ok you all win..now that all the facts are laid down i have to agree that what he is doing is smarter than buying an evo but i still think that after all the cost and work he better get a lancer tattood on his ***.. i know i would

 

I def. agree. he has to love it that much to put 10000 anything into it, english pounds, euros, dollars, whatever. Thats a chunk of money just to have the fastest NA lancer in the country.

 

Of course, when I say it like that maybe it's not so much money after all. Faster NA Lancer in the country.... hhmmmmmmm

 

thats a pricy swap but damn it will be pretty cool,good luck with the swap
98octane! jeezzzz out here the best Ive seen is 91,its what I use in my r6 but I wish I could pump it up with 98

 

I'll have a couple more pics this week, the engine is now pretty much ready to go in, but I've got a few other things to buy first; the piggy back ECM and I'm also considering getting big brakes and traction control fitted to.

 

looks very good, keep it up

 

sweet

hope everything goes as smooth as planned!

 

I don't know if the 2.4 really needs any type of traction control unless you're talking about the LSD?

 

I was thinking of trying RaceLogic's traction control - it can be switched on or off, with 3 settings, and uses the ABS sensors, and cuts power to a cylinder and/or brakes a wheel.

I want it mainly for our wet and icy winters.

 

Very impressive. Someone with a vision and a dream, that actually does the work to get it done, even if it's not the fastest car on earth, which is what most people seem to care about these days.

 

This is cool. I was in Italy, 90% of the cars have engines smaller than 2.0L. His car really will be faster than most of the other ones around. $2.50 per litre. For the Americans, fuel in Canada is more expensive than it is in the USA and Canada's prices are hanging around $1.00-$1.20 per litre. That's how much gas is in Europe. About $120 to nearly fill the tank. $150 to fill the effing thing. I'm glad I live here

 

Yeah, I will get this finished hopefully next month. I have come across a small problem however, but I believe I can fix it.

The Heated Oxygen Sensors for the exhaust.

The other engines have Sensor 1 in the exhaust manifold, and Sensor 2 in the downpipe.
The Ralliart has Sensor 1 in the downpipe (the 2.0's sensor 2) and Sensor 2 in the mid-pipe (this sensor is missing on my car as it is part of the floor wiring harness.

So I'll need to find a solution to that, possibly getting the floor wiring harness.

 

I don't get it. No 2.4s,but plenty of I6s, V6s, V8s, V12s, etc. No gas guzzlers, but this is the country that makes the Land Rover, Aston Martin, Rolls and Bentley?

 

Well the thing is the lancer is a C-Segment car... the people who buy it do so for the fuel economy and price. Therefore no cars comparable to the lancer have an engine bigger than 2.0, and even they are rare, with 1.6 being the norm.

Anyhow, come across another issue today.

I've been a bit late to realise this but I noticed my car has a return fuel supply, whereas the 2.4 does not... I'm not sure how much difference this makes, but I'd imagine you could just seal up the return line.

So thats Oxygen sensors and fuel supply that need a solution! I think what I can do about the oxygen sensor, is take the sensor from my 1.6 engine harness, that fits into the exhaust manifold, and wire it up to wherever it needs to be wired to to become the mid-pipe sensor.

And as for the fuel, unless the fuel pump will malfunction with this, I think it's ok to just seal up the fuel return line, as no fuel will be returned. I'll get the shop to look at that properly when the time comes to fit it.

 

I've had a more detailed look at the two fuel systems and they are quite different actually... So this is going to be the biggest hurdle.
