And the shop couldnt do this? I love dudeinamirage posts, they are always informative. It sounds like you could do this in your own garage in an afternoon.

 

he probably could...

 

OMG why is this so expensive? My friend got a badass cam for his 2.0 VW, and we put it in np in his garage. We even had to take off the intake manifold (because we all know how THOSE engines are deisgned ) I say try to do it yourself, you learn alot, and have some fun!

Maybe im just wierd, but i love digging into things like this

 

because shops won't even attempt something if it's a tad bit difficult. And BTW, I'm installing a new cam gear at the same time.

 

Dyno this pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeee

 

The 4g9x doesn't really have timing marks, so shops are scared of doing it wrong and busting up your valves and piston head.

Thanks DIM. He has forgotten his disclaimer.

 

are you aware that the last "e" in please is silent? j/k

 

it would probably be cheaper to fly in DudeinaMirage to do the swap than have a shop do it. I'll make an attempt at it and let you all know how it goes.

 

DIM lives in Washington state or Oregon . . . can't remember his move out of TX.

 

What do you mean no marks... there are marks on both the crank and cam... also there is a timing rule on the lower timing belt cover. If you had the book for the car you'd see that the dot on the cam gear matches perfectly to a point on the head when at TDC. As will the crank pulley be saying TDC by the gauge of the cover. All you need to do is get the cam in there right with the engine at TDC and install gear so that you are at TDC according to it. From there you'll be able to adjust to your hearts content.

Edit: not to be rude sounding but these dumb a@# fu@#ing mechanics you are going to are really pissing me off. Just do it yourself and if you want me to scan pages for you or assist i will. Just pm me... you've suffered enough man... here's a rope!

 

wouldnt it be just as easy for a mitsubishi dealership to install because they know the car? my friends dad got his s2k supercharged and the dealership did the install.

 

my dealer sucks much ***... I wouldn't trust them to put on a new antenna..

 

come on uranium we need you to finish this the suspense is killing me

 

there's nothing else going on for the lancer ... so pretty much this is the excitement.... except earlier i read that rrm has somethign up their sleeves

 

You can say that again we need to see how far we can push or lancers in N/A mode not theorize but anyways uranium your our only hope
