hos yuh ask all the right questions... on the 17th meh bredrins gettin 4 4g92 in front cuts...

usually from singapore... they sellin for 7000 complete...

i would always say 4g15 tho cause it's a more readily available engine... seems as tho ever parts place in th bamboo has at least one on the ground now... so for parts... 4g15 is the thing i say cause it's more likely that they will b scrappin one of these as opposed to a hard to find 4g92...

i prefer th 4g92 on personal choice cause it's a 1.6L engine and tops off a lil while after the 4g15...

but engine for engine upto 187kmph to me they're both about the same... so i'd go with the 4g15 any day unless i can be promised parts for the preferred 4g92... just my $0.02c

^^^ Always best advice. Thanks man.

Thinking about finally doing the swap ending of May early June.
(Fingers crossed)

I just find $7000 hard to pay for a 1600 SOHC engine. Why can't we have Nissan prices??????LOL

I hear what you saying but the benefit with the 4g92 is the fuel system is not as tricky as the 4g15

Performance wise both are about the same.

Main difference is that 4G15 is MAP and 4g92 is MAS and has coil packs instead of distributor. Both have their advantages and disadvantages.

And parts for the 4g15 are pretty abundant in the bamboo now as said. so that may well be the determining factor. Also, some 4g13, 4g18 parts can work on the 4g15. 4G92 parts not as easy to find in the bamboo and coilpacks can be an expensive problem. some 4g91.93 parts can work and these engines are even rarer.

How so?

Hmmm looking like 4G15 DOHC yes.

Just came from d Bamboo dey. 4G15 DOHC and tiptronic tranny $6500

??

rych_bess2k6 · Postby **rych_bess2k6** » May 5th, 2007, 9:33 pm

and th 4g15 benefits greater from a cold air intake system

and boss mitsubishi equation... tiptronic tranny = problems

who say straight auto or manual...

Invecs II tranny is the standard CK lancer 4 speed tranny. I believe some 4G15 DOHS's come with this

rych_bess2k6, bess looking 4G15 there

4G15 DOHC and 4G92 SOHC put out almost the same at the fly and wheels

4G92 is a newer engine and has some newer technology in it like coilpacks

the 4G92 is MAF sensed whereas the 4g15 is MAP sensed

many ppl prefer the MAP sensed engines as they are more tunable

4G15 can take boost easier due to it's DOHC head a opposed to teh SOHC of teh 4g92

but do not underestimate the ability of boosted SOHC engines (Teknet)

Aye bess how much did your swap cost in total?

(1)Engine price
(2)Install including electricals
(3) Plugs,filters,oils,belts,etc.

Just checking.Might wanna borrow your mechanic for my install(My mechanic does be outta de country a lot.Drags and tuning up the islands)

PM me if you don't want that info out in the open

And Tuner Imports..how much mileage on that engine?

Thanks

Tuner Imports · Postby **Tuner Imports** » May 15th, 2007, 11:35 am

The engine was bought and installed with 47K on it late last year, now the customer needs more speed, he has added approx. 10K to the engine since....The odometer will give the wrong reading because of the engine change.....
