excerpts from the horses diary
it will have a clear resemblance to the Concept X,and for the first time Mitsu designed the Lancer and the Evo with the intention to sell both in the US,high beltline hints at a more euro style,S40 or A4 like.base lancers come in DE,ES and GTS, will use the die-cast open-deck aluminum alloy 2.0-liter DOHC rated 152bhp at 6k rpm with 146 lb-ft tq @ 4250 rpm.the 1998cc ("world engine") 4B11 base engine is not as groundbreaking as the chassis,more torsional and bending rigidity than the evo ix,the evo x will be stiff due to a more rigid unibody and subframe geometry.although the block is identical to the dodge caliber,it is manufactured in Japan and uses its own MIVEC head and valvetrain,compared to the 4G63 it adds 42bhp @ 16lb-ft tq. it will be mounted with the exhaust manifold pointing towards the firewall with room for the turbo.tranny is either a 5 speed manual or a CVT for the lancer.

even though Mitsu is not going WRC,they developed the X to meet current FIA Group N homologation restrictions for the privateers, it will have aluminum roofs and hoods,stiffer front and rear subframes and race-ready forged aluminum control arms with revised geometry

by directing the exhaust towards the rear and placing the turbo between the engine and the firewall,less weight hangs over the front axle,no more clearance issues on routing a sewage-main size downpipe under the engine next to the oilpan,this config also better manages heat by keeping exhaust energy localized to the turbine,it also routes the compressor outlet pipe over the engine down into the same intercooler as used on the IX,this shortens plumbing between the intercooler outlet and the throttle body,NACA duct directs air down towards the turbo and compressor discharge pipe.

the X will have Active Yaw Control(AYC) system which will be bundled into a new comprehensive package called the Super All-Wheel Control(S-AWC),with ACD for front-rear torque distribution,Anti-Skid Control(ASC) and independent 4 wheel brake control.
for tuners the dual-clutch auto/manual tranny holds inherent problems
shift programs(Drive,Sports or Manual mode) are designed in terms of shift timing,redline and clutch overlap time.
in manual mode the Transmission Conrol Module(TCM) is programmed to shift at preset pre-redline point,maximum downshift rpm is also engine limited.
stock power determines the amount of power each clutch will transfer without slipping,clutch engagement timing and gear overlap,with mods everything will go out of sync,
on a turbo engine the torque on the input shaft and each clutch varies with boost,throttle position and engine speed,altering the shift program will not be easy like changing the stock points,then theres the Sport mode,which works with yaw,wheel speed and steering sensors to figure out which gear to shift to.
the Lancer is coming with a Controller Arear Network-bus(CAN-BUS)for chassis communication,so coming up with as good as factory tuning will be a challenge
