I have noticed some threads about people tuning the ecu, and i was interested in changing mine. i was thinking about changing my af ratio to around 12.1-12.8. has anybody done this and if so, is there noticeable gains?

It is hard to extract hp out of a Lancer that is N/A with some serious engine building. And even then you'd be lucky to see 180hp. Tuning brings out as much power as bolt-ons do.

alright cool. So far I've got:
CAI
Header
High flow catalayic converter
2.5" exhaust
Piggy Back Ecu V.2.

With those mods you're probably in the 105hp-115hp range.

02_lancer

seeing numbers like that makes me wish i saved up money for something else, but hey i guess it's pretty good since we can keep up with some 200hp cars out there

02_lancer

Yeah if do the right stuff then they are not to bad of cars. i like mine. but of course i want it faster haha

02_lancer

I am kinda confused.. cause you said earlier that i could be at like 180 hp

well he probly means like with a turbo..Sadly...N/A is not that good..dont get me wrong i have plenty of mods, but the most u can probly get N/A is atleast 140 whp,and thats generous...

02_lancer

there are turbo kits out there on the rrm website that will provide 200 or 230 hp.

to many people concern them self with numbers. if it feels good, if it pulls you back in the seat then your good to go.

I don't think you have enough mods yet to really warrant tuning it. By the way, your throttle body is probably pointless without a port matched intake manifold.

Amen to that, man. I was so down after I dyno'ed my car I felt like moving on to something more "worthwhile." Then I realized how fun the car is to drive and how many cars I've beaten with it after all the mods put into it. I decided to stay and have more fun with her for a bit longer.
