OSM Garage Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Hey bro You mite wanna look at this article. viewtopic.php?f=13&t=7862 Theres HEAPS of info on this sorta thing. Quite a popular and easy conversion (if you have the tools/cash!) I cant speak for 79' Lancer. Lowlancer or Caboonatlarge or Fuel. They are the masters of Mitsubishis!!!

bubblegoose Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 cheers for that ive read all the stuff i can find on swapping the motors but my heads not on right this evening and just wondering if somebody could confirm what im thinking. its a 1979 lancer thats had the 1200cc and 4spd swapped for a 1600 and 5spd (4g32?) looks to have crossmeber swapped not modified as i can see clean paint where the old one was bolted im wanting to drop a 4g63 dohc in the hole and as far as i can work out i can use my 5spd from the 1600 as the bolt pattern is the same but the motor i have is from a fwd so i would need to get a flywheel from a rwd 4g63, are all rwd the same? and for the clutch i would have to use the pressure plate from the rwd motor but are all the friction plates the same spline pattern and diameter? i know this has probably all bee covered a million and four times but ive read all my eyes can take and just want to double check it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 The DOHC conversion is a bit tricky in regards to the clutch. You can use that box, but you'll need a later model RWD flywheel (bolt pattern is the same as FWD) or something. Macabre should post and enlighten us.

Ke36 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 gbox will bolt up will need 6bolt rwd 4g63 flywheel only difference between the rwd 4g63 flywheel and the 4g32 u have is one has a 5 bolt crank (4g32) and the 4g63 has a 6 bolt crank you will then need a clutch plate to match the 1600cc gbox as it will have a 20 spline (i think its that, either way its definately less than the 2l gboxes) shaft whereas the 2litre boxes have a 23 spline shaft im not sure if the 2l and 1600cc pressure plates are the same might be best to compare your new flywheel with your old for bolt holes etc, but i suspect they will be all the same in that regard too as they are identical size p.s ur guna have to bash the fuck outta your firewall cos i bet uv got even less room than my car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowlancer Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Sounds mean, keep us updated. Have a look at megasquirt for the ignition, build it yourself and heaps of help available, as well as being cheap as Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegoose Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 hmm megasquirt looks pretty cheap, are they easy to build and tune? also anybody had any experience in firewall modification and getting it past cert as i was tinkin maybe cut the middle out and weld in a new section set back a few inches rather than doing it properly with a hammer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ke36 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 i did mine properly with a hammer no problems getting cert, you cant really see it though and i dont know how much yours will need biggest problem i have now come across is i think in the process of bashing the frweall i cracked my heater core and it has leaked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just start a new thread about them I guess! They are apprently quite straightforward but you need a semi-sound knowledge of electronics and tuning. Have a look online bro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegoose Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 ive found a place that sell the kits $140 for the basic kit which is all im guessing i will need as im using carbs as for the fire wall all i was thinking was pretty much cutting and welding in a recess that sort of looks like a baking tray, being the best way i can describe it might chop that out see how much room i have behind it this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Before you shell out for the kit, post a link up here so we can all see. Best to make sure. I'd honestly do a bit of research bro. I know ALLLLL about getting into a project without researching it first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegoose Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 change of plan going with a megajolt kit, a bit older but im all for keeping it simple which the MJ looks like it should, going to order the kit in the new year, just having problems with my engine now the guy i brought it off (not paid yet) hasn't replied to my emails for bank details and address and has now requested a refund WTF if ther is a guy on here called korupt from wellington thats just sold a 4g63 on TM can you send me your address i want the engine ive got a twitch from not having anything to dismantle for so long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
