Am I missing something. Gotta make sure, cause I'm a few minutes away from ordering mine

ok, in plain english... the 5th gen 4g93 1.8L mirage intake manifold is better than our stock intake manifold in all aspects.
opinion: if you're not going to take the effort to port it, you should leave it well enough alone for someone who is. you probably won't feel enough of a gain with it unported, but the gain is there nontheless.

Yes I was referring to the 4G92 Mivec engines which the DOHC head pattern is different on the intake side to the SOHC engine.s

thank you for the confirmation on the G92 manifold. at lease we don't have to sit around and wonder.

YEs to also confirm stock for stock the 4G93 manifold is a performance upgrade for the 94 engines.
But you must get the throttle body flange on the 4g93 manifold machined out to the same diameter as the 94 throttle body or you will actually go backwards in power. Shoudl take a total of around 1/2 hour to grind / machine out to the same diameter.

cool, good to hear lancer and mirage guys getting together. it puts a tear in my eye 
now that i've read this whole thread i believe i will be hitting up the junkyards pretty soon. unless i can find one at the price AirQuez is selling his for...$50 shipped.

i searched, i found, i creamed myself.....
i thought i saw some peoples sigs mentioning the intake manifold from a 4g93. this is great because my sisters '97 1.8 mirage is on its last legs. odds are its gonna be a junker in a few months. lets just see if i can't move it along. muah ha ha

To clear up some confusion, and to help me out as well, can one of you guys write up a formalized how-to, with shopping list and tools needed, for the 4G93 swap along with the DSM throttle body swap (actually two seperate how-tos might be better). I think it would help everyone out a lot and clear up confusion since this post has gotten pretty large.
the DSM throttle body swap hasnt been confirmed cus rhyzin ran into a few things, i belive the TPS, as for the intake manifold, follow eboys write up on it, its really the same steps
