Banana does Dubai!

Between 6th to 8th April 2007, The Banana will be flying in to Dubai for a tuning session to formally kick off the UAE chapter of Team Fruity.

Equipped with his trusty notebook and Innovate wideband O2 kit, 4 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolutions ranging from stock to the only Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR RS in the Gulf region will be tuned for street and track. A Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX will be specially tuned with multiple MIVEC maps to allow optimal performance in a multitude of environments.

Already, the Evolution VIII MR RS has been tuned remotely, bringing power up from a stock 250 whp under a setup consisting of 3" TBE, Walbro GSS342 255lph fuel pump, open element filter) and to a staggering 342 whp and over 340 lb/ft wtq (with the addition of HKS 272 cams). And that's just with the stock 9.8T turbocharger!

Team Fruity cars are benchmarked using DataLogLab, a leading data analysis tool used in the tuning process, from which power and torque curves are generated, and providing a consistent methodology for power and torque graph generation across the Team Fruity network.

Stay tuned for results of each tuning session...
