Intakes, Headers, Exhausts, etc.. Basically Any Engine Modification. But Still Wont Do You Any Good Unless You Got The Turbo Going.
Bottom Line No Turbo=No Power-Speed Turbo=Power-Speed
Basically I'd Go Turbo If You Wanna Mess Wit The Big Boys

You wanna drag down the pushrod monsters without forced induction of some sort? Cheat: nitrous...and maybe just maybe.

Are you sure that you have the right engine code?

In the US, the Galant VR4 uses the 4g63T, and the 3000GT VR4 uses the 6g72T . . . The 6a1x engine is the MIVEC 2.0L from the FTO. As far as I know, no Mitsu made it TC, except 1 guy in Japan (a matter of fact, in the whole world as far as I know).

First of all, why are you even think about tagging F-body V8's. their 6 banger counterparts are fair games, IMO? Even a mild TC Lancer will not beat a modern stock C5 vette in the 1/4 mile.

I think he's taking a stab at the engine code from the new style G-VR4's with the TT 6's

Even if you put a turbo on your car, with out being able to run at least 14psi of boost (stock internals) you won't be teaching any f-bodies any lessons anytime soon.

You don't just slap on a turbo and expect to run 13's. It takes alot more than most people think to make an econo car go fast.

Sorry if this is a downer, but it's the reality that will save the humiliation later.

Hehehe...the Lancer engine won't handle above 10+ psi on stock guts. 8+ needs some fuel and an intercooler, but it's definitely a start. 14 psi is something to achieve but definitely with work.

i know this is not exactly the place to branch this post into but im plannin this car out and am maken a list of things to do... and i was tryin to get a list of things to do when i go turbo... i know all the normal stuff, high volume fuel rail, fuel pumps, intercooller, turbo timer, boost controller, but like u said that will only take u to right around 10 psi... but i need a list of other engine componets that i would need to change out... forged pistons would deffinately be one of the first things for 10+ psi can u all help me out on other engine parts?

You'll want to get:

1) forged pistons

2) billet rods or you could have your stock rods shot peened. (cheaper but not as bullet proof)

3) larger injectors size dependent on your HP needs.

4) larger fuel pump 190lph or 255lph

5) fuel management system FMU would be the cheapest and easiest to set up and run, however not recommended for running over 10psi. If your vehicle uses a MAF sensor (which I think it does but I'm not sure) you could use an Apexi S-AFC. But ultimately a stand alone system would be the best, also the most expensive.

6) upgraded ignition system msd or something similar. Also upgraded spark plug wires.

7) metal headgasket

Aside from all the items you had already listed, I think this is about all you need.

But most importantly have someone who knows what they're doing tune your car on a dyno!!! Can't stress this point enough.

Good Luck
