I've been really interested in putting a turbo on my 4b11 engine, but I've been hearing that I should keep it Naturally aspirated... now this is a problem for me because I love blow off valves and turbos ahahaha.

but i suppose that the problem is because I have a higher compression rate (11:1)(if i am correct)...
so I'm asking for opinions and advice;
Guys who have gone the turbo route: what kind of turbo did you use? what engine mods did you have to make? intercooler brand and piping, the works? how did you do it, what problems did you run in to, and what problems do you currently have with your car, if any?

the guys who chose the N/A route:
whats the max amount of extra HP you can try and get?
my goal is to make it at least faster than a stock evo x, if possible.... I'm just jelous of evo's lol. If only i had an extra 30 G's.... :/
What was the entire process any of you guys did, PLZ make a list and detail if it's not too much trouble.

 

your engine is the 4b11, 10:1 CR. there are tons of threads on turboing lancers on here, search around. but it is possible to be faster than a stock evo, or just as fast. I know because I was lol

 

If you have CVT don't bother. If you have MT, like he said, do some reading. There are lots of good turbo threads.

 

U can use an ra turbo kit or evox turbo kit just buy it from owner that are upgrading or junkyards u could check car-parts.com even with cvt i think u could be close to 200 hp
U

 

How did u got as fast as a stock evo? 4b11 or 4b12? How much boost were u running and how dangerous was it for the engine?

 

i was on i think 9 lbs, 4b11, made 276 whp. unfortunately the tune came out lean and thats how my motor blew. but im sure with a proper tune, it could still be around 250 whp and not too lean.

 

Dammm that sucks,but how did u achieved those number with only 9 psi

 

because my turbo kit was actually good and done right, minus the tune, as we found out

 

Nice where u running an x kit or custom

 

evo X turbo ported and polished, evo X injectors, evo X fuel pump. pretty much everything else was custom. if you look in my for sale thread, that was everything I had installed.

 

Ok but i tou our fuel pump was good untill 300 hp if i upgrade it anyeays would that help

 

well the first time ever I got tuned, i was on stock fuel pump, and it started reaching the limit of the pump. an evo x pump drops right in, takes like 10 minutes. search the evo X for sale section for one, im sure someone has one for cheap, or post a WTB ad.
