ok i read on the board somewhere that a evo motor will swap diectly into the RA but i had a few questions before i thought about doing this. what year evo motor will i have to buy and does the ecu need to be changed also will the injectors need to be swaped too. and yes i know if i swap ill have no more mivec but ill have dohc and a turbo for the price of the rrm turbo. and ill have way more options on upgrades too. please guys help me out here.

 

Evo 3-4?

 

what do you mean evo 3-4 thats what im asking, which year i need to get the engine from will a 2g eclipse work or a old talon or does it have to be a evo 8.

 

Well I meant engine from 1995-1996 Evo.

I don't want to be mean, but you're just going to waste alot of money. This another member Illumniti who is doing evo motor swap on his Lancer had already spend around 5g and he's not even finish yet.

Well, it's your project , so good luck.

 

ok so a 95-96 evo motor works, as far as the money this isnt something that im going to do within a year i plan on buying the motor and building it form the bottom to the top. next question where the hell can you get a 95-96 evo engine from

 

That's the hardest part of the project.

Well doesn't have to an evo engine. I think Mivec DOHC V6 from FTO will fit (not sure though) But you will have a hard time finding those engines because we don't have them here.

 

will a 1g or 2g eclipse work

 

Here is an Evo V engine I found from eBay. I guess this engine will fit, but you wil have to do alot of custom fibricating and especially, you will have to deal with the awd tranny.

another one....cmon

 

I wouldn't call it a direct swap. You will need to change motor mounts, custome build a bell housing, re-wire everything, and the list goes on. I would evaluate the reasons why you would want to do this. If speed is your goal it might be cheeper to buy a used evo then to buy a ralliart and do the swap.

 

Here's the cheapest place I've found by far for any jdm engine/front cut cars.

I found them back when I was shopping for my Laser's engine and remembered them again for my Spitfire from hell project (RB20 in a 67 spit Mk2). The spit project is getting more and more expensive... New frame, modifications out the tailpipe to the body and floorpan.... Look on ANYONE'S face getting blasted by a sub-ton vehicle with a distinct "Pssh" sound? About 8-9 grand. Yet still priceless.....

 

That 4g63 engine will be really hard to fit since it's facing diff. way. Well who knows..

 

Lucky, If you want to be turbo... It'd be MUCH cheaper to buy a kit... Or even make your own kit for the MIVEC engine... We've got a GREAT platform in the Ralliart...

But if you're doing it because you want to be able to claim an "EVO" engine swap... then you're just going to have to be ready to shell out lots of cash and be ready to not drive the RA for a long time...!!!

 

Just buy or make a custom turbo kit. I don't think it's worth it if you just want a fast car. If you want an Evo, just get a used one. If you must do a conversion, maybe a Mirage would be a better starting point?

 

yeah, just turbo the ralliart. 4300 will get u the RRM kit, and then you'll have mivec and turbo. To swap a motor in, might sound cheaper at first, but it gets more complicated and expensive as you go along. Whats wrong with just turboing the 4g69? It's one tough *** motor
