When it comes the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution there are plenty to choose from, in fact for the novice it can be quite easy to become seriously confused over the car that has many versions. The fact that this is the tenth version of the car should tell you something about the amount of revisions and upgrades that the Lancer has gone through.
This particular model is the handy work of Alex Dunn, this a car that has been modified with a certain amount a care and consideration to the design of the actual car, meaning that from the normal person in street point of view it is possible to see what the car is without being told.
However just because this Lancer is clearly what it is, that does not mean that it has no guts for a lot of the modifications cannot be seen from outside. There are plenty of changes that allow this car to produce around 360 HP.
The Lancer Evo IX was built over a span of two years, its standard 2.0 litre engine with either the five speed or six speed manual gearbox, would have produced around 280 HP, so clearly this featured has been modified enough to increase substantially increase the power, without spoiling the looks.

Cosworth CNC Ported Big Valve Cylinder Heads Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX
Product Description for the Cosworth CNC Ported Big Valve Cylinder Head:
(4G63- MIVEC) Built for the (06) Mitsubishi EVO… For over 40 years, Cosworth has been the leader in innovative multi valve cylinder head design. Their latest advancement is the Cosworth CNC Ported Big Valve Cylinder head range. Modified from OE cylinder head castings, substantial gas flow improvements and upgraded valve train components offer superior performance for your high performance engine. Each original cylinder head design is carefully evaluated and tested to establish the improvements required to meet the target performance level. Hours of testing and flow bench validation are used to determine the best advanced port design yielding maximum usable power and response. However, there is more to cylinder design than just maximum flow. It is critical that port velocity is maintained to ensure drivability and valve train components are matched to guarantee reliable performance. Once all of these factors have been tested and validated, the final port contour is digitized. Using the digitized program, we then reshape both intake and exhaust ports using a 5 axis CNC mill producing and accurate and consistent port shape every time. In addition to re-shaping and enlarging the intake and exhaust ports, most Big Valve Cylinder heads feature a re-shaped combustion chamber to un-shroud the valves increasing air flow and performance. After machining, each cylinder head is ultrasonically cleaned, serialized and then hand assembled with select high performance valve train components, ready to install on you engine. Features include: Enlarged Intake and Exhaust ports Large diameter stainless steel intake valves Large diameter Inconel exhaust valves Hi Rev valve springs Titanium Retainers Hardened Steel spring platforms Reshaped combustion chamber on most applications Flow bench proven design Dyno tested Machined Cosworth Logo Multi angle valve job Pre-assembled, ready to install
