i know not many user out there will go along with this kinda conversion.. but to make story short..this is all iv got..
one empty 89 Mirage engine bay.. and one 4G63T from lancer evo1 RS cones with W5M332-WQWE transmission lying arounf..
(all wires,AFM & ECU included)

the hard part is i have no idea what mounts to use or do i have to custom made one ..?
the tranny has been 'locked' to run on 2WD..

any info or tips is highly appreciated...

actually the car came with this engine.. but it doesnt feel right.. very sloppy work.. and DANGEROUS too...when hard pull on a straight line.. it moves to the right .. (or left) forgot...
jezzz....
 
Very normal to torque steer. Best solution is LSD but I heard it doesn't do to well in corners for FWD. I know custom driveshaft can fix this. I quite enjoy the pulling, scares the racer next to you lol.

Original mounts should work fine. The might just need replacing, you can either get stock or aftermarket ones.

I don't remember gearbox numbers but I've got a jap vr4 gearbox locked to 2wd.
 
You can use the mount's of a C53A or C58A Mirage/Colt.
They have 4G6X engines. The mounting points are the same for the 4G61, 4G67 and 4G63 engines.

What engine did your car have when it came out of the factory? If it's a 4G61 it already had the proper mounts.
Perhaps a bit stiffer bushings might help a bit.
 
Brown, are your mounts attached at the engine block or the transmission case for the front mount?

Sadly, he's showed us a picture of the radiator support all torn up from the first set of mounts being ill-placed and designed/followed-through.

Hoping to see this car back in running order!

im pretty sure the last owner got the engine from a front cut evo1 rs.. everything is virgin stock
 
the mounts are very different from the original 4g61 setup, the evo engines mount off of the gear box for a start. and the passenger side mount is completely diff. you can custom make them to fit, the rear mount can isnt to hard, if you get the stock one off of a 4g61 that will bolt on. the gearbox one should be fair straight forward. the front again custom. the pass side one, i have modded the factory engine bracket behind the timing belt, to make the stock 4g61 mount fit.
