Just sent the car in yesterday, due to too many cars occupied the space in the garage, i didn't take any photos of my car when i left it there. Hopefully by the Saturday i am able to see some changes done to the car. According to the garage owner, it should take 2-3 weeks to complete the job.

Thanks
Hmm... I'm curious to try this one of these days. I tried the 1.8 manual and it was so underwhelming.

I tried the 1.8 manual, also quite disappointed, you have to rev it high to get it real going. The 1.8 CVT is even worse. Hopefully my converted Lancer will be more livelier considering i had some mods on IHE and ignition.

First mod i'd done on the manual gearbox, modified upper clutch pump with EVO 3 pump. It seems this one is the go to item for every MT Lancer. The next will be performance clutch bearing and performance clutch, after 1 year of intensive practice.

What advantages will the evo3 clutch pump have over stock?

Its more durable as its made out of steel instead of plastics (original inspira), and its also later will pair with performance clutch bearing and performance clutch kit for better pedal feel and bite.

Nice to know, thanks. Do you need to cut anything in the cabin to introduce the clutch pedal?

excited to see how your conversion will turn out

Yes obviously need to dig a hole for the clutch and brake pedal to sit in the original place. There were already mounting points for the clutch pedal so the conversion will be pretty straight up.

My finances are not infinite, i still got my 1JZ E46 needed to complete though. By the way i already bought an EVO X Intake manifold complete with rail, injectors and throttle body for the 4B11.
Motivation for future then when got more budget.

Wohooo the conversion is complete, yesterday night had some hiccups as the ECU was loaded in with different MAP and the idling was all over the place. After calibrating the throttle body, engine at last is normal. Now tracing down the speed sensor issue.

No lar, 1JZ last mod was ECU tuning. The next step is refresh the under carriage and that should solve all stupid vibration issues.

Dear All,

The conversion is done and currently on the road for testing for any loose ends. Aside from very rare occasion strange clicking sound from the clutch pedal, everything else is good. Transmission is very easy to shift and clutch control is still not too difficult. Stay tuned.
