Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR '07 Tune?

[MR718]

Anyone have a good tune for it? I'm not great when it comes to tuning. Tried searching for one but no results. Am I the only one who likes driving this car?

I Love Driving Mine! I have it at 433HP and Racing Slicks (Soft)

Tuner Comments:
So we got this EvoX dropped off by a customer for tuning purposes. We figured the modified settings versus stock were the result of fettling by said customer and thought little of it, same for the clutch-type differentials. Then we noticed the car was being shown in the “customer cars” section of another tuning company's website.

The car was feeling a bit sad for itself when we got it, having lost the only thing that gives an Evo an advantage; the active yaw control rear differential, and running an unoptimized suspension setup. The car was originally set up on the customer supplied soft-compound slicks but we noticed it didn't really need them so we slapped on road-legal soft-compound semi-slicks and finished the tweaks. We were then told we could do whatever we wanted with the appearance of the vehicle, so it got a fresh coat of Ford Oxford White paint and a set of Enkei JS+M wheels sprayed with Alfa Romeo Bianco Spino to call it done.

The tune posted above is great, but wow, the steering is super sensitive.

Yeah it is sensitive,but once you get used to it it's not so bad 👍

It's one of my favorites from RKM.

I claim no expert knowledge of car tuning, but this own tune of myself has given me the most enjoyable ride amongst all other toys in my GT garage (perhaps this was so since prologue)

I didn't tamper with any settings other than the suspension:

Ride height: -20, -15
Spring rate: 6.7, 6.5
Dampers (both): 7, 6
Anti-roll bars: 4,4

Camber 2.3, 1.0
Toe -0.2, 0.15

Brakes 9, 4


The transmisssion: This really depends on the track you're on. Generally I set it at 280km/h - which is around 170 miles/h


What it feels like: The good old Evo as always. Handling is very forgiving, one can slam hard on the brakes very lately before the turn and then full throttle upon reaching the apex without worrying spinning the car.


Hope this helps.

Thanks for posting it for me.

And yeah, steering is a bit touchy on straights due to it having AYC but it's a necessary evil to get it to do well in the corners.

Is this tune good for the 2005 EVO as well?

I used the first tune posted above and anything over 120mph in the straights and the car will sway back and forth. I turned down the feed back on my wheel as much as posible but it still does it pretty bad. What can it do to rid the car of this??

You can ruin the car's handling by installing adjustable LSDs. Beyond that, not much.

It's an unfortunate side-effect of the AYC and using a wheel; there is no actual deadzone with the Logitech wheels, and this results in the AYC reading steering input the entire time you're going down the straight... And sending power to the outside rear tire, making the car's slight movement to whichever side the wheel is reading it as pointing towards much more pronounced.

I believe the Fanatec wheels have a hardware-adjustable deadzone setting which would cure this. Controllers won't suffer from it either.

Thanks for the info. This really sucks since the car really became awsome to drive in the twisties.

I found it to be possible to keep the weaving down enough that it wasn't dangerous by any stretch; the car is actually perfectly stable while doing that, it just feels as if it isn't.

I'm about to try this setup. I'd really like to know a rally variant as well though.

Also, I will never understand why someone will take state of the art technology, like the AYC on the Lancer and just throw it out the window for an LSD.

[edit] Could have sworn I already added this.

Tried this setup, minus a lot of the HP parts, it is still particularly brilliant. I have all new respect for your tuning ability RJ.

Now I should try and set it up for dirt! Thanks for the hard work.

trying this tune out. its very fast and stable, however like someone else posted above the wheel feedback will jerk left and right making it very difficult at times. im almost positive its not the ayc though. pretty sure its the ride height and spring rate. it feels exactly like riding one of the carts.

i softened up the suspension and raised the height and the feedback is no where near as bad, however it effects the rest of the tune.

this is probably a very nice tune for dual shock.

Actually they were supposed to fix it with this last update... Are you on 1.06 yet or no?

As for being a nice tune for the dual-shock... I tuned it, I use a wheel. Both the EvoXs I tried did it whenever AYC was installed... Which is odd given no other Evo has done it to me. Haven't tried it since the "fix" though as I sold my personal EvoX because I'm lazy and no longer wanted it, and returned the car I tuned to the original owner.

Run the car 200 miles, then oil change it. Gotta break your motor in.
