well mate, i am from NZ, and havent heard of your Lancer model, is it NA ( normally aspirated) or is a turbo??? Wat engine size auto or 5spd, then I can give you some info........:smoka:

[yellowlancerwhat]

it isnt turbo it is a sohc 2.0 5 speed...im from the us and i think it is just out here but i dont no....and the engin is called teh 4G63 i hope that helps..thank you

ok mate,
firstly breathing is important,
1) Airbox - KN filter is a must, running standard enclosed airbox is important, as pod filter airboxes look good but hot under bonnet temps, are sucked into engine creating hotter internal temps which affect your power( colder internal temps is wat you want ) This breath in filter mod will give you noticeable power increase.
2) Exhaust - Breathing out and back pressure is important, it frees up your rev range and combined with your Filter mod a big diiference.
2.5" exhaust is all you need, 3" look good but will have a possible decrease affect in your power as back pressure is also important.
SO FAR IN NZ THIS WOULD COST $800.00
3) Computer - There are a few different ECU chips out there to command your airflow operations, and fuel mixture and pressure. A slightly higher flow adjustable fuel regulator and possibly bigger injectors to pulse you more fuel...more power
Airflow controllers are prolific in NZ, the range that is......recommended
4) Fuel - Running as higher octane as possible is also VERY important, forget the crap about the lower the octane the more economical, if its power you want 60%pump/40 race gas ratio, 70/30 is fine.
5) Bodyweight - remember that stereo equipment can be you worst enemy, heavy sub boxes, amps speakers carry lots of weight, and also the bigger alloy you put on the car the heavier it is..
HOPE THIS HELPS

ok thank you very much....over here aem and injen make a cold air intake for y car...wouldyou sugest one of those...i dont relly know anyhtign about what u sugested....but is te cold air intake the same tign as what u seid?..thank you again

yes if you cold intake is vented externally so that it is breathing ambient air,that is good

[yellowlancerwhat]

ok thax..iaem cold air intake but i didnt put it in yet..i got it yesterday and it is rainin lol so i dotn wana weork int eh rain...but im wonderin do u no anyhtign about bypass valves tokeep water out..some people are sayin i dont need one bu i dont wana take the chance if they are wrong..shodl i just get 1 to be safe or do u no if i need one or not? thaank you

[1EVOIV]

I wouldnt waste my money unless you have alot of flooding where you are, i wouldnt waste my money. you can check if there is moisture getting into fuel or intakes through taking off your oil filler cap and checking residue build up under oil filler cap on your engine anyway...
I forgot one thing ..if power is wat u want money no object NOS this will make you smile...cheapish thrill:flash: :flash: :flash: :flash:

[yellowlancerwhat]

ok thank you....hen i will jusyt put it on and watch it and c what happenes and if i get wattr commin in i willget th valve..it is under 50$and with the exhaust shoudl i get a high flow cat back r header back or do the high flow cat and trhen say for teh turbo and do teh header then so i dotn have to spend it twice?...what would u sugest,,

[flylwsi]

first, grammar...


there are a couple turbo kits for your car.
think realistic. are you going to be able to afford one within the next 6 months?
if not, get a header

if you can afford the turbo, don't do anything and save for the kit.

all the usual stuff can be done, i/h/e...

after that, it's up to you as to what route you go
