Can anyone comment as to whether or not I should attempt this, just want to get some feedback on your thoughts about this guys. Some say not to buy, others say buy and maintain properly.

I having mixed feelings about this. Saw a few posts tha3t highlighted the issues with this engine and it was like only one off when smeone said nothing wrong with the engine and to purchase.
I really wanted to convert to the 4g93t (CM5A), but i doubt i will be able to fet a front half with that engine.

last year it got the whole front cut for 22k with rear disc brakes........mileage was 22k too.
now when i go in the bamboo, they calling 25-28k. so it depends.
btw if u can get the 1.6 dohc mivec with 5wd gearbox take it that engines is one of the best small engines round but hard to find and maybe expensive but worth it

^ Cosign, the gsr 93t will have to do over electrical and mounts.
Gdi93t is easier but being gdi you're taking a chance, because previous maintenance will decide if you have a reliable engine or a set of headache.
The gsr is easier to mod, the gdi is harder because of the design, simply raising boost can cause problems.
The 4g92 mivec is an awesome NA engine.

^^^ Will the 4G92 be a direct bolt on? How easy/difficult is it to obtain it? Right now the 4g93T GDI is in the lead, but I still lots and lots more researching to do as well as saving. I like the fact that parts are widely available in the bamboo as stated by Raybic because it's a pain in d @$$ to get parts for my 4g18.

^ no th e92 will need some modification, the 93tgdi is the easier swap, but that engine is taking a chance, seen some that worked great and others as soon as installed was one issue after another.
Don't want to detract you from the gdi cause it is a great engine, just have someone knowledgeable inspect it before purchase. If you intend to do further mods later on or get more power out the engine the gdi is not the engine for you, look at the gsr for that.
Or if you come across one of this in the bamboo, V6 NA power

mixed feelings but the 4g93 works really well and with good maintenance lasts really long and performs good.

Guys I need your help. I currently have a 2001 EA7A GDI VRG Galant that comes with the 2.0 DOHC 4G94 Engine. I'm experiencing issues with it after it has faithfully served me and I'm looking for a replacing that will be bolt for bolt. i was thinking 4G93T or the normal 4G93. also there is the VRM alternative which is a non turbo v6 MIVEC that comes in the Galant and the FTO or I can simply go back with the less hassle option of a 4G94. can anyone help and advise me on whereabouts of the recommended Engine??????????

When it comes to Mitsubishi engines and wire harness there is no hassle
All 4G1x and 4G9x and 6A1x share same tranny bolt up all you need to do is plug in the correct tranny Ecu for your chosen tranny
If your engine is from same car like a V6 galant into a GDI galant the engine control harness will plug right into the cars main power harness and start up right away.
Only prob will be the gauge cluster won't be calibrated for V6

Now saw your reply man
I've got a VRG with 4G93 GDI. No problems with it, was just just considering possible options for upgrade.
