Tuning a 09 Lancer GTS

[thashow2k1]

Boosted my mitsubishi lancer gts 2.4L, I need to find someone who has tuned one before, because my previous tuner blew my motor, but I got a new motor, and need to find a tuner who is efficient in tuning new lancers...not evos, they are totally different.

tuning is tuning. doesnt matter if its a geo metro or maserati. same rules apply. if the guy said he can tune evo's but couldn't tune a single cam 2.4, he probably can't tune evo's. lol

that would be the case...still i need to find someone reputible

What are you tuning with?

[jpac811]

Id like to see where this is going. Did the tuner get you a new engine or did you have to get one yourself? My wife used to have one but we didnt like it at all

[thashow2k1]

well first off, I believe they used evoscan as a tool, but i'm not a 100% sure what they used...i'll have to find out, the car is tuned at 8psi, but I want to run lower boost until I built the engine...and no the tuner didn't take any responsibility for the motor blowing...i don't even want to go there...but anyways...But the motor is getting put in by the dealer with a new clutch in it also...

[jpac811]

New after market clutch? I wouldnt go with at stock one. Might as well throw in a good aftermaket one with a flywheel. Give these guys a call and see what they say

It seems like these guys only work on mustangs...but yes I did get a aftermarket clutch...any else know of any shops that specialize in tuning mitsubishi's?!?!?

I would suggest any of those.

[jpac811]

Sorry for the bad suggestion but those guys just came up in my mind since obviously you can see what I drive lol. They have tuned other cars besides Mustangs though

what exactly blew on the engine? A factory non turbo motor is just that . A non turbo engine. Not entirely designed for boost.

Not trying to give credit anywhere as I dont know the story . Was the engine close to its limits? A little information was left out.

If Its tuned on a factory style compute with ecu flash I would give the ryu-copter a ring lol

wrong it depends what you're tuning with. There's a big difference between chrome and dsmlink or an safc or full standalone like aem/megasquirt. tuning is not tuning.

darkside performance, oh and petestop doesn't specialize in just mustang. hell they have a freakin 300zx z32 on there webpage on the dyno lol.

my guess would be it either leaned out and killed a piston, or pre-detonation, etc.
honestly how the engine was blown really doesnt matter. what does matter is that he's getting a new engine and it needs an aftermarket clutch as well as supporting mods and tune.

hit up darkside.

Actually thats the most important thing to find out. Reason for failure is the first step in creating a reliable car.
What if injector #3 wasnt supplying enough fuel and leaned it out, and the same set of injectors goes in the new motor. The same thing will happen to the new motor. A/f taken on a wideband is a combined of all 4 cylinders. Stupid things like that could cause a nightmare for the person.
Z over at darkside is going to ask the same question.

+1 and to take it one step further, does anyone know what the limits to these engines are? What power did it make before it popped? Even on the boosted 4g63 there is a limit as to what it will take before letting go... Is it the tuners fault, no.... Maybe you should build the engine before boosting it that high again... If it isn't built for it it will let go no matter who's tuning it or what their using to tune it with.
