New motor came in. Maybe an Evo III ?

[smx55]

Ok my engine came in today. It has the clyone intake on it. I took some pictures just don’t know how to post them. I was hoping it’s an Evo III……but you guys will be able to tell better than I can with motor it is. Can someone tell me on how to post them on this tread?

I was hoping it’s an Evo III

Any particular reason why?

Any particular reason why?

I was under the impression that is a little better engine, was I wrong?

 

[JusMX141]

Certain parts of the Evo III engine are better (manifolds, etc.), however Evolution III's didn't begin production until 1995, meaning they're all 7-bolts. There's no reason to replace a 7-bolt with another 7-bolt.

You're better off hoping it's a 6-bolt from a Galant VR4.

Not to burst your bubble, but this entire JDM thing is pretty much worthless for our cars. There may be a singular JDM part here or there that is better, but with the money spent on a gamble of an engine you'd be better off building your own here. EvoIII engines also would come with an EVOIII 16g, check the castings on the turbo.

Your motor was most likely out of a JDM galant RS, that motor has a 14b, the only thing you would benefit from would be the possibility of slightly larger injectors but that is doubtful as well

 

[CFTDSMMANIAC]

I would say the best thing about an EVO III engine would be the tranny, exhaust manifold, O2 housing, 16G turbo and Bigger injectors.

Absolutely. With the ridiculous amount of money spent on "JDM" engines (which are no better than any other stock 4G63) you could've built a 6-bolt with durable internals.

I would say the best thing about an EVO III engine would be the tranny, exhaust manifold, O2 housing, 16G turbo and Bigger injectors.

A few things to remember:

- Evo III exhaust manifold's are no different than a 2G manifold with the exception of a bigger collector (7cm2 to match the 16G versus 6cm2 to match the T25). Nothing a bit of time and a die grinder can't handle.
- Evo III 16G's are available anywhere.
- The "bigger injectors" are only 510cc. Any upgraded injectors you can buy for our cars are already bigger than 510cc, so they're not much of an upgrade.

Again, there's no reason to buy an Evo III engine based solely on the bolt-on parts.

With the money you would spend on a jdm motor you can build a 2.3l stroker so why do it?

Wrong.

You can get all that or better here in the US.
If you can get ahold of the Evo 1-3 Intake manifold, it is much better than a stock 7 bolt IM.

well if was made in japan or if it was made in normal, Illinois ether way you got a STOCK engine. so slap it in already and do some mods.

 

[smx55]

The more I think about it the more I regret buying this engine, but I really didn’t have much of a choice. My last motor crank walk on me and that was the second 7 bolt in this car. Figured last try 6 bolt. I took pictures just don’t know how to host them.

 

[Ravenous]

Don't regret it bud. It could just be a happy little accident ala Bob Ross. If it is a Galant motor then you'll have your 6 bolt. If it is an EVOIII then you'll have the bonus of a practically drop in motor with everything needed to run that 16g. Use it until it crankwalks or until it dies then upgrade it. While the 7-bolt is prone to crankwalking I believe that isn't always necessarily the case, but when some noobie's car dies they cry crankwalk when it could of been something else. (don't flame me I'm just saying that it "may" be misdiagnosed on occasion)

It's already been purchased, so lets stop telling him what he should of done and see what he can do once the pics are posted.

 

[JaxTalonTSi]

These arent Hondas. JDM really dosn't mean jack when the USDM and JDM stuff is almost identical. Aside from things like Cyclone/EvoIII intake manifolds, and a different sized turbos and injectors, their stuff is the same as ours. Mitsubishi is one of the few makes that didn't completely shaft it's US arm and actually let us get most of the good stuff.

Thanks.....its a 6 bolt I know that much for sure. I'll try to see if I get the pictures post

 

[pimpin81]

id be interested in seeing what this thing looks like

 

[smx55]

Here are the pic

 

[SvarO]

that engine is not from EVO 1-3, the evo doenst come with cyc intake and red calve cover and turbo to intercooler hoose is not like that.

the evo 3 engine come with better TB, intake, o2 housing, Compresion 9.0, oil cooler, all the emission things removed, 16G, shorter Gear ratios.

thats all.

 

[dsmsucks]

Thats a 6 bolt

Well I can't completely agree they did shaft us pretty good on the evo. Europe got the evo 6 as there first one. We had to wait still untill the 8 came out and even then we didn't even get everything that the jdm evo came with. Now that the evo X is here we are just now getting the technology that the previous evos had.

 

[kahl23]

Yeah but that wasn't entirely the point, there will always be different cars in different markets. The point was that unlike Honda the 4g63 that was available in the US versus the 4g63 that was available in Japan were close enough in performance that dropping in a stock JDM engine will give you a marginal increase in power for the price, whereas dropping in a JDM B18 in place of a USDM B18 is a huge upgrade for Hondas.

PS- Looks like a VR-4 engine

 

[kronikjg]

I agree. Looks Just like mine. And mine is from a galant.

 

[gsxeclipse97]

Also it looks like it came with a 14b not 16g

 

[smx55]

ok so what will I not be able to use from this motor and have to take from my old motor.....like the cylone intake wil that not work right? some people say yes and some say no. If its from a galant is there much of a diffrence from doing a 6 bolt swap?
