Efren from Aus Syd

Hi Guys,

My name is Efren and I am from Australia Sydney, I currently own a 2012 Ralliart which I've purchased at the start of 2014, I upgraded from a very much used 2008 lancer ES and the difference of course was jaw dropping..

My jaw is slowly starting to lift so I've hit the net/books and done a tonne of research on how to get my jaw back to the floor. I've already bought an Evo X turbo and now I just need the rest of the supporting mods. You can guess why I'm introducing myself here based on this! I'm currently on a shopping spree to complete my build and to get some help during this process, once all done I will post up and show off the end results here too :)

My current list is as follows:

[ ] Evo X Manifold
[ ] Evo X FMIC
[ ] UR Upper Pipe
[ ] High Flow Cat
[ ] Cobb Tuning 3 Port Solenoid Boost Controller
[ ] Dyno Tune
[ ] Install

Tuna? Merlin?

Fuel Pump? Not too sure on this yet.. have to speak to a tuner

Oil Cooler? I drive like a grandma unless I see a nice stretch of stututu potential.. other than that the most I do are 1/4 mile runs.. so maybe not necessary.


I look forward to having fun with you all

Welcome! :D

Merlin's the closest tuner that I can think of that you can go to, but there's Beeble as well in the case Merlin's currently out of contact. Alan (Megatron) can probably help you with getting the UR upper piping, and possibly some of the other parts on there.

Hi All,

Thank you for the warm welcome. Thank you all so far for the suggestions and the invitations to your NSW meets - will definitely look into going once I've finished up my build :).

Greetings to you. Lots of fun when you hit the net for info for our cars. Sure you've been there but EvoM is an excellent source.

You won't need an oil cooler unless you plan to track regularly and a fuel pump unless you plan on going E85 (in which case you'll want injectors to match)

Have you seen the turbo swap kit that MAP do?

Thanks guys. So nice to speak to fellow RA owners for once since my mates mainly own Evo 8's. (3 of them)

I've actually got a quote number from Maperformance for the swap kit and their own X Manifold which already comes ported, just waiting til next pay day to pull the trigger on those :).

Its great to know that I don't need the pump and the oil cooler as those were expenses that wasn't in the budget originally I guess I'll see how I go without them.

Here's the quote I've received. The manifold is okay in terms of pricing since it's aftermarket.
