Old News!! 4G64 Swapped Into A 2002 Lancer
and actually, that is wrong too...the OZ Rally wasnt designed with fuel economy in mind. THE PLATFORM is/was...but thats why there are different trim levels. just look at the RA. Amby, you doubt SOOO much yet dont seem to support your doubts with any PHYSICAL proof. you are good at posting and shooting down those that are easily taken by your comments, but both here on evom AND SCLC have you been flamed for such comments. I wont flame. I encourage it, that way I can put down any false fears or concerns regarding WHAT I KNOW. and 1 thing i DO KNOW is that this is THE swap to do on your lancer. you drive a suby aswell..good going. now you have a car that was designed to fail.
In any case, what RPM said is true, bcause the cost is great for the engine swap. In addition to that, the potentials passed the engine swap are a lot more than the g94 can give. So, more or less, if you buy $3k turbo kit for our lancers now, you top out at whatever it gives you. With this engine swap there are so many more things that you can do.
Well apparently RRM knows a guy who has a 370 whp lancer so the engine is hardly topped out when you bolt-on a stage 1 kit. Something to learn from the 370 whp, the tranny doesn't like high power. If you swap in a new motor and jazz it up you'll have to start worrying about other parts breaking. Remember, the car was designed to handle 120 hp, not 300. I doubt the axles are very strong (as evident by people breaking them stock), the tranny won't be amazing (why would it be?) and other bits could be a problem. If you're just shooting for 200-250 hp though this is definitely an option for those wanting something a bit different.

I know I will get lambasted for this but, I swear I have seen (maybe it was on rpw's site) that you can put the V6 from the Galant into the lancer. We used to have a Galant with a V6 and that thing hauled. I would like that back hahaha. The hauling that is. Any knowledgeable postings on this please, if it would cost less than a turbo I am in.
