Working with a local tuning shop and trying to find either an ECU tune for the non-Evo Lancer, or an Evo tune that can be adapted to the 2.4L engine. I want to move forward with a few mods that I'm going to need a tune for, including but not limited to:

- Intake manifold swap with a ported/polished IM

- New throttle body

- EGR delete (Necessary as the new manifold will not have an EGR port)

- Catback exhaust



So far, this is the only shop that hasn't laughed me off the phone and said "Just get an Evo, dude", so I'm really hoping we can find a solution. With the SE, I spent about 40% less than I would if I bought an Evo off the lot (~$40k for an Evo vs ~$25k for my fully-loaded SE), as well as saving a huge amount on my insurance each month. I'm not looking to pull 350 horses down a quarter mile track in 11 seconds. I just want to turn this into a fun project car that's basically a daily driver with some ***** and a mean stance. With my first project car, I was told "build, not buy", and I'm taking that to heart with this one as well

So if anyone can help me with finding a tune for this I'd really appreciate it. Either by way of a ROM for the 4B12, or an Evo tune that's adapted to the platform, or at least a point in the right direction where we'd be able to find the tunes for ourselves

 

@DDRDiesel Did you find anything else where? It seems like EVO 4B11T only has aftermarket support.

 

I've been in touch with a remote tuner, Rallinspired Performance, and they've informed me that my 4b12 ECU can be tuned. They have the proper unlock for the ECU even if it was locked down, so I'll eventually be going with them once I get the exhaust setup installed

 

I have a 4j11that I would like to turbo but thinking I will need a piggyback ecu. What intake manifold did you get? Evo?
