Piggyback and header and you are set.

So Rock are we ever going to see any sales on 04-06 Ralliart parts again? Both the pulley and the tie bar used to be a lot cheaper.

stEVOx Nov 2, 2009 01:22 PM

^demand and supply ...

ROCK Nov 2, 2009 08:12 PM

Basically we are making smaller batch of RA stuff so the cost is more for us than before. Hard to have a sale on those items.

lanzerralliart Nov 5, 2009 04:34 PM

any new ideas in the works?.....a different final drive? anything?

stEVOx Nov 18, 2009 11:52 PM

was going to start a new thread but i think here should be ok

woke up this morning as usual, went to go and start the car and it just wouldnt like it would click and make weird scary noises(i didnt push it too long coz the car sounded like it was hurting) anyways i stopped and looked at all the lights and the CEL, ABS, airbag lights all phased out as normal and the stereo came on as usual and everything worked fine, just the car wouldnt turn on, not even a cranking noise like when you turn the key and the starter motor cranks the engine just nothing

so anyways long story short paid ~$300AUD for a guy to come out(coz i thought i was covered with mitsubishi roadside assist but it ran out with NO! reminders, so i got the RACV and coz i wasnt a member and to join with an already 'broken' car its a ripoff but its to stop people just calling up when they need it and not have constant membership) so yeah i thought it was going to be the starter motor had died etc or something
turn out a cell in the battery was dead, enough juice to run everything, just not enough to start the engine. so yeah new battery should be here soon ... ~$175AUD for a big 600amp one...

Synopsis: people with 04-07 lancers if your car just dies and wont start its most likely your battery, they apparently only last average 3.5years so its coming around that time for them to give out ...

it is the exact same size for Aem. I just installed the bypass valve last month-easy install. It took me about 30 minutes.

AEM Air Bypass part#20-402S

Tools needed:*
-mini hacksaw
-slot head screwdriver
-marker to mark cut
-10mm socket and rachet
-round file to smooth and remove burs

RRM's kit was designed to run on stock internals, so no, it won't "kill" your engine. It's poor tuning and too much boost that kills engines and with RRM's kit you won't have to worry about either of those. We have members on this forum (including Mods I might add) that have been running that kit, including me, for thousands of miles with zero problems. It truly is the best forced induction kit on the market. Talk to ROCK if you're interested.

ok cool thanks man

and how much boost can the stock internals take safely?

and do the injectors need to be upgraded and if so where can i find some?

It's not that hard or costly to make your own manifold. RRM sells flanges you could buy and take to an exhaust shop where they could weld one for you. RPW used to sell one but recently took it off their website. I think I could safely say that no one out there makes a turbo manifold for our cars, by itself at least. You could get RRM's turbo kit and you'd get the one that comes with it. Since you're going custom though you are going to have to make your own manifold yourself or get someone to make one for you. Tons of people on this forum have gone custom and made their own solid kits. As long as you know what you're doing, and I really mean know what you're doing, going custom should be quite an adventure. If not, RRM's turbo kit is really the only other way to go.

As for the internals, I've heard people recommending others to stay below 10psi just to be safe. I've heard of others running higher, but who knows how long that will last. Just make sure you are tuned properly, that is by far the most important thing. A guy could be running 2psi and still blow up his engine if he has a bad tune.

Here's a link for the flange...

http://www.roadracemotorsports.com/s...roducts_id=387

stEVOx Apr 13, 2010 03:26 PM

or your could buy the RRM manifold and work from there

most people run 7psi fine

injectors need to be upgraded, dont know the exact model, i think RRM have some or RPW, else WRX 'light blue' injectors work with minor modification, i bought a set from ebay and they are just sitting in the garage ...

lanceresx9 Apr 13, 2010 07:11 PM

ok so if i planed on doing 12 to 15 psi i would need rods and pistons? and i read somewhere that the stock fuel pump can hold up to 255 whp and what size injectors will do me good for up to 350whp and has anyone heard of Secret Service tuning thats where i plan to go for tuning. other then that what are the major key points i need to know in order to get all of this done?

ROCK Apr 13, 2010 08:53 PM

FYI. We run additional injector setup. This allows for about 10 psi before running out of fuel.

