4G63 Mirage?
 

ok heres the story, my sisters boyfriend, Tyler, is from colorado, and recently bought an 86' Mitsubishi Mirage for $1250, he is not 100% sure what kind of motor it has in it, but its not stock, he thinks its a 4G36T, but bacwards would be 4G63T, he says it is out of a mitsubishi lancer, and according to http://evo-mitsubishi.blogspot.com/2...olution-v.html that would be the 4G63T, just thought it was interesting... the car is totally gutted, hard wired, with a "custom turbo kit" it also has AEM cam gears....

i have never heard of a mirage with a motor swap... so i thought i would post this and see what yall had to say... just for snits and giggles

Nope, no one locally has ever even dreamed of doing that... NO ONE !!!!

Re: 4G63 Mirage?

Re: 4G63 Mirage?
 

It can be done! What does "hard wired" mean?

Re: 4G63 Mirage?
 

why the hell would any one want to put a 4g63 into a mirage lol

Re: 4G63 Mirage?
 

Except Mark (TKRPerformance)?

Re: 4G63 Mirage?

Dee Dee Dee

Apparently you didn't catch the sarcasm.

Re: 4G63 Mirage?
 

Are you serious? I can't tell.

Re: 4G63 Mirage?
 

^Me too, so I'm just going to say....Start from page 1

Re: 4G63 Mirage?
 

waddaya mean, am i serious? yea im serious, he really has a mirage with a 4g63 in it!

Re: 4G63 Mirage?
 

point being, 4G63 or not, the car is still uglier than crap, lol

Re: 4G63 Mirage?
 

Are you kidding me!! Thats amazzing

Re: 4G63 Mirage?
 

Where's the respect for a good well executed project and hard work. Whether it is your taste or not.

Re: 4G63 Mirage?
 

Supa: You think so...how about the car in your sig...

Here is mine with a small turbo....

Re: 4G63 Mirage?
 

Looks isn't always the priority. Considering the car weighs about 2000 lbs, it doesn't take much power to make it fast. Plus if it's done right, they can be pretty cool. Everybody and their brother can put a bodykit on a 2G. :-)

Re: 4G63 Mirage?
 

Dude, people have been doing that swap for the past 10 years. I'm guessing the Mirage you are talking about is an 89-91 Mirage. The 86-88 Mirages were a different body style and a very different engines. The 89-91s came in a turbo version and the 4g63t is an easy swap into them.

And everyone is being sarcastic to you because you don't know that a Mirage/Colt is the easiest car to swap a 4g63 into.

later,

Re: 4G63 Mirage?
 

And the fact that someone on this board has done damn near an entire evo swap on a Mirage.

All Motor 4G63 into a Mirage... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RT-y8hyNVc

Re: 4G63 Mirage?

Re: 4G63 Mirage?
 

I was really thinking about doing a motor in a awd mirage..keep it looking like a mirage..total sleeper. ugly, sorta. but, tastefully modded, they can look good.

Re: 4G63 Mirage?
 

speaking of which, what happened to that mirage with the volks that was pretty quick? I remember seeing vids of it racing a red supra or something.

Re: 4G63 Mirage?
 

Function before fashion guys. Yeah it won't pick up any puss but sheesh. It'd be the cats ass pulling up to somebody that's in a $20k+ car and waxin' the shit out of them while their girl is like omgwtflolbbq.

Re: 4G63 Mirage?
 

that is the way it works when I pulled on a new 911TT in the other

Re: 4G63 Mirage?
 

Yeah but unfortunately your car isn't ugly.

Re: 4G63 Mirage?
 

1.) It is the 86 body...

2.) I didn't know that the mirage/colt were easy 4g63 swap shells.... i dont really pay attention to cars like that getting swaps.... sorry guys, lol

:theBar:

Re: 4G63 Mirage?
 

oh and my car isn't just a show car if thats what you are implying....

Re: 4G63 Mirage?
 

just go to the project are and look at my car it is not hard to do

Re: 4G63 Mirage?
 

Yeah, cutting a hole in the firewall and switching everything over to RHD doesn't look difficult at all..

I kid. I'm amazed as a mofo at the amount of work/fabrication it took for you to do this conversion, I simply cannot believe that something like this came out of minnesota, then you go and drive it in the winter.. Why can I not believe something like this came from MN? I don't know, I just can't.

As soon as anybody even brings up a Mirage or an Evo 8, etc... I tell them all about the ugly duckling of a Mirage that turned into a Evo 3.

Re: 4G63 Mirage?
 

okokok, fine i was wrong... i found some pretty sweet looking mirages, apoligies to whoever i offended for calling them ugly! lol, some of the nicier ones, i would actually own!

Re: 4G63 Mirage?
 

Just cuz your car has a body kit, doesn't necessarily make it a show car, unless it's got at least 5k into the body work and paint. IMO, most body kits are ugly as sin.

Re: 4G63 Mirage?
 

Except mine though, right, lol, yea i know mine is ugly as poop, but thats ok, cause its not on there anymore, buhahahahaha! but seriously.... i apoligize for making jokes bout the mirage, when in fact i did not know the potential of their "coolness"

Re: 4G63 Mirage?
 

Just to add on to the Mirage swaps

http://www.lilevo.com/

Old 3G swap

Also can be done with the hatch, wasn't someone on here working on that?

Almost the way to go because of how light the cars are compaired to say a Galant VR-4

Plus the website

www.mirageforums.net

swap section, mostly people talking about it though and not enough people doing the swap, tkrperformance is an exception again...

people even have been swapping evo motors into the 5G mirages

Re: 4G63 Mirage?
 

I was going to swap a hatch to awd for slowbubble

Re: 4G63 Mirage?
 

haha, you know what? there is this guy that just moved in down the road from me, and he has a civic, a celica, and a mirage, just found out he has the 4g63 swap in his mirage, im gonna have to race him now, lol

Re: 4G63 Mirage?
 

evo replica

on grip vol.6 i believe it is (not sure on the vol. #) but the featured car is a evo5 replica. it was a mirage but now its an evo. it looks really good.

i remember hearing someone in mn that did one but i don't know who and i might have just been a rumor
