I saw this video online. says it will be putting a 2.4 liter 4B12 engine in the 2009 Lancer, producing 168 hp stock and 167 torque stock. This engine will be stock, not an upgrade!! Why not do it when it first came out???

It's only standard/available in the 2009 GTS: http://media.mitsubishicars.com/deta...58957&mime=ASC If you want one in your '08, we've got a couple of 4B12 long blocks here at the shop

 

how much would it cost to swap engines? free?

 

i figured out the hard way there is no such thing as a free thing..

 

^ thats not true, burnsville off road is giving away complete 07
+ jeep wrangler engines. lol

idk which i should go with, a 08 lancer for the 2.0 or the 09 with the 2.4 i was thinkin cuz then wut if there is no aftermarket for it. i mean wont they need to make a neew turbo etc for it?

 

with the bigger engine, a proportional exhaust upgrade would be in order. best hope would be to upgrade Cat + back, minimum Axleback upgrade

 

If you have the choice, go with the 2.4L. There's just no replacement for displacement. And aftermarket support means dick - a decent local shop can do everything GReddy can, but for half the price.

 

Externally, the two are virtually the same, so most bolt-on products should be compatible. When it comes to internal components (crank, rods, pistons, etc...) they're are definitive variations. Expect differences in the ECU, injectors and other peripheral components, but nothing that would dramatically inhibit most aftermarket components. The chassis components (suspension, brakes, etc...) should remain the same unless they do a model-wide alteration/upgrade.

 

ok, cool. well that helps alot. and i think ima go with the 09.


[RANT] but im not ****ing getting a car now for a while because i now have a 2.98 gpa and my parents refuse to get me **** unless i have a 3.0 gpa. which is ****ing bull**** beacuse im .02 off. i wana go ****ing punch the teacher in the face that ****ed me over on this ****ing bull****. ill still be staying here... but ima be carless...STILL....this is gay.[/RANT]

 

then buy it yourself

 

The '09 isn't even out yet man, you'd be carless regardless. In the meantime, do all your homework, study real hard, and be sure to eat all your green vegetables and you'll be above 3.0 in no time. Because knowledge is power!!!

 

does anyone know when the 2009s will be out? i am getting a new car in the next few weeks and the lancer gts is my top choice.

 

March is what i heard i think

 

This goin to be off-topic but this thing just bugs me alot. does our lancer gts really have the potential of goin fast? i know in fact that the 09 has 168 hp but it will be detuned for 158 here in the US. Can we or possible far surpass the 09's 2.4 Liter Engine or even the Ralliart?

 

we can defiantly get past the 09 GTS, just add a turbo (But then the 09 would be the better value). as for the RA, we might be able to get just as much as them, maybe a little more.
