can you post pics of how to install it. Is there any tapping or splicing of wires? is there any increase in tourqe? Is the 8+ hp the same for the 08 and 09s? Any time slips for 0-60 and 1/4 mile?

Here's another question: If I install this on my stock 08 5spd, will it throw an error up on my dash? Or will this type of mod work clean?

Yeah I guessed it was used on an 09 but still the claimed horsepower is 168 from Mitsu. I can't believe it would be 161 at the wheels from factory. Again if it is that high that is awesome. Just wanna make sure you know

You shouldn't believe it. If the car is 168 HP per and the initial dyno reading 161, then that dyno reading isn't accurate or is falsified.

plug and play means plug and play. no cutting nothing. just plug the connectors in and your set to go(after you mount it somewhere).

well even an 09 lancer only puts out 168 hp at crank so yea i doubt its 161 at the wheels.

i wonder, RRM could we get some more clarification on this dyno, which car 08, 09, 2.4L, date ? any other mods ?

I know some of those questions have been answered but it be nice to see a compiled list

if the dealer ever had to do a diagnostic on ur ECU would it show up that you had some timing modification? also is it 100% imparetive to use 91 octane, like should you run ur car to empty, then fill up with 91 and then install this module?

if you google or wiki how gas stations store their fuel you will find that most pumps only have 2 tank reservoirs and the "3" fuels they offer are just mixes of the 2 at diff levels. with that being said lets say you had a qtr tank of regular fuel in there, i ASSUME you could just fill it up with 93 and run just fine.

then again i am assuming. i dont think there is a definite answer on this as it will vary from gas station to gas station. also dealer should not be able to see this in the ECU as it wont write anything to it and I dont believe the ECU will record the changes in timing.



"Most fuel stations have two storage tanks (even those offering 3 or 4 octane levels), and you are given a mixture of the higher and lower octane fuel. Purchasing premium simply means more fuel from the higher octane tank. The detergents in the fuel are the same, Premium does not "burn cleaner."

again my statement was an assumption based upon reading the above article.

cool, so basically this item is just flat out plug and play and should have no impact on warranty. its a definite way to gain 8hp, but it will cost you 250 to buy it and then on average 150$ more a year in gas. I'm on the fence here, if the damn stock market wasnt so bad, id buy this in a heart beat, but ive lost so much money, buying something like this just seems frivolous now

Figure 10 cents per gallon more. The car runs better and gets better mileage. You spend about $1 more per fill up but get better mileage. I think it is a wash!! Worth it for the performance. If you want one tuned for 87 octane we can do that too. I think it is not worth it.

im assuming the dyno was on a 2.0L correct? i dont see the timing module on ur site listed under 2.4L's..are we looking at generally the same gains or even more? are u having to make another module with diff specs?

is it possible to have to tuned for 93 or 89? in chicago, we dont have (well in my area) 91 octane? will this cost more for the different tune?

ChrisBond1

iTrader: (9)

then thats extra 10 cent! it would benefit me more if they could tune it for 93! :]

just asking.
