A172 Lancer RB20DET Project paused... new project c33 laurel

[cookiemonstar]

new intercooler pipping

[moti]

piping is kinda huge for a stock turbo in my opinion.

but looking good,.

what supports your radiator panel (the little that's left of it) and the front of the chassis?

[Ted_v2]

inter cooler a bit on the small size, are you gonna reinstall back the bumper and stuff? try to get some type of bumper support. if by some chance you get a lil bonx in front

[moti]

ok, but keep at it.

[coltspeed]

the usual recipe for LAG.

[Sanctifier]

Who is the mechanic doing the swap?

the usual recipe for LAG.

well haven't run it since the new ic pipping was installed, but....... we shall see, will update on the difference in response.

[cookiemonstar]

Who is the mechanic doing the swap?

a fella frm up St. Helena was doing it for me, but he took like 3 months just to instal the engine and gearbox. i was not happy with the work being done so i took it back and trying to finish it on my own.

the radiator panel bolts on over the radiator so it can be removed if wrk needs to be done on the engine and the front of the chassis hmmmmm not sure i know the mechanic had reinforced it after cutting but, haven't inspected it as yet. will do before i run the car.


have a lot of wrk to do still the mechanic that was doing the wrk before just wasted my time and money.

[moti]

no bashing please...............

[cookiemonstar]

dont get me wrong eh he is a real cool fella, good mechanic to, but.... he takes to much work one time and seeing i is he ''padna'' my car got delayed and delayed over an over untill i got fed up and den a rush down job was done.

anybody know a good mechanic from San Juan area?

[dante1986]

you cut d panel in front :/

[RACECRAFT]

With that size piping you need a forced induction set up something like this to properly fill it with enough boost pressure so you won't have lag.

i didnt know it was gonna be cut, but the mechanic did it......
i felt sick when i saw all that cutting .

but i will ensure the car is properly reinforced before i do any hard driving.

that is yours dude??? nice!!!!

as i was saying i intend to upgrade eventually, would have upgraded one time, really wish i could but.... my dad died earlier this year so all my finances tied up.

i was even considering selling the car, but..... i love that car to much

[cookiemonstar]

guys anyone know what kind of strut bar would work on a lancer? and also anybody know where i can find a shop to reinforce my chassis (sub frame) in the San Juan area or close? looking to strength up the car a bit, although the body is it tip top shape i would still like to strength a bit just to be on the safe side. suspension and brakes next on the list.

[Big Rock1]

Keep going guy.

[Sinista123]

[cookiemonstar]

Hello guys,

i am happy to say i started back my project. some unfortunate life experiences paused my progress but didnt kill my dream.

so here are a few updates on the project.

decided to rebiuld the car by myself from ground up. THE PROPER WAY!
bought myself some equipment.

[cookiemonstar]

since nothing on my cluster works i decided to instal some gauges.

work in progress.

[cookiemonstar]

working on something like this as well.

i would have put credits for the guy who did this on his, but the website seems to be down.

[Ted_v2]

Wtf Bess.

[Malz]

Go strong, Project looking good!

[Morpheus]

Inside!!

GL man

[cookiemonstar]

this is where she currently sits... she stood up very well over the years no major rotten spots what so ever.

only thing is the frame rails are smashed up pretty bad, considering cutting them out and replacing.

[cookiemonstar]
