As for the 2.4 it's a totally different set up but if you haave money it bolts up but need to change the motor mounts and rearrange a few things. But that would cost alot. You can get a turbo set up for $1500-$2000, jus be patient and get it piece by piece. There is a guy i met here wid the same OZ (mine was auto) and thats what he did. In the end i think after labor it was around $2500 the most and he's spankin Evo's left and right with stock internals, he has manual though so torque converter would be needed if you're stayin auto. It's a great engine despite it's slowness i miss my OZ but i didn't have the patience for it so thats why i went to the Ralliart.
well im from hialeah homie.. if you know where that is.. but yea.. right now im just lookin for some torque under my foot.. im lookin to change some peoples opinions out here about ES's they all tell me to leave my soccer mom sedan at home.. lol.. theres only a hand full of people out here that wanna **** around and race.. a bunch of hondas.. and most of them have bass in the trunk.. i wanna change some peoples opinions.. YOU KNOW WUSSUP.. i cant wait to get my intake..

Ofcourse i know where hialeah is, it's right down the street from me. Well as in cahngin ppls minds about the car, it can be done but it takes time and money. Intake, intake manifold, throttle body, exhaust, headers, ECU, torque converter, etc. jus get sime stuff for now, oh also hyper ground cables, u can buy them or make them yourself. If you want i know a shop on 441 where that guy did his turbo set up, they also where i had installed the coilovers on my OZ. I'm prolly gonna be dealin wid them when i start moddin my Ralliart.

hmm.. after looking over an IM how-to i guess i have to remove the fuel rail in order to install the IM.. are there any gaskets i should change out once im there??.. also are there any other parts i can upgrade while im down to no IM??.. 411 will greatly help me get ready for the intall and make it as smooth as possible without having to dismantle the same shyt twice.. THANKS..

Just make sure you don't destroy the stock gaskets. I ripped a fuel injector gasket when I was swapping my fuel rail. It's easy to do. Use lubricant and be careful.

As for upgrade - not really. You could snag a bored fuel rail if A2 doesn't include it. But once you take the IM off, you just have the bare motor...

i don't think it has one. Stage 2 is ported heavier than stage 1. I believe you just use your own throttle body and the manifold comes with a bored fuel rail.

Porting the Lancer throttle body is difficult. The average shade-tree tuner (like A2) probably won't try it.
RRM can afford to screw around and find the right methods (cuz they rich, yo).

As said, Stage two is just going to be more aggressive than Stage one.

Then call/email/PM prench (Philip) and ask him. Don't ask a bunch of idiots on the Internet. Call the company and ask.

(Lord it makes me angry when people won't just call the company...)
