have you tuned the original TME turbo? Because is the best OEM mitsu turbo... titanium wheel ,ultra fast spooling and i have seen +400bhp on a 2.0 long rod engine with 272 kelford camshafts....
Evo 9 80 series turbo is the biggest one, maybe 430/440bhp are possible
I think those numbers are overly optimistic. I also think the Evo 9 turbo is much stronger and more durable than the TME, doubt there's much difference in spoolup.
I typically see about 400hp out of the Evo 9 turbo on a car with the exhaust done, and after that the turbo is done. Modifying cams, head or anything else usually just results in less torque at low rpm and not any more power at high rpm, because everything is limited by the turbo flow. This is of course on standard 98 RON fuel. If you use more exotic fuels, WMI, you can get more power out of it.
Interested to see how you get on with them, a lot of people are rating them.
i will
today was 2º C degrees outside, i love the cold weather

It will be crap to drive around corners.
Mapped an Evo X today on dyno, 400hp, 500nm with torque at 2700-5600nm with just an exhaust on it. These older ones dont spool as early because you can not adjust the camshafts, but from what i've messed around with, the Evo 9 and Evo X stock turbos are hard to beat - very good spool and good top-end as well as very linear power delivery makes it great to drive around track/ice/gravel.
Also, your winter is a joke. You need some like this and a frozen lake :
yes,i know... 500bhp can be taken leaving the car with a 4 to 7500 rpm powerband
now is ok... 430bhp,but the current turbo is a 500Hp size...

can you tune the stock TME ECU?
if yes, you can come and tune both cars ( i still have the Aquamist HFS3... , together with the TME turbo should give a very nice powerband )

I think you are making a mistake converting to LHD. Car will be worth lots less in future nd its fun to drive on the wrong side of the car. I would prefer a LHD S2 or RS2 to RHD!
It doesn't work like that the other way round as well
Yeah, it's pretty fun, anyway the lhd conversion is only for the black Makinen. Why? Because my wife want it like this ( is her car, we shouldn't forget it ) and she doesn't want me tuning or modifying it. The experiments with the red one she said.
About if they were LHD versions,yes of course! But only RS versions, ( less weight, mechanical diffs, worse interior, shorter geared.. ) basically for the rally teams.
LHD Makinen cars are by far much more expensive because the rarity of them.... Easily 40000€ for a red car.. Which is crazy
Nice bits Rocco.

Agreed, did they not make any LHD ones identical to this model/special edition ?
