Thats like a whole step beyond this g69.

 

which is why I think it's possible... I'm not sure about cheap but I guess that revolves around what you concept of cheap involves...

 

I would love to see a 4g69 in the 02-03 body

 

I hate when people who barely have money ask about doing things like this

 

The 4G69 in the Ralliart, which would have *possibly* similar mounting points as the regular Lancer (04+) is a different design and thus would need some customization. For example, the throttle cable setup is right where the PS / AC stuff is on the Lancer. That's just one example of how the unknown comes in. Wiring harness issues you will have to address ....

Honestly, if you are concerned about time and price, the only engine swap you should really be doing is a 4G94 into a 4G94.

 

Yeah, if you don't have much time or money on your hands, I'd suggest regular mods. A turbo alone takes a decent amount of time, and that if everything goes perfectly. I guarantee an engine swap will go perfect the first day you start on it. There is always going to be some small part you forget about or end up needing when you go through with it. Usually coming in right at midnight when everything seems to be going great and all the stores and shops are closed.

 

this isnt new its been done, diavlo did it in his 1.6l in the uk where the motor is not even available.Using his info you could do it , and do to the motor being available here for cheap it shouldnt be a big deal the problem is you need more than just the motor you need...


quoted from diavlos thread.and all these things cost money

 

Plus a lot of time without a ride if that's your only car

 

I would say to expect a minimum of 1 month not driving the car...

 

Diavlo himself says not to bother with the swap if you have the 4G94.

 

Really? I'd say if you have the time, money, and resources, 160 hp and a much better starting point for mods it would be worth it.

 

This is what he said

 

Well if you keep your eyes out you might be able to score the parts for cheap, and if you are able to do the work yourself then the project would deffinately be worth it.
His point about just trading in for a ralliart doesnt take into consideration the fact that some 02-03s go for really cheap especially in the states, maybe a shell with a blown motor for 1-2 k and the ralliart parts for 2 k for everything. so for less than $5000 you get a 2.4l lancer with 130 whp to start. PlUS iTs GoT mAd MiVeC!
Seriously though these prices might not be accurate but it makes you think of the possibilitys


Exactly I thought the 06s were rated at 172? either way its 40-50 hp more than the 4g94 plus being 2.4l its going to have more torque

 

I've checked and my trade in value is a slap in the face...

 

blue book is like 3-4 grand for my car... If I had like an 05 or 06 I would just trade it in for a ralliart though...
