i was looking to put some evo viii pistons on my 2g 4g63 will it fit? I know ppl have put them on the 1g 4g63 but will it fit on the 2g 4g63? and i have a new set of piston rings for the 2g 4g63 will it fit on the evo viii pistons? I have a 1996 rvr turbo.

thanks

It shouldn't be a problem, but why not just buy some aftermarket pistons?

 

i do not have the money to buy aftermarket pistons. and i see some evo viii pistons and rod for $100.00 us aftermarket are about 400. break all 4 of the 2g pistons i had in it

thanks for you quick reply

 

I run them in my evo1 that is using a 2g block. The 2g rings wont work. The cutouts for valves will be reversed on the pistons. I didnt worry about it and run them that way.

 

Berkey,

Don't mess around with the internals. If you are that deep into it then I would recommend to get a set of aftermarket pistons. $300 or $400 difference now will be a few grand later if you do the shortcut.

Don't rush it, put the right stuff whenever you have the money and you will never look back.

I am telling you this because I broke a few 4G63 engines in the mid 90's and I had to replace new pistons, rods and stuff like that.

+1. When building a bottom end, try to build it once!

 

It depends on your HP goals. As long as you are stock or near stock, and keep within the stock redline, the Evo pistons will do you just fine and save you money, if that is what you need. I'd be more worried about the 2G rods if you were building a higher HP motor, as they were quite weak from the get go.

As 94AWDCoupe told you, the 2g ring pack won't work. The ring lands in the Evo pistons are different width and spacing. You'll have to buy Evo rings to fit them. They should be the same pin size as the 2G rods, though, so you'll not have to machine the rods like you would a set of 1G rods.

 

thanks for you help. i will put a hold on the rvr for now and when i have the money i will go an buy me some 2g aftermarket pistons. do it right or do it twice.

 

Aww dsm owners are so cheap. I was at the shop a few times when guys would come to buy use parts. Head gas. (used) by the way, bov's, used pistons, clutch, washers you name it they where buying. And they where shopping around for prices to. This one guy said damn thats cheap the junk yard wasted 3x times that im coming here for all my used parts now fu** yea. I just ROLOF.

 

it is not that i am cheap look at my location i live in Dominica W.I.

pistons $400. us
shipping to Miami FL..$50.00
shipping to Dominica from Miami FL $75.00
customs Duty 45% of pistons and shipping.. 400 +50+75= $525.00us +45%= $761.25us

$1.00 U.S =$2.7169 E.C

$761.25 us = $2068.24 E.C

monthly pay = 1800.00 E.C

E.C = eastern caribbean

HAHAHAHAHA thats funny that you say DSM'ers are cheap

Its no joke, they are... when they walk there *** cheeks sqeek.

 

What do you do about the pin offset being on the wrong side when using EVO pistons in a 2g 4g63?

 

i agree with most. if youre gonna build it do it right the first time cuz if something ever happened it would cost you alot more $$$ to replace an engine than it would to have just bought aftermarket pistons made for it the first time.

 

it not the same?? not all 4g63 motors turn clockwise??
