You were there when it was dynoed? We were... and it did not make that power. Come on now... this is rediculous. If you really want this swap done... go ahead and do it. We're just here to inform you, but I think you pretty much have your mind made up.

LancerPride

Yes i do i have the money to do it so im going to do it

Dude you're in Tampa, I've looked on car-parts, there are shops around you that have the engine AND tranny for 900 bucks. Trust me I've looked into it around our area. we are all alone when it comes to engine swaps, there is nobody around our area that is willing to do swaps for us. I'm a local I've been here forever. I've heard the same "I'll do it for one grand" "I'll get it done bro, won't be too high I'll let you know" When you say an engine swap shops assume that it's going to be some kind of direct swap and they have some stupid thing called "faith" in the owner that he knows what he's asking of the shop. It WON'T be $800. If you want to get this done for reasonable price start from another aspect. Upgrade ALL your suspension first. The lancer is an amazing car with handling and I think you'll be satisfied with doing that first. AFTER you realize how much money you're putting into a decent suspension you will either want to put more or keep going I don't know you or what you do. Then check out the engine. If you get an engine that has high mileage as long as it isn't seized, you're fine, just change out vital parts. all the gaskets, the timing belt, water pump, etc. It's easy when the engine is off the car. Just by the way you talk dude (no offense) but you do not sound like you're savvy with this type of stuff. I don't know if you're new to mitsubishi's, but like everyone has said 4G94, NOT the way to go if you want to be powerful on the roads. As it is, I don't understand what you are expecting from a FWD car anyway. Either way I wish you luck and take everything into consideration.

None of us are trying to be your enemies, if anything we all want this project to succeed. We are just trying to warn you of possible/probable outcomes.

As with anything that hasn't been done, or hasn't been done often, there's an unknown risk.

Yeah i understand im starting to buy the parts already got the tranny but im having a hard time finding the damn motor

anybody have any info where i can get one at a good price i found some but they want 1k for a motor that has 100k on it thats just F#$@ Crazy

Hmmm, why would it be hard to find the 4g64 motor??? That motor is all over the place. I went the the junkyard 2 days ago here in beaufort, sc and i seen 3 4g64 motors there. Now you can get a 4g64 motor and do a 4g63 dohc head swap which will work with out a doubt. check it out. http://4g64.150m.com/

a shop saying they can do it and then actually doing it is two different things. How many times has that shop down any swap?? Honda swaps dont count i can do one in 3 hours by myself. Markoj is just trying to give you a heads up as me and him have done the math and its alot of money either swap remember its not just the motor theres alot of UNSEEN problems you run into just do a little more homework before. If you can do it for really cheap. I hope it works out

LancerPride

Already did all my homework thats why im buying parts now and save up so if it does cost more for the swap then i will have the extra 5 grand to do it

it shouldnt cost 5 grand for just the swap anyways

OK, I think I will close this thread. When the build begins to take place, a new thread can be made on the progress. This thread is going nowhere.
