i had an 05 evo 8 not the mr, and i wrecked her during the summer. im parting her out but i found an 05 evo 8 mr, but there seems to be a crack in the head i was planning to swap motors but i was wondering if the engine internals like the cyclinders and pistons are different, i tried to look up info on this but i couldn't find anything

 

The motors are the same. The MR is a trim level

 

Usdm EVO VIII motors are all the same internally

 

Hi there, was thread was the closet I could find to place my question. If there is a more accurate thread please indicate. Alright so here is the question the new Volts wagon tdi clean diesel engine it gets 40 some mpg, is there anyway one of these can be dropped in an evo?

Best Regards,

Jake

 

uhhh i think anything is possible with lots and lots of fabbing. stupid question though

 

Sell your Evo and buy the VW.

 

i can't stand how there is this idea that the MR is somehow different than the other evos. Engine-wise every evo 8 is exactly the same. every evo 9 is exactly the same. Transmissions are different, plus a bunch of cosmetic stuff. That's it. Engines will swap just fine. As for the guy wanting to swap the TDI engine or whatever... If you're worried about gas mileage you shouldnt even be thinking about an evo.

 

Yes. Yes there is. It actually does not take any custom fabrication whatsoever because mitsubishi and vw corrobarated on the development of the new tdi clean diesel engine and they made it specifically so it fits in the older model evos.

 

there completely the same lol theres nothing different except the 6 speed and interior and exterior looks

 

This^

 

this must be true because he said Volts Wagon... last I checked it was volkswagen but maybe Volts Wagon made one just for the evo


but seriously this swap is possible in Jeep wranglers... but thats totally different

 

where the F*$K did this question come from?



Yes its the same motor, just tranny diffrences. Just have a shop do it for you, since you don't seem very knowledgeable about the car. minus well do a water pump, oil pump and timing belt while your at it too. And some head studs.

 

Really?
If you want 40mpg buy the Volkswagen. No need to ruin a perfectly good Evo. It's not an economy car!

 

This cannot be done without a skyhook.

The Evo is an economy car!

 

Hmmm....the LANCER is an economy car? Haha
