Is this saying a ralliart engine fits right into the lancer with no problems?
If so... has anyone done this? And what are the gains?

 

this has been discussed many times, so try searching. yes we are told it fits, but nobody has done it yet. gains? whatever that motor puts out 162/162.

 

i did search 'mivec engine swap' and nothing came up.

 

well if you dont get hits on the first try, then that doesnt mean you have to stop.

 

Whoa... I searched a thread instead of the forums... My bad.

 

No wonder why I never find results when I search
HAHA. Wow I am stupid.

 

not sure about it but i would like to know. it might be something good to look into

 

i have done research and spoken with head mechanics at several Dealers and a couple at rpw the all say it should bolt right in right too the tranny and ecu may work not sure about that one.I am planning to do the swap this year sometime so i hope it goes well

 

and they recomend teh halltech ems with the swap and hat jsut adds to teh cost

 

I was considering doing this swap instead of rebuilding my engine.. we will see if I do it. It should work though just can be costly when you arent prepared and where as no one has really tried it thats likely to happen.

 

first and foremost....search

second: stock ECU?...no way...why?...cus the stock ecu doesnt know how to handle mivec...plain and simple...either you get an ecu with it, or go the EMS way....it should get you a greast platforn to start of on...but please search its been discussed to death around here and no one has stepped up to it....

edit: you may also need custom axels...and most likely a custom downpipe....

plus the all the extra sensors the the 4g69 engine has....

 

you gain will gain 200hp by putting in a RA engine

 

no need to be sarcastic

 

The gains are not what you would realize with a sds from Ripp and the cost is much much higher. When no one does it and it's virtually a drop in you can pretty much figure it isn't the way to go.

 

No-one pointed out the obvious. The link you posted was to RPW. Then you ask abotu a RalliArt engine fitting in a lancer. The MIVEC engine in thaat link is NOT the MIVEC in a Ralliart.

You are looking at two completely different engines, the 4G69, and the 6A12, a 4banger stateside versus a straight 6 overseas.
