did they perfect or should i say did they really produce a cvt verion?
Mitsu lent Road Race 2 Lancers about a year+ ago.  One was 5 speed and the other was CVT.   They did Turbo the CVT with about 6psi of boost.   They even gave rides to some of us who attended a meet i hosted last year.   But then Mitsu wanted the car back, which meant the end of research/development/refinement for their CVT turbo kit.   As it stands now i do believe Rob wants a serious CVT guy to talk to him about getting the CVT worked on.   (08 and 09)   But as it stands Rob only has one Lancer in his flock....the boosted 09 5 speed.

So they DID make one.  But couldnt mass-produce because Road Race didnt have a chance to go balls-deep into the CVT like they'd hoped.

 |cool| I'm glad you didn't think I was being rude or demanding.  A lot of you SoCal guys have the advantage of being able to joke around on here and not take it personally because you know eachother and know when it's a joke or sarcasm, but I feel like I have to watch what I say, because no one really knows me personally and I don't like to offend people.

 Anyway, back to your turbo... Have you fully tested it out yet?

you're a cool-cat Justin.   I didnt think for a minute you were being serious.   :thumbup:

I have not had a chance to burn through each gear going uber-fast0rZ because Rob told me to take it very easy on the kit until i hit at least a couple hundred miles.

But i'd be lying if i said i didn't rip a gear or two....it's awesome.     Feels like a totally different car.    I grinned when i shifted gears and heard the "pssshhhh" sound.

Thanks Rick.

Road Race now sells that Mitsu OEM black out kit thing.    Roman suprised me by adding that shit to my car.   I was thinking of just leaving the front end alone but after seeing how it all turned out, im thinking i'll keep the car looking like this.

One of my tech's there knew i was boosting this thing soon.  He's the guy i'll be taking my car into when i need shit done.  This way he won't be like "oh you turbo'd your car, die in a fire, your warranty is fucked" hah

I'm seriously considering the possibility of moving back to SoCal so I can go to UTI in L.A.  I don't know if it will happen, but if it does  and RRM still needs an 08 CVT to work on, then I might just have to volunteer mine. Maybe... |grin|

just be realistic though.

some dudes call and think that they will get the kit for free.    Not happening.   The kit is alotta $$$

Sure you can look forward to a "great deal" but i see some dudes post and think that it's their right to have it for free.   Doesn't work like that.......

If I had the money for the turbo I would so offer mine up for testing in a heartbeat.

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.

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