Hahahahaha I made 17 pounds of boost on my stock block lancer Es, so I guess let's reclarify if you like the Evo and can afford it buy it, if you want something like an Evo get a turbo lancer...

 

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.

 

bro. for sure bro. your car is awesome bro. lancers for life bro. bro.

 

it lasted my whole thread if you want to check it out... 02 Lancer ES Turbo Project and I was able to tear it down back to stock, sell the turbo kit, and sell the car running in excellent condition

oh and I did get a dyno when my coils were in bad shape
240 hp, 241 wtq I'll get you a pic later

 

And how many miles were run at 17 PSI? Just because you can do something doesn't mean it's a good idea. The general consensus after a decade is that anything about the 10-12 PSI range is playing with fire.

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

 

So let me get this straight.. You want an evo but bought a new lancer es for around 17k?

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

 

From his other threads.. THE THINGS I WOULD SAY TO THIS GUY IF I MET HIM IN PERSON, probably facepalm myself so hard i knock myself out

 

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.

 

Yeah but the point is you can get an evo to do 12s with little to none done other then an exhast and a tune. Hell you might not even need that, a good tune and some weight savings.

 

true. total cost with parts was 20k brand new in 2004 to were you couldnt even buy an evo for 20k at the time. The evo vs lancer is comparing apples to oranges.

 

Yeah totally agree. I am sure you can agree with everyone else who has replied drive an evo and then compair the 2.

 

visit roadracemotorsport.com and check out their lancer , then find a new psychologist

 

Thanks, I'm sure he cares 5 years later.
