Just picked me up a new OZ Edition Lancer from Costa Mesa Mitsubishi today. Man I'm I can't beleive the car is so nice compare to my 99 Civic EX. Anyone in southern California turboed one of these car yet? I love the car very much but it doesn't have the ummpp like my old Honda with LS-Vtec motor swap. I heard some shop in LA already turbo these cars. Anyone know the name? I have a crap load of cash ($8000) to spend on a turbo system and some since my divorce . Any info greatly appreciate.

$8000 man thats more than enough to get turbo ... mind sharing some of that with me friend???

Turbos avaiable:

www.roadracemotorsports.com . . . talk to Rob about details

www.rpw.com.au
this i think is their basic turbo kit

(A) RPW Custom turbo manifold
(B) Garret GT-28 Ball bearing turbo rated to 350hp
(C) Proper shielded oil return and feed hoses with rose joints, swivel based and using brass fittings
(D) Brass water fittings
(E) Slimline thermo fans
(F) Turbosmart blow off valve
(G) Dump pipe from turbo to cat converter
(H) Modified stock injectors for greater fuel flow
(I) Rising fuel pressure regulator

 

My divorce was finalized a month ago. Thank god she signed the pre-nup !! Anways I dig around the forums and read alittle here and there. I think I hit up Rob and see what's sup. Is he willing to play with me here.

yo stock lancer, im in Irvine also, when you get your kit together id like to come check it out.....give me a PM when you get it or if you just wanna cruise with some other OZ's in southtown.

 

Which part of Irvine you live in? I'm actually in Lake Forest. Any word on Boni car? I read the post somewhere else here but haven't found any replies about dyno number and reliabilty issues.

Fred<--Go Lancer Go !!!

 

Im in Irvine, in northwood.....Lake forest is just a long Irvine boulevard away......anyway boni's car so far runs great, no dyno yet i dont think but he says its reliable and first gear is almost too fast and he has trouble shifting before redline.

 

Wow that's nice to hear. So what kind of info I can get before I call Rob so I don't sound like a complete idiot? What size the pipings? Turbo make? Manifold? Exhaust? Fuel system?
I once had a GReddy turbo kit on my Honda before, it was ok. Untill the turbo actuator died and the rod decided to make a u-turn out into the turbo and killing everything including the head. Hence I switched over to LS-VTEC. All motor was more reliable I think. I just want the latest scoop on Rob's turbo kit before I plop some money down. I don't want to spend again if the turbo kit is not all that. Just gonna throw some money down and "say here is my car, make it fast". When I had the Honda I spent thousand and thousand of dollars at Dynamic Autosport since they are the Honda expert. But plopping money down and spending a total of 20 grand on a 6 thousand dollar car gets alittle old I think. Any more info guys?

Fred<-- so far you guys are alot better than clubsi.com

 

Moving to n00bville and RPW as of yet does not guarantee their turbos will fit just yet. As for the Road Race turbo, Road Race are DSM gods and they seem to be treating the Lancer with the same sort of care. A very reputable shop.

Hehehe...as for Club Si, they're an "interesting" bunch

 

You are lucky. RRM does installed turbo and you are probably 20 miles away!! SWEET. They are in Santa FE Springs!!

Call Rob he can hook you up.
