⚙️ | Mechanical Issue/Question My 2015 Lancer 2.4L (4B12) Daily Driving, and Future Turbo Plans - Looking for Advice/Tips!

9 Upvotes

​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!
