Hi, I recently just bought an evo with mileage up to 100k and I want to replace the engine with a new one if possible, sorry fro being a noob, but what the best route to go? is it possible to have mitsubishi replace it with a new egine? have it rebuilt? please help thank you

 

Wow.....

 

I second that wow. I didn't start modding until 100k. 155 now, still stock motor. Read, search, and learn from the forums. Some members on here are close to 300k miles.

 

Soo...your solution to a vehicle with 100k+ miles is replace the engine? Is there something wrong with your current engine?

 

WOW @ 300k + Miles!

 

Treat your car right and it will treat you right

 

What's wrong with your current engine? "High mileage" is totally arbitrary, but replacing your whole engine or rebuilding it solely based on the fact that it has 100k miles is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Do a compression test, monitor oil usage, leaks, and make an educated assessment of your engine's overall health based on that.

 

Mine has 119k and still runs strong..why replace an engine because it reached the '100k' mile mark...

 

I always say mileage is just a number. maintain a car well ams it should treat you well. Start nodding. Keep rolling. Don't waste your money.

Baller right there! new Engine at 100K? new Chassis at 150K?

 

Why do you feel the motor needs to be replaced?

 

Grabs popcorn and waits for a ridiculous response from the original poster. Why would you buy a high mileage EVO to only then ask to find out about replacing the engine? Interesting....

 

Get the motor checked before deciding to invest so much money

 

I bought my evo 9MR with 130K on it I just did all the maint. on it spark plugs, wires, timing belt, water pump, flushed every fluid and im talking about from power steering fluid to differential fluid and its running stronger than some evos with lower miles...just treat it right bro do all the maint. and you have nothing to worry about

 

I'm in for the laughs on this one. I'm of firm belief that as long as you maintain a car well and use quality fluids it'll last an incredibly long time. My old honda accord was beaten into the dirt daily and still rolled 200k like it was it's first day off the dealer lot.
