how muc hp possible with current mods available?

after driving a turbo, then getting a something naturally aspirated is like comparing apples and oranges. I have both a 2g and the 08. To me, I was surprised at how quick my 08 is and I have the 5 speed but it is no turbo. No real numbers yet but you can ask Jakegts, bcuz I think, he has all the mods minus the piggy. My suggestion is keep the talon or sell it to me .

 

same here, I have had my share of mitsu. The mighty max was my first. What mods to your talon before it died?

 

well im not sure about the 5 speed but the cvt will prob be around maybe 185-190 no more then that

 

wow from a turbo laser!!!! that is very rare. right now, I am helping my homie put the 13b from a laser auto w/55k into his 98 420

 

Also, if you find that the GTS isn't up to the level you want based off your previous experience with the Talon, if you wait a few more months till the Spring to early Summer of 2008, there should be a Ralliart version of the new Lancer coming out that will have a base turbo putting out probably around 225 to 250 HP with a base AWD system. Also, by that time more mods will be able to push those number higher and higher .

do you actually think that with the piggy, pulley, exhaust, adn intake it will actually get that much of a gain?? for the money spent i would hope so...but it seems like a lot of gain compared to my past experience? what do you think the gain would be on just the intake and exhaust??

 

185 hp with the current mods on the market..... I would be surprised if we got more then 15 hp with wat is out right now; piggy,pulley, exhaust,intake

frankly I just cant wait for a turbo if they ever make one for the CVT, and if they don't....I'm trading this sucker in for a 5 speed

 

just swap the tranny easy fix but they will make a turbo for the cvt

 

i will dyno my ride soon with all the mods i have on this lancer. i really dont know when, i am going to dragway on wednesday and i will get some 1/4mile times for you and i will see if i shed a second or two of the time.

RRM is coming out with a turbo for a cvt, somehow i have a feeling they will come out for a 5sp sooner that a cvt. CVT should be good for about 6-10psi if that. and make about 40-50HP more. anything more than that would be suicide on a cvt.

 

^thats the word I heard from rrm as for being mated to the 5 speed . Imagine more parts coming out for the 08: down pipes, large core intercoolers, larger injectors, cams, engine mounts and much more. Damn those performance guys should hurry the f-up!!!!

 

There is no way you are getting anywhere near that.

Whoever is wanting to know what the real gains are with their RRM parts go get a dyno and stop just assuming.

When RRM was designing the intake for the 08 they were saying you would get 10 hp from it. Give me a freakin break. If you look at their past Lancers they got around 10 HP with a few mods and a piggy according to their dyno sheets.

All of you guys thinking your car is getting major horsepower from these parts would be sadly mistaken if you ever took the time to truly find out.

But then I guess ignorance is bliss. :roll:

 

^They may but not offer alot. ask about the discount for owning a mitsu. I got an extra $500 for giving up my old '95 galant

 

Good luck, man...there is nothing like driving a brand new car with the new car smell, virgin miles and being an '08 not '07...mines had 4 (or 7, I forgot but I know its not more than 10)miles on it.
