I'm planning on buying a 2003 Lancer OZ or ES (Automatic). From a fully stock lancer point of view, what mods beside a turbo should I throw on it to make it faster? Or is a 16G Turbo kit good enough? I don't want it to be a speed demon, I just want to be able to reach its top end faster. In the mean time I'll be saving up for a Evo, so I'm not really trying to speed a lot of money on this lancer. It'll mostly be used as a daily driver.

 

first use search, but anyway...


the car doesnt respond well to bolt on mods. lightweight crank pully helps and ported intake tb and fuel rail all help but a turbo is really the only way to go. now if you do all that and turbo it helps a lot...

 

go with the 16G kit them get the under drive pulley kit. then id put in a new cam the new rods and pistons and bring the compression to like 9:5 or 9:1 then get the stage two head from rrm 550 fuel injectors wally 255 then crank the boost up to 14-15 psi and you will burn out your clutch so upgrade that then you will be toying with wrx's gti's all sorts of cars! good luck!

 

oh sorry i didnt see on your post you didnt want to spend alot of money all that would be like 8-10k from rrm

 

It's Auto so I assume they have no plans to "upgrade the clutch" . Basically a 16g turbo setup at about 7 psi is going to give you some getup with out costing a whole lot of money. I mean it's not gonna be fast, but quick for sure

 

damnnn i guess i didnt see that ethier lol oh well thats what happens when you skim through it lol. the 16G is still 4+K idk if its over that for you es and oz guys but thats what it is for my ralliart anyway so im assuming they would be close...ish....sorry for the false info haha ill pay more attention next time :P

 

I can get it cheaper then 4K I can get it for around 2K. Would a better intake and exhaust be a good idea as well for an automatic?

 

if you can get it for 2 k then do it asap intake on the kit will be fine but get a 3" or 2.75" cat-back

 

no mater what you do, turbo kit is not going to be cheap,
you need to upgrade fuel system which would be around $1000 for quality parts..
and upgrade your internals if you do not want to blow your motor, turbo kit is a big mod not something little
