K&N Air Intake System for Mitsubishi Lancer Adds Power and Acceleration
- 20 Dec 2016
The engine design features an aluminum block with cast-iron cylinder liners, with an aluminum cylinder head with a four valve per cylinder, double overhead camshaft layout. Mitsubishi independently developed the intake and exhaust manifolds, intake and exhaust ports, and other elements related to engine tuning for its 4B1 version of the engine. The 2.0L version of the engine, named the 4B11, features a 1:1 bore:stroke ratio (3.38 inches each) which is referred to as square. According to Mitsubishi, these cylinder dimensions allow the engine to develop peak power at relatively high 6500 rpm, and to provide more linear power delivery and a wider torque curve for better flexibility while driving.
And while the architecture of the 4B11 and 4B12 shares much with the powerful EVO engines, upgrading them to deliver EVO levels of horsepower and torque would be a difficult and expensive task. There is a way to improve the performance of your 2015 - 2016 Mitsubishi for less than the cost of a quality putter: the K&N 63-5506 AirCharger air intake system. The system has been chassis dyno-tested to demonstrate an estimated 5.41 horsepower gain over an otherwise stock 2015 2.4 L Mitsubishi Lancer. The K&N 63-5506 AirCharger air intake system replaces the restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing on 2015 - 2016 2.0L and 2.4L Mitsubishi Lancer models. K&N AirChargers significantly reduce restriction to incoming air flow as well as reduce turbulence in the intake tube. This allows your engine, with each intake stroke, to draw a larger volume of air than the factory air filter assembly would provide. Air is then directed through an aerodynamically-verified intake tube into the engine's throttle body for a guaranteed power gain. The intake tube accommodates the factory mass air sensor and crank case vent hose.
Best of all, the K&N AirCharger air intake system can be installed in 90 minutes or less with simple hand tools like a ratchet set, a few screwdrivers, and a couple of wrenches. All tools required are listed in the clear, step-by-step photo-illustrated instructions specific to your car that come included in the package. Once you've installed your K&N filter you've eliminated the need to buy another air filter for the life of your covered 2015 - 2016 Lancer. The only maintenance is a service you can do yourself in no time at all. At intervals of 100,000 miles (depending upon your driving conditions) use the K&N 99-5000 recharger kit to easily clean your AirCharger air filter, preparing it for another 100,000 miles of driving. The K&N air filter you purchase is designed to last for the lifetime of your vehicle, which K&N guarantees will perform for up to 10 years or 1,000,000 miles without requiring replacement. the K&N 63-5506 fits the following vehicles: 2016 MITSUBISHI LANCER 2.4L L4 Fuel Injection - w/Manual Trans.
