I almost 100% sure some one has already asked this and had this answered here, but I've looked around and haven't seen it.

I want to know how hard it is to install a 4g63 into a 2004 Lancer Ralliart 2.4L. I've heard that they fit right in with not TOO much fabrication, but I've also heard that its a pain. I know they all run 4g63s in Japan, so it obviously works somehow. So, if any1 has done it or knows how to do it... if you can just give me a heads up on what I'll need to do and possibly what else I may need... it'd be greatly appreciated.

*NOTE: I am keeping it FWD; I know that I'll need the ECM and the Harness; I know that i need a new timing belt, passenger side motor mount, and that it will need a new fuel system. I really just want to know if it'll mount up easy and if it will cost me over $3,000 to do this ( I plan on spending $1,500 on the engine).

And please do not post responses that include "Just throw a huge turbo in it and get it tuned." or "Run nitrous man!" That is not an answer to my question and that is not what I want to do.

Thank You!

There was a guy who did it awhile back. He was in canada I think. IIRC he paid bout 8500.00. He paid I think 3500 for motor then had tranny fabed up then labor
