For preparation of the vehicle, you may either place the car on ramps or you may place it on jack-stands and remove the front wheels. Be sure that you order the correct alternator with the correct amperage. You may want to wait to order your new alternator until you see what the old one looks like. Mine was 120A. Be sure to have your faulty alternator tested to be sure that this is the part that is failing. You may want to be sure that when you order a new alternator that you get one with the pulley already installed. I tried to buy an AutoLite from the auto parts store and the pulley from the old alternator would not work on the AutoLite. I think this is the same for some Bosch as well. I think the pulley configuration varies. You may want to also replace the V belt since you’ll have it off for this repair anyway. You may also want to replace your power steering fluid after you’re done with the repair since you should be doing this periodically anyway.

- Stock air intake cleaner and air ducts shown in this picture. Before getting started with the installation, disconnect the negative battery terminal and remove the strut tower bar from the engine compartment.
- Loosen and remove the 3- 14mm bolts and 1- nut shown on the passenger side.
- Remove the 3- m14 bolts and 1- flange nut located on the drive side strut bar bracket.
- Once all 6- 14mm bolts and two flange nuts have been removed, continue to pull the strut tower bar out of the engine compartment.
- Removing engine covers: Remove the 2- 10mm flange nuts and the 2-10mm bolts from the lower engine cover.

With the LANCER EVOLUTION X, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) adopted its first ever trunk-mounted battery with a view to delivering superior performance through a reduction in the proportion of vehicle weight borne by the front wheels. Since the battery is the central part of the power-supply circuitry, changing its location had a significant effect on the electrical systems. Nevertheless, MMC was able to mount the battery in the trunk while ensuring component commonality with the GALANT FORTIS (the vehicle on which the LANCER EVOLUTION X is based). An overview is given in this paper.

INSPECTION SERVICE POINTS FOR A BLOWN FUSE Remove the fuse and measure the resistance between the load side of the fuse and ground. Set the switches of all circuits which are connected to this fuse to a condition of continuity. If the resistance is almost 0 Ω at this time, there is a short somewhere between these switches and the load. If the resistance is not 0 Ω, there is no short at the present time, but a momentary short has probably caused the fuse to blow.

Most late model cars have in-built defence mechanisms to guard against increases in boost pressure. Such systems are important but can be an obstacle when increasing boost pressure The Turbosmart FCD2 will allow boost pressure to be increases above the factory level and prevent momentary shutdown of the fuel injection system.
IMPORTANT NOTES ON YOUR BOOST CONTROLLER
• Once the fuel cut defender has been installed, the factory over-boost fuel cut will no longer operate at the factory level. The boost can now be raised to dangerous levels which can damage your engine if it is not capable of handling higher boost pressures. Be extremely cautious when increasing the boost pressure above the factory level. Seek the advice of your local tuner or performance specialist for further information

I. Preparing the Vehicle
1. Elevate the vehicle and secure the frame with jack stands.
2. Remove the front wheels.
II. Strut Removal
1. Remove the three nuts securing the upper strut mounting bracket and discard.
NOTE: These are located inside the engine compartment above the strut pocket.
3. Remove the upper clevis retaining bolt and save for reinstallation.
4. Lift the lower end of the strut out of the clevis and remove the strut from the vehicle.

Read and understand these instructions BEFORE attempting to install this product. See reference to diagrams on back page.
1. All Tru-Time Cam Gears for Mitsubishi have provisions for the cam angle sensor that is mounted behind the intake cam gear on the 1995 to 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse. The models starting with the 1997 model year have the cam angle sensor mounted at the rear of the cylinder head.
2. The procedure to change the gears is identical to the timing belt replacement procedure outlined in the factory service manual.
3. Obtain a suitable box or container to hold the hardware that will be removed from the engine during this installation. This will aid in the prevention of lost nuts and bolts.
4. Disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting these procedures.
5. Removal of cam cover

Installation Instructions for: Part Number 21-472 2002-2004 Subaru Impreza RS 2.5L 2003-2004 Subaru Impreza TS 2.5L 2003-2004 Subaru Outback Sport 2.5L.
The AEM Cold Air System is the result of extensive development on a wide variety of cars.
Each system is engineered for the particular application. The AEM Cold Air System differs from
all others in several ways. We take the inlet air from outside of the engine compartment where
the inlet air is considerably cooler than the hot under hood air. The cooler inlet air temperature
translates to more power during the combustion process because cool air is denser than warm
air. AEM has conducted extensive inlet air temperature studies and we have seen temperature
reductions of up to 50 degrees by pulling air from outside of the engine compartment. The air
mass flow to the engine is increased because of the increased airflow and reduced inlet
temperature, which translates to more power. The AEM Cold Air Systems come with complete
instructions for ease of installation.
