jimbeam_chick Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 hi, Yes i have looked through all the forums and i did not come across anything that gave me a good enough answer. i am wondering if anyone knows if it is possible for me to put a 96' mitsubishi mirage engine into my 82' ke70 and if i will be able to pass the roadworthy for a victoria registration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Instigator Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 No on both counts. Of course anything is possible with enough money and effort. You're wasting your time though, what gearbox are you going to run behind it? FWD Mitsu engine into a RWD Toyota? Just get a 4k or 4age don't even bother.

machg Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 You may need to be more specific about the actual engine designation if you want more specific answers about what is possible. It MIGHT be possible to use a sigma gearbox with this engine if it is the right model engine. I would be asking more questions on a Mitsubishi forum in this regard.

beerhead Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) There's only 3 different stud pattern's on mitsi engines. So machg is right, a sigma, scorpion or starion box should work. They aren't the most sporty or strong box around though from what I've read. If the motor is coil pack it should be fairly easy to setup the CAS on a cam pulley like someone on the club did in there KE20 with a turbo GSR motor, have a search for it.

A mate of mine with a Starion (has a VR4 narrowblock in it) was looking into a bellhousing adaptor to a W58, pretty sure he managed to un-cover some stuff, so it wouldn't be that unreasonable for you to put a T50 or W58 or something behind a Bitsamissing Mirage engine Edited January 7, 2009 by Hiro Protagonist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is the throttle body, exhaust etc. What are you after power, ecconmy???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ke20nut Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 power? so ur looking to fit an EVO motor race spec . hmmmm could go ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roo Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) why not just do a 4age? would be more power, same economy cost a shit load less, also will be able to get it legal without too much trouble Edited January 18, 2009 by Roo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KE354AGE Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) i love these sort of questions... just get the mirage and make a cardboard body kit for it so it looks like a 70. there is no good reason to do this conversion, it will cost around 3000 or more, that's assuming you already have the car and the motor, and you can do some of the work yourself, ie convert the cable clutch in the 70 to hydraulic, possibly cut the trans tunnel to fit the gearbox, shifter etc. it will be slower and harder to do than a 4AG, a little more economical.

KE354AGE Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Unless of course it's a Cyborg Mirage..... true, true. it doesn't sound like it though.... even if it was, there are sooo many engine/gearbox combos that would be better bang for buck to do, and beside that it would be so much screwing around.

johnny t Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 go an SR20DET or CA18DET! :jamie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styler Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 what do you want to achieve with the ke70 in the end? if you have a 96 mirage lying around and want to put the engine in the ke70 because it seems like a better motor your theory is good, but in reality its a small power gain, a shit load of modifying / research and would cost you from $2000 diy to $5000 workshop if its easy or $5000 diy to $10000 workshop if its not...

Falken_KE30 Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) 4G63 from a early evo would be handy as the Throttle Body will be facing the front when put in RWD mode. later 4g63 from Evo 4(i think) the motor was actually turned around... Was looking at this conversion into My L200 as it had a 4G63 SOHC.. I also seen that bellhousing to suit a W series box to a 4G motor, was Exxy though but would be worth it Also check this out, 4G93, not far off the 63 id pressume. http://www.rollaclub.com/board/?showtopic=20282 Also check this forum out, http://www.projectzerog.com/ Edited January 31, 2009 by Falken_KE30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
