4G64 Can Fit in a Lancer and Mirage

I don't know why it took me so long to find out about this swap, but you can put a 4G64 into a lancer and it fits. Just found out about this and re-posting information that prench and blacklancerr gave me.

http://www.sclc.net/forum/showpost.p...15&postcount=1

to bolt a 4g64 into your lancer, youll have to use:
3g eclipse 2.4 engine
3g eclipse 2.4 5speed tranny / or switch bellhousings
3g starter
3g timing mount
eclipse 97 2.4 ecu or Id get a 4g93 1.8 fed spec ecu with emange
and thats how you gettirdone!

1 modern G64 in a 5g = failed to defeat the immobilzer - used a G93 ecu, not fully reaching its potential. It was barely enough to compete w/ a modern SE-R. Not bad for a handicapped G64.

A hand full of 4g mirages with 2g Eclipse droptop G64.

After going through a swap like that, why on earth wouldn't you just go standalone engine management?

The first guy that did it, wired it all up himself. I dont think he wanted to mess with full EMS to tune with.

I think it may have turned out easier, oddly enough. And he certainly wouldn't have had problems with the stock ECU holding him back.

It's usually a circuit that's either embedded in a key or triggered by an RFID that immobilizes the engine if the correct key isn't being used to start the car.

I don't think you're telling the whole truth. The tranny mount doesn't completely line up 100%. Also, I do believe the bellhousing is different, unless using a G64 tranny.
