doncarbone's OZ (4G94) to Ralliart (4G69) engine swap + 4G69 5spd Outlander AWD swap

2003 OZ Rally (4G94, automatic) --> 2006 Ralliart (4G69, manual)
Newer pic: Attachment 332180 Before / After: Attachment 333265 Finally decided to get a project build up. Some of you may have seen my Custom Car PC project which involves putting a 350W PC computer into the trunk of my vehicle and a custom fabrication for my dash which houses a 10.2" touch screen and volt gauges. I've come a far way with that particular project but through persistent daily driving, an old beaten up motor and general curiosity, I soon turned my attention to upgrading my car well beyond its interior. Here's the car a few days before she was gutted: Attachment 334659 My inspiration for this swap came from Diavlo's UK Lancer to 4G69 swap who thoroughly researched the process and did a great job describing some of the obstacles along the way. I'm hoping I can do the same thing and help anyone who owns an OZ/ES lancer perform this swap. All in all, it's an easy swap, just a lengthy parts list. Disclaimer for those who think I should have just bought a Ralliart: Diavlo does say that anyone with a perfectly good OZ Rally or Lancer ES from North America shouldn't bother doing this swap and all-in-all he's offering good advice. Diavlo converted a 4G18 1.6L UK lancer to the 4G69 as the Ralliart, at this time, was not available in Europe. My situation is a bit different though for four reasons:
So far mostly everything fits - I'll get into the areas that did require custom work and I'm happy to answer any questions.

EVO VIII steering wheel, picked up off ebay for $200, airbag included too!
carbon fiber is an overlay piece from RexSpeed Attachment 334646 |
Looks like a lot of fun. You will have a very unique Car once finished. Can you out an EVO8 front bumper on on of those? It would be sweet to turbo the 2.4 and have a FWD beast.
|
Yes you can its just really much wider than the rest of the car. Fenders and bumper..
|
I didnt think about the fender width since it is the front but it does meet on the sides by the flares.

http://body-kit.com/lan02e7ts05.jpg http://body-kit.com/lan02e7ts01.jpg I do plan to turbo in the future, I'll be talking to Cranswick on that |
looks awesome man, that stage 3 clutch is going to be insane, that unsprung disc is going to take some getting used to.
i've always liked that vii conversion...i was going to do it to my 03 ES, but i got a stock OZ rally kit in the same color for like $160 both entire bumpers plus lips, and skirts...that deal threw the vii conversion out the window, plus i decided the RA would be my fun car, and i would leave her body original. any time you need some insight, i own both body styles, and both 4g94 and 4g69, not that you need to know anything about the 4G94 anymore :p |
Looks good! Im totally in this for the Auto to Manual swap information. I have an auto RA and I'd love to make it manual some day.
Good work so far though! Keep it up! |

Nice build thread so far man. I'll be interested to watch this progress .
|
Thanks dude. Impressive work on your OZ turbo; wow 222whp!?
How are the Tein Coilovers btw? I was thinking of throwing those on soon actually (haven't bought them yet though) Are 18's too big for the OZ; is that why you went with 17"; do they rub at all? |
Cool build, can't wait to see vids of this thing :)
On another note, I'd stay away from the stock RA CMC, use one from a base Lancer or an Evo (read somewhere they were the same) as the RA unit has a bad habit of leaking when used with aftermarket clutches. Although it didn't affect everyone (Crans, it's your cue, lol), it seems to be a recurring problem. Last thing, this thread needs more pics! |

Tein coilovers ROCK!! Tein suspension components in general are great, high quality and functionally superior to alot of others out there in my opinion. Before the coilovers I had Tein S-Tech lowering springs which were great too. My car had 18's on it when I bought it. I hated them personally, mainly because of the style they were butt ugly but also for my plans 18's were just not gonna work. I cant recall if the 18's rubbed I got rid of them the first chance I had. My 17's rub a little bit but thats mainly due to the offset of them and I have to be at full lock going backwards at an angle for it to rub. I actually want to drop down to 16's soon so I can drop the car a little bit more for better cornering at autox. |
