EVO X is here!
Here is the new EVO X, Picked this up last night!
It seems as the new EVO X will be another race to the best for the tuner crowd. When the Subaru first landed on the US shores nobody knew what to do. When the EVO VIII landed, the DSM tuners tried to jump in, but that was not the same car. After almost 4 years of the EVO VIII and EVO IX, the competition is fierce. With the debut of the EVO X, every tuner has their mind set on being the next big thing. With an amazing showing at Tokyo Auto Salon (see our Blog Here) the race is officially on to build the best EVO X.
Vivid Racing was first to build a full JDM EVO VIII in the USA. Vivid Racing will be the first to bring you an incredible over the top build on this EVO X. If you saw our 2008 Subaru WRX then you can expect nothing less from us. In cooperation with Agency Power, we will be working to releasing many new and innovative products for the EVO X.
Once the EVO X touched our facility, we immediately strapped it to the dyno to get some baseline numbers.
We finished the prototype components for the EVO X intake system. This includes the suction pipe to the turbo and short ram intake kit with heat shield that connects to the factory air scoop.
The car did really well actually with the complete intake kit and suction pipe. The car by nature from the factory ran quite rich. With the addition of the intake components, it leaned the car out to a safe tunable AFR which gave it a ton of power. The boost was consistant but heavily drops off. We definitely need to get a boost controller and/or have some ECU tuning done. We suspect that with the intake and a good turbo back exhaust (coming soon) the car will pick up about 40HP easily.
Final testing will be done on the intake kit which will be sold as just the short ram or just the suction pipe. You will be able to get it at a combination as well. We hope to start production by Monday and have product shippable within 2 weeks.
Here is the dyno sheet from the run. Stay tuned!

232 Horse and 256 Torque at the wheels seems about right.
I think the new STI baselined around 230 Horse and 240 Torque. http://www.iwsti.com/forums/1666513-post136.html
