RA swaps right now aren't cost effective yet. The lancer is still new on the market to a certain extent. It's much better and easier to buy an used RA off the lot. Also, the RA throttle cable is a bit different . . . it's on the PS side. Better to look at a 4g eclipse RS/GS . . . normal setup like any other car.

Hmm... now how much would it run ya, cus I think Id rather do a 4G63 T Evo Engine swap than add a turbo and all kinds o' sh*t to my ES...
Now, do I have to have the Evo 6spd Tranny too or can I keep my tranny?
Also can it be the Evo 4G63 or does it have to be the Eclipse GSX 4G63, I heard their a lil' different...
If your positive about the answer, that it can be done, please PM me about it cus Id rather do that swap.

I bought a 6A12 motor, I have been debating if I should do the swap or not. If I don't put it in the Lancer I might drop it in the mirage. I still need a trans and working ECU though the trans I got is Auto, and to me isn't worth swapping till I find a manual.
