My buddy wants to know how to get more horsepower out of his 04 Lancer which is an automatic. Any ideas please reply.

 

Start with the basics... better flowing intake... better flowing exhaust....
work from there...

TURBO!

minor: ecu, intake, exhaust, headers etc. Since its an auto, theres not much he can do to make it significtanly faster ( i know, i use to have an auto es) besides a turbo, but those minor things are a start.

 

No one makes turbo kits for the 04 Lancers yet (excluding the Ralliarts). If he does decide to go turbo he's going to need a few extra items since Mitsu changed the 04's fuel system to returnless.

 

RRM makes one, you can use the same turbokit for the o2-o3 on the o4... the engine hasnt changed from those years, its still 120hp/130trq.

 

Right, but the fuel system has. It's now a returnless system. You'll have to buy either a digital fmu and put additional injectors in the intake pipe or convert the fuel system to a returnable system.

You can still buy the RRM kit for the 04 but you'll need to buy those extra items for the fuel supply.

 

This isn't really a how to. Moving to the Newbie forum.

I hear you get a lot of horsepower by looking around and running searches. The forums have been here for a long time. If you think you're the first person to ask how to get horsepower out of a Lancer...well....
