Adrian PatonHKS performance parts for Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X
March 27th 2008 23:30
With all the attention that the new Nissan GT-R has garnered since its launch, it's easy for the likes of fellow new Jap-rockets like the Subaru WRX STI and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X to feel just a wee bit neglected...Japanese tuning house HKS have been busy at work and the fruits of their labour is the announcement of a new tuning package for the new Lancer Evo.
Depending on the amount of moolah you're willing to part with, the Japanese tuner offers a series of mechanical and exterior upgrades for the new Evolution with the biggest drawcard being the new power kit, of course.
The power kit features a new turbo, intake manifold and a modified ECU to bump power from 286 PS at 7,020 rpm to 383.2 PS at 6,230 rpm (Jap-spec figures) from the Evo's 2.0-litre turbocharged engine. Torque rises to 48.9 kgm (at 4,360rpm) from a stock figure of 44.9 kgm at 4.040 rpm.
Just very impressive gains there!
A new suspension (coilovers etc.) and 19-inch Advan Racing RZ alloy wheels wrapped in 265/30R19 Advan tyres improves handling by a long shot as does the styling package which consists of an aerodynamic bodykit along with lots of expensive carbon fibre - bonnet, mirror caps, scoop, side protectors and front apron.
