GTP712 probably the best turbo to run with an 18 or 22 psi Turbosmart actuator and ID1300 injectors with AEM300 fuel pump.

If you are buying second hand then the 2.4 is the way to go, and the CJ ecu is tunable.

For the sort of power goal you mentioned, the stock EvoX turbo with a decent intercooler will do just fine. An ExoX or HDi intercooler will do nicely. Most so called cold air intakes for your car are rubbish and a pod filter setup is not the best option. The stock airbox is fine with a Cosworth filt...

What engine, gearbox and diff is this sweetie going to get?

I like it!

What Darryl said.

The slow launch thing is eliminated with a good tune.
Lancers dont need much modding to wake them up.
Which, when I think about it, has always been the case with Mitsi engines right back to the 1400 Saturn engine vintage 1972.

This particular car achieved higher engine load figures than the stock setup typically achieves, so possibly yes. It did have a better exhaust system so that is a contributing factor too. It certainly did not cause any negative effects, however I think the filter could be replaced with a larger unit...

Tuning Report, Thursday October 4th: Had an enjoyable tuning session with a chap from QLD in his 4B11-5MT Lancer. He has fitted his car with an AEM intake system, one I have never tuned before. As some of you will know I am generally not a fan of of aftermarket "cold air intakes" as they s...

This is tricky, and I am with Darryl on a lot of this, but here goes: 1 Audi R8 - because you need something with style and sound 2 Mk2 Ford Escort Grp4 - just because 3 Lancia Stratos - anything I say here will be superfluous 5 Something I can tune and hotrod to the max for hill climbing etc eg Mit...

Thanks for your efforts keeping clubcj alive Justin, I certainly appreciate it.

And, cheers Troy for stepping up to bat.

I never liked the feel or driving experience of the electric power steering models as I got no feedback through the wheel. The earlier models were ok and a set of decent rubber sorted most of the issues. One of our QLD members is doing insane track times in his NA Lancer, no handling issues there. S...

I would be surprised if you got $200 for them. Your typical Lancer owner is generally not flushed with frivolous spending cash - and definitely not if the wife gets to hear about it first.

There are two tuning features I would like to be able to offer for this next trip: 1. Total elimination of the EGR function. 2. Elimination or tuning of the 2nd gear throttle limiter function. Now I am not 100% sure but I dont think this 2nd gear throttle limiter is present or active in the earlier ...

See you guys on Saturday at the Pinkenba Hotel, Eagle Farm Rd.
