What necessary modifications would someone have to do in order to put in the 6A12 DOHC? And where can someone get one of those?

 

the one in yellow is the 6A12 2.0 mivec from the fto. good luck. the non-mivec 6A12 DOHC i believe is in the older galants.

EDIT: don't think the 6A12 is in the eclipse. the eclipse should either have the 2.4 4G64 or the 3.0 6G72. sorry bout that. the overseas galant have the 6A12's and some older US models.

 

I think you're right, those are eclipse engines, the yellow one being the V6

 

the 6a12 is the 2.0 v6 from the fto it comes in the non mivec vesion and the mivec

 

There is a motor as a 6g72 MIVEC. I have seen it on the net. It has white intake mani and its runner w/ a red MIVEC marking. I think it came froma PAjero Evo or something.

 

I really want to see an engine swap in a USDM Lancer, I just hope someone will pull it off. I have my doubts, but it would be cool to see done.

 

it's cheaper than a turbo i saw the 6a12 for about 2g's and rpw saws it requires little modifications to make it fit

 

why not the 6a13 - 2.5l, 6 banger? Should be more abundant than the 6a12.

Otherwise, you're going to search through aussies and malaysian sites.

 

i think the main thing holding back engine swaps (shops and rich people aside) paying 2-3k for the engine, than say 1-2k to get it put in...is as much as a turbo(much more if u do a lightweight custom turbo) and after its all said and done...net u an extra 20-30hp...but add more weight, defeating the extra HP, ur weight ratio would be off. and than all ur aftermarket parts have to come from austrailia...

i think thats the main reason otherwise u'd have much more 6a12's in USDM lancers....if the 6a12 was in the US to begin with and had an aftermarket.

theres my theory..but if u have lots of money or are a shop im sure its much more feasable.

 

There is one guy on the Mirage board who did the 2.4L swap from the 99+ Eclipses.... and of course that puts you into the 4G6x family.... the manifolds of the DSM guys bolt right up, not to mention throw an Evo head on that and that is a niec 2.4L DOHC turbo beast.

Just some food for thought.
