View Full Version : My Evo X Tuned at DTM
I went up to DTM this past Saturday to meet up with some friends and finally get my X tuned. Despite the crumby weather, it was still a great turn out.
Overall, I'm very happy with the tune. Nick finally got rid of the high RPM "studder" problems I had with the car even after the second dealer reflash. Before the tune the 4B11 just felt like it was struggling at WOT. :18:
After the tune it pulls much harder, all the way up to redline. The power delivery is very smooth and I felt a huge difference in torque.
My Mods: Buschur Dual Cat Back Exhaust and a K/N cone filter.
I have to thank Nick for an awesome job with the tune, along with the rest of the DTM guys. I also got some great info on what to do next with the Evo. Since the tune is $450 lifetime (unless I change injectors or go with a bigger turbo) I can come back with a retune after a slap on more bolt-ons... nice!.
Anyway, here is a quick vid and a pic of the numbers.

I second that Mike. Nick and the rest of the guys at DTM did an excellent job on my EVO X as well.
Thumbs up to DTM !!!

That's some impressive bump from just a tune. I'm also very impressed with the X tq numbers. Good job, Nick. And I can't wait to drive her again, Mike. :thumbsup:

Here is my Dyno numbers on my X with an AEM CAI and BASELINE DTM TUNE and retune at the BBQ, I'm still deciding on which exhaust to get:
nice, enjoy the new found power!
Post the numbers after 4 grown men sat in your car for the ride? wasn't it like 230?

Start w/ catback 218/249 awhp/tq
DTM Tuned 276/291 awhp/tq
MACHEVO X
Start w/ CAI 262/260 awhp/tq
DTM Tuned 282/311 awhp/tq
It's interesting to see how the CAI compares to the exhaust. MACHEVO X, can you post up the graph?

Ok I'll post the graph tonight when I get home from work.
Seyla,
That is not exactly correct. The basline for CAI already had my base flash in the ECU

Thanks for the kind words.. You have quite a bit still left in the equation. Your running a bit less boost than Mark. But that can easily be remedied...:thumbsup:

Thanks again Nick, see you in a few weeks for more power!

Seyla,

That explains a lot. I thought Mark's car was running more boost, but since an aftermarket boost controller wasn't mentioned, I thought it was more air going into the head creating more load or ECU controlled boost.
The gains on a custom tune vs base flash is impressive. Especially the richness of the powerband.
Seyla,

AHH... that explains whole lot, the MadMsheen, Speedo and I were trying to figure out how Mark's baseline was much higher than mine. I thought he had a factory freak Evo or that AEM intake you were raving about was really that good. How much more boost is Mark running?

Sorry guys I forgot to mention that I had a baseline tune from Nick 2 weeks ago. I'm not sure how much more boost but thought it might have been 2psi more than stock.

very nice numbers, nonetheless. how are you liking your X?

Mike, any clue what psi you are running? I didn't see it on the dynograph so I wasn't sure.
***so I can be specific, how much boost is your car currently running mike?***

I run 34F psi and 32R psi.. Oh, you meant "boost" pressure. :lol_hitting:

I love my X so far and all the aftermarket support for it. Feels really responsive after the tune, big difference from when I got it from the factory.
Awesome numbers on both Evos! Mike next time I want a ride, I only weight a buck 50!

Is lifetime tune $450 for everybody? Where can I get some detail on it?

$450 lifetime for X's (unless you change turbos or go with bigger injectors)
$350 lifetime for 8's & 9's (unless you change turbos or go with bigger injectors)

I'm really liking the numbers the X's are producing! Can't wait to see some local guys hitting the 400whp mark on pump gas and stock turbo. I may then just have to consider dumping the F for one. :P

Actually this is pretty hard to do and cannot be done on a mustang type dyno.
what happened to DTM? Are they still around?

They're dead to us.
Weren't you still backing them when it was going down? Interesting swing of opinion.
Nevermind, not gonna get into this haha.

Slight overstatment but whatever.
Weren't you still backing them when it was going down? Interesting swing of opinion.
I was giving them the benefit of the doubt as it was going down...I didn't exactly want to believe I was ripped off.. Then after overwhelming evidence and the fact DTM doesn't exist anymore..I'm as bitter as the next guy who didn't really get what they paid for..
Them being dead to us was just a joke..
