2008-2013 Mitsubishi Lancer EX GLX / GLS / MX / GT / GTA [continued]

Unfortunately if you are try to "sell" the idea of the power package to your dad, it won't fly. You will have to finance this mod by yourself. At least you don't need to buy the entire "package" in one go. You can go first with the headers or air filter and leave the UNICHIP upgrade as last.

I want the Speedlab badge and decals that's why I want it all in one and also since I'm from the South.

speedlab has a 0% interest 6-month installment payment scheme fyi.

Ohhhhhh. Convincing. ;)

Here's the thing, even if the power package can increase the engine's output, the 1.6L engine will never get you 2.0L performance.

If you want more performance, it would be better to budget for the Lancer EX GTA instead.

Then what would you get po if you install the power package with a 1.6L Engine? Is it not advisable for 1.6L engines to get this Speedlab package?

Yes and No.

From Speedlab's FAQ

Q: Will this void my warranty?
A: To be strict about it, if you read Toyota's warranty policy ANY MODIFICATIONS voids your warranty. Since most likely you already have wheels, HIDs, sounds, etc etc, consider your warranty voided. Practically speaking, these mods will not cause your engine to blow up.

Q: What's the warranty?
A: K&N has a 1,000,000 mile warranty (yes that's one million), Devil's Own and Unichip carries the usual one year warranty against factory defects.

From K&N's FAQ (USA)


9. Will installing a K&N performance intake system void my factory warranty?

Most K&N air intake systems are warranted for 1,000,000 miles which exceeds the warranty offered on the original factory intake system.

The installation of an air intake system should not void your factory warranty. It is never a bad idea to contact your local dealership and ask them before purchasing the new K&N system whether they will object. If they tell you an air intake system will void your vehicle warranty, please contact us and we will speak with the dealership directly to clear up the misunderstanding. Another idea would be to contact a different dealer who may have a different policy since many dealerships actually sell K&N intake systems.

As an additional level of comfort, we also offer our Consumer Protection Pledge. It takes customer service to an even higher level by giving you confidence that when you buy K&N you get on-going support from a team of professionals who will talk directly to dealerships to resolve any questions that may come up.

Thanks for this information. Very helpful.

Then what would you get po if you install the power package with a 1.6L Engine? Is it not advisable for 1.6L engines to get this Speedlab package?

You will still get performance gains with the power package on the 1.6L engine BUT the actual HP gains may be smaller. So if you would count amount of money spent versus HP gained, it may not be worth it (as compared to doing the same mods with a 2.0L engine).

I suggest asking around to check who has done engine mods for the Lancer EX 1.6L and what HP gains they achieved. Mods like UNICHIP are expensive for most people's wallets so it would be better to wait a bit for some hard info on performance options before doing it yourself. One good place to check is MitsuLancer forum.

Which fuel would you recommend then?

Off the bat, I might suggest Shell V-Power Nitro+ Race because I had have good gains using it in my last project car but I have no hard numbers yet with my ASX. I just switched fuels and need some dyno tuning time to see if I do gain some HPs with it. Previously the ASX was tuned to use Total's regular unleaded gas.

LOL! ... In that case, it can be done but it may take a whole day to do the install and tune the car. Best to check with Ferman of Speedlab for an appointment.

I'm actually on Shell's Fuel Save Unleaded. I've tried that V-Power and I always felt the need to give it a go, resulting in poor FC. :rofl:

I suggest to have your tires/wheels re-balanced again.

[Optimusprime]

thank you GH. ano po bang ibang pwedeng pangalingan ng vibration ng auto? kung pa align ko kaya ito makakatulong?

Other possible source of vibration... assuming your suspension is 100% okay, the tire itself might be defective. The thread has come loose and slightly expands outward when at speed. This happened to me in the early 90s.

It's also possible one of the balancing weights have come off, especially if they are clip-on type and you have hit a pot-hole (or similar) in a hard manner.

Alignment lang yan okay na yan. SOP yan pag nagpalit to aftermarket mags/tires.

[oliver1013]

Hi Guys,

balancing, not alignment, ang standard scope of work pag nagpapalit ng wheels/tires

*optimus, pa wheel balance mo na din para ma isolate na yung wheels mo. mag pa wheel alignment pag uneven yung tire wear mo or hindi na diretso yung steering wheel

[oliver1013]

Nga pala nagpalit ako battery kanina, paalala sa inyo pag nagpalit kayo, bantayan niyo yung nagpapalit kasi kailangan alisin yung vent ng air filter..bushet yung motolite guy pinuwersa yung turnilyo na nagkakabit ng vent sa grill, e plastic clip yung na may plastic na turnilyo ayun na lose thread...tender loving care lang yung basta dahan dahan.

May nabibili ba nun clip na yun? sira na kasi yung isa ko..
