You won't make 287 HP, which is what an Evo makes, by simply slapping a turbo onto an otherwise stock Lancer. That's more than doubling the stock output. If we assume that 1 PSI=10 HP, a fairly average gain, you would need to run 16 PSI to get those kinds of numbers. Good luck running 16 PSI on the stock block for long. You're also making the fairly ridiculous statement that because a car has as much power as an Evo, it basically is an Evo. That's like saying because a woman has the same chest size as Kate Upton, she's practically as good looking as Kate Upton.

And how long did it last? Most people who have modified Lancers on here recommend getting new pistons and rods for anything about 10-12 PSI.
I think a better statement would be "if you want a turboed Lancer, turbocharge your Lancer". A turbocharged Lancer is no more an Evo than a turbocharged Cobalt is a Corvette.
Edit: It looks like you put 8000 miles on your turbocharged Lancer before you got rid of it. Didn't find any dynos proving your power claims though.

Those numbers aren't wildly helpful without some baseline reference.

[QUOTE=thatguy5;10399637]So let me get this straight.. You want an evo but bought a new lancer es for around 17k?
[SIZE=5]Why didn't you just buy a built block evo 8 for the same amount??
Correction to thatguy5 I thought you were talking to me about an evo
Yea Amby I'll give you that I stayed at 12 for awhile before bumping it up to 17 pounds but it wasn't very many miles maybe less than 1000 I don't remember but I agree no one should go above 12 unless they are confident in thier tuning, or unless the motor blows up

ive spent very little to get into the 12s NA. Only $4k . Ive modified afew evos and plenty of lancers. It all comes down to your pocket book. The evos are in a different insurance bracket then the rest of the lancer family. I have more performance then a stock evo for far less cost. I do want an evo dont get me wrong but having too much fun with my Ralliart. Evo owner will tell the rest of lancer community if they want more power get an evo which always makes laugh lol. If there are any evo owners near sacramento,ca I plan on racing my ralliart next year if yall want to come out.

The did some like this on top gear uk once. They used an EVO as their performance reference and tried to build a car that meets or exceeds the level of performance of the EVO for the same or less than the cost of the EVO. IIRC they started with a used Renault.
Like most of what they do it caught fire and they ran away.

The money and effort it would take to modify a lancer into something with comparable performance of a stock Evo would cost more than trading in said lancer and buying a used Evo.
But hey, if you are satisfied with your lancer like you stated then good for you; however the psychologist in me translated that whole post as "I wish I had an Evo". :P
