hey all i currently own a 05 lancer OZ, its AT and so far its all stock. ive noticed this car doesnt have much power and i was wondering if there was any engines that would possibly fit into the OZ. i know i know why get the OZ? well i wanted a wrx but my parents wouldnt let me so i got the OZ instead....yeah but if anyone know that would help, thanks.

 

well the only succesful swaps ive heard of are the 4g64,(EVO), and even then, money and labor is a pain in the ***, your better off going turbo.

 

ugh...that sucks. yeah ive heard a few different things...are there any sites with lots of parts for the '05 OZ? ive tried looking but all i find are parts for EVOs and '02-'04 OZs....

sweet thanks. Im also trying to go from SOHC to DOHC and thinking about switching to an EVO block, is there anything i need to know?

 

hope u have deep pockets....

 

hopefully deep enough...

 

any particular reason you feel you need a dohc head? why not just buy a cam?

 

or get a ralliart motor, they arent expensive its the 2.4 mivec and they fit in easily

 

The Evolution has a 4g63. The 4g64 is the 4-cyl galant 2.3l 16v SOHC.

Threads like this still bring a tear to my eye. Tremendously cost inefficient way to make your car moderately quicker.

 

Exactly, you should only be looking at a swap like that if you are pre-commited to dumping an additional 10 grand into mods after the swap. It's all about balance, for the price of the block swap you can get more power with other mods, if you do the swap then put the mods on you have to compensate with stronger drivetrain (and hopefully handling and brake) components, clutch etc. It also depends on how much actual work you've done on cars and how much you want to learn, if you're just starting out and this is your first car to work on or what. For the cost of the swap you could be making over 200whp (more than double stock) with other mods.. for the swap you'll make 110-125whp if you're lucky and it's done right.

 

i started a site for lancer parts you might want to check it out, link is on my sig, it doesnt have every part you could possibly get for the lancer but its growing

 

nice site

 

musta missed the 4g64 swap.... i've seen/herd of several 4g63t swaps (sucessful)...

nice work man, that should help lancer owners find parts and the correct vendor also... good work

 

i thought the ralliart 2.4l was the 4g64
