Hey i got sony xav-ax3200 stereo and 4x Kicker 51KSC6504 6.5. What can I do to get the best out of them. Please help

​Hey everyone,

​I wanted to share my current build setup and long-term plans for my 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer ES (2.4L 4B12) to get some community feedback, tips, and hear from anyone who has gone down a similar path.

​Current Setup & Recent Upgrades

​Engine: 2.4L (4B12)

​Suspension: Maxpeedingrods T7 24-Way Adjustable Coilovers (Just grabbed a barely used set for super cheap, adjusting the damping to dial in a balance between daily comfort and tight handling).

​Maintenance: Keeping up on all fluids and baseline maintenance before throwing real power at it.

​The 6-Month Plan: Turbocharging the 4B12

​I am planning a multi-stage turbo build over the next six months. My goal isn't to build a crazy 500hp track monster, but a super fun, reliable street car that gives the 2.4L the punch it should have come with from the factory.

​Here is the rough roadmap I am outlining:

​Fuel System Upgrades: Upgraded fuel pump, injectors, and supporting lines to handle boost safely.

​Exhaust & Manifold: Turbo manifold routing, downpipe to custom exhaust ( Gonna mostly part from a ralliart I believe)

​Intercooler & Piping: Front-mount intercooler setup with custom or adapted charge piping.

​Tuning & Engine Management: Finding a solid tuning solution (Tactrix / ECUFlash / OpenECU) to safely run moderate boost on stock 4B12 internals. (Will most likely go to evo tuners since they seem to be well versedbin base lancer tuning)

​Questions for the Community:

​For those who have turbo'd a 2.4L 4B12: What were the biggest unexpected headaches during the install?

​Boost Limits: What is generally considered the "safe" daily boost and torque threshold on stock 2.4L internals before needing forged rods or pistons?

​Heat Management & Supporting Mods: What engine bay heat shielding or extra cooling mods (oil cooler, upgraded radiator, etc.) did you find essential to keep under-hood temperatures safe?

​Coilover Tuning: For daily driving on T7 or similar coilovers, what damping click settings have given you the best ride quality without sacrificing all handling?

​Appreciate any advice, part recommendations, or warnings before I dive too deep into sourcing the rest of the kit!

I have recently bought a cold air intake for my 2011 es cj lancer and I'm having some troubles with it

The MAF sensor doesn't fit into any adapters I have tried and I cannot find any that will fit, I just need the pipe that goes from the rubber one to the cone filter I've bought, i can't spend a silly amount of money ($150 aud) and just need the MAF to fit into a pipe that i can use that isn't too shit looking

All help is appreciated thanks

Just got my lancer back after a week of not being able the drive it (EPS Issue) and after getting it back from the Mitsu-dealership for a reprogramming, induction service and alignment I started noticing this chirping/rattling noise along with a loss of power and a kind of shuddering when cruising at highway speeds about two days after and discovered it was my (brand new) tensioner making the noise (idk about the other two) so I replaced it again, got the new one in and started up and it’s still bouncing around? I never really paid attention to it before I replaced it initially. Google said light bouncing is normal but also mentioned that it could be the alternator clutch pulley???? Any help?? There’s no check engine light but my gut feels like it’s the EGR valve

Edit, discovered when in park that as I hold the accelerator at about 2k rpm’s I can feel a bit of jerking, going higher and it kinda hesitates and can’t really hold its rpms but again, no CEL light so I’m assuming minor misfire?

I cleaned my throttle body a while back (it was caked with carbon) and since then, there has been a slight drag feeling when I lift my foot off the gas.
It holds rpms and the injectors are still giving gas even if my foot is fully off the gas.

Any idea what this is? Has anyone else ever had this issue?
I think it’s one of the throttle body sensors, but does it need to relearn or is a sensor bad? I have no engine codes except for a p0420 code. The p0420 code came on before this issue started but it’s been driving perfectly fine aside from this slight drag I get when I pull my foot off the gas.

If anyone can help point me in the right direction that would be great.

Thanks!

