i wanna be like errrbody else and start a build thread. so here it goes. its gonna be more of a time line of my car as well.

back when i first got her... put a nice lil drop on her.. tein s techs


soon came ebay intake and obx header


black grill and some new wheels..



a lil fun

thats about where she sits now..

and now on to the turbo kit

im pretty satisfied with the numbers. i had it a lil higher and was still making power but i was puffing a lil white smoke between pulls so i called it quits. once i get my new motor we'll see what we can pull out of my cute lil turbo.. im calling it nibbler cuz its tiny but it eats ALOT

other mods

tein s tech springs
rrm rear strut bar
rrm lower tie bar
rrm lightweight crank pully
progress rear sway bar
energy suspension sway bar end links
custom cat back exhaust

 

Nice man liking the way you introduced it

 

nice work man. how u like the stec's? lookin to buy a new tool and a strut/spring tool may be the next one


josh

 

haha thanks.. making a thread actually takes time... lol im satisfied with it though.


i like them a lot! not what you would expect from lowering springs.. very comfortable ride.. very close to stock feeling just with a lower ride hight
i did the loan a tool thing at autozone for a compessor tool and did mine.. only took a couple hours.

i still would really much rather have coilovers though.. one of these days

 

hey when you said cheap fpr what kind and how well did it work? most people said don't trust the ebay ones so zi was trying to figure out did you get it from ebay.

Nice build I can not wait to start mine 4 more months and I will be ready to boost.

 

yeah its an ebay one.. ive heard different things from different people. a couple of my friends on sclc said they have the same exact one and they have never had a problem with it.. ill give it a shot and see how it works though.. havent actually put it on yet though..

 

Ya as long as you have that wideband that will tell you long before any damage happens if the fpr is junk might as well give it a shot.

 

yeah for sure.. and it was free.. so im not complaining.

 

Socal...nice. That burnout pic is at MMNA in cypress isnt it?

 

haha no that pic was actually takin in the buisness district in lancaster ca. me and a friend were bored.. looks a lot like mitsubishi headquarters though..lol

 

well let me know how that fpr works out I would like to save alot of money if it turns out great. and if not which one would you guys prefer

AEM or Aeromotive FPR?

 

from what i hear theyre both just as good.. both do the same thing, so i think its just personal preference..

 

so my tune date is scheduled for may 31st, memorial day. paul at yimi sport sounds pretty excited to tune my car and im expecting some good numbers from one of the best ecuflash tuners on the west coast. i will post up some dyno sheets as soon as i get them . i have a few updated parts as well. i picked up and installed an evoVIII ecu, jdm evoX map sensor and an innovate lm1 wideband. the car runs beautifully with the evo ecu and ive just been doing some n/a data logging. been messing with the 2 step a lil bit too and im pretty excited to try it out with the slicks once im boosted. my goal is to be in the mid 13 second range right after tunning.

 

Ok I never heard of a two step on a lancer, I like the way it sounds on an evo!!! How do I get one of these on my car is it something in flashing the ecu?

 

well if you have an evo ecu then you already have 2 step. every evo ecu is programed with 2 step. its just a matter of setting the rpm you want 2 step to kick in at. its actually called a stationary rev limiter. when you pull up your rom on ecuflash you have to open the table called stationary rev limit. by changing that number you are changing what your car rev limits itself at when your car is sitting at a complete stop. i currently have my limit set at 4000rpm.
