Possible yes....but why? Why not drop a 4g63 motor from a turbo eclipse or talon.

I think SCC puts it best. They're always saying something like you can do anything you want to your car, its just how much time and money are you willing to spend

For the older Mirages........
A 4g63 8valve or 12 valve FWD motor from a Galant will work.
The old Mirage (Lancer) came with a 4g63 Turbo in some countries.

For the newer ones.....
Build it like the evolution lancer.

I had a guy with a ford probe ask me once if he could put a b16 in his car.

Go with a 2 gen 4G63 it's the easiest swap. all the mounts will fit and there is no need to replace the cam angle or crank angle sensors not to mention the the EGR and Map sensor relocation needed when putting in a older first gen motor. If you're interested I know a guy who has one for sale.

a T3/T4 might make some torque but a Big 16 or a 18 is much more efficient with higher levels of boost and bar..
