So a 4G3T can't be swapped in a '97+ Mirage?

Damn, I really like the look of the 5th(?) gen Mirages. IMO, they're the best looking compact car. Only thing dissapointing is the weak 1.8 engine. If they can't take the 4G3T, what other engines can it take? I've heard a USDM Lancer engine can be swapped in (dunno the engine code for it; I'm a Nissan boy, not Mitsu), is that true? And does it make it any faster? Bleh. Thanks.

Yes, the USDM Lancer engine can go into a Mirage. It's either the 4G64 or the 4G94... I don't remember which, but its a 2.0L engine with potential to turbo.

Check out www.mirageforums.net for mor info, plus a stronger support base on the Mirage and the different option for modifying it.

Thanks.

or you can look under my thread 'hey' and you may lkike what you see ;)

Some "easy" or easier swaps for a 1.8L mirage could be:
2.0L from the US Lancer- 4g94

2.4L MIVEC from the '04+ Ralliart Lancer, (and base
galant and outlander i believe) -4G69

2.4L from some year and trim eclipse and galant- 4G64

2.0L Turbo from an EVO IV-VIII, IV-VII are JDM (forgien), VIII would be very hard to find used or junked

do you mean 4g63t if so, it can be put in it, check the mirage performance forums for info http://www.mirageforums.net/phpBB2/index.php

Hey man just go here and buy a turbo for your 1.8!
Swaps can be pricey . www.rpw.com.au
www.visionimports.com
Half price of a swap and you'll be able to find 200 plus hp easy w/ some cake.

well, he can turbo the 1.8 but 1.8s cant hold as much boost as a 2.0 and u can keep moddin with the g63 buildin lots more power soooo, i say if the best thing to do is to swap if ur lookin for 1 powerful RAGE dood

Hey everybody, this guy (DaveSev) is bullshitting. He doesn't even like Mirage, or Mitsubishi. check out my thread "Freaking dumb Jealous People" http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=1981141
If he likes Mirage, he wouldn't say something like that, I think he's just trying to get some attention or respect by saying that he likes Mirage, and he's just one of the jealous people, as I mentioned in my thread. He doesn't even have a car. Little boy, if you don't know anything, don't try to act like you're so into cars. Haha

XD

You don't know anything about me. You think you're "into cars"? No, I don't think so; a gaudy bodykit, ugly paintjob, and a turbo timer without a damn turbo. And why would you buy just a muffler if you weren't a ricer? Don't be so arrogant as to think anyone who doesn't like your car is jealous of it, because I can sure as hell tell you that that isn't the case at all. Fuck, I doubt you even know anything about engines. Did you need a shop to do all your oh-so-complicated mods, like that turbo timer and muffler?

Just because I was born later than you doesn't mean I'm as ignorant as you, in fact, I think it's quite obvious it's the other way around. Goodbye.

Haha, you're so funny. I'm sorry that I got you so pissed. Don't be so short-temper man. It's just a fact that you are jealous, and don't be mad because I got it right. And don't be trying to sound like I'm making mistake. Everybody knows about you already, ask people in this forum if my car is cool. Hey people check out my car at www.cardomain.com/id/rightfielder
And Dave, don't try to find people, like your friends to back you up by talking shit about my car, I know how it is. And so what if have a 1.5L engine? Mirage has 1.5, and I'm proud of it. And my car is a Mirage, so what if I fix it up and make it look nice? As long as the car looks nice, it's cool. Doesn't mean you can be jealous as fuck. Haha

And one more thing, you're the only one that says my car is ugly. That shows that you're jealous! Haha. And don't try to sound like more than "one" person think my car is ugly. Only you. If you know about car, even if you see an ugly ass car, you wont talk shit. This is called respect. And that shows that you don't know shit about the community. Anywayz, you pissed a lot of people off. Watch out man. Ohio.

And you don't even know shit about engines too, You fucking called the 4G63T a 4G3t or some shit. And turbo timer, it's not only for turbo cars man. It's for both N/A and Turbo cars. And my car, I did pretty much everything by myself with my team members, only the paint job, I did it at the shop. Anyways, good luck. You are famous now.

See how many people you pissed off.

And one more thing, you're the only one that says my car is ugly. That shows that you're jealous!

Correction, I'm the only one on this forum who does. I could easily find 10 more people who think your car is riced out, and if you want me to, I gladly will.

And you don't even know shit about engines too, You fucking called the 4G63T a 4G3t or some shit.

How does not knowing a certain engine code mean I don't know about engines? You sound like some kid who read an article in Super Street (BTW, you like SS? I'm sure you do, it's a ricer mag) and thought he knew everything. As stated earlier, I know a helluva lot more about Nissan engines, and I could give you the code for basically any of their engines ever produced.

And turbo timer, it's not only for turbo cars man. It's for both N/A and Turbo cars.

You're correct in the fact that it can be used on a N/A engine, but it serves no purpose. A turbo timer prevents oil solidifying on theTURBOCHARGER, something your car doesn't have. Alls you are doing is wasting gas by keeping the engine idling after you turn it off.

So, return to that argument that states I know nothing about cars.

Ok, lets stop here man. Peace. Don't really want to argue with you, if you think my car is ugly, then it's ugly. But I can just tell you, no matter how nice or ugly a car is, there's still some people think differently. But they still show respect, they won't just say it out as if the car hit them b4. Well, I'm not mad because you don't like my car, I was just kinda mad that you didn't show me the respect at first. If you think my car is not nice, or riced out. Just tell me something that I can do, or give me comments. Sorry I just don't really like people yelling out things. Anyways, peace.

And just to tell you, if you don't know about me, don't guess about what I know and don't know, or what I have and don't have. You never know. But if you think I don't know anything, then I don't know anything, it's up to you. But I know who I am, my friends know what I know. People know what I own. Anywayz, sorry about getting so dissappointed at first. Because seems like you don't really understand my style. Peace

And you said you can find 10 people that say my car is riced out. I can find 100 people that say they like my car. It's just true that no matter how nice a car is, there's still people think it's ugly. I think Mustang is hella nice, but some people don't. Same thing

My friend did the 4g63T evo motor swap! it took about a month.. they go right in with the ecu, wiring harness and what not.. u just need new mounts and mount brackets....

and u gotta be good!
hehee..

damn dood you can find all the shitty information you post here over the net. BTW it sounds like your posting straight from a different page, your a fuckin dumbass, people like you steer others away with your smartass shit talking, so if its not positive, why post? i know why, your a bitch, who likes starting/ talkin shit over the net cause "nobody KNOWS who i really am" well MOFO guess what law of karma is a bitch, how bout this copy and paste "we get what we deserve in every life. Our good and bad deeds produce good and bad results from lifetime to lifetime. With karma, there is supposedly no unjust suffering, because no one is innocent. All suffering is deserved on the basis of bad karma" so keep talkin shit its bound to lash back! :iceslolan :disappoin
