Hey all, I am new to this forum and am also new to mitsubishi ownership :P

I own a lancer GSR and am contemplating an engine rebuild on the 4G93 engine.

Can anyone out there offer any advice on how much this will cost? I am not aiming to go max power, just be able to build a motor that can take a slight increase in boost to around 14 to 15 psi.

Also what would a gearbox rebuild be worth, i am thinking to do all these sorts of things when the engine is out of the car to save money.

One more question, will the standard turbo be able to produce that much boost? or should i opt for the larger unit from a Galant or EVO? To rebuild one of these turbos am i looking at around $500??

Thanks everyone i would really appreciate some assistance.

Regards
Mimmo

 

Hello !

What side of the country are you on ? just depends on where you are



Pete

 

I am in Western Australia, in Perth.

Is it cheaper to do this over east? as in cost of parts?

Thanks.

Btw, in a previous post you spoke of a guy in busselton selling a worked GSR, like really worked. Do you happen to know if it has an evo 3 front and stock rear spoiler??

If so i think i know that car :P

Cheers for the help

yep thats the guy, i think his name is Carl ?

Umm, RPw should be able to help you in perth, or try Speedworks.. they been doing a few lancer things lately

i think hes coming to Collie this weekend for track mess around day

 

Yeah that car was owned by a guy in perth before, it used to have the plates WRX_ETA.

Do you have a $$ value though of an engine rebuild?? just a rought estimate atm, cos i belive i will have another 20 to 25000ks on this engine......depending on how i drive it :P

You wouldnt happen to have a spare VR4 Intecooler lying around would you :P, I noticed you were selling a GSR intercooler in another post.

 

Yes ! thats the Car.. WRX_ETA

umm, not sure of the engine rebuild dollars, id suggest give dave and rpw a ring, he is extremeyl helpful

and no, hehe, you cant have that vr4 cooler.. my mate wants to swap it for something i want off him hehe.. so i may not eve have it for long.. but your more then welcome to get that gsr cooler off me.. and have TWIN coolers ! hehe

hey, also, if you havent join www.mogwa.org WA mitsi owners site, they are helpful, have cruises and meet days and stuff, and you can meet other lancer enthusiasts

 

Cool thanks for that.

Any opinions on Race Torque in Osborne Park?, i think they are down the road from RPW, and have had some pretty interesting cars in the car park, including an awsome Peugeot 205 T16, the old Group B rally Weapon, it was an impressive sight :P

cheers

Mate what about getting a VR4 half cut. I have a mate who has just done the conversion to his GSR and I can tell you it is a weapon of a machine. In the end it is the better option, as you will have everything there. I also feel the price will be along the same lines as a full rebuild so might be anither option.

 

What about insurance after that???

That would prolly have to be past over the pits, get permits etc.

With a high insurance bill already, i dont think i would appreciate an increase in the premium

 

you don't need to rebuild to run 14psi

my baby happily runs 16psi all day every day (std turbo, std motor)

125kw at all four

do u NEED to rebuild?

personally I wouldn't bother with the 2L conversion unless I was going to go absolutely nuts with it.

Toby's GSR (WRXETA) cost him shyte loads as it's one of only an elite few 4G93's in the 11s..

Talk to Jamie on GSR_EVO group, he's a fellow Perth 2L GSR-er

 

RPW has in stock for the GSR engines forged pistons and some conrods arriving now.

WE do build the engines and also have improved camshafts, stock modified conrods etc.

Virtually evertyhing here and located in Osborne park. Drop by and have a speak with us at your conveniance I am sure you will find lots of interesting items.

 

Yes, and Carl wants to sell WRXETA for like 24 grand, if he hasnt sold it yet.. i saw him at track day a coupla weeks ago again and hadda talk..but without the plates.. dam you should hear that wastegate open !
