Upgrades for CVT w/ sport mode?

NERO_NOVA · Sep 12, 2009, 10:49 PM

Is there anything out there to help the transmission perform better? And before I get flamed for trying to make some performance car out of a GTS CVT, it was a last minute thing and was the last day for cash for clunkers and pretty late when I pulled in to the lot and saw my baby sitting there

So I got what I could.

But It only has to last for about 3 years. then I have plans of trading the tranny off and adding a turbo, SST, and finding or building a rear end and making it rwd. (I know theres more work involved)

So the only thing I have found so far is the CVT Tranny cooler... And right now I'm waiting for a few months but am getting antsy on buying parts.

With the intake, full exhaust, RRM timing box, RRM ECU, and pulley would it be a good idea to get the cooler? Will I see any benefit from it?

man the ralliart exausht fit on regular lancer?

Ive been looking at doing it. So far it should fit with none-to minimal modification, BUT you WILL need a RalliArt rear bumper. I actually looked at an exhaust on a RalliArt yesterday and they LOOK like it bolts up at the cat and the dual muffler hangers look exactly the same as far as I can tell. But you will lose a few HP. Im just doing it for the looks and hopefully a good sound note. In the future I will be turbocharging it so the exhaust will be useful eventually.

a guy from the dealer mechanic of course toild me the direct fit is the evo x mufler because the ralliart has an inverse angle to fit into the rear part.

neither are direct fit they will need to be moddified.

you really wont lose power.. cause the evo/ralliart arent true dual exhaust and dont run off any Y pipe or anything.. all the ralliart/evo exhaust are is a canister with dual outlets..just like your stock lancer exhaust having an extra outlet on it..so basically its just there for looks..hence why you see so many evo owners with a single exit exhaust

Well the exhaust I was looking at does y off. The CP-E ralliart exhaust or the ultimate performance exhaust. I'm buying them for looks and hopefully a nice sound note. I really like the sound of those two on ralliarts, I just dont know how much not having the turbo would change the sound...

which exhaust is this? ive only seen one or 2 X exhausts that are real dual exhaust and none for the ralliart

This thread went waaaaaaaaayyyyyyy!

yeah you mean catbacks.. thats not even compatible with the lancer i dont think...i dont think the piping from the cat back is the same as the lancer..and you would lose power with that..it wouldnt be worth it one but spending 800+ bucks just to lose power..and have a weak sound..

if anything go with an axle back..or go with a custom exhaust

Still OFF TOPIC but... If i were planning to turbo it within a year or so would it then be worth it?
