On the RMR website it says there U.S. Lancer has about 145 horsepower. Does anyone know where they got that power from???

 

you mean the rmr edition lancers that they sell @ some dealerships?

 

I spoke with a rep from RMR a few days back about that, he said that is 145 at the wheels and they attained it through using their intake, exhaust, header, and port and polishing.

 

http://www.rmrproducts.com/car_specs.htm hes talking about the rmr lancer i think not a dealer sold car

 

i remember rmr has a custom turbo on the lancer they use for rally. but it doesn't mention it on the page so i don't know where the 145 whp comes from.

 

one more thing when it says "evo 6" for the rear brakes, that means they did a rear disc conversion for the lancer too right?

 

port/polish will do wonders on any car...
..probable..

 

thanks fury, does anyone know about how much a port and polishing would cost? anyone have some experience with this?

 

They replaced the entire suspension. Brakes were swapped out too, front and rear. That thing's about as close to a US Lancer as a CTR is to an EX.

Their Group 2 Lancer is NA I believe. I think the turbo project is separate from what they actually race. I'm sure Blair will correct me if I'm wrong.

 

oh ... that would make sense why they didn't list it on that spec-sheet up there. I was just wondering cause i remember hearing about an rmr custom turbo somewhere on a lancer of theirs'.

 

just wondering ... why does RMR have an intercooler on their rally Lancer if there's no turbo?

 

 

 

the actual Group 2 Lancer in that pic not being the actually race car is possible. but if it is NA then that's fine but i was just wondering ... why an intercooler? does it get that hot?

 

The lans in the pic you see IS turbo

It was at a lancer meet last year and busted a gasket--caused a huge oil spill
