Hey guys,

I have an Evo 8, I am about to purchase a built Evo 9 shortblock, will i have any problems bolting it up to my stock Evo 8 head and need anything for the Evo 9 shortblock to work on my head 8 or Evo 8 car at that?

 

anyone

 

you have to plug the mivec oil feed location up thats it.

 

no, u need to get an adapter so you can install your oil psi sensor where the mivec line goes.

 

were do i buy that adapter piece?

 

Anyone?

Read that thread. Pay attention to the headgasket too. When mix-matching evo 8/9 block/head you match the headgasket to the head I think. I can't remember.

Check out this page too. This is matching a 9 head to a 4g64 block, but still might be good info

but yea short answer you can plug that hole or use it for oil press. sensor

 

if you want it easy just go to ams and order the part there.

 

The AMS adapter is $40. You can buy one on eBay for $7. Just search "M12x1.25>1/8 npt" to find it.
