Mitsubishi Lancer 1.6 GLX CVT turbo charged

Mitsubishi Lancer 1.6 GLX CVT turbo charged

This is the CVT version which we kind of enjoyed alot... maybe old already, but CVT has some very unique features which if you're able to expliot it, well, it will work for you.

CVT, what that fark is CVT and why did anyone invented such a CB device in the first place? Well, to begin with, the idea of a CVT gearbox is to allow the rpm to stay at a certain point while the gears change progressively. Your rpm basically stays at say 5000 rpm and the gear will change from 1~7 for instance, without the jerks in between transitions, results in a car that is buttery smooth! The CVT technology selects the rpm that generates the maximum torque for gear transition to ensure maximum power is delivered to the wheels when required.

The VF10 turbo that sam selected delivers the power we needed at this rpm. Tuning this ride is simple and straight forward, it didnt take us too long to generate the kind of feeling and power we expect from a CVT lancer. Dinner was interesting...

Geylang according to sam is a land of ever changing landscape. What ever fark that means... he tries to explain that the china girls that comes and goes in this area ensures the landscape shifts all the time, I think he meant the breasts are hills, some are batu phahat, some are bukit timah, rivers? kekeke..., or did he meant that the landscape change as he mold them in his palms? I am trying to refrain from turning this high tech article into another soft porn again, cb.... Dinner was at some china local stall in gelylang, Selling a variety of duck parts which I suspected was scavenged from the rubbish bins somewhere...

Sam stared at the galore of bones and meat and one-by-one, from the second in the queue, he was pushed to the last guy in the queue, it appears that this stall is a mega hit among the mainlanders and the guy selling the duck parts spoke fluent heavily accented mandarain. For once, I felt like a foreigner in sillypore, Then Finally, sam ordered 7 duck feet, 3 duck gizzards, 3 duck hearts, 3 duck tongue, 1 pig's tail which I mistook for pig's dick which made everyone laughed. If duck got balls, this stall would have sold it! I think Male duck is called swan right? Bapok? fark ... Bapok no balls also, that means Male duck is swan.

I was in China for 1 month, sent by my CB company to some place called qingdao, and I kind of learnt the art of enjoying these duck parts people dun normally eat and flush it down with beer. So, evening was filled with a little nonsense, beer and duck parts.

In modifying lancer glx, the rules is to keep it neat and simple. That way, all you get is purely horsepower, maximum amount of reliable torque and excellent fuel consumption. By now, the I've lost count on the number of GLX that we have setup and yes, this turbo kit is extremely ideal for this car.

On the way back, we met one of our kakis... that fella drives a mitsubishi colt, ralliart turbo, dynoed 350 bhp. So, try try lor... kekeke... Sam Rev loudly behind him....haha

Pointing eagerly to the car in front, "remember him?" sam asked smiling... "of course la" I replied squarely. Green ON and both car sprinted forward. Sam immediately filters to the right lane and attempts to shoot past the Colt. Now, the most irritating thing that can happen is, Sam DID NOT step all the way! OMG... we lost by 3 car length... CB! All that happened in our ride is the rpm stayed obediently at 5000 rpm while the turbo spools continuoesly from 0~150 km/h, during which the boost remains consistently at 0.x bars. I farked sam for not flooring all the way... then he said he scared.... this is not highway... pussy. Anyway... When we wind down the window, colt version R driver looked at us with a funny look... upon reconising us, hahaha... his expressions totally changed... hahaha...

Yes, 350bhp won CVT by 3 car lengths... probably, version R is on low boost? maybe? whatever the case, CVT's major advantage is that no time is lost in gearings.

Ride is setup with VF10 turbo, unichip Q tuned, boost controller, HKS SSQV bov, Open pod filter, custom exhaust manifold and all necessary pipings and silicon joints. Overall, I enjoyed myself very much this evening, no complications, nothing out of the blue. Total fun.
