Angry Engine blew up

I threw the rod of my 4g94 through the engine block. What can I do if Mitsu screws me on my warranty? What would a replacement engine cost? Or is it worth going for a 4g63 and what would the mods cost?

Do you have any mods done to it? That makes a big difference...

Did you crack the block???
It doesn't cost a lot to put in another 4G94 in.
Now if you did crack the block you have to get a new engine,
if not rebuilding and changing few parts will do the job.

?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????
???I want to know if putting 4G63 is worth the money or not???
?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????

Rebuilding will not cost you as much as putting a new 4G94 in

I have a hard time believing you threw a rod and destroyed your motor without putting your car out of warranty. It took me 8 mos of driving from pig rich to dead lean to blow a piston, so I can't even imagine what you were doing.

If it's a legitimate claim...file it. Otherwise, don't **** over people with legitimate warranty claims.

i know a place that sells lancer motors. a friend just paid $400 for the whole motor. Swaped it in a day.

that is if you want to remain stock. Now if you want to build your motor then it will cost you more.

i blew mine too. threw a rod and pop'd 3 huge holes in my block. my situation was like i got hydrolock and it bent the rod. over a month's time..it just gave way i guess. cost me $500 and some change to get a new one. got it out of a junk yard from a total'd lancer. i saw some on ebay for 399.99 plus $50 freight. not bad. i had my friend install it. took him about 14 hours. good luck to yah