Brassoperator May 31, 2010 10:23 AM

Hi. I'm sure this question has been asked a million times but I can't find the post that answers it. I've got a set of Brand New 18" Rims that I DON'T WANT. I'm thinking about trading them for a set of 17". So short and sweet... What do I look for when looking at 17" RIms? Hight/Weidth/Offset/ect...?

stEVOx May 31, 2010 03:01 PM

^ i dont know all the details exactly, but i have 17's with 205/40 tyres on them and they rub, my car is also on lowered king spings, they dont rub all the time, most of the time when turning or hitting a medium to large bump in the road, its annoying so try and avoid it if you can

Brassoperator May 31, 2010 04:07 PM

I'm not planning on putting lowering kit on my lancer:mitsu: although it would be ironic if I installed a lowering kit to raise the car to avoid rubbing;). No my problem is that I have had these 18" Rims for over a year and they have never been on a car and I've had enough shops tell me that they won't fit. AT this point I don't want them even if they will fit. So I want to either sell them or trade them for some 17's. I just don't want any problems once I bring them in to be mounted and balanced. And so I'm asking around here because I know someone here has all the info I need. Once I get the answers I will probably be returning to ask about tires. :confused:

soulesswarrior May 31, 2010 08:16 PM

hit up road race they started selling rims and can tell you exactly what the specs you can use on the ralliart. their pretty rims too

Brassoperator Jun 1, 2010 06:25 PM

OK. I think I'm going to get these 17" Rims.

The intake would be pointless since you would be making one to go with your turbo piping. You can go exhaust but its not absolutely necessary. Im boosted an still running my stock exhaust.(cept for the muffler).

Tuning is pointless as well. No one has really cracked our ecu therefore you have to run a standalone or a piggy. THEN have it tuned.

ROCK Aug 30, 2010 06:23 PM

We are gonna try. There are lots of questions before deciding. Example........ If you are going turbo soon, do not get an intake. It will not fit with turbo. IF it is gonna be a while before you can boost then intake is not a bad thing. You will get value out of it. Go ahead and get the catback for now. It is good when you boost and even when you are not boosting, you will enjoy the performance and sound.

all my fuse are still good>>> ???? whats wrong



i had the same problem and its prolly your wiring harness is wrong. the pack i got had three diferent harnesses in it one work on system with direct speaker wiring another iwth an amp setup the i have no idea what the other monstrosity was but the s&s package runs speakers with an amp so its a simple harness switch. i dunno if the RA's with out s&s run amps but i know mine does its even easier to hook up cuz there are less wires and some RCA's if i rmember correctly. if you do that and it still doesn't work the amp should be under the driver seat i'd check there next. still no idea take it to someone. i have a short in my system some wear and im goona check it out today

Shad123451 Nov 21, 2010 01:17 PM

yeah check the harness. one loose wire could jack up the whole system.

MNTwins Jan 20, 2011 03:52 PM

Hello everyone. Hope someone can help me... I am purchasing a 2005 Lancer ralliart with s&s package on Monday. Here's the problem; the person who owned the car before me must have modified the sound system (receiver, different amp, sub, who knows), but the factory receiver & all 7 factory speakers are back in place. The amp, however, is sitting in the back seat, with the wireing harness still connected, but all the wires have been cut right at the end, so I can't splice more on. I am going to need to buy the harness kit, & I also am going to need to get a diagram on the speaker wires, so I can hook everything back up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. On an unrelated note, it doesn't have the keyless remote with it either. Does anyone know where I can get a cheap oem factory keyless remote??

ROCK Jan 20, 2011 06:45 PM

I think I would go to a proper stereo shop and get it all put back to working order. Seems like an easier way than trying to get a diagram etc.... Let them figure it out. I think it will be worth the money. Just my 2 cents.

Get one off ebay. Bought mine for 25$ including new batt. Easy to program, took 20 seconds and a paper clip. Instructions are somewhere on this site (look in RA forums, under how-to's maybe). Dealer was charging me 100$for remote+program. fees (prolly one hour @ 90$). What a rip-off...

