Hey all,

I've been modding my dsm for quite a while now, and I've recently had nothing but problems with it. I was wondering if you guys could help me decide what I can and can't take with me to use on an evo. I also have some quesitons too.

1. 2g dsm and evo struts/springs compatable at all?
2. mitsu-style turbos work? Worth keeping or no?
3. Same alternator? ( I have a new galant alternator)
4. 1g throttle bodies, worth keeping?
5. Cams are the same? What about my BC valve springs, are they stiffer than OE evo springs?
6. Thermostat housing, FP intake pipe, or fuel rails are the same?
7. I have an apexi FMIC made for a skyline, will it fit on an evo?
8. I have an in-line and intank walbro, should I ditch the inline and get 2 intanks for a "double pumper" setup? Can you use the evap line on an evo for a fuel line?
9. Can I use my rods, 7 bolt crank, and pistons in an evo if I want to do a stroker down the road?

Here's a list of what I have and some pics of the business side of things. Any advice would be great to what I should keep for an evo for a 10sec. car. Thanks guys

1. No on the struts/springs
2. The Holset might fit, but you would need to get your hands on Buschur's old turbo kit's cast manifold or have one custom made.
3. Alternator? I don't know.
4. 1g TB; no.
5. cams; no. BC springs; yes (a little better then stock)
6. Thermostat housing; no. FP intake; maybe with some cutting and welding. Fuel rail; no.
7. Apexi IC, maybe with cutting and welding on the endtanks. Definately have to fab new piping.
8. Keep the fuel pump, but the rest of the stuff I don't know.
9. Rods and pistons are not worth keeping, but the 7 bolt crank fits.

All the other stuff;
I'd keep the RS-R muffler and weld up new exhaust piping, injectors, spark plugs, exhaust cut out (if your into that), wideband, boost gauge, oil guage,
MAP sensor and IAT sensor.

The rest of the stuff???

 

rods from a 7 bolt are the same ..as well as the pistons. 6 bolt rods also work and use a wider bearing. The only difference in the rods is evos/7 bolts use a 22mm wrist pin and 6 bolt dsm's use 21mm. obviously 6 bolt craNK IS DIFFERENT

 

Oh I also noticed that 7 bolt cam position sensors look to be the same. I will dbl check the part number but these are easy to break and cost 50 bux so i will fo rsure keep an eye out for them in the junk yard from now on.
