Im thinking about putting a turbo on my 04 lancer oz, but i want to know what else i need to buy so i dont blow my motor, i heard pistons...thats about it, anything else?

 

I think our pistons are actually decent, however our RODS are where these lancers shortfall... other than that do some more research! use google and "evolutionm.net" to search easier.

 

I believe our motors can handle more than most think.....I've been running stock internals for almost 2 years now boosting 12+ lbs.... If its built right and its tuned right, most of us here have had little issues with our motors other than normal wear and tear parts replacements.

 

Alright thanks guys, ill prob get rods then and do more research, keep asking around

I been running 15psi for 2 years on stock internals and I get on it a lot. I plan to build the motor or swap it out for the 4g64 in the next year or 2

 

If you have the right tune you won't need any internals upgrade if you engine is in good condition. Iv had 2 different lancers with over 180k km running 10-12 psi and iv never had any problems with the engine. Just make sure your engine is in a good condition before you start turboing (Do a compression test, leak test, etc) and have a safe tune and everything should be ok. Although if you're planning on going higher than 10-15 psi i would recommend the forged rods/pistons/head bolts to be safe.
