My boyfriend is a member of this site, he begged me to get an account. So here I am. Well, now I am into cars. Several years ago I used to street drag 1/8 mile in a 95 Hyundai Scoupe. It did pretty well. Now I want to make my current car go fast so I can shock everyone at the strip. I now have a 92 Mits Mirage. Noone would expect it to go fast so I want to surprise all the mustangs and cavys at the track. Anyone know of some options to help me? It is an Automatic 4dr. Thanks for any help.

swap in a 4g63 turbo motor

does it have to be from the same year car or will any 4g63 turbo work? I dont know much about engines...the last car i had my cousin did the upkeep

i cant come up with anything better than that ^^

The current issue (Nov.) of Modified magazine has a Mirage that has a complete AWD Evo (4G63) drivetrain swapped in. He had to basically make his own suspension, but it gives you an idea of what can be done.

here's a suggestion.

get a hayne's manual for your car, and learn the basics...then start worrying about modifying it.

you know, i love when people like to criticize others about their behavior,
but turn around and do the same freaking thing months later...

i honestly belive the 4g63t motor was one of the best engineered motors of all time....

after seeing my buddies talon built with junkyard parts run consistant 12's on wallmart special tires while smoking like a mosquito truck.. i was convinced

Mirage is built on the same chasis as the Evo III and IV in Japan.

Heres a guy I know....his car *was* sweet as hell. He's got a new one in the works....lilevo2.
He has all the swap info and instructions on his site.

Thanks....my boyfriend is gonna look into the suspension part.

Thank you. I will look at those links. So far everyone has the same 4g63 turbo idea. Thanks again.

Anybody got any other ideas about the mirage? Please let me know. Any help would be great. Other then the engine what else will I need to do?

Transmission, I have a friend doing the entire swap. He bought an MIVEC or whatever Evo VII motor offline. Doing full body work, right hand drive conversion, AWD, suspension the whole 9 yards. He's keeping it top secret but when he deployed to the desert the guys house he was storing it at moved and I had to go move it to a storage unit for him. Its a mess but damn that engine is sweet looking. Sitting inside of a mirage engine bay is just nuts.
