This car is a 1986 Lancer ES. Originally, it had a turbo I engine.
It has A/C, black leather seats, sunroof, navigator and it's power everything.
This car never seen winter and has no rust. Odometer has 55K.
Modifications:
1990 VNT Daytona engine and turbo (turbo IV)
Heavy duty drive axle
Soldered a "second frame" for the radiator support which has ripped
apart in the past from too much torque :-) (nitrous + boost)
16" shelby CS rims from the 1990 Daytona Shelby
205/55/R16 tires
Turbo II intercooler and hoses.
All 1990 turbo IV electronics (computer and solenoids)
K&N drop in filter
No blow-off valve !!
Running 12 psi on low and 14-15 psi on high (with bleed)
Castrol Syntech 5w50 oil
Fram HP1 Racing oil filter (very large, it gives me half a pint more
oil than a regular filter)
NGK V-power spark plugs
Manual switch for the radiator fan
Using the A568 manual transmission
Gauges: Digital dash, Autometer liquid filled 30 PSI boost, oil pressure,
water temperature and finally a Monster tach
Just added an Intellitronix (cyberdyne) air/fuel meter
Removed some weight (Spare tire, jack, subwoofer boxes, rear carpet
and old soaked insulation from the trunk) took out about 100 lb, added
~ 10 HP)
Changed front suspension with Shelby's from a 1990 Daytona (see better
cornering)
Changed camber to -0.5 in front and stock in the rear for better
cornering and launches. (Much better cornering : Can take a corner at 40
miles an hour with no tire
screaching when I could barely do it at 32-33 miles.
Took off a/c belt
Relocated the VNT Solenoids on the firewall behind the intake manifold
This resulted in very fast response (Shorter tubing) from the turbo
and more power (don't k
And it also almost eliminated the spikes (again shorter tubing).
Installed the two stage boost controller (switch with common selenoid). |
