Just a few questions
After lurking in here for a few days I couldn't find some of the answers I was looking for regarding some power improvements and other things. Most of the threads are old too so I'm looking for some recent information. If anyone can help thanks in advance I really appreciate it my lancer brethren!
1. So my 08 lancer GTS engine tanked (4b11 just in case anyone asks) and I just bought a 2017 lancer es engine. I'm kinda in a rush so I was wondering if everything would bolt up fine? From what I seen so far it looks to be the same engine but I wanted to get another's opinion on the matter.
2. I don't want to turbo it because it's a CVT so I was looking into NA upgrades. I've seen people say Evo X cams can work but I haven't seen people talking about the long term use. I've seen some people say you need the springs for the cams and some people say you don't. I would like an opinion on this please. Same with the Evo X intake manifold is this an easy bolt on or would some modifications be required?
3. I've been looking at the RRM pulley but I've seen mixed reviews about it. Some say it isn't balanced but the V2 fixed that. But for some reason I don't see the V2 version on their website. Also seen some people recommend other pulleys but they don't provide links only a name which comes up short for me. Any help is appreciated.
4. Any other power mods that can help NAs? I've seen 4g69, 4g64, or 4g63 throttle body (Sorry I forgot the exact name) but would just a port and polish of my original throttle body be enough or would the 4g be better? Also if I was to change to a 4g would I have to get a different SRI setup. I'm currently using a Injen SRI on the 08 engine but I plan to swap it over to the new engine or just upgrade to a CAI still deciding since I live in Chicago the weather here is kinda iffy.
Again thanks in advance to anyone who can help. I really appreciate you guys helping a brother out.

Hi,
If you're looking at getting the most out of your 4B11 without installing a turbo, I suggest you do some reading up here https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/la...ng-thread.html
Getting a decent tune will probably yield more performance than any of the mods you listed
Don't know if the engine is a direct swap, I should say so but I'm no expert either

The 4G69 TB works very well on. NA 4b11/12 motor.
I have a friend of mine who has done a flow Bench test of the 4G69TB vs a bored out 4b11 TB and the 4G69 was the clear winner. One of the main reasons for this is the taper of the inlet.a good ecu tune with the 4G69 TB on board works well.
As with any project it depends how much time and money and effort you are willing to put in.
Just remember no matter how far you push it you won't ever have enough power to change the rotational axis of the planet, however you can still have enough power to have a nice vehicle and low maintenance costs compared to other vehicles.
