Has the Evo's engine ever been swapped into a ralliart and if so what were the complications if any?

 

More complex and money consuming than it would be to just buy an Evo. You would need literally everything to make this work. Parts and labor would total more than it would be worth IMO.

 

you woudl need a whole front clip...the subframe on the RA is completley different. Cheaper to just turbo the RA, although your traction is limited(not being AWD), but it would be fun to smoke the SRT4 guys.

 

I think is much easier to turbocharge a 2004 AWD Outlander , you know they come with the Mivec engine too.

 

"...what were the complications if any?..."

Wow. What possible complications COULD their be....? It's as easy as swapping that Hemi into my lawn mower! :|

 

no on most cars swaps are easy take for example SL to VR4 swap on the 3000 or maybe any honda swap or a dsm swap not really hard you dont have to be a smart ***

 

why would you do it ... hes not being a smart ***...i was waiting for this thread to come in the RA forums......you already have a good motor...why not just boost it...even if you do swap in the evo motor you still have to cut the driveline and it will still be FWD!!!...swaps are never that easy...until someone tries it....so go ahead and swap it in and see how easy it will be

 

i dont see much gain from this swap. just turbo the 2.4L. you have more displacement and the mivec. If you can do a awd conversion (looks like that will be VERY hard), you would be better off. with awd fixing the traction issues (or just RRM's LSD for a quick fix) and 300-400whp after a well tuned turbo, you would prob be in the same budge /w as the evo swap with more gain.

 

as anyone actually tried to swap on any of the cars listed for themself or seen somebody at least tried, cause all i read is it cost too much or just it can't be done or buy a evo. i can put four hamster, some tape and bam i got an engine swap in my lancer and it will only cost five dollors......

 

Too bad the outlander is an ugly SUV/CAR halfbreed that would handle like crap.

 

yea i dont know much about this platform i know a fair amount about the evo though i was asking for a friend that was interested i personally own a 3000GT

 

anything is possible with the right combonation of $$$$, talent, & Brains