MNTwins Feb 4, 2011 04:33 PM

Thank you for your help. I got the remote & programmed it myself with a paperclip :-) The toughest part was getting down to where the programming chip was. I brought the car to a car audio store, & they spent 4 hours putting all the wires back into the harness. After all that, the amp turned out to be dead. I'm waiting on a replacement amp in the mail now... for now I'm listening to the music through my phone :-(

The evo trunks will not fit any 04-06 ralliart. And there is no 03 ralliart. You can swap from an 04-06 es/oz or get a carbon fiber one that's about it.

for the strut torque specs,

Strut assembly to knuckle connection nut 167 ± 9 N·m (123 ± 7 ft-lb)

I have a 1/2" torque wrench click type. Should I just set it to 45 ft-lb for the locking nut and tighten until it clicks( and 33 ft-lb for body nut, and 123 ft-lb for knuckle)? I'm kind of a noob with torque specs.

In the case that you didn't read this tread, or do a search, here is a quick list in no particular order.

-ECU Reflash
-Delta Cam
-larger throttle body
-turbo
-RRM timing box
-RRM piggy back
-soild motor mounts


If you would like any more info on any of these upgrades, please search first since most of the questions you will have, have been answered.


There are also lots of great suspension/break upgrades that can change how your car feels dramatically, so do not forget about them.

Let us know what you decide to do!

I think that exhaust is gonna kill low to midrange power. You need to undo that or do something to compensate for that exhaust. That is something that needs addressing.

I recently bought an evo 9 front bumper. I paid a total of right around 350 or so which was like 270 for the bumper and like 80 for shipping. I was fine with that price then they call me yesterday and said that shipping would now be 190 for apparently no reason. I cant say thats good customer service.

ROCK Jun 30, 2011 12:08 PM

It is freight prices, not us. We see none of the $190. Please do not displace blame for shipper prices on us. I swear we see none of that money. We call to make sure you are OK with it though because we would not surprise someone with that. That is proper service. Shipping costs for a bumper has nothing to do with service.

sounds like a good plan BUT they were talking about the door panels , the rear seats don't bolt up or seat 100% ..... they will "fit" but not be perfect , kaocage can elaborate ;)

For piece of mind get the dimensions LxHxW and the weight call a few shipping companies and see what they say. You should find they are all somewhat close but there maybe one company that will be cheaper than the rest. We let our customers arrange their own shipping if they want that option if not we have about 3-4 shipping companies we deal with. Some are better than others when it comes to domestic shipping and others better international.....just call around but get the dimensions and weight.

resonators
 
i had a question on resonators whats the diffrence if its a 12" or 17" deeper tone maybe?
i was looking at getting a hushpower 2 resonator seince im getting custom piping done seince its cheaper than buying anywhere else im still debating on 3" or 2.5". i dont want to loose power because of loss of back pressure i also want it too sound good i just bought the obx headers and i need new piping because previous owner decided to weld everything on :mad: so rather just get everything new.

wont it make it sound like crap if you cut out the resonator? like raspy?
also hows that kill mid range power?

Someone mentioned that the 06 RA gearbox if from an Evo Viii? Obviously evo viii is AWD. So is it a same gearbox except they changed it to FWD?

I have done that same thing i have obx headers with custom piping all the way back to a magnaflow muffler. i did go catless and it was raspy as hell!!!!! i was another civic so i went back to the shop and put in a 21 inch resonator and it worked amazing i vids on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wu3uZ8tKLXo thats one i have several more but i love the sound of my exhaust now its crazy loud but i love it!

lanzerralliart Jul 6, 2011 10:21 AM

^^^^^

That sounds alot like mine, lol.... I have the ss headers, rrm downpipe, no cat, 22" magnaflow resonator , with rrm's magnaflow axleback.....loud , hell yeaahh , I have to keep it under 3k rpms so I don't get to much negative attention, or set off every car alarm within 1000 ft :lol:

ok but on the vid that sounds a little raspy is it not? so how if you cut the resonator out will it kill power? i have the obx muffler on it now and its deep i plan on getting the hushpower ll resonator 17" from summit racing. i already have a vibrant hi-flow cat and that alone made it sound way better than it did.

The rear door panels are a perfect fit, same door panels in evos/lancer all the way around. Rear seats and passenger seat do not fit in the 06 Ralliart, I had to do some modding to get them to fit. Front seats are worth it, but to be honest ralliart rear seats are way more comfortable than evo rear seats.

yea but it wont look as good as the 9 seats i told you guys that i wanted the ebay leather ralliart seats right?

hey guys if i buy a 3-bar map sensor will i benifit from it at all its off an evo.

