Yeah they did, that's how I found out about this! Keep up the great work man we are all watching now!

 

well since everybody is watching now, if there are any suspension reps out there looking to sponsor me shoot me a PM!! lol

 

Haha

 

PROPS ON A GREAT BUILD!!! and is very very interesting! but i have one question.. would this build be possible for a 4g69? i have a 04 RA and just curious what i can do with my motor cause i dont want to waste my time on little mods when i can do something worth my time and money..sorry if the question seems noobish!

 

Reading material so you can see what you can do with what you have. He also has a phase 3 along with a lot of other decent threads you should check out.

short answer, yes.

4G69 versus 4G64 block differences (there aren't many):

• no water pump spacer needed if 4G69
• 4G63 and 4G69 deck heights are the same where 4G64 is higher
• coolant passages on the 4G69 are much larger (could be a negative depending on how aggressive you intend your build to be, pictures below)
• stock cranks are both 100mm, but weights are different (i think the 4G69 is actually a bit lighter). 4G64 has been used a lot more so is perhaps more 'tried and true', but the 4G69 stock crank has also handled up to 800hp without failing.

Is the 4G69 considered a semi closed deck due to the hose water passages ?

I have a 4B11T equivalent 2.0T and the matching 2.4ltr short block non-turbo.

I'm planning to start a 2.3ltr or maybe utilize the 2.4ltr block. IDK until I tear them down and start digging in.

But the specs sure do resemble the 4B11 crank specs. I would imagine it would be usable for this platform. It's just another generation but same methods apply.

Awesome build, thanks for posting the details!

 

Awesome thread man. I'm running a 2.4 in my evo and love it. If you haven't already figured out what to do with you water pump issue give english racing a call. They basically do a weld buildup on the water pump where the hole in the block would be then they mill the surface back down. That's the stock evo water pump also.

 

thanks! I haven't really done enough research on the 4b11t to know what frankenstein swaps will work, its like you said your gonna have to tear into em and see if they'll swap.
I know a bunch of guys have done 2.3/2.4 builds in evo X's but I'm not sure if they used a different block or just bored out and reinforced the stock block.

thanks man! I just decided to run the stock 4g64 water pump since I'm still utilizing the stock crank pulley. i may just find a nice lightweight crank pulley for an eclipse then I don't have to worry about swapping the water pump in the future.

 

I've done the kia dohc head swap on my 3G eclipse. Now I have so many choices for engine mods due to all the recent development of 63/64 hybrid engine blocks. Although, in my search for performance aftermarket parts I have not found any lightweight crank pulleys for the 3rd gen eclipse.
But I haven't looked in a while so i wouldn't be surprised if fluidamper came out with one.

 

Does the timing belt run off of the crank pulley? What's the difference between the 63 and 64 as far as that goes?

 

i found this pulley by super damper. its pretty pricey though..

Im not sure if they are the same or not, I'm still looking into that, I think that they might run different size accessory belts but again ill need to look into it more

 

small update..

its been a while but I've been working on a few small things. including catching up on bills. lol but Im just days away from firing up this beast so i figured i better post an update.

picked up a few parts that were a necessity, some new, some used from the local parts yard.






also started making a spark plug cover out of 1/4" thick full yellow kevlar. looks like its might come out pretty good when its all finished.







and now my favorite part of this update.......

just arrived in the mail yesterday and this baby weld nice! {thumb up}

Eastwood Mig 175 with aluminum spool gun. also got brand new auto tinting helmet, miller gloves, and c25 co2/argon cylinder. I cheated and bought my welding cart through eastwood as well since it was only an additional $30.





On another note, I started all the electrical on the lancer as well as the wire tucking. its fairly simple if you have patience and is going to come out super clean. hopefully cleaner than before {thumb up}



also ordered the evo camshaft reluctor(also known as camshaft position sensing cylinder)

Its really hard to track down but i managed it. so here is the Mitsubishi part number:

MD375814

 

Coming together nice, I'm thinking about selling my rx8 so I can start buying parts to swap into the lancer. I also recently bought a evo, so I'm wanting to put money into it too. Just be nice if I could win a large amount of money haha. Too many hobbies and projects, not enough income

 

I like where this is going...great read....and good luck. Can't wait to see your results
