yeah faster, sooner spool. i dont have a 2.4, so idk what is needed for the water feed, the only reason I know it needs something is because i glanced at an RRM turboed 2.4 once and noticed that mitsu used the location for something else. a big enough brass T would probably suffice.

 

I have one question.. Can I use the OEM ralliart turbo? manifold,pipings and intercooler

 

and yeah I have a 2.4 GTS that Im planning to put turbo on

 

Yes I believe you can use the ralliart manifold and turbo...I know the evo x stuff will fit

 

how long will it take?

 

how long will what take?

 

to install that turbo?

 

Well to take it off mine and put on yours, probably like 2 days

 

Best bet is to source your own parts, brand new from respected manufacturers, get the turbo kit installed at a respectable tuner shop. I know that this way maybe way cheaper but may end up costing you more down the road.

Honda tuners who upgrade to turbos usually cost them upwards of $8k some source used HKS and GReddy kits, but still end up spending $4-5k in upgrades. Reason being is that they want clean reliable builds.

Since the new gen Lancers from the last gen people went cheap, though no one wants to pay for a turbo kit specific kit for their cars such as RRM they scrap whatever will fit for a 20-30hp bump at less that 6 psi.

 

that is SSOOOO relative it depends on who mounts the kit and what deals you get on buying the parts if you need everything at the moment then spend 5,000 on parts plus pay a guy that is "certified" into what he or she does , I respect that but My car runs fine and I mounted the car with a friend of mine so i spend only 1600 on the kit, again the money thing is so relative that honestly is up t the owner to decide what to do with his own car

 

I really wanted to put turbo on my car with the RA turbo stuff, but no one can give me a solid YES it will work on the GTS. I'm still waiting.

 

the only reason you are still waiting, is because the ralliart is a 2.0L and you have the 2.4. You should contact RRM and see if the manifolds differ from 2.0 to 2.4. if they are the same manifold, yes the ralliart stuff will fit, but you may need some custom intercooler piping, and most likely a custom downpipe.

 

how much did ther whole process cost you

 

just go to a muffler shop and they can adapt all the piping of the intercooler as for the manifold all fits even o the 2.4L

 

initial cost of kit was about 3200
all the extra parts that i put into it (new gauges, header wrap, etc) came out to about a grand maybe.

people always say, wow thats so expensive for a turbo kit!

yeah well does RRMs kit come with gauges, a new a-pillar, a whole new oil pan with welded -10an bung, SS braided oil return, turbo timer, MBC, etc. etc. all that little stuff added to a lot, but it was worth it.
