Topic: Turb'd up 08 Lancer

[hardcoreDJ]

I wouldn't expect anything for free. Maybe a damn good discount though!  I really want to make it out there this year at least to visit if nothing else.  My mom is arriving here tonight from Santa Barbara so I'll be discussing the possibility with her.

A visit would be sweet.  We'd have a meet in ur honorz  :-)

Did they tune it to run on 93 octane fuel or can you get away with 89?

Tuned for 91 octane.

man i'm jealous lol congrats on ur turbo dc.  down the line of 2 years i'll join you being boosted lol

[pogiboiuno]

Congrats man! i like how it looks like its stock from the outside with just rims and a black out kit. haha
so the intercooler is black right? did they paint it?

[hardcoreDJ]

yea i had Roman paint it.   Im literally staring at my car parked in my office parking lot and can't even see the damn intercooler.   love it

[flambouyantdude]

you gotta let me ride in ur car dude lol

[shadowflame]

any idea of how much boost running? did you build up your internals before you had it done? just wondering because im a little fearful of just turbo'ing my engine without building up the internals. and i said if im going to go that route, id rather just find a rearended recked ra or evo, buy that, and take engine and everything out of that and put into my car. if and when i had the money of course. thanks ahead of time.

The kit is set to 7psi on stock internals.

I had skepticism just like you did, but im at Road Race almost every other weekend.    So i know first-hand how much Brian @ Road Race has beaten THE SHIT out of the 09.   You'd have to attend a meet at Road Race to know how much Brian puts that thing through hell.    Made me confident that my 08 would be ok seeing how he kicked the boosted 09 around like it was stolen.

Right On Evolve!!!

Let me know if your MPG drops dramatically. Just curious cuz I would love to have turbo but I really save gas cuz thats the reason why I parted with my 2000 Explorer

[Geaux 4 Breauxk]

Man, first, nice rice, beautiful set up!

Second, let me know if you ever drive it out to Vegas! One, I wanna see it up close, and two, I wanna re-wrap your bumper (for free - material about $5 worth)!!!!

hey man congrats on finally getting it done.....it looks saaaweeet......and right now as it stands i am about half way there on the guap and then i will call and see about shipping my ride and leaving it there till its perfected...........im willing to be the guinea pig as soon as i can come up with the money...can you find out how much of a discount it would be, so i can know how much more i need to save? i assume labor would be free and would be paying price of parts with some money thrown in for dyno time

[TheArtofRalli]

DC, let me know if you want to do yours vs a stock ralliart at some point. Itll be interesting to see the comparison.

So whatre you gonna do when it comes time to smog and all that crap? Got a shop that lets people through?

For sure.    I actually have to fill up later on tonight.   I averaged about 400+ each tank.   But the same company that tuned Road Race's Piggyback for the N/A (Split Second Tuning) also tuned the Piggyback for the turbo kit.   I should see decent mileage (fingers crossed)

I love Vegas.  I try to go at least once a every couple years.  My friends go allllll the time.   So i just pick n choose which time i'd like to go.     And thanks for the offer to re-wrap my bumper.   Good shit.

That kinda stuff is something i can't really ask.   Rob hears guys call all the time asking about having their car turbo'd, but most never come through or live too far.      My best advice would be to call him up when you feel serious/able enough to follow through with the project.   You can even say you're from 9glancers.com.   He knows about this place.

Thankfully down the road i'll have time to weight all options including having Road Race put my shit back to stock.  Im hoping i'll have better options by then.  Im sure i will 

and we can test out eachother's snail's when you get ur RA.   That should be fun.

true true i know....i will do that as soon as i can

yea don't rush.   once shit works itself out for you, who knows....maybe someone else would've done the dirty work for everyone's CVT.   We have alot of local dudes that hopefully one day will be ready to let Road Race R n' D their car.
