EVO VII & EVO VIII Upgrades
There
are less of these models on the road than the EVO IX, but including the imports we
have been fortunate enough to tune many variants of these models, even a couple
GT-A Auto’s! Just like the later models the MRT XA & XB kits are very popular,
particularly if guaranteed results are what you are after!
EVO IX Upgrades
The
’05 released EVO IX is a fantastic bit of gear. It may seem like just another
revision in a long line of EVO’s, but it is so much
more than that! Some major revisions took place between the EVO VIII and the new
EVO IX, and all of them were for the better. Improvements were made and features
have been added, and what was great was carried over
Some of the changes between the models were:
- Reduction in price compared to outgoing EVO VIII model (making it a
direct competitor with the MY06 Mitsubishi STi).
- New 6 speed manual transmission, up from 5 speed transmission on the
outgoing model. While quite a good gearbox and able to handle a fair bit of
punishment!
- New MIVEC variable valve timing (first for an EVO) engine with a
“quoted” 206kw and 355Nm of torque at flywheel. Claimed 0-100kph time is now
5.7 sec compared to 6.1 sec for the outgoing model with in gear acceleration
also noticeably quicker (partially due to engine improvements, partially due
to better gearing as a result of the extra gear ratio).
- New external aero package to reduce drag and front end lift, and improve
down force.
- Much improved interior including carbon look trim.
- 60kg reduction in weight compared to EVO VIII model (due to aluminium
roof, lighter side intrusion bars and lighter wheels among other things)
- Different (and far better) turbo assembly with revised exhaust housing
and notably better response and boost control to the EVO VIII.
-
And
if that wasn’t enough, quoted fuel consumption also drops from 10.9L/100km
with the EVO VIII down to 10.0L/100km with the new EVO IX.
Both on the road and on the track, the new EVO IX is a great all round
package, and is notably better in just about all aspects. As a base model it
is fantastic, but modified it could only get better…
