Yet another thread about Turboing a 03 lancer.
I have been lucky so far I have only had a pipe blow once and that was cause i forgot to tighten the clamp that connects to the throttle body lol no issues since no cel no overheating, (havent been able to drive on regular basis either though I am pulling it into the garage tomorrow to pull out the rad and get a solution for the hose resting on the header. Also gonna pull my hub knuckle off and get the new bearing replaced.
sorry for all the questions I just got paid and I want to clear the oil part as of today besides waiting.
hey I cant seem to find the oil feed for the td05hr turbo. Im getting the banjo fitting right now, but what length and size stainless steel hose did you use? do you have any links. and how did you install the feed in the oil filter?

you need 4 ft, this will give you enough line to route it however you like. i think mine is 1/4' diameter. i bought a glowshift evo/lancer oil sandwich adapter off ebay for like $30 works mint not a drop of oil has been spilled. Or there is always that allen bolt directly above the oil filter in the block but I was getting confused with the different adapters and such I needed so I went the the sandwich which made things much simpler IMO

Ok guys so Senate will a mirage radiator drop into my car? I seen one online that looks like the Upper hose connects further towards the drivers side around this area which would solve my issue as long as the radiator fits. It also looks like the bottom hose is in the same spot as ours, its looking like the 1" move will be a pain kinda without it looking ghetto.
as long as both the connections are closer to the driverside it should work just fine. lol
my half size is for a civic. had to modify the bottom connection point a little for it to work.
radiator is a radiator. just need the connections on the driveside, u can find a radiator hose that will work at your local parts store if the top or bottom arent in the same places. i think my upper radiator tube is for a malibu, i cut it in half and it was the rights bends, and my lower radiator pipe is off a silverado.
if its not right, u can make it work!

Thats possible... that would be sweet if it worked, its just so damn close I would have to find something metal to come right off the radiator cause that header is right there
Also just a thought....i havent owned an 02-03 lancer in quite a while but isnt it possible to shift the radiator over an inch or two if you drill new mounting points in the frame?

Another note I bought a cheap front wheel bearing removal install kit from harbor freight and it works mint
no trouble at all pulling the old bearing and installing the new one Yes the only thing is not sure how to keep the bottom secured without cutting the factory mounts and rewelding them.
