    I have a Mits Lancer Boxtpye SL 1400..All stock lang siya, medyo bumagal na acceleration and top speed nya ngayon. I can feel it coz I travel everyday from Calamba to Alabang. Need help;

    - Pano kaya mag improve acceleration and speed nya?
    - Need to have it tuned up ba?
    - Is there anything that I can adjust on the engine or I need to replace?
    - Wat mga pwede ilagay or palitan to improve it? basta same pa din ung consumption ng gas

    Thanks..Need it asap para maayos agad.

    -Oh I forgot 1 thing, medyo may leak ng knti ung engine oil sa ilalim, mdyo natulo pero knti lang

    Ipa condition mo muna ang makina before maglagay ng mods.

    Mabilis naman talaga ang lancer box time basta naka condition ng mabuti ang makina.

    kasalasan 4-speed ang ang transmission. magastos palitan ito. iyong differential, puwedeng palitan ng hi-speed. iyon lang nga, hihina ang acceleration.

    You can ask a mechanic to advance the ignition timing to get you a few more HPs from your current engine. You can also get an aftermarket freeflow intake that is compatible to your engine.

    Adjusting th engine for more power will definitely affect fuel consumption.

    Takes more fuel to make more power.

    Dragging is the condition where one or more brake pads are rubbing against the braking surface (brake drum or brake rotor). This causes the car to run slower and results in poor fuel mileage. It also causes the brake pad to wear out prematurely.

    ----------------------

    Other things to improve:

    -wheel alignment.

    I have a side draft webber carb from my boxtype, kasama na manifold. Sure power yun. Pm me kung intrested ka. Nung nakakabit sa oto ko ito, naka 5 speed, lumalagpas ng 170kph.

    Back to stock kasi restoration ng Btype ko. Yung tulo na yan usually comes from the oil pan or transmission seal.


    Great power come with great gas consumption...... :D

    Ah..oo nga naman naman more power means more fuel consumption. Guess i'll stick to stock mode na lang but how can I improve the speed a little bit more?

    For more power, either you make the engine/car more efficient or you burn more fuel. changing/upgrading the IHE makes it more efficient, pero konti lang ang gains.

Need help..make my boxtype sl faster..
