I bought a evo 8 built block and the evo 8 or evo 9 water pump dont fit the block.. wtf is this. Neverseen this on any evo. I went to napa parts and they had to get a 03 mitsuboshi outlander water pump to fit on my built block.. anyone had this issue?

 

I believe they are used with the 2.4l block. What displacement engine do you have?

 

I believe that mt057 is correct. The 2.4 blocks don't use an evo pump. I think the block is actually like a 4g64 or whatever.

 

Its an built evo 8 block its still a 2.0 but still cant fit a evo 8 or 9 water pump, there is a hole on the block thats not covered on when i tried to reuse my evo 9 pump.. I found another guy that had the issue i will post his link up..

check out page 2 the guy that posted 2 of those pics i have the same problem my evo 9 water pump looks like his left one and the one that i got from the outlander is on the right. This is really weird. Does anyone else have this?

 

Get OEM.

OR

Either you dont have an evo block, or you have the wrong water pumps

Autozone/napa have eclipse/lancer parts listed for the evo.

 

its an evo block 100% sure the engine code is 4g63 its an built evo 8 block. just look at the link i just uploaded up there^^^^ its that right water pump that mine needs..

 

Maybe its a old for say dsm 4g63... lol

Ethir there pump design is wrong. Or you do not have an evo 4g63. The 4g64s have the same problem. If you wanna use a 8 pump on THAT block. Buy the adapter plate the 4g64 guys use

 

Youre positive the engine code is 4g63? Look at the spot kind of behind the power steering pump on the block. Wipe it off, its just below the freeze plug on far left side. Take a picture of the engine code so we can make sure it is a 4g63. Need to start there before people can start identifying issues and help.

Once that is done we can start looking at the parts these auto parts stores are giving customers and make sure we get the right part numbers. Only reason I say all this is due to the fact I am building a 2.1 destroker and I am going to use an outlander pump on my 4g64 because thata what works without having to use the spacers.

 

heres a link to a comparison water pump I did for my evo 8 motor. Yours should look like this.

That number is 4g63tj1652. It Is a built 2.0 block. Its not 2.4 or 2.3 the evo pumps do not fit they are too short theydo not cover up everything..

 

This is really wrong. I looked at my evo 9 block and the water pump is different and it does not have this extra hole for water that the evo 8 block does... have u guys looked at that link I posted if u havent look at it thats the same issue im having as the guy on page 2..

 

like i said, take the code to a dealership off your engine and see, you could have an evo 4-7 motor or something of that sort.

more than just an evo 8 or 9 that had a good ol 4g63, hell they could of even screwed ya and sent you a DSM block, who knows.
we need to find out whether you truly have a evo 8 4g63, or the parts being produced by that company are wrong.

 

That is a evo 8 block.. its the engine code that saids evo 8 block at the dealer. How come at the dealership they have 2 different types of water pumps one ending in 65 nd other in 67.. they are 250 bucks. I know this is s evo 8 block it might be a 2.4 L because it has Je pistons eagle rods eagle crankshaft. Maybe the previous owner didnt know what he was talking about since he told me he only knows it has je pistons. I know 100% its evo 8.

 

well if your that confident, it probably is an 8 block. i was just giving you ideas. they have a 9 water pump and a 8 water pump, only difference between them is where the alternator braket bolts too. them are probably the different pumps at the dealer
