lol where do you reckon this thread will go hahaI8A4RE wrote:Well lets see where this thread goes lol
My opinion is 4g63 and the only reason i base that is the amount of aftermarket suppport for the 4g series engine compared to the 6a13. I also believe it "MAY" be an easier conversion due to the lack of space with the 6a13 but thats just an educated guess. Both will provide challengers im sure.
ok yeah i had a look at it. thanks for the infoyano28 wrote:There's a guy selling an fto with an evo7 4g63. Perhaps he might help you. The engine transplant has been done before a fair few times but I don't think any of them are active members. I know for a fact there's a green one floating around as well but have never been able to see more details.
p.s. the evo fto is in the for sales section, just look around
It's not so much how much it costs to put the engine in, it's more to do with the cost of the front cut. The FQ Evo 8 is the ducks nuts of that model isn't it? The 400 hp one if I am not mistaken?FTO_GPvR wrote:lol i dunno it depends on how much its going to cost to put the 4G63 FQ engine in? how much do you people reckon it would cost all up? give me the figures lolFTEvolution wrote:Got a big account balance? The FQ, would make one hell of a weapon
If not, the 6A13 (tried and tested)
what about the EVO 8 FQ400 would it fit into a FTO?I8A4RE wrote:Yeah the FQ400 has est. 404hp (302kw)
The FQ360 was then released which had less hp (354hp/264kw) but 11nm more of torque @3500rpm. But thats all uk specs.
As an evo conversion i would be looking at evo 5 or 6, way cheaper and very reliable.
Evo 1-3 WONT FIT
Evo 4 Suffers from crank walk (i wouldnt touch one if you paid me, just do a google on it)
Evo 5 Great
Evo 6 Perfect

Unless you have sourced one very cheap (which I would be very wary of) in isn't going to be a cheap item to acquire...

Absolutly, problem is very very expensive but hey if you know where to get one cheap or you just dont mind paying that much, then go for it.FTO_GPvR wrote:what about the EVO 8 FQ400 would it fit into a FTO?I8A4RE wrote:Yeah the FQ400 has est. 404hp (302kw)

ok yeah it does cost a lot of cash. theres only 2 ways i can think of getting a FQ400 engine one way is to find one halfcut or the other way is to buy the car but thats gonna cost heaps and then sell the other parts like the body and stuff. im not saying im going to do this conversion but im just thinking about it. if i cant find a halfcut the other way is to get a evo 6 like u said or just buy the evo8 FQ400. and also if i decide to do the FQ conversion it wont be till the future not straight away maybe in 6-7years time or under lol but who knows maybe i might win the lotto haha and also give uze all a fair share of money to hahaI8A4RE wrote:Absolutly, problem is very very expensive but hey if you know where to get one cheap or you just dont mind paying that much, then go for it.FTO_GPvR wrote:what about the EVO 8 FQ400 would it fit into a FTO?I8A4RE wrote:Yeah the FQ400 has est. 404hp (302kw)

Mate, love the FTO as much as I do. But if you were to buy the FQ400 just to transplant the driveline into an FTO, I would bitch slap you in an instant if I ever met youFTO_GPvR wrote:ok yeah it does cost a lot of cash. theres only 2 ways i can think of getting a FQ400 engine one way is to find one halfcut or the other way is to buy the car but thats gonna cost heaps and then sell the other parts like the body and stuff. im not saying im going to do this conversion but im just thinking about it. if i cant find a halfcut the other way is to get a evo 6 like you said or just buy the evo8 FQ400. and also if i decide to do the FQ conversion it wont be till the future not straight away maybe in 6-7years time or under lol but who knows maybe i might win the lotto haha and also give uze all a fair share of money to hahaI8A4RE wrote:Absolutly, problem is very very expensive but hey if you know where to get one cheap or you just dont mind paying that much, then go for it.FTO_GPvR wrote:what about the EVO 8 FQ400 would it fit into a FTO?I8A4RE wrote:Yeah the FQ400 has est. 404hp (302kw)

lol dont bitch slap me hahahaha nah i see your point of view which is true btw. i said i was thinking about it i didnt say i was going to do it for 100% and oh and i just was going to do a engine conversion not make it a AWD btw. hmm i think ill go with the evo6 conversion not because your saying to go with it but what the club and u r saying would cost lot less and it would be easier to locate a evo6 engine i wont have the really hard trouble in trying to find a evo8 FQ. yeah the FQ400 is a fantastic car its awesome and its perfect from how it came out of the factory. i wont be doing it to such a rare car, only about 100 were built im pretty sure.FTEvolution wrote:Mate, love the FTO as much as I do.

(no offense, do what you want of course, but I think this isn't a good idea)
If you can find a half cut or a whole wreck then game on, just don't do it to a mint one!
The FQ400 is arguably the best car that has been sanctioned for realease by Mitsubishi (as in modified before sale) in the world. The dynamics, the suspension, the drivetrain... everything is perfect.
You would never come close to that in an FTO, neither would you ever increase the value of the FTO by doing it. They are a rare car, if you can find and import one, keep it standard and mint. Will be a collectors item one day!
Also, to finish off, for about the price of the FQ half cut alone (if you can fine one) you could have an Evo 6 engine with mods for 300+ wkw
IMO, the only way to do an Evo conversion (actually, Makkinen (sp?) 6.5 engine and drivetrain) <drooooool>
