LOL...he should know to use the heat range as the previous normal plugs which are either 5 or 6 heat range lol. I use range 5 at present.

[JJ16]

yea 5 would be good for a regular engine, i use 7's , used 8's also..

[neocyst]

So... does the Platinum NGK's come in 5's?

Yup...and also in Irridiums as well.
I use the NGK Irridiums BKR5E IX in the AD Wagon...will work just fine for the Lancer too.

[JJ16]

well, when you go to the parts place just tell them its for a Lancer and what engine type and they should just hand you some plugs which would be good for that engine, or which is usually used on that engine type..

how do you know when your injectors need cleaning ?

[chindian88]

can i use amsoil power foam to spray out the throttle body on the 4G15?

[JJ16]

oh scene na u dont u know...it depends on the type of spark plugs u use i guess

the last time i changed spark plugs were in march i believe, i use irridum 7's (turbo) so i would tend to use those plugs....and well i changed my filter in july or so...for some strange reason i would change my filter alot more than my spark plugs due to the actually damage done to the filter...

what i knwo some ppl do, is take out their spark plugs and just tend to pass a metal brush over it, jus to clean it up a bit, im not sure if its recommended..when my plugs need changing i just usually change them.

When you press down to get the engine kick down, and it doesn't happen right away or takes a long while before the engine kicks in. And finally when it do kick in the car feels like it goes know where lol

A sign is burning up extra gas than regular on a day to day normal driving.

[TheOne]

Hi guys, been hearing a clickin sound everythime I mash the brakes. The click actually occurs as soon as I engaging the brake pedal but it is not constant however. I have noticed that is usually clicks when the brakes are "cold."...

I was wondering if the shims are worn and this could be the possible cause, any help would be appreciated.

[JJ16]

:|:|

apart from what was said...i will also add.

If your engine is breaking up, this can be caused by fuel problems....leading / meaning your injectors or fuel filter should be changed/or checked..

But apart from the signs, i think it is safe to say that you should clean your injectors every 3months or so.....its cheap, easy and takes less than 20mins...

Also the fuel filter which cost like $30? or $45? should or can be changed every month if possible....If its one thing i dont make joke with is my fuel system, luckily i have a AEM wideband..which prevents you from any worries at all...

[neocyst]

Sheriff on cipero street has them and Gayahs on top of cipero street has them as well.

Bought them today $70/plug. Didnt get time to install it though !

[QG]

Cool! You cyah go wrong with them plugs. I have mines about 3 years now and they still good.

[chindian88]

okay guys, i having a lil trouble with the 4G15, i sprayed out the throttle body following the directions on the can, then changed oil and plugs. car was working fine until the tappets started making noise. it's really bad, for some reason they're not getting any oil. you can tell that it's all of them making noise. it louder than the barrel (and that thing loud).
i know it could be low oil pressure but it not low enough for the check light to come on.
tried an engine restorer, no change.changed oil again and tried a bardahl2, after about 5 mins driving it quieted down, after about 10 mins was like normal (no noise at all), then drove for a little bit and switch off engine. when i start back up there it was again

anyone ever experience this or have any ideas as to what could cause it.
help

^ ^ ^ Your tappets are dirty. Remove...Clean...and Replace. That's the only real fix.

new question,
occasionally when the ac cycles on in my ck2, the lights dim and the radio will cut likewhen you turning the key to start. The idle gets rough for a second. Car idles about 600-650 in drive,800 in park. What could be causing this?

[Sanctifier]

^ ^ ^ Possibly defective alternator.

i'm thinking about buying an evo, just a few questions people, help/info would be much appreciated.
1. where can i get an evo 8 to by Roro, if i still can.
2. cost.
3. insurance cost, fully.
4. cost of maintenance and how often.

[JJ16]

An EVO 8, is a bit costly, but I believe there are one or two on 2nr for sale...

Insurance may be a problem depending on age, and record in previous... if you get insurance, im assuming you would want "proper" insurance, where you can possibly get fully comprehensive correct?

I've never owned a evo 8..so i cant really answer maintenance, but it would depend on what you plan on doing.....its a boosted car as well as a high performance car, so maintenance may be a bit more important than just a regular everyday car... however if you keep it stock then it should kill you...

also, how often i guess would also depend on how much you drive..

its nice 2 get this opinion or this information from actual evo 8 owners...use google search im sure you can find MANY sites, where people discuss evo 8's, builds and maintenance...as for insurance, i guess you can call your current insurance company/broker and see what information you can get

[QG]

Jodi ali in claxton bay had an evo 8 customize when last I checked. His evo evo 7 was 180,000 (about), so the 8 will be just above that. Send jodi a pm, he on tuner.
Insurance is a problem. There is a thread about insurance on this mitsubishi forum I believe or ole talk.

[JJ16]

^^ u sending d man by jodi uh wicked yes...

however if you keep it stock then it should kill you...
