Mitsu Evolution Max Gear Speeds

[Pocket_Rocket]

Looking for maximum gear speeds for Mitsubishi Evolutions.. Both MR and IX.
Anyone know where I can find this data? I have been searching for a while.

[koho2731]

if you know the gear ratio you can use a gear speed calulator to figure ont the top speed for each gear

[wrx_snobordr]

its in the owners manual.

Ya know.. like a knucklehead I did not even check that. I will have to take a look. Looking for max 4th gear speed in a 6 speed. Was having discussion / debate with someone.

Hope its published in teh book. That would be awesome

[wrx_snobordr]

Yeah, im 99% certain they have a break down of max gear speed for every version aswell as gear ratios. I remember reading it when i was waiting for everything to get finalized with the purchase.

4th gear max speed for non MR IX is around 112-113 I believe, hitting the rev limiter.Max speed for MR is 111-112 in 4th..

I found a thread where these were ran through the calculator and they came up with 104-105 mph for the 6 speed. I will check my book when I get home.
All I can find online is ratios

Craig, if you want you can take my MR out for a test drive and find out

I am crossing the line in 4th gear redline in my MR @110.x..I am hitting the limiter just as I as crossing..I found a thread where these were ran through the calculator and they came up with 104-105 mph for the 6 speed. I will check my book when I get home.

The MR is basicly a 180mph+ car with some poer mods and 8k rpm redline :)

I am looking for something documented but would be happy to take it for a spin and see how different it feels then mine. Shame they did not make Electric Blue in MR :cry:

[S4toSTI]

ur telling me the speed limit in 4th in the 5 and 6 speed are the same... that sux.

[silver05bullet]

i think its around 112 stock but if u raise the rev limiter u can go hire

[S4toSTI]

SO 5th must suck.

[peteyturbo]

4th gears in the MR and IX 5 speed are very close, yes, but EVO8 5 speed 4th gear is a bit longer, about 120 I think. And yes, they fall on their face when shifting to 5th but the IX is not as bad, but it has a lower top speed I believe..I think with about 600whp and a 9kRPM redline (somewhat common anymore) and aero mods, you can have a 200mph capable MR, don't forget at that speed the MR should be making roughly30% more downforce at that speed then a regular EVO..

[peteyturbo]

You bought that car for the COLOR!!!:furious: j/k I was about to get an elec. blue SSL package until I found out I could get the MR for another 700 dollars..I am looking for something documented but would be happy to take it for a spin and see how different it feels then mine. Shame they did not make Electric Blue in MR :cry:

Absolutely 100% yes Searched all dealerships for it. Have no problem saying I got exactly what I wanted. Had two Evos and both were kept inside.. My car and a GG MR.. I had my choice and I chose.

[peteyturbo]

Welp, it's a win-win situation I guess..Absolutely 100% yes Searched all dealerships for it. Have no problem saying I got exactly what I wanted. Had two Evos and both were kept inside.. My car and a GG MR.. I had my choice and I chose.

[Pocket_Rocket]

Agree but would love to see that VR4 and have a ride if you still have it.
BTW back on topic.. I am going to go see if the owners manual has it to see if "published"

[markley02]

I would have liked to get it in Blue myself, but I really like the MR

[Piro]

read your owners manual, is there.

[Pocket_Rocket]

Glad you got what you like.. thats important.. Especially when you get above 30G. If they had it in blue I would have one. Will look forward to seeing yours at meets though. Nice to see the Evo poplulation growing...

Sorry, but a drunk driver turned it into this

and put me in the hospital for a minute!!I had 4 GVR4's but basicly left them for the EVO..After the black (fast) one was totaled by a truck while parked, I figured I could not win with those cars and didn't have the time,money, and rescources to build another at the time.. Here is a link to the pics..http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d43/awd4dr/GVR4/ And this is one of my fav pics of the fast one..
