ok well i messed up my engine the other night , so i've been looking into engine swaps, rpw's web site says the 6a12 should be a direct fit, i search ebay i found this one

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEWA%3AIT&rd=1

comes with just about everything, so i wanna get some feed back from u guys, what should i do about tranny? whats it gonna take to do an awd conversion

 

i dont know how you will do it, but if you put a v-6 dohc in your lancer ill be the 1st to give you props.

 

the motor is about lets say 1500 for all that on ebay, and im sure i can get some one to drop it in for a grand ,rpw says it should be a direct bolt, but i dunno about the tranny

 

ask them what tranny bolts up to it they should know considering they say its a direct bolt on

 

That would be pretty siick though!!

 

bolt right up... dont think so.

the TT vr4 engines reliability... terrible.

i wouldnt even think about just dropping that ebay motor in withoout a complete tear down on it.

 

that would be pretty sweet if you were able to swap that in there, but i have a good feeling that its not going to happen. there are countless threads on here about engine swaps, but it has only been performed once, to my knowledge.

 

there has been counless threads of the 4g63 swap yes...
6a12 swaps no...
I can't find any information about the 6a12 swap cept for the one they have
on the rpw site...
but I have seen lancers/mirages in cardomain that has this swap
mostly people from philippines or australia...

 

Well there is definatly the majority of the parts you need there (half shafts and such), It is deffinatly possible to do, but quite frankly I dont think its worth it. I would be on the hunt for a wrecked ralliart if I was you. Then you get Engine, tranny, axles, suspention, rear end, absoulty everything, and that more of a direct bolt in swap (if you have the entire car)

 

i wonder if they did sell the 6a12 here...*canada
I already found a place selling an evo 4+ maybe 8 engine and full AWD system...

With 240 hp *from the website you provided
the 6a12 wouldn't be a bad idea

 

the gain would be relatively the same as a bolton turbo kit and it would be twice the hassle and cost of a turbo kit. someone please tell me how this wouldnt be a bad idea?

 

the same reason of swapping a d15 engine with a type R or b16 engine instead of just slapping a turbo on it...
don't be a hater...

 

Hey, be an innovator... Go for it !

 

i dont think it would fit on the lancers engine bay.. seeing vr-4s engine bay(stock) being cramped up on a car its suppose to go makes me think its too big for the lancers bay.. but yeah.. anythings posible.

 

hmmm....i thought the 6A12 is from the JDM FTO, which came with either the 4G93 or 6A12...no?
