02 Mitsubishi Lancer Q......

fingpilot · 10-07-2009, 05:04 PM

It's waaay off topic, I know.

SonIL says timing belt broke. Is the 2.0 litre an interference engine? Can't seem to get a straight answer from the rice burner guys. They can tell me what PSI diff they are pulling on a turbo installed from a Kenworth, and how big a fart can will fit on it, but nothing real about a box stock engine.

It's 400 Miles away, and I may have to go change it. The 'while you're in there list' (very similar to my 911) includes the tensioner, water pump, and a guide.

TIA.....

I hate to admit knowing anything about those cars but I'm pretty sure I heard that they switched to a timing chain for the Evo 9 or 10 or something. So ya, the older ones are interference with polymer belts.

I am sure there are lancer forums that would be far more useful to you for this bro.

2002 2.0L DOHC (4G63) is an interference motor

Hes right. You know that the 4g63 is a really good motor to build off of. There are some crazy setups out there for that motor. The 4g63 is a really popular motor so there should be PLENTY of parts available.

I did actually register for the Mitsu forum. Can't post for several days cuz I'm new. What I was able to find out is that the belt change was relatively easy, that the dealers get $400-$700 for the basic job. Throw in a water pump and tensioner and it goes to a thou.

If the belt broke, who knows what clashed with what. I doubt the entire car is worth a thou. (I've seen it).

Which forum?? I use Evolutionm.net, which has a lot of good info if you use the search feature. I'm registered over there. I wanted some upgraded brakes for the dd.

I assure you that a Lancer Turbo is worth more than a thousand bucks.

An 02 Lancer is not a turbo..

m21sniper · 10-08-2009, 09:01 AM

Bah, who cares then!

I thought he was talking about an Evo.

Nope, just a standard Lancer. It was Mitsubishi-Forums.com

Kbb.com would give you a good idea of the actual value and answer your "is it worth it" question.
