the radiator should be the same...i was using an evo mishimoto and it fit just fine

 

finally found the evo 8 specs, now I know this project is going to work!!!

 

little update on my car so far.

I ordered a ton of parts got deals, and got some where I had to suck up the cost becuase people order too quickly

here is what I have and what im buying

Evo 8 radiator support - 1k "made a deal with a shop to do my custom work..."

Evo 8 hood latch - $38.00 ebay

Evo 8 hood - 150

Radiator - 57.98 ebay

ac condensor - 117.03 autopartswarehouse.com

Evo 8 fenders - 257.00 EVOM

Front bumper - sale pending 300-350

Evo 8 headlights with HID - $375.00 EVOM

Evo 8 headlight wire connectors - 100 "debating if I need these since it comes with the ballast harness...

Estimated total spending - 2445.01

insurance check - 1800.00

left to spend - 645.01

so if the bumper does not come thru I will just get the hood and drive around without a bumper just to get me going.

Does anyone know if the evo 8 crash beam work with my conversion? Reason why is because I saw that Turbotime had to get a custom front for his so im not sure

 

working on the bumper for you and subscribed build looks pretty cool

 

Here's a little update for you guys, so I almost have all my parts to get it running, I have a black hood which is no bueno so I have to either get it painted or sell it and find me a hood that matches, all my other parts such as fenders and front 8 bumper are silver so I saved a ton of money on paint. The car will be done next week probably thursday and ready to drive Friday. So right now parts are getting delivered and everything should be here by the time the car is finished. Then I will post a how to so if Y'all ever decide to do this the info will be available. So looks like I will be the first completed lancer evo 8 conversion with a turbo on it.

and i remember there was a guy in japan way back that did it also with a 8 front
and turbotime did finish the exterior part of it just not the engine and drivetrain part yet

 

I read his thread already but I meant first as with the evo 8 conversion with a turbo... not without

he didnt have a turbo unless he added on later which I have no clue on becuase he never updated his thread

 

it wasnt a front end conversion, but he swapped an evo motor into his oz

 

so I am assuming I am the second person with a 4G94 motor turbocharged with an evo 8 front end conversion...

I still have the title for running the first lancer on wrx 880cc injectors

 

oh i thought you were doing the motor swap too

 

Radiators mount up the same so you can save on that . I have been running an Oem Evo radiator for a while now !
