Question Clueless about upgrading my lancer

Hello,
I just purchased a 2002 Lancer OZ Rally (AUTOMATIC). This car is completely stock. I'm looking to add at least 180 Hp. I was thinking possibly a supercharger instead of going turbocharged, but whatever will get the job done is fine with me. I have no idea where to start; I need serious. Please let me know what my best options are? Please be specific. (turbo, supercharger, intake, exhaust, cams, headers?? price, make, and where I can purchase the items) I appreciate EVERYONE'S help and input, thank you for your time.

You can E-mail me at simon.n.bernal@hotmail.com


--Thank you

Stay away from the superchargers, heard some problems with RIPPs, thats why they don't make them anymore. Easiest way to go is to Turbo the beast. I have a for sale link in my signature, I am selling off my Turbo Kit, so are a few other people on the for sale forums. You can piece one together for around 2000 for the bare minimum, it would get you up over 180 hp. If you wanna do it right and not worry about blowing the engine out, you could spend around 3k-4k and build the engine, get the right gauges, upgraded fuel system, new engine management, and so on. blah blah blah.

I have alot of what you will need, and then some. Check it out!

If you get a turbo, you will not need an intake or header; exhaust go either a full catback 2 1/2 or 3 inch; cam you can order one from RPW (they are based out of australia, prices on the web site are in AUS)

Good Luck and Enjoy!
