engine swap on a 2010 DE?
I'm interested in either installing a turbo on my DE, but I'm wondering if it might just be better to do an engine swap from a ralliart, since i know that those are FWD instead of AWD, and the swap would be easier than doing one with an EVO motor.
so my question is, has anybody done an engine swap on the 2008+ lancers? or turboed a DE, ES??
maybe even done an EVO X 4b11T swap?
since mitsu has stopped producing evo's now, my goal is to make my Lancer just as badass ha. help me out guys
thanks

your lancer will never be as badass as an evo lol im pretty sure a 4b11t will bolt up to your tranny and utilize the same motor mount locations, but idk of anyone that has tried. be the pioneer!

ARE YOU CRAZYY?!!! lmao i don't have the ***** to be a pioneer! It doesn't help that my knowledge of mechanics doesn't stretch very far, but it's worse to know that i risk the chance of FU*^%NG up my baby!!!
if somebody else had already done it and gave me advice, I would probably make an attempt lol.
but i don't think it's as simple as an engine swap is it (cuz that's so simple isn't it? lol) don't i have to make it AWD as well?

4g64 or jdm engine
Why not just stick with fwd save the drive train hassle and go with either a 6g75, 4g64 engine or a jdm engine kit like a 1997 - 2001 H22a engine kit 220 hp 160 torque, or a k20a type R engine kit 220 hp and 156 torque atleast with a jdm engine you can see 400 whp and more torque if you add 10 psi turbo boost or supercharge and tune it. And the k20a is a beast at handling forced induction even in stock form but way better with internal work etc. alot of people will say the lancer is heavy our car is close to an rsx k20a curb weight RSX is 2,760, 9g lancer is 2,900 I bet with some weight modification you can see 2,500 - 2,600 and in drag having more length helps to win. My friends 2,800 pound four door accord with an h22 whoops up hatches and coupes with only him in the car and even with 2 people in the car. Check out this link below a stock 9 g lancer with a 160 hp 2.0l engine totally keeps up with a hatch that looks like its 1,800 pounds lol. And another video on youtube its a k20 four door accord that whoops up a k20 hatch with ease . and the lancer is 600 pounds less then an evo.
