Hey guys, i was planning on getting a lancer for the longest time and getting as much HP and TQ i could out of it and try and make it faster than a stock evo. I gave up on that plan a little while ago.
I'm going to be getting an EVO within 5 months but i need to calculate how much $$$ i will need with some basic but powerful mods. Im guessing i will have around 3-5k to spend on mods. Im kinda noobish on evos i dont even know where to start. Im looking for the most performance.

If anyone has some tips please let me know

 

exhaust and intake are most people's first choice. my route took me to exhaust, to cams, mbc and other items

 

Do a search - there are TONS of threads on this as you can imagine.

Reflash, full turboback exhaust, cams, cam gears, gauges to start. That should cover $3k with installations.


Edit - or go with the staged packages from people like Bushur or Vishnu.

 

check out www.buschurracing.com for their staged upgrades. you will likely find the most performance for your future EVO you are looking for.
From high 12's to mid 11's under 5K. What's your choice of weapon?

I was looking at the Stage upgrades from Vishnu earlier. I like those but i want to know the pricing on the last one. 550-600hp i think is what it was.... the one before is about $2500 so i wonder how much that package will be. I will call them later about it.. If its less then 7k i might keep my car stock for a little bit longer so i can get that but i'm not sure.

 

you will be surprised how much performance it has out of the box, cannot even compare it to a modded lancer. search the forums and you will find what you are looking for in mods.

 

If I were you, I'd wait and get the Evoluton MR when it comes out here in the U.S. Just drive it as it is from factory, you don't need to touch it. Want proof? Click below...

Most people cannot afford the MR. The new '04 Evo with wing, sunroof and sound will be 33K MSRP. What do you think a hot limited MR will be? At least 36K plus insane dealer markups and no test drives. It will not be easy to pick up an MR, especially at first.

3 to 5k will buy you some good power. Turboback exhaust, boost control, intake and a reflash are a good start and will provide nice gains over stock.

 

i agree with nastea1
get exhaust, cams, mbc/ebc

dont replace stock intake, its a waste of money

 

BOOST GAUGE!

Before you do ANYTHING, get yourself a boost gauge and make sure you know what's going on . That is of course, if you didn't get the sport package,

 

...that would be my first mod..... for sure....

 

Boost gauge, boost controller, K&N Drop in filter and most importantly... Dynoflash.

 

Since you admit to your noob status, heres my first mod suggestion:

Learn how to handle 271 hp, then move on. I cannot grasp how people are thinking of modding an Evo before they even own it, not even realizing how fast the stock piece really is.....

 

Amen to that my brother^^^
