I just bought a custom t4 turbo kit and need a little help. Is there anyone running one of these set ups currently? I have an auto its my daily driver. Any advice ?

 

Is the kit a complete bolt-on? Or is it one of those t3/t4 kits from ebay that requires you to complete the piping and will fall apart in a few weeks anyway?

 

I think everyone in the lancer forum needs to do this.

BUT several mirage guys use the t3t4 setup. mirageforums.net

Also, what i will say is i hope its a good t3/4

 

where'd u get the kit from?

 

omar uses a t3/t4, and he has the fastest lancer around

 

I'm hoping for his sake that it truly isn't a T4. More info needed to help you bud!

 

ya, what size is the turbo? Because you could be spoolin up at 2500RPM's... or 5500RPM's lol. T3/T4 is over doing it just a little on our setup. Only reason omar had it is because he was actually boosting that much to need it.

 

Just because it's a T3/T4 doesn't mean the Lancer wouldn't benefit from it, but there just wouldn't be a much useable powerband...like say in my 8k redline Civic.

 

you trading off 5 or 10 wheel horsepower for a much LESS usable powerband probably.

 

You can buy a new car but you can't buy a new brain. If you just want to make fun of people, keep it to yourself.

 

Until this guy says where he got the kit from, we don't know what it will be like. But yeah a t3/t4 would be a little big for just a turbo lancer, without a built motor and high boost.

 

it is a T3/T4 turbo kit that I bought from a guy through ebay. He had it installed but said its a tight fit between the radiator and engine. I dont really care too much about having the most power out of it cause I have an automatic, I just want a lil more power to go with the look of my car. Also it came with a 10 to 1 FMU and I read in a forum someone was using a 12 to 1 FMU, which is best. thanks for all replies.

 

how are you planing on tuning it?

 

Im gonna tune it with a S-AFC running 5psi.

 

That will work well with 5psi. My only concern is with the turbo itself. Do you know what brand it is? Is it a cheap ebay knockoff? Or is it a properly manufactured turbo? I would hate to see your setup get messed up from a cheap turbocharger.
