TUNING THE MITSUBISHI 4G63 (EVO 8)

The Mitsubishi 4G63 is a 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-four that powered the legendary Lancer Evolution up to the EVO 8. It is one of the most tunable engines ever produced, with exceptional strength and an enormous aftermarket parts base.

This EVO 8 came to FC Tuning for a full ECU remap using our Apexi Power FC ECU. We mapped fuel, ignition, boost, and MIVEC parameters to extract maximum power safely and reliably from the 4G63 platform.

The EVO 8 left the dyno with impressive power figures and a smooth, linear power delivery — fully capable of handling road, track, or motorsport use.

Very nice, loved the way you narrated in this video to let us know what is going on. Keep up the good work.

Thanks guys.. admittedly it does takes a lot of my personal time producing these short dyno movies and I’ve still a pile of DV tapes and SD cards to download footage going back years to edit. Recently over the course of 2009 I’ve taken the time to add a little narration here n there in order to help those that don’t understand tuning WHAT exactly is kinda going on.. MANY people just see power going up and up and up and the majority have minimal knowledge and technical understanding of the STUFF in between and what it takes to actually get a 4 cylinder engine up to these kinds of power levels RELIABLY. As and when I get time the narration will be much more detailed, right from the strapping down up to when the car leaves the dyno.

Thanks for your comments, they are always much appreciated. Feel free to comment on any of the others

Cheers

Nicely done steve,did the car require a better intercooler at this level of tune? Hence your reason for pulling the boost back a bit?

Fantastic to see DW embracing Steve's talents!

Steve has been mapping my S13 for years now. Like others i had used a well known tuner to set up my power FC and thought it was great at the time until i wanted a remap for some extra boost but wasn''t prepared to pay the 400 odd quid for a complete new map. Steve downloaded the map off my car which turned out to be little more than a base map then remapped the PFC without even needing to touch the boost, the difference was night and day.

Steve always makes sure you know what he's doing and why. He listens to what you want and then goes out of his way to make sure you get it.

My car now runs a rebuilt RB25DET and initial tuning from Steve saw it make 444bhp @ 1.2bar.

I look forward to further tuning in the near future.

Cant stress enough how impressed i was with the service i got from Steve on mapping my RB26 R34.

Took loads of time setting up on the rollers and then came with me to pod and back for a road tweeking sessions that really transformed the power delivery and the fuel economy.

Always at the end of the phone for friendly honest advice.

He really is a mapping Ninja.

Yup, we was road mapping mine to the dyno, at the dyno, and then back after doing a load of other cars. I think we finished tweaking it at about 3am!

It was mapped previously by a \\"well recommended\\" mapper, but it was like a new car after the remap!

3 of my mates have been to him too, and all been very impressed with the dyno results and service!

Another very satisfied customer here, transformed the car when the S13 with the waaaayyy to big Ebay super T70 on the RB25DET came on boost on the M25 and then proceeded to spin up the wheels in 4th gear @ 4500 rpm I was WELL impressed !

Next mapping will DEFINATELY be with Steve again (Even if I live 600 miles away in another country)

Been in touch with Steve for over a year now, and have had nothing but a positive experience....cant praise him enough for his hard work and knowledge. Would recommend him to anyone who wants there car tuned! Cant wait to bring the Silvia back with a few no goodies and see if we can get even more out of it.
