4g63 fit 08 Lancer DE?

[Moody13265]

I have a 08 lancer de with the 4b11 and want to swap it for a 4g63 but have a few questions.
• will the 4g63 fit in my engine bay
• will the motor bolt up with my transmission
• what should i expect while installing said motor
• what is the best way to put the motor and tranny in

If this picture is like your car, it looks like A LOT OF WORK. On top of the mechanical engineering involved you also have to incorporate a computer to run the different engine. I can't tell which orientation the engine sits in the bay but if the pulleys are on the passenger side, it would be like trying to convert a 420a DSM over to a 4g63, very unpractical.

You’re asking the wrong forum these questions.

I’m curious on why. A car new enough to have 4b11, what benefits would you want to get from installing a 4g63? Seems like with all the complexities of the swap would need a huge advantage to justify the headaches. Why not start with a more project-inclined starting point….

Would be extremely complex and require a lot of fabrication know how. With all the aftermarket support for the 4b11 you’d have nothing to gain if you were capable aside from the cost that could go towards making the 4b11 shine.
