when I bought my car, it came with a different motor, intstead of the 1.5 my mechanic put in a 1.8 because the original engine was shot. Now I was told that the engine came from a 93 mirage, but someone told me the engine in my car looks like a 93 eclipse engine. I know that it's a 1.8L engine because the 1.5L spark plugs were to big, When I saw matched up spark plugs when I did my tune up, the 1.8 spark plugs matched up with the ones I took out of my engine. If needed I can post pics of the engine at a later date. Is it possible for an eclipse engine to be in a mirage?

yes it is possible to put an eclipse motor in the colt!!! A friend did that! He put the 4G63TColt with 4G63T (http://www.4G63T.de) engine into his Colt instad of his GTI (4G93 140hp) motor! with his new engine he has got nearly 300HP!!! but the eclipse was never build with a 1.8l engine! the smallest block was the 2000er as david said!
hey, I don't really understand all these 4g93 or 4g63t terms. I'm still a rookie mechanic so what do you mean?.?. I know it's an engine but how do you know how to read the terms.

i'm a rookie too... i'm a simple electrican no mechanic! but 4G63T means: 4= cylinder G= is the fuel (G=gasoline D=diesel fuel) and 63 is the Type of the motor and the T is for Turbo

Mitsu did put a 1.8L SOHC engine in the 89-94 Eclipse. It was the 4G37.
They also used a 2.0L DOHC engine with and with out turbo. It was the 4G63 and 4G63T.
The 93-02 Mirage 1.8L is a 4G93.
The 92-02 Mirage 1.5L is a 4G15.
I found out that it is a 4G15 out of a 93 Mirage put in my 93 colt
