2g engine swap

[steve-o_95_GST]

i bought a 95 eclipse gst from someone who mis-shifted and threw a rod. i ve been looking at the evo 8 engine its basicly the same as the eclipse engine except its turned around 180. is there a way to transplant an evo 8 engine into my 95 eclipse?

thanks steve

Thread moved.

The evo 8 engine into a 2g would be more work than its worth. Just swap in a used 7 bolt or do a 6 bolt swap.

great idea but it wont work if you really want to try an evo swap , do it with the evo 3 engine , which by the way also comes with an evo 3 big 16g , so you save some money right their.

If you want some serious power go with a 2.1l (destrocted magnus engine) or a full seven bolt with the 2.3 l stroker kit. Again check out magnus.

good luck

Can't use an EVO8 motor. Period.

Well... you _can_ use an EVO8 motor... but that's like saying you want to use a classic SAAB 900 motor... There's a _lot_ of work involved, because it's not the same thing.

it would prolly be cheaper just to buy an evo 8 .

thanks for your input and to you revolution, im looking into the evo 3 engine if that doesnt turn much results ill go with the stroker kit on a remanufactured 7 bolt

thanks steve

If you want an Evo8 motor in an Eclipse - buy yourself a beater '00 Eclipse GS 5speed and just drop it in. Instant GS-T.

Whoops, wrong forum.
