2wd lancer engine into a 2001 mirage?

[grncivicdhr]

greetings from the 240sx world. i have a question: i'm not sure of the designation for the engine in the new fwd lancer (i think its 4g93). either way, is it possible to sway this motor into a 2001 mirage currently using the 4g15? any sites that have swap info, or experiance? any help would be great. thanks in advance

hi, the 1997-2001 model mirages can be swapped with a 4g94 [2.0 SOHC US Spec LANCER] motor the 4g93 is the 1.8L Motor which was also available on the 1997-2001 Mirages you can determine a Mirage with a 1.8 motor if they have the beige interior not the grey which have the 97hp 1.5 motor.

if your car is equipped with a 4g15 1.5motor you will need a few extra things to fit in a 4g94 2.0 SOHC motor. good luck.

and just like any newbie should do on that forum is to search...there has been 1 person on that board that has done the FWD Lancer SOHC 2.0 motor conversion and a galant 2.4 motor conversion and both swaps have been documented and many questions were answered in regards to the swaps. good luck! the swap isn't hard at all.

what else do you need for the conversion

if you have a 1.5L mirage i would suggest going with the 1.8L swap (4G93). there isn't that much difference between the G94 and G93 and i think the swap is easier for the G93. another thing you could do is go turbo. the 1.5's respond really good to turbos. definately check www.mirageforums.net and search a lot on there before you post.
