Q: Hi I own a 2016 Mitsubishi Lancer ES, I would like to know if I can do an engine swap with an EVO engine
I bought a Lancer ES and it has a small engine. Not a lot of power I think I read it has 148 hp. I want to do an engine swap to get an Evo engine. Is possible to get a fully working Evo engine in my car?
My car has 35000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
Hi there. When it comes to completing an engine swap, there are so many additional changes you’d have to make in order for this to work. For starters, you’d have to replace the transmission, driveaxles, fuel system, cooling system, ignition and beyond. Can it be done - Yes. But it would cost a lot of money and take a lot of time.