CrAnSwIcK Jul 6, 2011 09:03 PM

Not at all, 3-BAR MAP, means it can measure up to 3-BAR of pressure, roughly 30psi. Not sure if it measures between 0 and 30psi (0-3 BAR), or if it measures 14.7 (standard atmosphere at sea level) to 30psi (1-3 BAR), but i'm pretty sure it is useless unless you are boosted, and the ECU is modified to know WTF to do with the signal. Not sure how Hackish incorporates it into the tune, but it's useless for non-turbo applications.

JDM Evo, and USDM Evo X use a 3-BAR MAP

HID Kit
 
Hey guys just got a set of headlights with Halos and Projectors. The new headlights fit a H7 bulb with metal clips to hold them in. Im looking to get a HID kit for the projectors but i didnt know if the bulbs would need a metal base to conduct electricity or not. A link to the bulbs would be much appreciated. Thanks Guys

ok seeing how i cant find my post will an evo8 turbo and intercooler be good for the ra?
as in will it fit with the rrm turbo mani or will it be better just to go custom? and if the i/c will fit in the space we have in our car.

CrAnSwIcK Jul 11, 2011 08:15 PM

i believe the evo 8 16g is a twin scroll, so the flange is not the same as a regular 16g, that and the way the hot side (turbine housing) is made it's completely ass-backwards (180 degrees) to an older 16g, and i'm pretty sure RRM uses a standard TD05H 16g. Plus the RRM kit uses an external wastegate, so i'm thinking it would use a different non-internally gated hotside. But you could get a 14b or 16g and just modify the downpipe, and weld the wastegate shut.

well im confused i was thinking in getting the rrm exhaust manifold (where the turbo bolts up right?) i bought the obx headers so im going to use their down pipe and i was going to go custom on the i/c pipeing. also was going to use the rrm piggyback to tune it and use the 560cc wrx injectors. also im not shur what the wastegate does so i dont get the external/internal wastegate thing or what the diffrence is what about the i/c i think that will work no?

CrAnSwIcK Jul 11, 2011 08:51 PM

Intercooler piping is pretty simple, if you can get a kit that's made for a lancer it should be pretty close, and it should have all the flanges/nipples etc that you need, if you go universal you'll have to get crafty, and some fabrication and creativity will be required.

your wastegate is how you control boost, you connect your wastegate actuator to the boost source or the compressor outlet via vacuum line, directly, or through a boost controller, and at whatever boost pressure your wastegate is set for, it will open a valve, bypassing your exhaust gas around the turbine wheel, maintaining relatively constant boost pressure. Without it you would build boost until the turbo broke down or your fuel system couldn't keep up and your engine would pop. If you are unsure of what this does, and the difference between the two, you need to do some reading. Internal and external is pretty self explanitory. external requires a more intricate downpipe, internal is built into the turbo's hotside, and with an O2 housing, the downpipe is quite simple.

For the downpipe you might have to hack it apart and change the flange, depending on the turbo/O2 housing, or however you decide to mate the downpipe to the turbo it may not work, then you'll probably want an O2 bung on the downpipe for a wideband sensor. I would be more inclined to have one made, or find one that was made for that turbo/manifold.

as far as i know, the piggy back from RRM will not work with 4 larger injectors, you need a reflash, or stand alone for that.

Give me a call for the real scoop. For the record we use 16G EVO 3 GT turbo with our kits. In fact we now use it with virtually all of our kits. Turbo is good to 300 h.p. Just call me after 3:30 PAC time and I will try to answer all of your questions. Thanks

I've seen your kits, I figured it was that, or a similar variation. The Evo 8/9 stock turbos are quite different. What do you guys use for a hot side? Is the internal gate disabled some how or do you just block it off with a custom outlet flange?

Help with previous question
 
Can anyone tell me what the deal is with the light situation i have in my previous post?

lanzerralliart Jul 12, 2011 11:11 AM

any hid kit for the h7 lights will work

ok so now that i cant use the piggyback what standalone would you recomend? id like something that i can tune on my laptop reason i liked rrm's is because i could reprogram that to my liking.
