Street-Legal Air Intake Upgrade for Non-Turbo 2008-2014 Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0L & 2.4L
- Mar 27, 2015
The Mitsubishi Lancer has been in production since 1973 and has served as the platform for the infamous Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution for decades. The model has worn different names around the globe, including the Dodge/Plymouth Colt, Chrysler Valiant, Eagle Summit, and Mitsubishi Mirage. However, it wasn’t until the early 2000’s that Mitsubishi marketed the car as the Lancer in the United States. This was due in part to Mitsubishi’s plans to finally export the eighth generation Lancer Evolution to the United States in 2003 after witnessing the success Subaru had with the Mitsubishi EVO’s top rival, the Subaru Impreza WRX STi.
The current generation Mitsubishi Lancer was released in North America for 2008 and will probably be the final generation Lancer, and Lancer Evolution to be produced. 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 non-turbo Mitsubishi Lancer DE, ES, and ES-Sport models are powered by a 2.0-liter 4B11 engine. While it shares the same basic architecture as the 4B11T engine used in the Lancer EVO X, it makes about half as much horsepower. Beginning in 2009 Mitsubishi began to offer a larger 2.4-liter 4B12 engine in Lancer GTS models providing slightly more horsepower and torque than the 2.0L base model Lancers.
Owners of 2008-2014 Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0L DE, ES, ES-Sport models as well as 2009-2014 Mitsubishi Lancer 2.4L GTS models looking to increase acceleration and boost performance can quickly bolt on a 50-state street legal increase in horsepower with a K&N air intake system. K&N short ram air intake 69-6544TS was installed on an otherwise stock 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0L NA and made an estimated increase of 6.73 more horsepower and 6.87 lb-ft of torque when tested on K&N’s in-house dynamometer. Similar horsepower and torque gains can be expected from 2.4L 4B12 powered Lancer models.
K&N air intake systems increase performance by reducing air intake tract restriction and reducing turbulent airflow. The K&N short ram air intake for 2008-2014 Mitsubishi Lancer DE, ES, ES-Sport 2.0L & GTS 2.4L models replaces the accordion like intake hose with a mandrel bent aluminum short ram intake tube. The air intake tube used in K&N air intake 69-6544TS is finished in a silver color powder coat for long lasting good looks without the hassle of polishing. An application specific air filter heat shield is included with the K&N 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 non-turbo Mitsubishi Lancer air intake. The K&N 2008-2014 Lancer air intake incorporates the factory fresh air routing to help bring cooler, denser, outside air into the air filter. At the heart of K&N air intake 69-6544TS is a washable and reusable K&N high-flow air filter. The legendary cotton gauze design of a K&N air filter provides superior airflow and superior performance with the added benefit of reusability. The K&N 2008-2014 Mitsubishi Lancer DE, ES, ES-Sport 2.0L & GTS 2.4L short ram air intake system is an easy to install 50-state street legal performance upgrade that can be installed in about 90 minutes or less using basic hand tools. By following K&N’s simple step-by-step instructions owners of 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 non-turbo Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0L & 2.4L models can experience increased performance without sacrificing engine protection.
