Mivec swap

So just how much exactly would it cost to swap in a mivec on a 02-03 lancer? and everything that u would need with the switch.

so how much would it cost all together? cause im gonna have an extra 2,000 in a month and swaping in a mivec sounds like a good idea to me. so if someone could just give me a rough estimate. thanks!

Haven't seen anyone try this. To be honest, getting an engine that's been on the market for about 10 months for 2k seems hard. Probably possible, but hard.

PM I REP 838 , as he's selling his.

You may need to modify it a bit. I believe the engine has (at least) a different exhaust, so I'm not sure how much will be direct-bolt-on.

From what I see, you need the motor, mounts, ECU, and harness. Your stock tranny should line right up, and it will bolt right in. If I new this motor was this easy to put in before I started to pay for my sds back in Oct., I would have definately got it. I'm more of the all motor type, but there's no such thing with a 4G94.

By motor I mean complete (intake and exhaust manifolds, Throttle body,downpipe, injectors and fuel rail, alternator, ps, and ac. I'm not sure on the MAS, just have to look to see if the #'s match. It's as easy as a Honda or VW swap.
