    Mitsubishi Evo Big Power Kit Launched: 511 bhp!

    Mitsubishi Evo Big Power Kit Launched: 511 bhp


    United Kingdom based Owen Developments are renowned for their innovative development of turbocharger and high performance engine technologies. Since the mid-eighties part of their expertise has been to rebuild and blueprint turbochargers for both fast road and motorsport competition cars.

    Now Owen Developments are launching their Mitsubishi Evo Big Power Kit suitable for all Lancer Evolutions ranging from series 4 to 9 which have already had the FQ400 engine modifications.

    The latest power boost kit, gives up to 511 bhp at 7,100 rpm and 426 lb-ft of torque at 5,219 rpm.

    By designing a new inlet manifold Owen Developments can now use the latest remote wastegated GT30 range of Garrett high performance ball bearing turbochargers. Having a remote wastegate allows for a more efficient turbine housing which in turn provides more boost and less ‘turbo-lag’.

    The new Big Power Kits can provide between 405 and 511 bhp depending on the customer’s requirements.

    Brian Owen, managing director, said, "Customers wanting our new Big Power Kit must make sure their Lancer Evolution engine has already been significantly modified to FQ400 specification. At this stage we cannot talk about what price these new kits will be because that will depend upon the specification and condition of the engine. In every case we need customers to talk to us directly so we can discuss with them what specification their Evolution engine is and what specification Evo Big Power Kit we need to supply."

    any car with the exception of super minis and nething of the sort can spin their wheels in first gear, lag aint a problem, lag's only a problem when the gear ratios forces you into the no boost range in an upshift
    and if you want a good launch off any vehicle you'd have to rev pretty damn far up the rev range and dump the clutch, slipping the clutch will technically give you better times but then u would end up with a useless clutch after a few runs

    dont trust everything clarkson says :P

    yeah thats the downside. An Aussie mag tested an Evo 9, MY06 STi and a Clubsport and they said the Clubsports 0-100 time was the only one you'd actually want to try and repeat

    when i launch my turbo car its between 4-5 thousand rpm so its on boost when it launches but i dont have to snap 2nd straight away. ID imagine in an AWD such as the STI clutch popping would break a gearbox before the clutch.
