for some of these prices people are spending on custom turbos and what not for the 4g94, might as well save up a bit longer and do a swap.. if its around 12k. Same power as top of the line turbo upgrade but then you can still....upgrade.

 

i agree with mitsuozboi it could still be upgraded and trust me it will hopefully by early summer

and a quick note the garage quoted 12k but dont forget thats canadian not american

 

im sorry..i no longer drive a lancer... so yeah..lol go drive ur integra..

 

ow dont get me wrong.. not that im saying fwd cars are slow..ive seen some crazy ones.. but im saying..over all perfomance.. handling.. etc. do u think an srt-4 can out handle an evo??!?!? do u think stock to stock it can spank and evo? i mean..think about it.. i hate to say this..but u can make any car fast.. any car!making power is the easiest thing ot do.. but for a car to handle as good as a stock evo.. with active yaw control.. stock.. comon now.. srt-4s are nothin but civics with more power.. i respect em.. they can be fast.. but its fwd.. yall are mad coz u know its true.. i had a lancer.. it was fun.. but im never contented..

 

i know theyre two different classes of cars, thats why i dont like to compare them. thats why srt4s arent big rally cars. and evos arent big drag cars. but for fwd, id go with srt4, but rally racing or autocross, evos he way to go.

 

how about those 1g dsm's awd?? those are monsters in drag.. for me.. power that could hook is the way to go..and the only way to hook effeciently is by AWD.. but fwd with slicks arent bad.. but not as good..

 

True dat

 

yeah i know about those, but how many evo or stis do you see in pro drag? those dsms are little cars and fast as hell, so the AWD kicks *** for them.

 

keep in mind.. 1g DSM's are HEAVIER than evos and stis.. im sure theres more drag evo and stis than srt4's.. and yeah on the other hand.. domestics (RWD not FWD) rules the drag scene because..they can make so much torque and power.. its almost unfair ..coz sprayin(nos) on domestics can make em run 9's or even faster..all day..

back on topic.. i really wish this guy could convert his car to awd.. not saying now.. coz money is not that easy to come by..but it would just make him soo much happier.. and make his car perform more effecient.. and have best of both worlds.. POWER and CONTROL .

 

No they aren't.

 

but yeah..for a coupe.. 1g dsms arent light and little..(as stated on the previous post) about 3000 lbs..or a lil more.. but weight isnt far from an evo.. so it should spank.

 

America:

Montreal, Quebec, Canada Is On The Map

Yeah

 

...as compared to what? A compact FWD Civic hatch? So.

 

wanna race hahaha

 

I am giong to be arrogant.

I am willing to bet that the ammount you paid for the car + the engine + the swap = the ammount of a used Evo.

Someone with that kind of money one would think they would just buy an Evo. I think its great that its been done, but looking at the quality of the picture, it looks like some decent photoshop work. I have thought about this swap as well, and well... its the price of an EVO upgrade... go trade the sucker in, and get a bad *** car.

Want a turbo. Talk to RRM, or go to turbo-kits.com... Im sure that if this is "actually done" the car hauls ***, and doesnt even need upgraded. But come on, the person who has the engine swap knows nothing about it. Hi, my names joe, i know absolutely nothing about cars, but will you put this cool engine i bought in it?

Most shops would say no just because its so much work. Or they will slap down a 5-10k bill on you. Waste.


Again, props if its really done. Ill beleive if i see some video footage. Too many photochopped BS **** out there... a good graphics designer usualy knows nothing about the inside of the computer :-)
