^ Which engine? Head and block may be the cheaper route.

it's the 2.0 GDI (i believe).

is head and block as effective for the long term as opposed to gettin a new engine all together???

4G94 then?

A lot of persons buy misc parts off the engines, especially throttle body & intake, High pressure pump etc, so usually for these engines you can get a good head and block for a reasonable price.
Just have a mechanic check the block before purchasing. Once everything else on your engine was working properly to start of with shouldn't be a problem.

Ok thanks man.

wud definitely look into the type of engine (4G94)... im still fairly clueless. never had mechanical problems on any of my vehicles.

i'm guessing my 1st stop wud be somewhere in the Bamboo to source that head and block!

Cheers

Well the i was gettin some overheating then was told by a mechanic the gasket blew.

subsequently got that changed and the head shaved. the engine however was releasing "back pressure" and smoking (if im using those terms correctly) and i was told it wasnt gonna last very long. also one of the cylinders was completely burnt out and the others was damaged so it was producing enough power to run the car properly.

as of yes/day it isnt moving period... jus revees. wen i place in drive or reverse it violently shakes the car and cut off.

mechanic came and check it and said the engine was "gone thru" and needed to be replaced.

Someone is suggesting i use... A 1.8 GDI (4G93) from a Lancer is a good economical substitute. No wiring necessary, uses same harness as the 4g94.

not sure if it is practical or makes sense for my model. Any advise?

^ From a Lancer?
If i remember correctly the lancer didn't come with the 1.8 gdi (4g93), however there is the turbo charged version 4g93t which is a nice swap for the galant.

Seems like something i need to look into.

Question... the SuperSaloon Galant... is the engines different from the VRG???

Man... i wish i knew more about these things so i wont have to be so inquistive BUT what does all that mean and whats the difference between the 4g63na and the 4g94

_________________

^ NA means natural aspiration, both engines are, the biggest difference is the 4g94 is gdi and incorporates a lot more technology than the 4g63 sohc found in the local galant.

^ When was the last time you did a complete service, proper cleaning of the throttle body and injectors (injectors have to be removed to clean properly). Are there any engine check lights on?
Do a diagnostic and check that all sensors are working, injectors firing properly and ensure you use the proper spark plugs.

btw is this the one parked up in front the business in enterprise?

When you say burning gas, can you be more specific? My iO had a problem with a fast idle, dirty injectors from a rusty gas tank and my throttle body needed to change! I did some more work with my brakes and rotors and also changed spark plugs. How many km's can you do to a full tank? Is your right foot heavy?

Hi, I am serious considering buying a 2006 roro cs2a lancer. Wanted to get some reviews from current owners on the cs2a. My other options are a tiida/wingroad, advan(if i get desperate), 2005/2006 corolla nza/fielder(might need a loan) or a local used corolla/nze. Most ppl said toyota>nissan>mistsu, but I really like lancers. Pros and cons will be very much appreciated. Thanks

p.s would really like to know how much km per tank(super/premium)

I use my mom cs3a, it's a very great car, body is very strong, and the suspensions do not disappoint.
However the parts are pricey even foreign used parts, and if it's the cvt version be sure to take care of it. About $6000 for foreign used cvt transmission if yours gets busted up and $6000 can get u a good nissan engine with transmission and wiring harness...full works

I decided to buy the Tiida instead due to reasonable price to maintain.
At the end of the day it's all up to YOU the buyer and how your budget runs.
The lancer is really a good car! But it's a headache when seeing high price for body parts.

quick question...

i recently bought the matte red ck4 with the 4g93t from vipervega airflow disconnected,he say it bad....
getting a couple problems
hearing like boost leaking....but the noise coming from the air filter...

this normal?

anyways,
goin to sell baby comin,

It should be as it was the Mitsubishi dealership i checked for the fluid. But since then i have had to change my transmission mount which made a big difference and stopped alot of the rattling. A garage told me that i also have to change the rear engine mount as it is going or gone by now since the rattling came back recently and that i should probably change the front mount as well. All this expense is making wonder if i should still keep the car. Funny thing is that my Mechanic to me that the transmission fluid was good and didn't need changing or topping up but that i had a minor leak, about a drop a week or so but i need to reseal the transmission pan. Can a bad engine mount or leak of that nature cause erratic shifting?

The bad engine mounts can feel like an erratic shifting as the tranny and engine will rock too much and cause a lurch.

Okay not bad!

Ivan, these CS models are fun to drive hoss, just a few complaints on the GDI's from Mitsubishi users, but it all comes down to how the driver takes care of it and what's the condition you are getting it in...Used!

Idlemind on the forum has a 1.8 CS...message him and he can tell you the do's and dont's. etc etc.

Need some advise on a potential purchase, Have a friend selling a ck2 with a 4g13 transmission slipping bad, body have work to do roof have some rust spots, needs shocks bushings and change axels and tires, interior in good condition. Is 17k a fair price to pay???

17k is too much. There are CK2's which have been properly maintained for 30k or less. You wont fix all those problems within a 13k budget.

What would have been a better price to pay if i were to purchase it

Hey I'm a new Mitsu driver and I just want to ask a couple questions
I have a CS3
Yesterday the transmission kept sticking when trying reverse, the car kept moving like it was on neutral.

Also what kind of care do I have to take of the vechile? I don't want any problems
