    Hehe... the problem with slicks, though, is that they're undriveable on the road...

    In full drag trim, a FWD car can be on staggered sizes, with larger wheels in front, 14" steelies or worse, emergency spares in the back. The front tires will be 15" or so, with wide tires partially deflated for extra launch grip...

    Can't imagine driving on that everyday... even though the dragsters drive their cars to the strip...

    So low pros with wide rubber will be fine with me...

    As a rejoinder, though, I know some fellas hitting 13.5s with 15" rims and 50 series tires, and no funny stuff on the back hubs (full sized wheels there, too) . They're intermediates, though, so they do have to take them off at the end of the day, to preserve their lifespan.

    OT: Pwede po ba lagyan ng blow off valve ang mga diesel turbos??
    For example kia sedona it has a 2.9 tutbo intercooled engine! pwede ko ba lagyan yan ng BOV??TIA

    Depends, I think... I don't know if the ECU will like it. And you probably don't need it. Most turbo tuning on turbodiesels can be done via piggyback ECU or chip re-tuning.

    TIA. :cupid2:
    carb pa ba yung Mitsubishi Lancer 1996? o efi na?

    turbo is too costly just for an overtaking power needs... kung carb pa siya, di ba puwede rin yun palakasan?.

    Carb tuning is a black art... I remember the last time we did a carb tune... terrible low rpm running, but a hell of a kick once you got the engine spinning. It felt something like +20 hp (which was a big deal on a mere 1.5 liter engine), but -30 ft-lbs of torque... oops.

    Again, maraming salamat mga bossing sa replies.

    Actually, medyo hindi ko inaasahan na ganito palang ka-complicated yung pag-setup ng turbo, lalo na nung nabalitaan ko last night na yung isa kong kaibigan ay nakapag-setup worth Php60K lang (though I was contemplating kung OK na ba yun kasi parang tinipid naman ng husto, in comparison sa mga ipinayo ninyo).

    ssaloon: hardcore adik na pala yung senyo chief. Hehehe. 2.0L + turbo-equipped = kumusta naman po yung fuel consumption niyo?
    niky: medyo madugo din yung overhauling and kahit na sa amin yung shop ay parang mas viable na option na bumili na nga lang ng engine na may turbo, that is, if my current stock engine won't cut it. Pero napaisip pa rin ako doon sa dapat ay AWD yung sasakyan if I am to use and Evo engine (teka, ok lang/safe/"advisable" po ba na iconvert yung FWD to AWD?). And honga pala, anong pinagkaiba ng AWD sa 4WD?
    blink21me: honestly, yes, medyo hindi ko po talaga alam yung ginagawa ko that's why I'm considering na bumili na lang ng buo na kesa sa bumuo from scratch. As you've described eh medyo hindi ko kaya i-take yung risk of setting it up from scratch.
    rion: EFI na bossing. Pero medyo napaisip nga ako doon sa sinabi niyo eh (na medyo costly nga kung pang-overtaking ko lang... hehehe). Ang naiisip ko kasi is if I am gonna dust someone, gusto ko ng gawin ng solid na solid at walang bitin or sabit. Hehehe!

    Madugo ang conversion to AWD sa Lancer. If you're concerned about safety and body integrity... wag na lang.

    They're going to change your fuel tank, for one, then they cut out the rear multi-link subframe from the body mount. They weld in the rear differential in its place. It's very ugly to watch... an acquaintance did that to his daily driver... inggit ako, pero I never asked for a test drive... too scared of the rear end giving way...

    Pero, as ssaloon has said, you can just put the engine in and convert the tranny to front-wheel drive. Okay lang siya as long as pa-easy-easy ka sa gas. But expect consumption to be bad. Maybe 5 km/l in traffic, at worst. Oops... sinagutan pala ni ssaloon...

    For me? Your build should include the engine swap plus the suspension, brakes and heavier duty wheel hubs from the Evo. Evo wheels are optional. ...medyo mahal nga lang gawin lahat, so puwede by stages nalang.

    The engine swap alone should cost you on the hefty side of 150k. :evil:

    Cheaper swap would be MIVEC... mga 50-70k lang yata... that gives you an engine that's at least a match for the 160-170 hp Hondas out there... not sure about the price, cause it's been a long time since I looked.

    if you're not into serious track duties or racing, the 2G mivec engine should fit your need for speed since you just want that extra oompf for overtaking purposes as mentioned in your 1st post.
