wow, even without hp/tq numbers you're saying it can help you reach rpm's faster? Wouldn't you have to have more hp by scientific definition in order to get the engine to rev faster?

 

Yes, I do follow your logic, but somehow it does not follow that rule. Besides, it's awefully hard to say since I have a slushbox.

Here's from my experience.

When my car was completely stock, my peak HP was 4400 rpm, and 5K was a death nail (can't breath and plummets off).

With intake, bosch +4 (stretches about an extra 100 rpm - fouls up a lot after 3 tank fills), and magnecor (stretches an extra 200 rpm), rpm got faster right about 8-15% (not much in the overall gain- felt faster off the launch but levels off). My peak was 5200 rpm and dies at 5600 rpm.

With header, peak HP is 5600 rpm and dies at 6000 rpm.

Dies = completely drop in HP.

 

ahh...damn automatics.

 

BTW, The magnecor spark plug wire set I recieved:
Part #45182 will fit the following according to a sticker on the side of the box:

- Chyrsler Sebring/Dodge Stratus, 2.4 SOHC engine 2001 - 2002
- Mitsu Mirage, 1.8 litre 16 valve SOHC egnine 1997 - 2002
- Mitsu Galant, 2.4 litre 16 valve SOHC engine 1999 - 2002
- Mitsu Eclipse, 2.4 litre engine 2000 - 2002
- Mitsu Lancer, 2.0 engine 2002

 

well the only thing good about the plugs ive noticed is... like in the morning when u first start ur car... and it idles real high?? then eventually goes down to 1 and below like 5 min later?? with the ignition cables... it comes down to 1 right away... and doesnt feel all bumpy to begin with... so i guess it doesnt really help performance... it just more convenience... so i recommend them like 1000000000%

 

installed magnecore wires and denso iridiums
...notice..smoother sound/feel....

*old plugs were burnt for some reason..badly only
put on 5k....

 

They're probably not burned, the ceramic will show slight scorch marks most likely, but the buildup is carbon from fuel burning. It's pretty normal.

 

kOo....thanks

your a moderator im juz a newbie....

match the red magnecore wires with the silicone hose kit from RRM..engine bay starting to look decent...

 

k, I don't wanna come off sounding like a fool or anything, I just want to get the facts straight... if you order the magnecore wires #45182, you get only 2 wires, then you must purchase the other 2 elsewhere, or am I totally mistaken on this?

 

so..... Bahamut. Where did you get the wires from 4 that cheap? Help out your fellow lancerers save some $$$$$$$! Do tell!!!!

 

oops! Btw these work on 03 as well? mod till you die! or until you run out of $$!!!

 

did anyone else have the NGK iridium plugs STOCK on their lancer? cause mine did..i was real surprised! But i still replaced them with the Denso's i bought in japan and they seem to be working good

did anyone notice a change in sound? like around 3500 rpm, the sound seems to resonate more than before..or its just me.

 

You only need the two wires and caps. Our #2 and #4 are fed off of the #1 and #3 directly, so there is no need for 4 wires.

 

so where is the cheapest place for us to get the magnecor wires .. and also, do they come in black - - the only ones ive seen are in red and i dont want red since my engine bay accent color is blue . . .unless the wires are hidden pretty well . . . .

 

anyone . . . . . anyone . . . . bueller .. ..
