CE performance parts list

Hey Res, you may want to update the price list there a bit...

4G15 4-1 Race extractors from RPW are now $450. $22.50 delivery to sydney from perth.

K&N pannel filters to suit the 4G15 intake are now around $160 at supercheapauto. doesnt say on their website as they havent updated it yet, but thank the carbon tax for putting that price up. no doubt other things have gone up in price as well.

BC racing: red level coilovers (front and rear) ~$1200 (free post)
BC racing: gold level coilovers (front and rear) ~$1300 (free post)
^HENS performance supplied products. also found on ebay, search "lancer bc"^

Just matter of interest thing to help me plan for down the track.

Does anyone know the difference between Red & Golds ?
And are the Lancer ones universal fit to Mirage ?

Yes lancer ones fit mirage, the difference is the topbits, the golds have a ball bearing which makes them better. Ask Ryan about the reds cause hes had a few problems.
 
Speaking of throttle bodies, if you have the CC orientation 4g93, the GSR lancer throttle body is a direct fit and so is the intake plenum
 
FYI
Front brakes from RG Colt fit to CE. Ralliart stock brakes are 280mm rotor and large single piston caliper. Banjo bolt is slightly different and the thread in the caliper is different so of you do the upgrade you will need the caliper bolts and also the flexible brake line.
Lots of pad options for the Ralliart Colt, including Project MU
 
I tried searching for 280mm rotors and cant find them with colt rg/ralliart.

*EDIT* nevermind found them.
 
These Throttlebodies are 70mm and fit the 4g93 for $108 posted on Ebay.

I know that 70mm would be too big for the stock intake (there isn’t 70mm to cut away inside to match up).
My question is = If you cut away as much material as you can inside the intake to get as close as you can to 70mm = does one of these work for an NA application?
Or does the turbulence overcome the benefits of the larger body?
Also is 70mm just way too much for a Cammed, Stock ECU, Ported head 1.8 SOHC 4g93 anyway?

These seem to be a cheap enough option for the size, but I’m not a mechanic and unsure of the downsides of one of these.
NOTE: if one of these was useful I was going to use my sensors off my stock throttle body.

There is a tonneeeeee of science between the throttle body size and ratio to intake manifold opening and runner length and massive amount of other variables. A general rule of thumb is that a 60mm tb is large for 600hp, so the stock 43mm or whatever it is is enough for almost all applications. As i mentioned, there is a tonne of science between the sizing off all parts from the throttle body to the engine and how it all works best, but its not always a bad thing to upgrade if its cash that wont be missed.

For what its worth, i have a cammed, ported 4G93 SOHC with turbo, when i upgraded the tb from the stock one to an evo 8 one the only thing that really changed was my idle not working as well anymore lol - consider that larger tb's are designed for engine that flow more almost all the time, so a evo8 (4g63 2.0L) tb's flow at idle is more than the 1.8L's flow at idle.

Edit: TL;DR yes it would worth, but its not really needed. Spend half the cash on upgrading if you'd still like to, and spend the rest elsewhere
 
Thanks Donki,
In sticking to an NA build there are only a few mods I can do on the cheap. Most people with my build specs quote the throttle body as being a slight mid to top end gain. For around $100 for a few horsepower i’m happy to go there.
I’ve found 60mm Magna TS throttlebodies for about $65 locally that all my sensors will bolt to and a few others that are slightly to very different in fittment.
I was just wondering about any problems or benefits with this 70mm option.
It’s only $43 more than a Magna Throttle body so if it was going to give a touch more power = I’m in, but if this really is going to bog down the engine and make it rough (which I assumed it might), I’ll let it go. Almost all the info I’ve seen on my engine and mods points to a 60mm as being the option to go for.
 
What have people done on the 1.8 to get some good cheap gains? Have a little race car and wouldn't mind some more power for tailem bend. (Bigger track than mallala)
I'm thinking extractors and k&n filter panel with the custom cold air intake I have will gain a bit more. Other than that i cant think of anything.

The car is set up suspension and brakes wise.
