Boost Power of 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer ES or GT with Manual Trans Using AEM Intake
- Nov 20, 2015
The Mitsubishi Lancer has been in production since 1973 and has served as the platform for the infamous Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution for decades. While the performance of the Mitsubishi EVO is legendary, that kind of power and technology comes with a hefty price tag. This fact persuades many would-be EVO buyers into entering the EVO tuner lifestyle with the purchase of the EVO's underlying platform, the Mitsubishi Lancer. The current generation Mitsubishi Lancer was released in North America for the 2008 model year, but has seen some slight changes for 2015; including a new CVT transmission.
The base engine for 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer ES models is a 2.0-liter 4B11 16-valve DOHC MIVEC engine rated at 148 HP. 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer GT models see a slight bump in performance with the larger 2.4L 4B12 engine rated at 168 horsepower. The base 2015 Lancer ES model, as well as the 2015 Lancer GT comes standard with a 5-speed manual transmission. For owners of 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer models with either the 2.0L, or 2.4L engine and a manual transmission, AEM Induction Systems can help boost the driving experience with an AEM cold air intake system.
AEM Induction Systems has been designing and selling cold air intake systems as an easy way to increase horsepower since 1994. AEM, was embedded in the import tuner market from the very beginning and its first cold air intake was offered for sale in 1994 as a Do-It-Yourself upgrade for the Honda CRX. AEM continues with this legacy of improving the performance of sport compact cars with the AEM cold air intake for 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0L & 2.4L models with a manual transmission 21-778C. AEM has been able to improve the performance of 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0L & 2.4L models with a manual transmission by replacing the factory air induction hose and air filter box with a performance designed air intake from AEM. AEM cold air intake 21-778C combines a high-quality rotationally molded HDPE upper intake tube, with a mandrel-bent and powder coated lower intake tube. The AEM 2015 Lancer CAI places the washable/reusable AEM Dryflow air filter inside the fender well of 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0L & 2.4L models with a manual transmission for cooler, denser, airflow. Reducing air intake tract restriction, along with the introduction of cooler denser air, has resulted in dyno proven power gains on an otherwise stock 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer GT 2.4L with manual trans. Power improvements were seen across the entire RPM range with peak gains coming on strong at 4,900 RPM. A 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer GT 2.4L with manual transmission showed an estimated gain of 12 horsepower and 13 lb-ft of torque at the front wheels. AEM engineers design intake systems as a fully integrated component of the vehicle. Significant testing is performed to assure that an AEM air intake is an easy way to increase horsepower safely, and consistently. AEM air intake owners can feel confident knowing that their AEM CAI or AEM short ram intake system is designed to improve performance reliably and in a usable RPM range. AEM cold air intake systems, and Dryflow air filters, are made in the U.S.A and backed with a lifetime limited warranty giving further assurance that AEM is confident in its products.
