Turboed Lancers in Calgary

[Skyline.addict]

Any1 have a new gen turboed lancers in calgary? If yes did u purchase the rrm kit or build your own?

[ApexDrift]

whats the point of buying a lancer then turboing it? why not just buy a evo from the start and call it a day :facepalm:

Because the evo is like 30 more grand than a base lancer.

then a ralliart lancer? having a turbo from factory setup us quite appealing on new cars imo

why turbo a lancer? and you can get either a ralliart or a base evo for the low 40's. lancers start around 25.

so why not save the money and just get the car that already has the turbo ? at least with those two cars you get awd

IMO building your own kit is better....

LOL thats why i suggested a ralliart lancer to him :dunno:

maybe i missed saying 'what about a:" in my post?

edit: but none of this matters anyways because according to OPs what i drive, he already has a base lancer..

still save some cash and just trade in the base and get a better one

You probably know this already, but if you don't, check out evolutionm.net, I'm sure someone there has turboed thier base lancer

Thx for the opinions guys, im just debating if i should have 2 project cars as im getting an r32 gtr sometime soon, and believe me i used to work for mitshubishi till 3 weeks ago, and believe me evos and ralliarts aint worth their money, but thats just my opinion.

I agree with you. hence why i didn't go after one.

The r32 should be a fun toy. I would love one of those as a project car. maybe in a few years

I own a GTS lancer.. and yes its slow but I didnt have 40 grands to buy the evo and the ralliart wasnt out by then.. I wouldnt wanna spend 5 grands into a turbo setup (RRM price), that will require lots of maintance and you will lose the warranty... turboing the lancer is just not worthy

Boost kills the tranny.

Yea i think ill stick with the lancer as my winter car after all but turbocharging it would be something cool to do maybe later on in life if i still have it.

the tranny can hold to around 240whp without launching it and stripping gears, the clutch is the real weekpoint in lancers

Good call. I wouldn't even bother turbo'ing it.

Not putting a turbo in will give you at least $5000 to put towards your skyrine instead, and if something breaks on your project/fun car, you always have your reliable winter one as back up.

Nothing worse then having 2 cars you can't 100% trust.
