Hoping I don't offend any other Lancer owners out there, but if you really want more power, keep the 2 grand you'd need for a custom turbo install and use that towards a car with a bigger motor.

He's 100% right.

I mean don't get me wrong i love my es, but imo throwing like a grand into it(n/a setup) just to be able to squeeze like 20hp out of it, or throwing roughly 2 grand(turbo) just isn't worth the money. I mean yeah the turbo route will get you much more power, but there's other factors that make it much more of a gamble. Spun bearing maybe, possible cracked rod, hell a buddy of mine had an old Grand Prix turbo coupe, he decided he wanted to play with the boost level(stock was like 6.9psi or somethin) so he cranked it up to 11psi. Jumped on the highway and laid into the gas and according to him he heard a loud "boof" and instantly saw a hole in his hood. He claims he shot a piston clear out of the block :lol:

You're not going to get 20 HP for $1000 NA. You're going to get 0 HP.

Well thats on him for not taking the time to have it retuned/reflashed for the added boost...You go and damn near double the boost level, what do expect to happen...the ECU isnt gonna just magically retune itself :) |
True, but that was in the late 90's and that's what happens when you're a teenager tinkering with a boosted car and don't know about the finer aspects of tuning, guy's a great mech. now though. I'd just hate to be the one on the receiving end of that piston :D

Ok. Fun thought! waist a huge amount of money and cram a EVO drive train into the OZ! How much fun would it be as a sleeper? And Im sure Im going to get a reply saying it wont work, But I've done much odder stuff. its all about how much time and disregard for safety you have.

The twitter thing you are referring to is my retort to your negativity. I'm really sick of it bro.

As you put it: But to be honest, I totally agree with your whole mantra about tackling a challenge, but if you had to ask questions about how to do this in the first place, it just looks like you're not ready to partake in such a feat... |
