2002 Mirage Coupe Swapped Evo 4g63t
 

Hey guys! I thought I'd throw my build on here to see what u guys think. It's a 2002 Mitsubishi Mirage LS Coupe. I've had the car for a couple years now but I finally decided to go ahead with the build. After I sold my Evo8, I decided to start my Mirage build. Since I had a bunch of parts collecting dust I figured why not. I scored on a mirage parts car that the previous owner had done a bunch of stuff done on. So I picked it up and salvage whatever I could.

I'm not done yet but I'm awfully close. A lot of sweat, blood, and tears.

Removing and replacing the stock Mirage trailing arms with 04-06 ralliart. Sadly I won't be running Brembos for the rears unless I get a custom bracket made.

Started getting the motor ready to drop in. Don't be confused, that was the g64 eclipse trans I was going to used to stay fwd instead I picked up the modded transfer case so I can utilize the Evo trans.

Re: 2002 Mirage Coupe Swapped Evo 4g63t
 

Thanks much appreciated

Re: 2002 Mirage Coupe Swapped Evo 4g63t
 

Always looking good

Re: 2002 Mirage Coupe Swapped Evo 4g63t
 

Thanks Mark!

Re: 2002 Mirage Coupe Swapped Evo 4g63t
 

Like myself some swapped CSMs.

Re: 2002 Mirage Coupe Swapped Evo 4g63t
 

Damn, that thing has got to fly. Very badass using the evo motor

Re: 2002 Mirage Coupe Swapped Evo 4g63t
 

I'm hoping it does lol. Thanks guys

Re: 2002 Mirage Coupe Swapped Evo 4g63t
 

You did that all in your driveway? Neighbors must love you. :D

Looks good, love these projects.

Re: 2002 Mirage Coupe Swapped Evo 4g63t
 

Lol. Very surprised I never had any problems. Nice elderly neighborhood too.

Thanks

Re: 2002 Mirage Coupe Swapped Evo 4g63t
 

Nice build! I'd consider an Adaptronic for your ECU. They make one for the Evo IV-VIII and the Mirage. I have one in my RX-7 and it's been great. That is a really nice build. Maybe you could have it ready for a spring cruise.

Re: 2002 Mirage Coupe Swapped Evo 4g63t
 

No need. My ecu is flashable so I'm going the ecuflash route like the Evos. Cheaper and should be good enough for my setup.

The cruise sounds fun but wont be sure til the car is running.

Re: 2002 Mirage Coupe Swapped Evo 4g63t
 

Awesome build! I was wondering about the transfer case until I scrolled down.

What are you doing for a harness?

Re: 2002 Mirage Coupe Swapped Evo 4g63t
 

Most of the plugs are plug and play. I only have to extend a few plugs and switch the crank sensor plug and injectors. Everything else is going to get deleted out.

Re: 2002 Mirage Coupe Swapped Evo 4g63t
 

Pushed it into the garage a couple weeks ago and started on the harness. Had to swap a few pins and extend some others. I figured I'd do a mild wire tuck since I had the wiring loom unwrapped.

Everything is plugged and rewrapped. I was able to relocate the fuse box in a nice place.

Eventually, I will be respaying the bay once I repaint the car.

Re: 2002 Mirage Coupe Swapped Evo 4g63t
 

Very cool! Thanks for sharing.

Re: 2002 Mirage Coupe Swapped Evo 4g63t
 

Loaded up a Rom file I've been working on for the evo 4g63t in the Mirage. Cranked it a couple of times without the coils plugged. Put the plugs in and BAM! IT LIVES!!!!!

Heres the first startup. Sorry if I was moving so much. It was just me so I had to make sure I wasn't leaking any fluids. Enjoy :thumbsup:
