Can't tell from that site, but shouldn't a turbo'd car have a single step colder plugs? I know my turbo'd Civic will run a 2-step colder NGK plug.

1. The plugs are correct if your running a none turbo. If your running a turbo you need to run a NGK BKR6EIX. Its one step colder. I regapped mine to 0.35. Its also an iridium plug and a little pricey but well worth it.

2. As for gapping 0.30 is way to low. Look at the sticker underneath your hood. It say like 0.36-0.41 i think. Thats for stock or non turbo. You want a smaller gap when turboing.

3. As for the oil return line plumbing, Just remove the lower oil pan and have drill a hole in it and weld the fitting in. This way you know it wont leak.

Just make sure you mark where you want drilled and double check your mark or else youll need a new pan like me.

The pan i drilled works it just sux. I need a new one.

On topic: i thought the bkr7e's were two steps colder plugs then stock?

The Bkr7e's are the evo plugs. Everyone has them listed wrong for the lancer. Our stock motor runs a 5 series plug. By NGK standards, the higher the number the colder the plug. So a 6 would be one step higher.

As for the drain just go to the hardware store.
