Guigsy Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 dont they need a remap for EVERYTHING even a new exhaust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannoSupra Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 Dont think so, i did a few upgrades when i was working at a tuner, and never mapped any after mods.. BUT you can though And before anyone sais, 'i should know what to do, after working at evo specialsits'... was a long time ago! Cant remember what we did, things like swap bits off other models etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 My bro has an EVO 4 and I have a 6. The 4 engine does not like too much extra stress on it from standard.... so I would not be tempted to try and go anything above 310bhp , if you want to keep things all reliable on a stock engine. They supposedly come with 275bhp.... but as with all the far eastern cars when they are dyno'd they show up about 10bhp more, if in good condition. Raising boost by a couple of psi and the usual filter, intercooler upgrades are usually enough for most people on the MLR. The EVO 4 engine usually requires a faster flowing fuel pump too, when the boost is increased. But you will find soo much more engine technical information than I can give to you by looking on the owners website.... http://www.lancerregister.com/index.php GSR or RS version by the way?

AJI Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I like the EVOs for their handling characteristics on the twisty roads. They are very direct and they are nicely balanced. Have you looked on the 'parts for sale' section on the MLR? ..... many many items get traded each week on there..... sometimes you can pick up a bargain. But look out for a guy who lives on the Isle of White..... he has been scamming people for the past year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
