new thread for new product never before heard off... also pics of this stuff.

It sounds awesome!!

 

Lol, it's not Dave's product, he is just a reseller.

Nonetheless, basically, anti-lift bushings change the castor angle which helps prevent the nose from lifting under hard acceleration, thus the name. Technically, rotational forces of the axle cause the suspension to extend, by changing the suspension angle it's harder for those forces to do what they want. Much like trying to push a block up a steep slope by pushing straight forward. They also serve to reduce understeer and increase cornering traction.

For a good example look at an R/C buggy. They have huge castor so that when you turn, the wheels start to lay over on their side. If you then roll the chassis you'll notice the wheels start to straighten back up but the turning radius stays the same.

One older member on the Mirage site (he is in his 60s but still a hard auto-x racer) did his and he aboslutely loved his. You will have to get your front end realigned after installing it tho, because with it installed you will have too much toe in.

EDIT:
MODS: if you want to move this to a new topic, feel free to do so. We have drifted away from RPW into Whiteline bushings and I apologize for the .

 

Will double check with some of the other Miragers and see.... not sure if they have to be pressed in or not. My suspension upgrades went on hold, pending what I was / am doing with the car. As for hte part number, the Lancer's chassis is the CG, right?

 

makeing new thread... so mods can move this info

edit:nm dave made a new threaed in suspension tech

For those interested just finished another lovely turbo conversion on a 2.0 lancer - with a motec system pushed out with a new 370hp ball bearing turbo 270hp at the wheels on 12 psi boost stock motor, other than had gasket and rpw stage 1 turbo spec camshaft.

Enjoy the photos and as you can see the design of the kit is still one of the best out there.

 

Oh for those interested as well - a customer of ours with the 1.8 lancer engine, with our baby 250hp turbo on his car pushed 13.8 on normal tyres, and 13.2 with slicks down the quarter mile time.

The customer with the 2.0 / motec system hasn't run yet but somehow I think he may be doing a better time somehow.....

 

wow that manifold is great looking... keep up the good work dave... and make sure you give us those times when the lancer runs

 

INSANE!!! I didn't even think you can get so much from a stock motor. It does have a standalone but 270whp WOW!!! Keep up the good work Dave!

 

awesome dave.. Is it a decompression headgasket used? If so what would you reduce the effective compression to in order to run 12psi.. or is that a trade secret..

 

^ i want to know to cause will be ordering the decompression gasket soon.

 

dam, those are super quick times. puts most of our times to shame, and thats from a 1.8l engine!

I really hope someone picks up an rpw turbo kit in the states and gives us a full rundown of the power. With all the options rpw offers (decompression gasket, cams, etc) you could have one helluva mean lancer

 

The decomp head gasket we use on most cars is our 1.10mm unit which easily allows 13 psi on stock internals with no problems at all. IT all comes down to good tuning - we finished another lancer recently with the greddy emanage instead - that layed down 220hp on only 10 psi boost with the 320hp garret turbo instead and throttle resposne was amazing.

 

God, I can't wait till my car is running and I have income again.

 

why is it i hear a lot of postings saying "dont go past 9psi on stock internals", but these guys are hitting 13 psi, with a decomp gasket? I just got a turbo kit, and if i could run 13 psi on it, that would be fantastic

 

u have to remember that these guys are actually tuning the cars... they arent just putting on a FMU and letting it handle the boost... they all have at least a emanage and probably upgraded injectors, etc, etc.
