well as the title says what all is needed to put a 9 engine into an 8? any information given is very much appreciated

 

Sell your car and buy a 9.

It would probally be cheaper that way...

 

Think i agree with you

 

can i please get technical advice

 

my guess the engine, trans, transer case, all wiring, some interior switches, ecu.

what the other guy said buy a IX

 

put a 9 turbo on your 8. that's the easiest.

 

i think u need a bunch of stuff for EVO9 head over to evo8, frankly if i had an 8 i wouldnt care....

 

i would but i grenaded my 8 eng

 

so build your engine and it will be just as good as a IX. this thread is stupid. close it.

 

whole engine, drive train, interior swichs, ecu, all wiring, ACD system, a **** load. if you grenaded your 8, sell the shell. and buy a used ix would be easiest

 

elvis whats up

 

I think wiring harness should be the same except the ECU? I would think that all you need is just the motor and tranny. I could very much be wrong. Just give some thought. GL with the swap

 

Agreed. You could re-build your engine much cheaper than converting your cars engine to a EVO9. Plus you'll make more power by re-building it.

 

your wrong they are different. alot of different things in the IX then in the VIII like ACD MIVEC many many different options and accessories.

come on people this is common sense stuff here. its like the old DSM's. every non turbo owner and there mother asked if you coukd take out the 420a and put in the 4g63. its just not worth it.

GO BUY A IX, or in your case rebuild what you have and you will put out lots more power then a IX.

CLOSE IT.

 

rebuilding will prolly be cheaper than buying all the ix stuff
