the kit looks good, if i were you though i would think about getting a road/race piggyback ecu cause the SAFC doesnt work very well with our motor. I see u said u got the emanage tho and also not sure if that will work out but good luck. the manifold looks nice but i dont like the intercooler, maybe with the evo 7 bumper it will look better. dont worry bout these random online nerds talkin **** homie jus ignore cause when it comes down to it they are all *****es.

 

hey guys actually have some time during day to chat, im thinking about getting that ecu and trying both, as far as time slips go we have the most ghetto 1/4 mile track around its called rock falls in Wi. u get better traction on the street around here but i ran 4 times and gave up it was 85 degrees and i had 40 series street tires on 0 traction. my 1st run was at 7 psi and it was a smoke show until 50 mph. i had 16 second neons keeping up with me until about 45 from lack traction, 7 psi, smoke show=15.1, best run was when i boosted 5psi and had just a tiny amount of traction, 5 psi, small smoke show=14.9, left, pissed at traction and heat, bumped up to 9psi to go home on the highway and smoked a low 14 sec audi 1.8t with his girlfriend in the car he thought he was hot **** and thought he was racing a 16.8 sec lancer! im taking off to try to make a small video of the car revn up with my sick blowoff valve,as well as some more pics see yall later.

 

as far as the intercooler set up its so big , i was in a hurry to drive the thing because i had turbo but yes u could be creative and do it differently , im going to redo it soon as well ,not to big of a problem to have a intercooler to big? people get pretty intimidated by the intercooler. see ya

 

Yeah I wanna hear that blow off valve.hehe

 

Your IC looks good though but the IC from their site looks smaller.

 

yea tsi blows on pics and install directions

 

they told me that its a basic not all their pic, just an overview as u can see my intercooler is diff from their pic

 

Their sample car with the turbo is not even a Lancer, it's a Mirage. I think you're the only one here in EVOm who has that turbo.

 

the install dir had a honda? that i had for my lancer

 

Sorry if I missed it, but did you say whether it came with the kit or if it was your own addition? It just seems odd to me they'd sell an intercooler so large that you have to cut the bumper for a kit. Na'mean?

The problem with too large of an intercooler is potentially a pressure drop. There is such thing as too big. Whether or not yours is too big, I'm certainly not in a position to say. As far as I know that's the largest I've seen on a 4g94 Lancer however.

 

even with the setup you have, unless the track has sand on it, you should not be having that bad of traction, and yet best run was only 14.9, im not ragging, im just saying, i'd say with traction you are probably running like a 14.5

...and did i hear you right?? a low 14 sec audi 1.8t?? a stock 04 audi a4 runs like mid 15s... what the hell man, i think your talking about your ***

 

the audi was at the track running 14.3s , and unless you have been on our track u dont know what ur talking about ,people drive to iowa because it sucks so bad,and who are u to say how my car drives off the line my 1st gear with that t-25 spool time lights the tires up like a mother .If ur going to talk crap u should know the facts first. and the 14.9 was at 5psi cause anything more was worse for traction.

 

must have been a heavily modded audi, but why would he run a 14.3 and your a 14.9, yet you say you take him on the ride home? doesn't make much sense to me, if he can pull over a better run with terrible traction then you can, why would you take him on the ride home where traction is even better? he must have missed a shift or something. i still think your in 14.5 at the lowest

 

doesnt look too bad.. but the mitsu on the ic IMO looks kinda gay also you should lose that heat sheild over your mani, looks like it traps tons of heat have you had any problems with overheating yet? ... and hobi If hes gold in closest to rad contest i must be comming up with a big silver finally got my car fixed again.. some how my mas 3 wires were sliced dont know how... running perfect till i smoked the clutch today haha. onto another project

 

14.9 was at 5psi, on the way home i bumped up to 9 psi, dont hate congrat. are u pissed or something that my car runs good with this kit or what is ur deal man?
