Mitsubishi Lancer Engine ReplacementReconditioned & Used Prices Compared

Only engines officially fitted to your specific Lancer generation and variant are guaranteed compatible. The 4G63T (Evolution IV-IX) will not swap into a civilian 4G93 Lancer without major modification.

• Engine codes must match your chassis generation (CJ/CK, CS, or CY/CZ)
• ECU, wiring harness and mounts differ significantly between variants
• Use your registration to verify exact compatible engine codes instantly
• Our specialists confirm fitment before dispatching any replacement unit

Rebuilt Mitsubishi Lancer engine prices range from £750 for a basic 1.3L 4G13 to £8,200 for a high-spec Evolution X 4B11T, depending on engine code, variant and condition type selected.

• Civilian 1.5-1.8L petrol engines: £800-£2,600 rebuilt supply-only
• Evolution 4G63T engines: £2,800-£7,500 rebuilt supply-only
• Evolution X 4B11T engines: £3,500-£8,200 rebuilt supply-only
• Supply & fit labour adds £450-£1,200 depending on complexity

The 4G63T is robust when maintained but has two critical weaknesses: crankwalk on 7-bolt blocks (1999-2007) and balance shaft bearing failure, both potentially catastrophic if not addressed.

• Crankwalk risk highest on 7-bolt 4G63T engines (Evolution VII-IX)
• Regular oil changes with correct spec oil are critical for longevity
• Rebuilt units from our network include upgraded thrust bearings
• Expect 60k-100k mile service life with proper maintenance and driving

Timing chain stretch and tensioner wear on the 4B11/4B11T can cause rattling on cold start and, if ignored, may lead to timing jump and valve damage at 70k-110k miles.

• Listen for rattling noise on cold startup as early warning sign
• Chain replacement costs £1,100-£2,100 if caught before damage
• Rebuilt 4B11T engines include revised tensioner design to prevent recurrence
• Regular oil changes with correct viscosity extend chain life significantly

While mechanically possible for experienced DIYers, Lancer engine replacement requires specialist tools, ECU coding capability and post-installation testing that most home garages lack.

• Evolution turbo engines require ECU adaptation after installation
• Incorrect torque specs or timing can cause immediate catastrophic failure
• Our supply & fit option includes warranty-validating professional installation
• DIY installs may void the 12-month warranty on rebuilt engines

Yes, every rebuilt or reconditioned Mitsubishi Lancer engine supplied through EngineMarket includes a minimum 12-month unlimited mileage warranty, including high-performance Evolution units.

• Warranty covers parts and labour for manufacturing defects
• Evolution engines may qualify for extended warranty options from select specialists
• Keep service records and use correct oil spec to maintain warranty validity
• Warranty is transferable if you sell the vehicle within the coverage period

Used Lancer engines can offer excellent value if sourced from low-mileage, accident-damaged donors with full service history, but require careful vetting to avoid hidden issues.

• Always request compression test results and service history before purchase
• Civilian 4G9/4A9 engines under 80k miles offer best used-engine value
• Avoid used Evolution engines without documented maintenance and mileage
• Our network vets all donor vehicles; ask for history reports before committing

With proper maintenance, civilian 4G9/4A9 Lancer engines commonly reach 150k-200k miles, while Evolution 4G63T/4B11T units typically last 80k-120k miles before major service or replacement.

• Oil change intervals and correct oil spec are critical for longevity
• Timing component replacement at manufacturer intervals prevents catastrophic failure
• Evolution engines subjected to hard driving or tuning may require earlier replacement
• Rebuilt engines with upgraded components often exceed original service life

Reconditioned engines receive cleaning, inspection and replacement of obvious wear items, while rebuilt engines undergo comprehensive teardown with upgraded components targeting known failure points.

• Rebuilt engines include upgrades for model-specific weaknesses (e.g., crankwalk fix)
• Reconditioned units offer good value for low-stress civilian Lancer applications
• Both options include minimum 12-month warranty when sourced through our network
• Choose rebuilt for Evolution or high-mileage civilian engines; reconditioned for budget daily drivers