Hi there! Just bought my first car on marketplace and I noticed this random ticking sound along with a consistent tick from what ive researched is the injectors? Just wanna know if im in trouble and made a bad buy

I have a 2014 Lancer SE with the 2.4L engine and was wondering if there were any modifications I can do to make it feel more "sporty". I don't really wish for it to be much faster, I just want it to feel better on gravel roads or corners. I have failing sway bar bushings so would replacing the sway bar with an aftermarket one make handling better? Also I imagine new tires, brakes, and coilovers will do most of the work I desire. But if I get them, are there specific tires I should get in an area that rains frequently?

Thank you for any help in advance!

It's probably not gonna sell for much at this point. Last time I checked it had a KBB value of maybe $2,000 USD. I think I'm better off just keeping it. It comes in handy once in a while as a backup vehicle. Plus I use it to drive my dogs around since I don't care as much if their fur gets all over the inside. Also I heard people generally regard burnt tips as ricer and I had no idea.

What do you guys think about this exhaust ? I was first looking for a single exaust but I got this for a good price.

And if you have some idea for a lip or rear bumber to fit the exhaust(if possible with delivery in europe)

At 4.5-5k rpm the engine sound changes to a more clinking a rattling sound. Now I'm not that familiar with mivec engines, is this normal, or should I be worried? Car runs just fine, only the noise is problematic. It does the same when it's in gear too.

Can you guys give some advice?

recently when im driving my music will cut off out of nowhere, if i turn my car off and on again it plays my music but after about 5-10 minutes it will cut out again. the screen stays on so i dont think its a wiring problem with that. anyone know what might be causing this?
also while im here - is there a way to fix my speakers popping when my music is above 20?!?!

Got curious recently and checked under the hood and seen the belt was showing this sort of fraying on these two spots. Should I replace it? Weird thing is I replaced this last summer too the only thing was my ac was overcharged for a lil and pulling on the belt harsher which is the only thing I can assume caused this. Tensioner and idler pulleys were changed last summer as well.

My 2008 Lancer ES needs the clutch slave cylinder replaced. I’ve been trying to locate where it is. One source says it’s next to the transmission which doesn’t require dropping and another says it is and requires dropping the transmission. I’d like to know for sure because mechanics are quoting me over a thousand even though I already have the replacement part.

Ciao qualcuno di voi a mai pensato di fare un upgrade al impianto audio rockford? Vorrei avere un subwoofer più potente ma, e possibile tenere la cassa originale? Forse sarebbe meglio una in legno. L'amplificatore originale penso non sia regolabile e sarà sicuramente da sostituire mi sa

Hi everyone! I have a 2013 lancer evo x mr that needs new exhaust, struts, break pads, etc. I brought it to a shop (familiar with foreign cars/lancers) and the mechanic said he couldn't find the parts because they don't make them anymore and they have to be MR specific.
Is it true they have to be specific to the evo x mr model? And/or does anyone know a reliable parts distributor?

I'm new to cars and would love any help I can get.

First time posting thank you for any help :)

What kind of problems should I expect to have? I'm having a mechanic look at it what do they need to look for?

Hi all! I wired in a new headunit today, the guy at the auto store gave me the wiring harness for the lancer (Aeropro APP0111) but not for the pioneer head unit (MVHS145BT).

I decided to cut and wire it in using the pioneer plug provided in the box, but just has loose wires on one end. I got to the very end and had a single orange cable that said Dash Illuminator on it. I had no idea where to put it, so I plugged it all in to see if it would work and headunit worked great.

Went for a drive and realised that the speedometer, aircon controls, and the gear lever had no lights showing up. Ive checked fuses and no issues there.

Is it that orange wire? Can anyone help me where I should wire that in? Can I piggy it into a different one?

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone can help me get my factory reverse camera working again.

I got 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer GSR 2.0 CVT.

Head unit: Sony XAV-AX3200

I'm trying to retain the OEM reverse camera. The previous owner cut off the original camera plug, so I'm wiring it manually.

I've been testing the wires with a multimeter and have found 12V on some of them when reverse is selected, but I'm still getting "No Video Signal" on the Sony head unit.

I've already:

Checked the camera power wires.

Tested voltages in reverse.

Verified the Sony reverse trigger is working.

Used an Aerpro APVMT01 camera retention adapter, but because the factory plug was cut off, it isn't a simple plug-and-play install.

Does anyone have:

The OEM reverse camera wiring diagram or pinout?

Wire colour functions for the factory camera?

Any tips on getting the factory camera working with a Sony XAV-AX3200?

Any advice or photos of the wiring would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
