i kinda think its worth it but yet but useing my money on my car is some thing i like to do

 

but it would be easyer to swich it with an evo engine ir eclip's and most likely cheaper

 

This is someone who has completed this particular project: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2557281

One does not simply walk into creating a VR-4. The Mitsubishi Legnum VR-4 can be had for $22,000 in Australia. You then have to import it. There are a few for sale that I have seen. Other than that, I would advise you not to do it. This will not ever end the way that you think it will.

 

It would be cool to do but its really not worth the headache or the $.i have a 01 Galant that ive been working on for some time now.Has all of the exterior vr4 bumpers and lights all around and looks alot better then the Galants made in the US.If i were you just put a evo ecu in and drop a evo 8 motor in it.

U have a choice for the transmission u want to go with this.you can do a Eclipse 2000-2005 manual swap or you can do a evo tranny and convert it to fwd.

the path i went is 2.4l with evo 8 head and im starting my awd conversion with the evo tranny and transfer case very soon.So you can really do alot to this car but all you need is time and $$.

 

This thread is 4 and a half years old. Jesus people.

 

FFfffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!! !!!!

 

i have a galant and its work in progress me and my boy are tag teaming the cost 2003 es switched too vr4 galant were most likely to pull the engine form a 3000gt and rebuild it i guess it a cheep when your buddy owns a transmission i can get the engine for around $500 TO $700 but ehh if they say its not worth im still going to do it

 

ok i lie the engine might cost me around 900 to 1000 big woop http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/pts/1952559523.html

 

Good luck on this project. You are better off buying a Legnum VR-4 and importing it. I know that you have probably been told that time and time again by people who know what it takes to pull this kind of thing off. However, if you are still dead set on this, have at it. This thread is old, dead, and should be closed.

 

(By the way, you might want to have a gander at a 6g74...just a thought...that is what all the cool kids are doing...including RPW).

 

so who actually went threw and did the swap? pics? hehe

 

Old thread dig up. Yes, swap has been done (just finished it earlier today). Pictures will be uploaded to our website @ www.citperformance.com
