is an engine swap needed
hey, i have a lancer coupe with a 4G93 SOHC, planning on turboing it, but looking at kits etc seems easier to get a imported gsr motor. now the part im confused about is the gear box i have a "Four speed electronically controlled INVECS II automatic with torque converter and 'Sports Mode' tiptronic-style shift control" as mitsubishi says it ok but nothign like a manual. see i searched around and people were talkign about having to get a new gearbox aswell. is this true cause if so i'd spend the money on getting it converted to 4wd

I dont know much about that transmission... but just a rule of thumb, most NA cars (transmissions) cant take additional power that a turbo brings... but thats an assumption so i might be wrong there.
