Agency Power has finished testing on their all new Turbo Kit for the 2003 and up Mitsubishi EVO VIII, RS, and MR Edition vehicles. The AP turbo kit is designed to offer the consumer several different options for their vehicle needs. The kit is available with a T3/T4 50Trim Turbo for the daily drivers and road racers. As well, the kit is available with a 60-1 Turbo for the customer wanting to do big horsepower numbers in either drag racing or road racing scenarios.
What sets the Agency Power EVO VIII Turbo Kit aside from the competition is its quality, performance, and presentation that has been proven. Originally tested at the famous Willow Springs Raceway in the Vivid Racing EVO VIII, the prototype helped carry the VR EVO to fast lap times placing in the first Subaru, EVO, Mini shootout. With making full boost by 4000 rpm, the 50Trim kit was on its way to success.
Once the final production unit was finished, we took a stock EVO VIII and added some common parts to get our results. Without going over board to gain high numbers, we put together the car with some of the basic upgrades most people do. Products - B&B downpipe, B&B catpipe, JIC 505 catback Exhaust, Turbo XS UTEC, Perrin MBC, HKS 264 Intake and Exhaust camshafts, ARP Head Stud Bolts, Blitz 700cc Injectors, Agency Power Fuel Rail, and Walbro Fuel Pump.
With the new turbo kit installed, we took the EVO VIII to the local All Wheel Drive Dyno Jet facility. Dynoing the stock car at 220 wheel horsepower, we had a good baseline to tune upwards from. Since most vehicles run everyday on 91-octane pump gas, we tuned it with this gas first for a real life number. The 91-octane map at 1.5 bar (23lbs) of boost put down 330 wheel horsepower (429 Crank HP). Once drained, we filled the tank with 109 Unleaded VP Gas and turned up the boost with a retune. The EVO VIII now made 405 wheel horsepower (526.5 Crank HP) and 358.6 ft/lbs of wheel torque.
Now this is our smaller turbo option! With C16 leaded gasoline (most companies test with this), our 50 Trim kits will make close to 425 wheel horsepower safely on the EVO VIII stock engine. With our 60-1 Turbo Kit, you will achieve about 475 wheel horsepower (617.5 Crank HP).
Why is this kit better then the competition? Well first we give you the ability to switch turbos to your performance needs with nothing but the cost of the turbo. This allows you dial your car in for the type of use it is involved in. Second, all of our piping is T304 stainless steel with ? inch thick flanges. The superior staff at B&B Performance Exhaust assembles the piping, exclusively for Agency Power. Next, we supply high quality and durable SAMCO brand hose couplers. Available in Red, Blue, or Black. These 3 ply silicon hoses do not rip, wear, or fade. We also include stainless steel oil lines for the top and bottom of the turbo. Our bottom line includes screw on flanges for perfect fitment and no leaks. We use a Tial 38mm wastegate with a .7 spring for perfect response. Our custom designed intake tube with recirc fitment works in conjunction with the factory MAF. As well as we provide a short ram intake system that has a 3D machined housing to fit with the MAF and a K&N style cone filter. The intake includes a bracket for firm fitment. Lastly we include all necessary vacuum lines, gaskets, hardware, clamps, and fittings to make this a true bolt on kit. What finally sets us apart from the competition is our presentation.
Now available in a ball bearing option!
