4g61t.org

After nearly a year of checking out all the builds on here i finally started my own

On the 26th of April i brought my baby home, a 1994 CC4A 4WD Mirage hatch. Needs a bit of love, but im prepared to give her the care she needs haha. My plans are to drop in a 4g61t, get her running and use as my daily drive. While its going, i plan to sell my Mitsubishi Galant and build up a forged VR4 Evo 0 4g63t engine, this may take a few years tho ( im a student )

6months ago i came across two 4g61t engines that i couldnt pass up, using these two i have taken parts from each (4g67 head, mounts, cams etc) to slowly build up one engine. All that this now needs is a head gasket, and oil pickup line gasket and shes ready to bolt in



Like snowdevl suggested, i have an evo 2 front bumper, side skirts will be going on later.



Showing rear, boot has been removed to clean and reattach top wing.



Interior stripped out completely, had water issues haha.




Dash. Not keeping the momo wheel, previous owner wants it, but il be putting an evo 3 wheel on as soon as it arrives in the post ( the thing on the floor is Damp Rid, just trying to get rid of any excess moisture before i put the carpet back in)



Engine bay, need to get hold of a gearbox and transfer box. also front drive shafts, a few engine mounts and cross member.



Have removed rear window wiper, going to fiberglass the hole where it was in the near future.



Evo 4 tdo5h, hopefully going to build a custom mani to support this, and reverse direction of the cold side (hits alternator)



4WD



Adjustable suspension unsure of brand at this stage




Will get better pics once i can get it out of the garage, its rather small and cramped so taking pictures is quite hard, and the fact its on a cellphone doesnt help.

Will post updates as they come

Cheers

Small update, picked up a new head gasket (engine 99% together now woo!) , tdo4 turbo (just to run in ) rear tail, and a few other bits and pieces. Main concern at the moment is getting the gearbox and engine mounts.

If im going full RWD will i actually need the front drive shafts, etc? i dont have them and they will cost a fortune :/ anyone know?

more pics when more visual updates come along haha

Take a picture of the Libero ECU and find a FSM or wiring diagram for it. Some wire swapping may be necessary to make it work. Or it may not work at all. There is a 4g61t ECU for sale in the Classifieds right now for cheap...

Have decided i will run a vr4 ecu and loom, if for some miraculous reason i get enough money to run a Link ecu, power squirt etc then il go by those means. Few small updates, engine is mostly together, just a matter of getting the exhaust and intake gaskets and studs, just havent had time to get them. Managed to get a 4WD gearbox shipped to me for NZ $210, was a bit messsy but some degreaser sorted that out

Now all that i need to get the motor and box put in is some engine mounts and crossmember etc.

Also this may sound a stupid question, but if i was wanting to go full RWD, is it ok to just leave the front axles out of the gearbox?

No, you'll destroy the VCU at the least.

cheers mate, is there a simple way to go to RWD or is it quite a tedious task?

If you want to go RWD have some custom mounts made up and read about the trannys you can use here.

Many RWD Swaps.

For my next swap I want to do RWD Auto with a GM transmission with adapter plate. The car will be 1978 Lancer.

okay ive hit a snag... my 4g61t flywheel/pressure plate wont fit inside my 4WD gearbox.

I have no idea whats wrong, as i googled the code stamped on the box ( C11AQL ) and by rights this should be a 61t 4WD gearbox

What are my options here, as im thinking i will need a gearbox with a bigger bell housing but id love a better and cheaper solution

You might be able to use a 4WD clutch/flywheel assembly. The flywheels are stepped on a 4WD, so that might make it fit inside your gearbox.

Cheers Tonus, i found the FWD flywheels are much larger than the 4WD, at least i didnt go out and buy another gearbox in my blind fury.

Anyway small updates:
picked up a complete engine loom with evo afm plug for $20 nz!! the guy also gave me all the wiring from the dash forward with the loom, so i got a great bargain!
got a vr4 ecu, non eprom though which is a downer but got that for $50
managed to score some coilpacks,injectors, fuel pump and a heap of other 4g61tparts for $20 off trademe, helluva site

installed ecu and loom, waiting on engine mounts and cross member to get the engine in to see if the beast will actually go :O
fingers crossed that this will happen within the next 2months

Holy shit, didn't realize how long it had been since I updated.

Have scraped the 61t idea as have had issues with matching parts (require evo 1-3/gsr gearbox and seemed easier to go with one of those engines)

Anyway, long story short:

Started prepping car for panel and paint a long time ago, but lost all motivation, almost sold it a few times but something made me hold on.

A friend of mine had a 4g93t engine in his shed, had been sitting for a year after a blown head gasket (removed engine from car a few days after it blew to save engine, drained oil/anti freeze etc and found had not penetrated into cylinders)
He offered it to me blindingly cheap, so I brought it without hesitation.

Turns out it has adjustable cam gears, I thought this was a bonus.
On removing the head, I found it has forged internal. I may as well have messed my pants.

So I cleaned the cylinders, removed gasket residue and got her all prepped for triple layer metal head gasket and titanium head studs.

VERY EXCITED!!!













Project now back on track, although priority now is evo or GSR gearbox

Will update

bro you got any 4g61 parts left im from clive and wanting turb my 4g67, and there 6 bolt flywheels right? i had a vr4 motor mated up to a f5m22 fwd gearbox, flywheel wouldnt fit in bellhousing so i bought the flywheel pressure plate and clutch and realease bearing off a mirage twin cam at pick a part, much smaller clutch but it was a 3 puk so didnt slip at all just roasted the front tyres, but the 93'll be the easier way to go for that shape mivec cause im sure you wouldve had a nightmare getting the 4g61 to mount in, causve mounts being on block were as the 93's mounts are on the gearbox i believe, anyway original question, any 4g61t parts????
