More Power To Your EVO

• Mitsubishi Evo Big Power Kit Launched – up to 511 bhp

Oxfordshire based Owen Developments are renowned for their innovative development of turbocharger and high performance engine technologies. Since the mid-eighties part of their expertise has been to rebuild and blueprint turbochargers for both fast road and motorsport competition cars.

They are also the Garrett Performance Centre for European, African and the Middle East providing the latest range of Garrett Ball Bearing Turbocharger combinations.

They have also recently been appointed by Garrett Motorsport Engineering USA as their Garrett WRC Turbo Centre.

In addition Owen Developments were responsible for providing for Mitsubishi Motors in the UK the development, engineering and supply of their Lancer Evolution FQ kits with power outputs of up to 400 bhp.

Now Owen Developments are launching their Mitsubishi Evo Big Power Kit suitable for all Evos ranging from series 4 to 9 which have already had the FQ400 engine modifications.

The latest power boost kit, gives up to 511 bhp at 7,100 rpm and 426 lb ft of torque at 5,219 rpm.

By designing a new inlet manifold Owen Developments can now use the latest remote wastegated GT30 range of Garrett high performance ball bearing turbochargers. Having a remote wastegate allows for a more efficient turbine housing which in turn provides more boost and less ‘turbo-lag’.

The new Big Power Kits can provide between 405 and 511 bhp depending on the customer’s requirements.

Brian Owen, managing director, said, "Customers wanting our new Big Power Kit must make sure their Lancer Evo engine has already been significantly modified to FQ400 specification. At this stage we cannot talk about what price these new kits will be because that will depend upon the specification and condition of the engine. In every case we need customers to talk to us directly so we can discuss with them what specification their Evo engine is and what specification Evo Big Power Kit we need to supply."
