Hi

I own 2 Ex 2000 turbo's, one on the road and the other sadly about to be dismantled as the body is too far gone to repair (unless I import a mint bodyshell from the Philippines - something I'm looking into).

I've owned my original Lancer (the one with the rusted shell) since 1991 and my other one since 2000. My road going model is an original white / orange model, and I've got the original bill of sale etc for it.

As well as uploading some pics soon, I'm also looking for a bit of techie help for the air filter.
The rubber hose connecting the Turbo to the airbox has split beyond repair, and I'm thinking of either putting a K & N on, or fitting a group one Airbox that I have (rescued from a Ralliart skip in the '80's along with a set of Dymags!) on it. The problem being that using the Group one air filter gives me a bad flatspot at 2400 RPM, reson I suspect is the airflow meter isn't behaving.

If I decided to fit a K & N instead can anyone advise me on the best way to do this?

Basically the car is set up as follows:

Standard except:

Garett T 04 Turbo (14psi)
Intercooled
Chipped

I have a large amount of Lancer parts, and a friend has 2 slim body starions that have sat for years he is looking to break, if anyone gets stuck drop me a line and I might be able to help you out.

Cheers

Pete

Sounds good.. welcome to the forum, contribute and enjoy your stay!

Welcome to JNCC Forums sir! I'm sure you'll get all the help that you need from the car gurus here

Hi
thanks for the warm welcome.

JunRaymond, I often visit the Philippines with my wife, we live in Bacoor (Soldiers Hills) near Alabang Zapote. I'm due back in March 09 for a while.

I've found the Mitsi shop in Festival Mall very helpful in sourcing some parts for my EX here in the UK, I've managed to obtain some brand new Gas filled shocks and other hard to find bits.

I was surprised to see the amount of Box types there are there, as here in the UK they are very rare indeed. It's also got me considering to either ship my car out there or send over a couple of Starion Engines and Lancer wiring looms and maybe fit one into a standard Box type there.

I really liked the pics of old school mitis, good to see they're still going strong in the Phils.

Cheers
Pete

Wow nice! You're just near our area

I think that's El Dorado Shop in Festival Mall, Alabang.

Yes, so many Lancer boxtype parts here.. but not the Turbo ones though. Try to PM Danny aka TonyX44, maybe he can help you out regarding Lancer EX Turbo parts.. he also has one here in the Philippines. He's somewhere in Finland now I think..
