Starting a turbo build on my 04 lancer
OK about the manifold...things happen its economic i guess.....but anyway i received a pm that brought up a good point....."and as far as power its all you need(T25) unless you plan on building ur bottom end..(pistons and rods) our rods can only handle maybe 13 or 14psi of boost then they snap like a tooth pick. you can run 5 to 9psi all day and put out more than 200hp."
I am a noob at this but if both spool about the same why spend the extra money if my engine cant handle the max of the 16g turbo? maybe im looking at this all wrong. again im looking to get more oomph outta my ride not track times. when i buy my EVO MR ill put my life into that!

I will make sure you get another one very soon. I promise you. I am going to see if I can make a bracket for the turbo or at least get a picture of one so everyone sees what I am talking about.
tranny will be fine.. but in the event that you do need a replacement tranny, you can get them from a company called lkq.. i got mine for $300
I'm thinking the t25. Because I'm saving up for an evo MR 07. I am jus lookin to learn on this car an rather break something cheap than expensive on the evo. Lol. When I gt my mr I will put everything on it and marry it lol. Thanks again guys for all your input
if you get a kit or everything you need theres tons of people here in socal that would be down to help you install it! shoot id be down to help you install it! i have plenty of garage and driveway space and all the tools needed. but if you go custom and need stuff welded you would need to get that done at a shop cuzi dont have a welder.. but i think its always better to learn to do things yourself than to have some shop do it for you and say here you go... doing it yourself helps you to learn how things work better.
My thoughts exactly! I am thinking of talkin down turbokits.com cuz they r pricey but buyin a kit an doin it myself then expand from there.

It would be awesome if I could find someone to show me the ropes cuz forums can only do so much. If there are any ppl in the area hits up. I'm in orange county an willing to drive
oh and another thing, check out SCLC.net (so cal lancer club) it all lancers in socal, not so much evo's.. i mean this sites awesome but that sites more for local guys. if you do check it out look me up.. Im HOTCARL
so now that I have decided with a Garrett t25bb turbo, because of my inexperience and not bulking up my bottom end, I was thinking of buying the kit. If I buy everything separately will it fit just as well as a kit? after custom building a kit with a 16G turbo is the same price as a t25 kit so maybe custom will be cheaper. My only concern is fitment. I would like to do it myself and not a shop. I am mostly concerned about intercooler fitment with all the piping.
intercooler and piping is easy. just get a 2.5' evo ebay kit from like cx racing. not that expensive. and comes with couples. just have to mix mach them around till they all hook up right. and maybe make a few cuts.
Arent 4g94 manifolds available directly from RRM?

that with a stock DSM turbo would work fine. And much cheaper than getting a custom manifold fabbed and buying a 16g or sourcing out a t25. I'm pretty sure the stock psi on the DSMs were 8psi anyway. You can change the actuator pretty cheap. or just stick to 8psi if you tune it well enough.
