ok so check this out. ive had this weird little idea in the back of my had for a few weeks now. and from al the info i have gathered it actually seems possible. a 2002 lancer Es with a neon srt-4 engine swap! i mean Mitsu. is like a subsidary of dodge here in america. and im about 80% sure that the lancer engine is also in the base neon.. Ad all of my friends that know cars think it might possibly work. and i see it as the engine bolting right up but the tranny might need to be worked a little. but the whole reason for this topic is to get input from you guys on what you think and if you know for sure this wouldnt work. Cause i have yet to find a reason as to why it wouldnt work. but can yu imagine an srt-lancer

 

Where theres a welder, theres a way. Basically you need a SRT4 that was wrecked in the rear and to start by putting in motor and tranny, then comp and wiring. I have done swaps where instead of splicing wires we have actually ran everything from the new harness including taillights. I hope you have like a month and can get a wrecked SRT cheap.

 

oh hell yeah if i even have a chnce to try this i will. i have a friend who does engine swaps all the time and he wants to do this. so i mean if i find a wrecked srt for kinda cheap it will be tried.

 

Technically, Mitsubishi isn't a subsidiary. They are their own company, but "strategic partners" to quote Daimler-Benz. DB only owns a certain % of stock, they don't actually own the company. Sorry to nitpick.

 

would be very cool but hell it sound like alot of work

 

why not a viper srt-10 engine? huh huh huh!!!

lmao j/k

i think it'd be OK, but why not just do the 4g63T engine/tranny...theres plenty of wrecked 2g dsms that u could buy off of...even if not entirely together for every ONE srt...there is 10 DSMs lmao. just curious as to why u'd pick the elusive SRT-4 engine over the dime a dozen 4g63T engine....unless i am missing something here.

but u can always get a b16 engine...=)

 

da neon does not have a lancer engine...dodge no longer uses any mitsu parts

 

r u sure...i heard the srt-4 was a mitsu engine, or at least a mitsu block...

 

Nope, it's based off a normal Neon engine and is completely designed and manufactured by Dodge. It's over-engineered enough so that 500hp seems plausible on the stock block, but since it's new no one has had a chance yet to push the engine to its limits. Uses a Mitsu turbo, though, maybe that's what you were thinking of.

 

Nope, the 2.4 litre will not work, its orientation is incorrect for the Lancer. (The intake is on the front of the block) The Lancer engine does not come in any Neon.

Like someone said, if theres a welder, there is a way. Good luck on your findings.

 

umm I heard that Mitsubishi designed the turbo in the SRT-4.....??

 

You are correct. Mercedes has enough controlling shares to steer the course of other stockholders.

Yes, the SRT uses Mitsu's TC to cut cost down.

 

not sure or not..... just asking..... wouldnt it be cheaper and less of a hassle to just rebuild your motor, and boost it?

 

Yes the SRT-4 uses a Mitsu 16G turbo, but it spins in the opposite direction as a normal 16g.
