yoo i have a 2002 lancer LS n i want to start upgrading the engine..i already have a magnaflow cat back exhaust n i have about $1500 a lil less...any body have any advice for me to start upgrading...turbo? let me no thanks

 

consider a piggyback from RRM, I hear great things about them and they have a new one on the way. Dollar per dollar, it has been said you see the best gains with a piggyback.

You won't be getting a decent turbo, IMO, for 1500.

 

Well, if you plan on going turbo eventually, skip the pigyback for now since you'd have to change it for a turbo later anyway. Maybe get the bored throttle body and intake manifold for now, then save up for a turbo. Or if you don't want to save up for a decent turbo, just start doing bolt-ons like intake and a high flow cat.

 

RPW headers! Maybe an intake as well?

 

Just really depends on whether you want to go N/A or F/I. The N/A options are vast, but turbo or SC'ed are few. Make up your mind between the N/A or F/I then give us a chance to give you our opinions.

 

if u want a quick solution save to buy the turbo.

if u want to do it right.. build up the supports mods first.

ie,
bored intake manifold
bored throttle body
header
hfc
strut bars...


then turbo..

oh and buy some good tires to put the power to the ground.

 

Don't forget to upgrade your suspension. Tein or Nex full coilovers.

 

tein.

 

get the rpw headers, if you truly want to spend about 1500. you will truly like the increases. get an intake adn then you should have enough money to get a piggyback unit to get all possible from those mods, and possibly wideband o2 (i think you should have enough, maybe).

 

if you read he post carefully, i think he doesnt want a turbo. As i read it he wants to be N/A. +1 on oz4g94

 

ls are auto, turbo and auto would kinda suck, pay that much money for not being able to control your own gears and truly feel the power. i drive an ls auto, and their is no way ill go F/I, N/A yes, but for now i would go with oz4g94. and definatly upgrade your suspension too. more money, but definatley worth it, it will help with tire wear, mpg, and safety. and more, but im too lazy to write it all. but you can do alot with good eyes for deals and some good freinds online. and also, get intake, i made mine https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=138536 ,less than $60 altogether

 

I'm not sure how you make that out to say he does NOT want to go turbo, unless you misunderstood his shorthand on the next sentence. He spelled know "no" as in "Let me know, thanks."
