mitsumicheal7 and i were talking about puttin the 4g64 in out car and mentions that everything should bolt right up....if so how much would this engine run cost wise...i would be a little interested in this swap...lets go guys i need some input...and most likely some help putting it i if it goes through...what do you guys think?

what other things would i need...ecu?...

 

my understanding was that interchanging "families" (the 3rd number in the ID... 4g94 vs 4964) was never a "bolt-up" situation... someone correct me if i'm wrong?

 

thats what i wanna know...fro what he said it should have the same mounts but with a longer stroke...

 

i want to know why we couldnt swap a gst engine into the lancer. it seems that at most all you would need to do is fab negine and possible transmission mounts. please s0meone with genuine swap knowledge answer some questions.

 

you could swap it in for a good chunk...theres prolly been a million theard on this stuff but please keep it on topic...thiis is something that i a really interested in

 

i can't imagine that this idea has not been fathomed before, and it not having been done is probably for a good reason. is there material on this subject matter already posted on the forum? (i'm not gonna run the search...)

 

i have thought about it since one of the guys on my team owns a galant with the 4g64....hey maybe we can use that as the pig?

 

OK, I know for sure that the 90-99 4G63T motors dotn swap easily because they sit backwards to our car. I am tellin you guys, I really think someone should look more into how easliy that swap is. I wouldnt think it would be THAT hard. And nexus, nice car bro! And if you really want to I will consider taking that wing off your hands. hehe.

 

welcome mike....hey i need your help with this one especially if it can be pulled off...

 

Swap the Mivec out of the Ralliart, Im in the process of doing a feasability study, and things look good so far....

 

I think the main problem might be transmission/axles. I mean, I'm willing to bet that the 5spd on the Ralliart and all the way down to the wheels are Eclipse in origin. I mean, 5 lug hubs...

 

^ what are you talking about?....

 

What he's refering to is the axles and the wheel studs being different size than our lancers. Are the widths of the cars the same? Will the Tranny linkage hook up properly?

I beleive they are more along the line of EVO parts in all actuality.

 

thnats what im gonna have to do some researh on

 

I am willing to bet that the Lancer Ralliart has more in common with the current generation Eclipse than the Evo, I doubt if there any similarities between the Evo and the 02-03 Lancer or the 04+ Lancer. I could be wrong in this sense, but it costs alot of money for a car manufacturer to re-tool machines to build a completely different chassis. A good place to start would be the mitsubishi website, see what the front suspension of all the cars are, and see if you cant find how many splines the CV joints are. Another good place to check out different cars are wrecking yards, you can pull parts off all you want and compare for free.
