Anyone Mode Their 2009 2.4l Gts?, 4B12, did anyone put any of the 4B11 designed mods on? Options

[rox]

Hey guys, and gals.

Just curious to know if anyone put any (i.e. exhaust, but especially CAI or SRI - maybe the AEM CAI?) of the modifications designed for the 4B11 (2.0L) engine on their 4B12 (2.4L) engine.

I pulled my old ones off the totalled Lancer, and wanted to slap them back on the new one.
I know the exhaust shouldn't be an issue, but I'm somewhat skeptical about the cold air intake...

Any input?

no matter what they all say, i still strongly believe that CAI wont make a difference. I think the throttle body is a bit wider on 2.4 so you would need to get an adapter cuppler to get your old on installed.

I have the magnaflow cat-back on my 2.4. Power wise, seems to be fine, but also seems to decrease my gas/mileage by some. Not sure if it's just the cat-back causing this thou....

I also have the Injen CAI for the 2.4. I use to have the RRM V2 for the 2.4, but it seemed to bog the car down, but after switching to the CAI, feels much better.

But like SimmoES said, it's prob fine to put on 2.0 parts. You can try it out for a bit, and if you notice weird things like lower gas/mileage or car gets boggy, then just go back to stock.

The exhaust should be fine, exhaust is exhaust.

The aem intake.... well when I talked to an aem tech they said their intake in not designed for the 2.4L. Since it's a "tuned" intake they said they cannot guarantee any gains when used with the 2.4L. Since the air/fuel mapping is different between the 2.0 and the 2.4, the only thing I'd be concerned about is starving the engine of air and having it run lean. If you hook it up and don't get a cel I guess that's a good sign. I guess the only real way to tell is to dyno before and after.

Nice, so you finally got the 2.4 -- I used to have the 2.0 injen CAI on mine - then decided to take the plunge and bought the CAI injen for 2.4 -- yes there is a difference in performance -- I used to have acceleration bog from rpm 1000 to before 3000 and now with the 2.4 CAI installed that is all gone -- this are the following mods i have on my 2.4 5spd -- 2.4 injen cai, rrm pulley, rrm header, rrm magnaflow axleback, pulse plugs, sprintbooster- lowering springs -- NOW I AM HAPPY CAMPER -- with all this mod on my 2.4 - now all i need are stiffer mounts for engine and transmission. Dyno? don't have to i am happy with my butt dyno.

It should not matter for the intake whether it is for the 2.0L or 2.4L. The CAI/SRI is inevitably better than the stock OEM. What you need to be concerned about is whether the MAF is installed in the correct place. If the MAF on the CAI is in the same location as the 2.4L then it should not matter. This is because the engine is N/A and will be sucking in air where as a turbo car will have air pushed in. I also heard that the K&N CAI has some weird bypass for air that goes around the MAF for the 2.4L.

Ya SimmoES is right. The throttle body on the 2.4 is bigger.

[rox]

I never actually checked the throttle body, but as far as I remember that's what most people have been saying - that's it's bigger.
I guess safest thing is not to mess with that, I'll just wait and get a different CAI sometime down the road.

As for exhaust, I'll probably slap it back on next spring.

Thanks for input.

I also have the Injen CAI for the 2.4.

Is there really an Injen CAI made for the 2.4L specifically?
I don't think so... it's the 2.0L one that you have right?

Correct me if I'm wrong.

[Bootx2]

No there is. It's the SP1836. The SP1835 is the 2.0 version. You can look it up on the Injen website.

What's the actual SKU? I can't find SP1836 or anything for a 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer on the Injen website.
I know speedcorps has that listed, but I'd like to see it on the Injen site too...

[Bootx2]

If you look on the main page of injen.com, you will see a product number SP1836 (near the bottom of the page). You can't click on it or whatever thou, it's kinda like a flyer. They prob haven't updated the database to include it yet, but it's there.

i had the 2.0 on the 2.4l engine, i had the injen cai and it made my 09 gts bog like crazy i put the new intake from injen on there and it made a world of difference. the only concern i have is about the design of the intake.

notice in the above photo how theres that pipe that is not in the injen 2.0l cai, that pipe is right where the maf sensor is, i never took a picture of what it looked like with the maf sensor in there, nor do i know how exactly the maf sensor measures the air but it appears as though the air inside the pipe is NOT getting metered by the MAF sensor thus it is leaning out the AFRatio. Im not exactly sure if this is what is going on, i asked injen and they said it is not bypassing air past the maf and that only they know why it is there and that it is not leaning out the AFR dangerously. so far the car has been running great

Weird indeed. Maybe it has some magical effect or something hehe.
Well I hope your car keeps running good. I'm sure Injen wouldn't F* that up.

I know running the AEM CAI on my 2008 had no issues at all, and I put over 20,000km on the CAI.
I might eventually get the Injen CAI. Thanks for input (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I see what you're saying! It is indeed there.
Thanx for clarifying it.
