you can install it yourself, I think there is a thread of someone explaining how-to.

The info on the cams... go to www.visionimports.com and look up camshafts for the Lancer, they have stage one and stage two for N/A listed and 2 turbo cams as well. They are around 400 or so, than if u get stage two u will def need the gear, which is around 200. Dont know how much the valve springs are, and u can get a GReddy emanage for anywhere from 200-500.

If your just going stage one, RPW says you dont need the gear or any ecu upgrade. however if your going stage 2 just have around 1 grand or more to drop so u can get everythign u need.

HC - how does your car hold up to other cars now? have u taken it to the track? is the reason for the idle is lumpy because u dont have the gear? and is your emanage tunned good?

 

i did mine, there is a write up in the how to section with lots o pics, its a book so have fun reading, god knows i did writing it. if you need any help with install fell free to e-mail me and if your serious you can call me when you have it

its easy, just make sure you have all the tools needed

 

sry i just needed another post so i have 600 lol

 

how much more hp would stage 1 give you?

 

Hey hardcoretuner, do you still use your car for a daily driver with the stage 2 cam?

 

Has anybody seen a loss in low end hp or torqure with the stage 2 cam + gear? Also when upgrading to stage II are valve springs needed or just recommended?

 

yeah my car is a daily driver. right now i am having some problems with the recently tuned on a dyno emanage!! so far wait till i drop some more cash on useless parts and tell everyone what to and not to buy

 

why does it say that the rpw stg1 cam lost you money in your sig?

 

probably cause he ended up buyin the stage 2 and had no need for the stage 1. just my thinkin though

 

Hmmmm what did you do with your stage one cam Hardcore?

WADAD

 

from what i gather.... what is actually a worthwhile mod, and what is just a waste of money. i think thats what he's trying to say.

 

^what? i think you may have missed a word in there maybe

 

i dunno mike... isnt that what he's saying? maybe your right maybe i am misreading.

 

Hardcore are you saying you felt negligible results from the stage one cam or what? I thought I read somewhere it was an estimate of 10whp depending on mods?

WADAD

 

has anyone run the cam and gear without emanage? i was looking to just reflash the ecu and get tuned. is this a bad idea? i was also thinking of sticking to stage I since i can't afford valve springs and emanage at the moment. any opinions? any help would be greatly appreciated.
