Description
The Mishimoto Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X Performance Intercooler kit (MMINT-EVO-10KSL) is a direct bolt-on forced induction upgrade engineered specifically for the Evo X’s 4B11T engine and CZ4A chassis. Built around a 3.5-inch thick bar-and-plate aluminum core with cast aluminum end tanks, this intercooler is designed to pull heat out of the charge air fast, keeping intake temperatures in check when boost pressure climbs.
A high-horsepower Evo needs a forced induction system that can actually keep pace, and heat soak or rising air intake temperatures will quietly rob a modified induction engine of the power it’s making. This performance induction upgrade addresses that directly: the strategic fin design inside the core promotes substantial heat exchange while keeping pressure loss across the core to a minimum, so the induction system stays efficient even under sustained boost. Polished 2.5-inch mandrel-bent aluminum piping, four-layer 100-percent silicone couplers with heat-resistant embedded fibers, and stainless steel T-bolt clamps replace the factory rubber connections with hardware built to handle increased boost pressure without failure. On the dyno, this kit is proven for a 10 whp and 10 tq gain, and the core volume is sized to support forced induction turbo setups up to 600 whp, making it just as useful for a track-day Evo as it is for a daily-driven Ralliart.
Vehicle Applications
This is a specific-fit forced induction component for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X platform, not a universal induction system. It bolts directly onto the 2008-2015 Lancer Evolution GSR and 2008-2015 Lancer Evolution MR, and it also fits the 2009 Lancer Evolution RS, the 2010 Lancer Evolution SE, and the 2010-2011 Lancer Evolution MR Touring. Coverage extends to the 2014 Lancer Evolution and the 2015 Lancer Evolution Final Edition, as well as the 2009-2015 Lancer Ralliart and the 2010-2011 Lancer Ralliart Sportback.
