I read on the Project Lancer forum that Mitsu was talking about bringing a turbo out that could be installed on the 4b11 since the Evo turbo is the same engine. PL said that it would be for sale through Mitsu and installed as to not void the warranty. Is there any validation to this rumor?
Ok so is all the cool shit in Cali or something? Seems like most of you guys who post are from Cali. Haven't seen anyone from TX.
I would not go that far. I believe this side of the US has a lot of good things to offer for the car hobby like weather, oil refinerys and weather, lol. A very poor public transit system so the need for wheels is almost manditory.
I dont know how reliable this info is, and I'm not that knowlegable about engine tech... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_4B1_engine But, this says that the 2008 lancers we have, have the 4B11 MIVEC engine that has a compression ratio of 10:1 and the the EVO is a 4B11T MIVEC engine that has a compression ratio of 9:1. The displacement, bore and stroke are the same though... so what makes the compression different? And with the different compression ratios, theoretically, could a turbo from an EVO, that has a different compression ratio, bolt up to our lancers? Like I said, I am a total noob to the tuner world, so I dont really understand how these things would effect the engine overall.
^ lower compression pistons are better for turbos. the lower, the better for boost. the higher compression, the higher the boost. with 10:1 maybe get up to 8-10 psi. the 9:1, i believe up to 15-18 psi. Correct me if I am wrong.
i have no clue, but it sounds like the pistons might be the difference in compresion ratio. but i think the turbo kit should bolt right up, but not positive*
