i got an 04 lancer es and i am swapping it for a 4g63 not to sure what car but i believe its from a eclipse 96+ because he told me its going to the be around 210 hp turbo so i believe its from an eclipse

just want to see any opions or comments

 

good luck. i think you'll be the first 04 to swap his engine! congrats.

 

hhhmmm...please keep us updated....but 9but good luck...96+ eclipse enignes are in the wrong orientation....meaniung everythings on the wrong side...anywho...good luck...and keep us updated on it all....take lots of high quality pics

 

hope the tranny bolts to the motor

 

hope u got a lot of money or the guy is working for free

 

I'll be very interested to see how this goes. Good luck!

If you don't have a digital camera, get one. We gotta see this.

Question - I'm not trying to be rude or hate or anything. I just was wondering - but for 210hp, why not just get a turbo kit on your 4G94? Just more faith in the 4G63 block, or just wanting to be different?

 

Oh boy, it has been explained to death here (more detail) and the mirage board (glad we broke those habits long ago). Well, it's his money.

 

^ well...people will do what they want with their money...

 

Because he could beef up the 4G63 even more and get way more than 210 hp???
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you can bore a 4G63 out more and it accepts more boost safely.

 

should ahve put the 4g69 in instead, and then turbo'ed it.

 

i was told i could get more horsepower out of the 4g63 then if i just turbo my engine right now

the second option was swapping for an evo engine but the cheapest one i found was 4500 cdn

 

OK. Makes sense. I was just wondering. You should also look into swapping for a Ralliart engine (the 4G69, as mentioned above) and then turboing that. The MIVEC and turbo would be a fun combo!

 

Agree ^
A ralliart swap would be the easiest. Turbo that and you would be well over 210.
Have fun with your swap though. I wanna see pics!!

 

^lol

 

DSM swaps have NEVER been done properly, except Extreme Racing Drag Mirage. The latter just gave up late in the pro import drag season and unretired the Talon. The cost can be staggering like doing an Evo 4-8 swap. From 97 to now, NO ONE has done it . . . there is precedence. Otherwise, we should have seen tons of 302 'stang motor in Miata's roaming and terrorizing street racers and tracks.

I'm just trying to save the guy's heart and money aches.
