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!

 

hey that's josh's car! i actually helped him out with the immobilizer system to get it to start. (im noel from "groundwerks)

he has a custom cam in there as well. should put out decent n/a numbers.

 

socal folks are waiting on some display of power: dyno or 1/4. damn it josh! i'll badger his *** this weekend,

 

he's trying to arrange a "dyno day" with TT last i talked to him. should be fun to for us socal guys.

 

oh yeah. i'm hoping next month. i'm down to do a run. Josh just built himself a cold air intake

 

yep a 4g64 can fit on a mirage, theres about 3 or so have done so.

 

i wish i knew about this before i would have done this

 

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.

 

what is an immobilizer?

 

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.

 

yea its a very easy swap i just finish my swap on my 1997 mirage ls coupe. i had to get custom axles done but everything else bolts right on and works great! i am going to try to put the a 2.4l eclipse or galant ecu soon will have pics up soon.

 

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.
