Can anyone tell me what kind of engine a 1991 Mitsi Lancer GTI would have?

It's an 1800, non-turbo, 5-speed manual.. If that helps.

Or if anyone can tell me what kind of engine I could put it one to replace the old one?

Cheers.

You would be looking for trouble to do a cross transplant unless you also do the engine management system as well.

The later 1992 model used a 4G93 1834cc engine, which continued right through to 2002.
No idea of the physical differences though.

468761 2006-07-05 09:22:00 Oh, heh.

Is there anything on the actual engine that'll confirm or identify the model?

468763 2006-07-05 09:45:00 It's front wheel drive..

I found out about the mitsi-tappet curse.. The loud way.

I have to figure out what to do with it.

468764 2006-07-05 09:49:00 Sell it? Do drifting with it? Tune it for street racing? MTLance (6768)
468765 2006-07-05 09:52:00 I want to keep it, it's a tidy car.. Had a little bit of work done to it, some nice gadgets put in (stock outside)..

I just don't like the noise.. I do drive it hard now and then and it just worries me.. A friend suggested I used it as a trade-in for a GSR or and EVO.. But there are lots of them around, I havn't seen many GTIs in Chch.

468766 2006-07-05 09:56:00 Do you think it'll have value over the years with Jap car? American Musles do and exotics. It'll take a long time to become a museum product. That's a hard work to wait over the years. MTLance (6768)
