wow, in a few years we may start seeing a few more JDM Evos running around

 

insane dedication keep it up

 

I've been waiting for this moment for a long time now.





Picking up a welder next week, should be on the road soon.

 

Nice work! I know a bunch of that stuff is hard to find


Please keep this updated!

 

Good job Brent!!! I'm trailing right behind you. Unfortunately I've got 2 vacations in the next month which sets me back a little bit lol.

Look for a Miller or Lincoln mig if you can. I've been using a Lincoln PowerMig 180C for a good while and it's never let me down. Decently priced too.

 

By the time I'm able to port this (currently) 12-year-old machine LEGALLY, I'll be damn-nnear middle-aged.

 

By the way, I should be able to get my Mirage this summer. Things will be looking good in terms of money; However, after four years of being eligible for one, I have yet to get my license.

 

sssoooooo happy to see the pan sitting in there i have to live vicariously through you, 3bar, and s.gasper since i keep picking up other projects instead of doing this, which is what i WANT to do...lol.... right now im working on a bugeye impreza/sti swap, and a 95 eclipse GSX... hopefully after that, ill do an evo 5

keep up the great work!

 

Lol! You seem to have the same problem I do. I've wanted to do this build for a loooonnnngggg time but kept picking up other projects. Finally decided to bite the bullet after I sold my evo8 and 2.5rsti.

 

lol...yeah, cant seem to pass up great deals when i see them.... and thats what im [slowly] building as well a RSTI was yours a GC8 or GD?

 

Same here. I get project ideas going and find good deals.

I had 2 gc8 2.5rsti's.

PM'd you a couple links to keep cluster down in Brent's thread.

 

As mentioned earlier in this forum, I'm getting my Mirage this summer.

I'm thinking about dropping an original JDM 4G61T engine in the Pseudo Evo IV, and tune it a little bit. The biggest reason why I want a 4G61T is due to saving gas, and it's much cheaper than any 4G63 or 4G63T (plus it looks cool).

Can I still convert the Mirage to All-Wheel-Drive with a 4G61 engine?

Here's a listing I'm currently looking at on eBay:

if you look closely, that motor IS from an all-wheel drive car... as it still has the transfercase bolted to it... so id think youd be just fine

 

Yep. I actually found out two nights ago. LOL

Is it possible to drop this, as well as the AWD/5-speed components in a later 1998-2001 Mirage without many problems, though? This engine looks too cool and well taken care of to let it pass by.

I started my own official thread here.

 

id imagine that would easily swap into an older mirage (or jdm evo 1-3). but if you notice the placement of the motor/trans, its the complete opposite of the evo 4-6, where the engine is on the right and yours is on the left...so there would be a ton of fabrication im sure, to get it to fit.. and end up costing you much more then just buying the proper 4g63 for that chassis

evo 1-3 (same as the motor your interested in buying, just a 1.6 instead of the 2.0))



evo 4-6
