Lancer GSR (CM5A)

[Gaurav]

Hey guys,

New to the site but had my car for bout 4 years now

its a Lancer GSR 1.8 AWD
CM5A model

Just wanted to share my plans and get some feedback.

Car already has
-2.5" exhaust turbo back
-2.5" intercooler piping with evo 5 FMIC
-Evo 9 fuel pump
-Mivec throttle body

Upcoming mods
-Manual swap
-Evo 8 turbo
-Evo 5 fuel injectors with resistor box to compensate for change in injector impedance
-Greddy emanage blue

With just the exhaust and 12psi the car ran 14.5sec

Hoping for low 13s at an upcoming drag meet.

Would love to get some feedback on the setup and if you know of any CM5A GSRs with a similar setup

hey mate welcome!

Nice setup you have there mate. Is that an EVO cooler?

I had a CM5A engine setup in my old Mirage.

I would have thought that the CM5A throttle body would be bigger than the MIVEC one...?

Sourced the engine from NZ (I assume you liver there too?)

Does yours have the tip-tronic box? how does it go?

My engine was running just a HYBRID front mount, 3" cat-back exhaust, heavy duty clutch, Walbro fuel pump and around 13psi.

I pulled 174.6hp ATW (FWD)

Here was my setup...

Enjoy your stay mate, lots of good info on here..

Welcome Mate!
Put your location in your "User CP" for us please.
Good to have some later model GSR's on board.

Thanks for all the responses guys.

Yeah it is a evo FMIC, the mivec throttle body is 5mm bigger than the GSR, same size as the evo , had to port the manifold to accommodate. I live in Grenada (Caribbean), the tiptronic is a good tranny but always wanted a manual, my tiptronic has a rebuild torque converter so it has a better stall than stock.

Thanks bout the chair/laptop stand lol

anyway my question is, i know the upgrade for the older GSR was TD05 (vr4 or evo3)

the equivalent for my car would be a evo 4 to 8 TD05 however these are larger than the old vr4 and evo TD05s, do you guys know if the engine (with management) would be able to handle this turbo on 1bar??

Thanks again guys

heres another pic(will post more soon) and a video of a launch when the car was stock (with a turbo xs bov)

Looks good dude! Thank god you havent put any EVO body panels/kit on it! I hope it stays that way!

Pretty sure you need a custom manifold or some sort of adapter to run a late model EVO turbo........

There's lots of info on nz mmc

Hey Guys,

Been a while since I updated this thread.

What i got done before the races were

Car already has
-2.5" exhaust turbo back
-2.5" intercooler piping with evo 5 FMIC
-Evo 9 fuel pump
-Mivec throttle body
and some fuel management with a SAFC

Car did a 13.8sec with the TD04 on 15psi

Looking to reach 12secs now so I want to drop in some forged pistons and rods. Any advice where I can get these, preferably in the US.

Thanks
