some clutch slip - not good. Otherwise, good review.

[@Joseph-fe5vi]

I think that is how the SST transmission are, they sound like they are slipping but they are not. Although I prefer the kick back from the old automatic tranny

[@therattrap1997]

best car

[@B_OConner4848]

did he really say "they are fistable"... wtf lmao... It never crossed my mind to fist my tailpipe, but thanks for the demonstration! Aside from that love the car- it's a beast!

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

Lol! Have you never seen CarThrottle 'fist' an exhaust? I got the idea from them 😂 Many thanks for the comment 👍

[@SkyMine911]

Ralliart Upgraded to Evo performance or its an Evo?

[@georgewest7406]

Its Evo , you dont see these wide body ? Lol

[@JohnSmith-te6wz]

I didn't know you could use the shifter to shift like that in the mr. that's fucking cool

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

It's not a bad option. I suppose it gives the driver some control over the gears.

[@InsanityStreak95]

Anyone know what the SST gear box is rated to? I have a 2013 Evo X, Twin Clutch SST with the Automated Manual Gearbox (Padel Shifters) and Mitsubishi won't tell me haha...

[@Rolling2Quarters]

about 380 lbs of tourque

[@TboneSTEAK111]

the SST will handle whatever you throw at it. it's the clutch packs that will need upgraded to handle more then 380wtq.

[@ianjohnson4541]

Jye Terry - the engines are OK for 400 bhp. it's torque that's the issue with the transmission. indigo gt know what they're doing with these cars. did a terrific job with mine. budget for sway bars and ohlins shocks. arguably get these fitted before turning the power up.

[@TboneSTEAK111]

Ian Johnson Mines around 500whp on stock block. 380 tq.

[@ianjohnson4541]

RR - hi - stock block with the top end modified? you must have spent a fukn fortune on it fella! I left it at 410 (not to the wheels). gets expensive beyond that - principally relating to clutch pack upgrades.

[@mario350zhr3]

How bad is gearing highway wise?

[@AtomicGamr]

this is an hks ssqv blow off valve. not a dump valve

[@bbuildingmarch7060]

same thing lol

[@BroJustGoogleIt]

different names, same thing

[@palomaresjowayne596]

Killa EVO X

[@chimuzhyuphiri7448]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥sst

[@rojirod2009]

What exhuast system is that?

[@TheCinderellaman10]

Milltek

[@itsnay7382]

list of full specs parts etc price range

[@tomm6789]

Nice.

[@FilterGunk]

What the hell is a Mishibishi?

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

I apologise if it sounds a bit off.

[@khaledahmad50]

u have what?! a mishibishi?!!

[@Colt-TV]

I get it has mods but up badging isnt cool, just rock what you got.

[@410kane]

Yeah. Thought about putting ralliart badges on my outlander sport with manual tranny. Then realized it wouldn't feel right

[@joshuaharris8006]

I dont care what nobody says im a huge huge Automatic fan to the fullest any fast car i can drive as long as its automatic to be honest theres bearly any customized automatic lancer videos that dont show no body kits or anything but just the engine and the interio but by looking at this video you made me wanna buy an cash automatic lancer and turn it into an evo you turn a lancer into a low key Evo X And by you customizing your auto shift into a Manuel shift and can still drive it automatically thats an A+ in my book dude you gotta make another video of how you install that......

[@chrisg7663]

You need to have a 50/50 or recirc blow off valve for the SST. Do that and get it tuned again, you shouldn't be getting flutter and it will certainly smooth out daily driving. I also doubt very much that you have 400bhp as the stock FQ-330 has around 328bhp and just adding an intake, exhaust and hard pipes won't get you an extra 70bhp. Source= I have a 550bhp Evo X SST.

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

Hey, thanks for the comment. I will be sure to notify the owner of what you have mentioned above. Whereas regarding the power, he does have a dyno print out and a modifications list so I can only go by what he gives/tells me. Hope you understand.

[@erikcizmadia2560]

Chris Gardner, hi I would like to ask you how you modified the clutch to handle the torque. I have an SST model and want to tune up also.

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

+Erik Čizmadia Hi buddy, I'm 100% sure the owner hasn't modified anything on the SST gearbox to handle the torque. It's standard. A lot of people have been saying it can't handle it but this one has been fine so far! Plus it's not driven really hard all the time. I hope that helps.

