Why are you doing this? Yes people have built the 4G94.

I think it depends on what your plans are for it. Your questions are a little too broad and can be answered mostly by searching. Turbo build? NA build? Drag or cross? Daily or weekend warrior?

Quick answer, not a lot. The 4G94 simply is not a good NA motor, it wasn't designed for it.

Get the DOHC from a 4g93. Contact some people in Puerto Rico or in Australia. Get some high compression pistons and do a lot of aggressive tunning. Of course there is more involved so you will have to do some research.

^ that's an area that hasn't been checked out, and is pretty inconclusive. He's better off at boosting then going a route that he's going to have little to no assistance with. Especially when he couldn't even search on his own in the forum. Sorry, but I'm gonna say what you don't want to hear, it's not worth it for you. You can't search properly, so you'll be unable to do the job that's needed to be done.

Going NA on a small, 4-cylinder is always the more expensive route and always yields the least gains, always. If you just want more power, forced induction is the way to go. There are many reasons to stay NA, power is not one of them.

Yea you guys are right about that. Installing a turbo on a Lancer is just as hard so be sure to do plenty of research before you start anything. Once you start modifying then reliability may be an issue.

reliability is always going to be an issue no matter what. Once you start modifying your car there is no such thing as a vehicle that is going to be 100% If that's what you're going to go for, then you shouldn't be modifying cars it's that simple.
