does anyone no a good kit or preferably a setup for a 97 mirage ls?

 

PM lil EVO on here he has a rage that is turbo

 

alright thanks man

 

he never pmed me back so if any body else can help that'd be cool.

 

Give him a little time.. He might be on vacation right now..

 

lol, i was on vacation actually. good to be back though! The LS trim comes with the 4g93, so you'll have a little easier time comming across parts than those of us cursed with the 4g15. RPW makes a kit, but it's not really worth the price tag.....something upwards of $3300 if I remember correctly, and it doesn't come with the intercooler, pipes, injectors, and a few other odds and ends. Easiest and cheapest way to go about it is to build your own. If you shop around, you can have a solid turbo kit for under $2500. Biggest thing is getting ahold of manifold for it. I've heard (and have yet to validate this, so do some research before you go out and buy it) that a turbo manifold for the 4g94 (Lancer ES motor?) has the same flange and ports as the 4g93. If that's the case, you're frantic search for a shop to fab you up a mani just turned into a walk in the park. I would suggest nothing larger than a t3 turbo, with your displacement, there's no way that you'll be able to use anything bigger without some serious engine work. Get a 3" turbo back exhaust, minimum of 310cc injectors (high impodence, RX7 injectors work well), adjustable fuel pressure regulator, bigger fuel pump, front mount intercooler w/ pipes at least 2.25" in diameter, BOV, MAS adapter, and something to tune it with (A'pexi SAFC, Emanage work well). You'll also need to upgrade your clutch, the stock one won't hold up too long after you bolt everything up. You'll only be able to use premium fuel (mine get's pissed off with anything shy of 93 octaine), you'll want to switch to a slightly thicker oil, and don't plan on running more than 9-10psi on a daily basis without building the innards of the motor, that's just asking for trouble. There's more that goes into it, but that should point you in the right direction. And be warned, going turbo on a Mirage is not for the faint of heart, it'll take time, money and a whole lot of asprin before you work out all the kinks.

Or, if you want to do it the easy way, my car's for sale

 

And my recomendation, since you didn't even know your own engine code......hold off on turbo for a littl while until you get some experience with the car under your belt, they're not the nicest car to try to make go fast.

 

alright well thanks man this info should help me out, on the part where i should wait a bit to learn more i will be cause i gotta get the funds first anyways plus my brother can help me out he a car mechanic and works in a specialty shop that does this kinda stuff so he helps me with the install.

 

always good to have somebody to learn off of, that was going to be my recomendation for you; find an established gear head who knows his way around imports to help you out.