[@erikcizmadia2560]

PerformanceCars, thanks for the answer, I am intrested in the clutch, my mechanic said they tried a lot types of clutches and it was slipping, that it can't lock it. He make rally spec cars and he hasn't found a clutch which is not slipping when the torque is over 600NM

[@chrisg7663]

I use SSP clutch packs on my Evo X MR. They hold the power great, Dodson clutch packs are also awesome. You mechanic maybe doesn't know about these aftermarket clutch packs, they are pretty much Evo X MR standard for high horsepower.

[@tristanfearon]

can i get the mod list???????

[@olderrol1968]

good morning. do you have a Facebook page?

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

Hi yes, it's facebook.com/PerformanceCars2.0/

[@kjwong4730]

Ok

[@boosteroids]

Wow i just like read the brochure

[@kenwong6536]

nice!!

[@Ghostintheshell3551]

mishubishi lmfao!

[@lewismckenzie7882]

Do an r34 review

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

I would love to do a review on a R34! Hopefully in the future

[@EvoGTR33]

how much cost to have a car like this ?

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

To be honest, I don't actually know. I would guess around £15k to £20k.

[@xDarkxez35]

I love your accent

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

Lol, I hope that is a compliment.

[@polik971]

wait , 412 ft-lb on a sst with no clutches upgrades? let me know your tuner (that are not the ones we all know)... ahahah

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

+polik971 Hi, I can only go by what the owner tells me and what I can visually see or feel from the car. I had a look at the dyno sheet too and it does have that power and torque.

[@polik971]

+PerformanceCars Ok , the Getrag 6DCT470 can handle about 340 ft-lb in stock configuration so I guess it has some transmission mods. Can you list them if any? If it's really stock then I'm missing something

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

I've had a word with the current owner and I can't comment whether it has or has not had any modifications done to the transmission. The previous owner never mentioned anything about it. Sorry I couldn't help.

[@polik971]

+PerformanceCars Ok, thanks anyway. Maybe he or the previous owner can give a shout at the tuner...

[@48763405]

lol i have the exactly same badge says evolution x ralliart on the trunk

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

Awesome, if you ever want to show off your car, please feel free to post on our Facebook page!

[@lilbdon4658]

i got a evo x sst its fast mines black and i spen like 2000 thousand pounds on it its got 750 hp

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

£2000 is very cheap to be able to get 750bhp. Well done on your tuner.

[@jamie3499]

zombie raccoon lmao on GTA maybe

[@jameslames1630]

I know its been mentioned BUT LOL AT THE GLOVES -

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

Lol, no worries. I know why you guys always comment on it. I personally don't see a problem wearing them to drive considering we have a glove box for gloves. You should try it. Maybe it's the colour that makes people comment?

[@motuc_fan_vic]

Im sure is the owner asking for them to avoid damage or disgusting sweat at the steering wheel's leather

[@nasirfaryabi9504]

change ur hks blow off valve, it sounds nice but theyre the worst ones made for this car

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

I will forward your message to the owner. What would you recommend he replace it with?

[@SI0AX]

Why are they the worst ones? HKS is pretty much a universal BOV, the only thing that changes is how it's installed in stock intercooler setups through the use of flange or recirculating adapters.

[@K20TypeR]

I think what Nasir is saying is that the vent to atmosphere isn't great for these cars. A recirculating valve is the way to go for MAF equipped motors

[@Peanut_butter17]

Hawt!

[@quikgt]

Good review; but those gloves look the ones at my work.

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

Thanks and lol, a lot of people say something similar. Is it because of the colour?

[@SylarXtream]

Nice canning town

[@9GSR]

gloves???? whyy???? and MR??? why?? very fast 390 hp??/ why??

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

The race gloves are there just to differentiate myself to other car reviewers on KZbin. No harm in wearing them? I don't understand why you have question marks for the MR and 390 bhp...

[@Joseph-fe5vi]

I don't think he have an Evo....just let him be no worries, I think he still have a honda

[@BoostedBill96]

More than 400tq? RIP stock motor

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

The owner owns a garage so he is playing with power/modifications etc to see what the stock engine can handle.

[@Itsallagame1984]

Gloves though! Rofl.

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

Lol! Glad it made you laugh

[@bdream1630]

Full Ep.63 DBS

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

... I don't get it...

[@TheShYbOy22]

Well you lost me as soon as you open the door and show me the pedals jah-neh

[@Kevhoe]

Mark Soto Do you feel the same about the GTR?

