I searched and couldn't find much on these. Are any of these actually beneficial, even if no power is gained? I already know the heat wrap thing helps with heat, but what about that coolant bypass thing or IAT sensor relocation? Thanks.

I don't think we have an IAT. The only wiring in the intake tract is the MAS.

Coolant bypass works. They'll all do a small amount, but nothing huge (or worthwhile, if ya ask me).

 

"However, there is a way to "trick" the engine computer
into thinking that the incoming air is a little cooler than it
really is, and therefore get the ECU to advance the timing a
small amount and increase fuel supply at the same time"

why would you want a NA lancer to run any richer than it already is?

 

waste of ur gas mileage is all that is

 

if you're running that rich you'll see a drop in HP as well

 

alright thanks for the input. I'll prolly just do the synthetic oil piece.

 

Well.. cheap mods? What is cheap? Performance mods only?

Cheap performance mods for small power gains/handling:
--Crank Pulley
--Short Ram Intake (n/a guys)
--Short Shifter (manual tranny)
--Strut bars, tie bar, sway perches
--Hood duct
--Properly inflated tires
--Good oil/filter/ other fluids
--Grounding kit
--New bushings

Visual enhancing:
--Eyelids/Grill
--Repaint certain parts ordering your paint from www.paintscratch.com to match the car
--CF "reflector" replacements
--Debadge
--Different bulbs
--Vinyl sunshade thing over the windshield (looks pretty good and blocks the sun)
--Window tint
--Quality shift knob/e-brake handle

 

Yeah i already got the pulley, intake, im auto so no short shifter or bushings, and i got all the bars, and I'm waiting to buy a full CF hood with ducts built in. Also while on the subject, does a grounding kit actually help that much if you dont have a lot of electronics? if so, would an ebay kit be ok?
