So You Want To Mod Your Mitsubishi Evo X?

[@CO_EVO_8]

AYC pump, And the clutch job are huge cons. Other than that my X has been awesome. Making almost 400whp and it makes me smile all the time.

[@becomeraptureready]

Evo X is the best Evo period

[@no-name5090]

Definitely agree , holds 600whp with no issues on stock block.

[@G30_Jay]

Highly disagree. Evo 8/9 is the best. Evo x is perfect daily driver. I have both in my garage and I daily the x. Autocross/track is definitely my Evo 8

[@becomeraptureready]

@@G30_Jay The 4B11t is a much better engine in every single way, except its ability to hold more than 1200hp for drag racing scenarios. The Evo X 5 speed is much stronger than the Evo 9 5 speed. The Evo X AWD system is much more advanced with a stronger rear diff than the Evo 9. The chassis is much stiffer, safer, and more aerodynamic on the Evo X. Parts availability and support are also more and going to exist for longer as there were more X's made and more recently, the X will never die. The Evolution stayed true to its name, every generation was better than the previous. I have a Evo X built for Group N rally, and I wouldnt consider another car as the Evo X is stupid reliable around 350hp, you cant break it, also daily drive it in the Canadian winter and after relocating the AYC pump the Evo X is unbreakable, and the chassis refuses to rust since it was made of top tier steel, it is literally the best vehicle ever made in my eyes.

The Evo X isn’t 400lbs heavier than the Evo IX. The Evo X GSR 5spd manual is 1565kg or 3450lbs. The Evo IX is 1470kg or 3240lbs. 200 pound difference, you guys are way off.

Evos... discontinued due to... what exactly? Official answer: As efficiency and versatility became increasingly important to consumers, Mitsubishi decided to focus their efforts on crossover vehicles and electric or hybrid cars in order to meet customer demand. which in my book is BS....

[@maperformance]

They are certainly a shell of what they once were! 😔 They did recently announce they plan to bring back the Ralliart brand... so maybe something cool will come through the cracks soon! 🙏🏻

[@LeaningGumby]

These guys been hooking me up with the best parts for the best prices! def look into them!

As a former Ralliart X owner, I am surprised you didn't talk about the infamous TC-SST and its shortcomings.

[@bEEBO178]

I have a 2011 300 SST which has been turned to 385bhp (UK rolling road tune), 3 port boost controller and 200 cel sports cat. I have 3 kids and use it for work. Amazing car. Only weakness is the sst trans which was rebuilt with uprated clutch pack and shift fork 4 upgrade.

*cough* AYC PUMP! :P Ive replaced that thing a few times before it ran out it's extra warranty. I installed a new pump in my trunk after the last one died. MAP, consider selling relocation kits if you don't already. The process to relocate it is pretty easy and us fans up north here really need them if we want to drive on our cars in the winter :)

[@moonman_8935]

I currently drive a 2021 STI. Previous car was a 2019 STI. But back in 2006 I bought a brand new EVO IX GSR. It was full bolt-ons plus tuned. Owned it for several years then sold it.

[@matthewphelan848]

Would love to see one of your MA EVO 8/9/10 long blocks built and installed into a car! More of a serious build not just simple everyday bolt on stuff. That probably most of us here watching have done on multiple cars We’ve owned. Something more technical and immersive. Pull the motor, trans, Tcase, everything show how it’s done with so what basic tools then build the new block swap over everything then put it all back together! Some real deal getting your hands dirty, busting knuckles kinds build!! There’s so many channels that just do bolt on’s then call it a day. What happens when your big turbo bolt on, blows a hole 🕳 in the side of your block and you need to figure out how to change your motor! Let me see the real magic happen!!

Aww, was hoping to hear more about the 5spd/Auto trans failures at power levels... there's so many debates on those in the Evo X forums. Would love to know your experience with them!

[@CO_EVO_8]

It's not the horse power you have to worry about. That would be a torque related question. Plenty of built, high whp X's running stock 5sp's. A huge part of if it will last or not is the tune. If your tuner is ramping in peak torque early in the RPM range than your trans won't last. The X 5sp is pretty well built from the factory.

[@q2subzero]

@@CO_EVO_8 What about the Auto (TC-SST) in the MR? Can that be built or not worth?

[@Puttagirlon]

I worked for a Mistu dealership for a while. After about 4 months there, a dude came in with his 03 Evo 8 looking to trade in for a brand new 12 Evo X. So after some obsessed pestering, I got my boss to sell me the car for about 2k over his trade value. I did a little work on the car, got it tuned, and was able to have a DD Evo 8 making around 330whp on stock internals. As much as I loved that car, we came on some hard times in the next year and I ended up selling it since it was a second vehicle that my wife never drove. Unfortunately, it was only about 2 months later before I began making good money and the dude that bought it wasn't keen on selling it back (which I totally understand.) Fast forward about 12 years later and suddenly I'm looking for another manual, turbo, AWD car. And since the STI is hard to find in decent condition without needing an engine rebuild, I'm right back to looking at another Evo. I've got my fingers crossed and prayer beads ready...
