Engine Transplant
By Celine on 31st October, 2006
For the last one month, I’ve been chauffeuring my dearest to and from work because he sent his car for an engine transplant. From a perfectly functional Waja 1.8 engine to a Mitsubishi 1.8 GDI Turbo. He bought the half cut from a chop shop along Old Klang road. He tells me it was a good find because the mileage on the half cut is only 3000km. Boys and their expensive toys.
Some snapshots taken from his phone camera.
The workshop finally finished up today with the final task of wiring the power windows. So the car should be off to somewhere else by tomorrow to have its “new” Lancer dashboard rewrapped and restored. They’ve been able to start the engine since before Raya but we’ve not had the chance for a test drive.
sorry but i can’t see the pictures of the car on this comments page. anyway make sure that the workshop technician connects the engine to the gearbox ‘properly’ otherwise any ‘bent’ shaft would mean replacement before reaching the home.

Thanks cutebanana. Foreman has been taking the car for test runs. I think that part should be fine. The GDI was a direct fit into the Waja.

Thanks for every other informative website. Where else may just I get that kind of info written in such a perfect way? I have a challenge that I am simply now running on, and I’ve been at the look out for such information.
