Ok, I dont care if my car is not crazy fast, I just want it to be faster than the average auto Ralliart.

1. My buddy told me there is not an intake yet for the auto. Does anyone know when it will be available?

2. Im also thinking maybe all I want is a better short ram intake? What brand do you reccomend for a short ram for the auto?

3. For now im going to get a magnaflow muffler put on just for the look and sound, but that wont give any performance at all right? Im getting either 14829 or 14827 magnaflow muffler welded on. Later down the road I might get the rest of the exhaust, but thats only if there is an intake available.

4. Is there anything else important I should do to my car to make it a bit faster? I dont want anything like a turbo or anything serious like that. I just want the basics so I can be a bit quicker than the average auto Ralliart.

Thanks.

 

1. Yes, there is an intake for the auto. It is short ram only. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=88371

2. AEM will have a short ram out for the auto RA shortly as well, so keep that in mind just in case you want options.

3. No, a new muffler will give you no noticeable performance gains. The exhaust is tuned for optimum response. The only thing you'll gain is the sound.

4. There are a few things here and there you can put on. check out www.roadracemotorsports.com for what they offer for the Ralliart. They are the leading supplier of aftermarket RA parts currently.

 

Thanks man. My buddy told me about RRMS as well. Thanks. I will check it out.

Do you think the auto will ever get a CAI instead of a SRI? Thanks again!

 

It may...the problem with that is the transmission is right down in the area where the filter would sit. One guy tried installing the Injen CAI on his auto RA, and he had to greatly modify it in order to make it fit.

I wouldn't rule it out, though....just gotta get the filter to sit somewhere else. Easier said than done, though!

 

Thanks for the help.

I will look through RRMS but What other basic speed upgrades are there? Nothing like a turbo though, just more basic stuff for some extra hp. How about headers for the auto Ralli, or something else?

 

Header dude, just one, it's a 4 cylinder
Also, the ralliart came with a header stock. Putting a new one on would be pointless unless you were getting into forced induction and major exaust changes.

 

Every car pretty much has a header. But most stock headers are very restrictive so by gettin an aftermarket race header their is more air flow which means more power. Some cars can get almost up to 20 hp by just an aftermarket header alone.

 

Most cars have exhaust manifolds, which look like a header, but just inefficiently push the exhaust into the downpipe and out the rest of the exhaust assembly. Our header was tested by Rock and the folks at RRM, and it was shown that it's actually a pretty efficent design. That's why (at least for NA use) they're not going to release one.

Ralli, if you're feeling a little adventurous, you can look into RRM's downpipe. That's one of the restrictive points on the exhaust system. They claim about a 10 hp gain with one of those.

 

Concerning the intake...check out this site. It says a cold-air is available for the automatically equipped 2.4L lancer. Maybe look into it... http://www.performancecenter.com/veh...004&sf3=Lancer
Go to engine and performance and click air intake kits, and then 2.4L, and then it is right there where it says Race division cold-air intake system for automatic transmissions. It is made by injen so it is probabley reliable...

 

Nope, by far the majority of cars come stock with an exaust manifold. Just simple thing that bolts to the head, directs the exaust into 1 pipe.
A header is curved and each pipe is the same length. May not seem like it would make a big difference, but it does.
Putting a new header on the RA would be pointless.

 

Most cars you really arent going to recognize THAT much of a power gain, a header is just a stepping stone basically for other higher up performance parts (like cams for instance) that will help rid the car of the exhaust a bit faster. But without the other parts, a header really wont do too much on our cars. It sure didnt do a thing for my eclipse after i put the greddy one on. The car ive seen with the best gain from a header (in 4 cylinder cars that is) is the sentra which jumped it up 15. I am not saying you are wrong by any means, just puttin in my .02

 

I put a header on my old SE-R and really felt it - seems pointless on a N/A ralliart though.

LSD and rear sway bar are the 2 best mods for this car IMHO (except of course better tires)