[@Hello_its_me_mario]

Those river glove tho. Smh

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

River gloves? I've heard everything from marigolds to gardening gloves but never river gloves. What are they anyway?

[@doma5262]

Honestly the overall condition of that car is Rough as fuck

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

Oh dear, everyone's opinion is different I suppose. What do you think it's that bad that needs a swear word? I'll be sure to pass this on to the owner.

[@TreVox]

mee vic?

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

??? I'm pretty sure I don't say it like that.

[@nepaleseman1010]

I think the IX is much better.

[@georgewest7406]

No it isnt

[@kenchi7686]

Yi ban

[@elisano25]

ميشيبيشي ههه

[@WRENCHINGGARDENER]

You need a manual son Lolz

[@therattrap1997]

nah....

[@DiscoWalrus]

400bhp? Wtf, why? Is it to make your car sound more powerful? Well in that case I have a 510bhp evo. O_o base hp is meaningless. You have 340ish whp and I have 430whp.

[@MouseCIick]

MR? *quits video

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

Did Mitsubishi not produce the MR in your country? Or are you not a fan of the Evo as I notice the Subaru in your thumbnail?

[@MouseCIick]

PerformanceCars I just don't like paddle shifters. Rather get Evo 9 MR

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

I can understand where you are coming from. I too prefer a manual gearbox any day of the week.

[@harveyjones1404]

you can still use the shift with the shifter idiot , its basically like having a sequential shifter on a manuel you big goofy kid

[@angelomaselli5191]

needs to be stick ......love the car but automatic not the way to go

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

I can understand why you would want it with a manual gearbox as that is what I would want too 👍

[@harveyjones1404]

its actually better you idiot lol

[@Kevhoe]

It’s an automated manual dual clutch transmission. Educate yourself before commenting.

[@Joseph-fe5vi]

why the auto need to go? dude you can't even afford a Evo 6 never mind the Auto Evo x lol shut up and go educate yourself child

[@S29ORY]

See nowadays....golf r or Audi S3 and let someone tune the fuck out of it.

[@BiIlDipperIy]

Lol who builds an automatic evo to 400hp....

[@PerformanceCarsChannel]

I suppose some people enjoy the SST version?

[@BiIlDipperIy]

PerformanceCars I suppose. Just isn't as fun.

[@ianjohnson4541]

geepgeep567 - I did. what's you're point?

[@BiIlDipperIy]

Ian Johnson I don't have a point. There's nothing wrong with having a vagina.

[@jeromejones7819]

@Ian Johnson say that to a GTR owner or the boys down at kozmic motorsports and watch them laugh you off the track.

[@mikefleming466]

driving gloves say it isn't so lmao

[@MrrNacho]

hang on a minute... is that an auto evo X??!! theres definitely something wrong here,. no matter how fast or slow the car is, you just cant have an automatic "boy racer" car! let alone an evo X!!! what a waste of money...

[@bbuildingmarch7060]

apparently its semi auto but thats still gay af

[@1895Blaze]

Making fun of an evo x with a twin clutch SST because it's not a manual? What a waste of a comment.

[@iloverock6556]

THATS WHAT IM SAYING! IT SHIFTS FAST SO WHO CARES?

[@infiniteformless]

it's basically a double clutch manual without a clutch pedal. it needs to be shifted manually to maintain longevity of the sst. clutches slip less in sport and supersport as well. its far from an automatic ...educate yourself

[@justinmccabe19]

you are such a dumby haha. its far from an automatic. if you knew anything about the SST you would realize that.

[@coopsovdarlo]

Fistable cause you've got little women's hands😂

[@yaboial-i5642]

Once i saw it was a auto i disliked

[@therattrap1997]

nah

[@MrrNacho]

hang on a minute... is that an auto evo X??!! theres definitely something wrong here,. no matter how fast or slow the car is, you just cant have an automatic "boy racer" car! let alone an evo X!!! what a waste of money...

[@tohkamocha]

modded to have paddle shifters

[@tohkamocha]

Salty Bill the "Shut the fuck up" wasnt towards me right? and i never heard of an evo having paddle shifters?

[@tohkamocha]

+Salty Bill Haha i didnt know there was an SST evo x, my bad lol

[@harveyjones1404]

lol you stupid child , first of all get a car

[@chrishernandez4134]

The evo x Mr comes with a dual clutch gear box
