Yet another thread about Turboing a 03 lancer.

As long as they are 440s out of a early 2000s wrx no mods are needed they are quite literally just drop in although you will need some way of controlling them which is where ecuflash comes in

Don't forget about a larger fuel pump too.

Ok so progress report, today got off work at 7, stopped and got some vaccuum line and the o rings for the injectors, and managed to port the intake manifold, pull the transmission which BTW the drivers side half shaft is a PITA to get out of the tranny so I pulled the tranny then removed it which I could do since I brought it out through the top much easier. I stripped the manifold bare and brought it over to my parts washer and went to town scrubbing the crap out of the inside, I didnt want ANY metal shavings going through my engine. After that I rinsed it out and reinstalled everything with my new 440s which BTW do not need longer bolts as I read somewhere on here, they dropped right it, also it really helps to put a very thin layer of multi purpose grease on the o rings and they slide right in.

what year of wrx would you prefer to get the fuel injectors at?

also thunderoz said don't forget a bigger fuel pump does he mean the 255 walbro fuel pump or a diffrent type of fuel pump? if he meant the walbro I have that on my list

[ThunderOZ]

Yea I meant either 190 or 255... I got my injectors from an 04...

[03lances]

Yup I have a walbro 255 and my injectors came out of an 03

[03lances]

Ok just got done tapping the oil pan for the return line. Turned out beautifully although I almost tapped it too big but it sits firm all the way in so we are good Tomorrow morning I want to run the wires through the firewall for the gauges before putting the engine and trans back in. Got a couple buddies coming over gonna have them start pulling the fuel pump and front bumper off. Since I have to let the silicone cure for 24 hours on the oil pan I wont be able to fire it up until Saturday but no big.

Sweet thanks man can't wait to turbo my car.


Hey do you think a 02 lancer es can be a infiniti G37?

if I run about 250-275 HP I think I would kill that car? don't worry his is stock we got a $1000 bet going on.

I already ran the statisics at 250 hp is should be a close race on the drag strip?

sigh.....

you will not hit 250-275whp unless you plan on replacing engine internals, and then you're gonna have to work with the drivetrain too to put that power down to the pavement.

You're looking at 225max on stock internals.

yeah i knew that I should have put that there, but I plan on running 250 with pistons and rods. aand then 275 with a port polish also. but I won't go any higher than that. That would probably beat a majority of cars anyways.

this one guy did a complete rebuild on his engine he is pushing 339 WHP he spent nearly $27,000 on it. If you want to see what he has go to speedcorps.com and click random stuff, its a pretty sweet ride.

[ThunderOZ]

You do realize that Robert is a member here and the $27,000 was on the entire car, cosmetics, custom paint, etc, not just motor right?

[03lances]

Alright guys another update so this is the first day I havent had to work so I have gotten alot done. Fuel pump is done, FMIC is mounted, clutch is in, engine and trans are back in the car, and more I will keep updating you
