evo 8 swap

[400whptsi]

can it be done in my 95 tsi? and if it can how hard

It can be done with the right amount of modifications and money. It would really be a waste of time and money to do so for the minimal amount of power you'll gain. For the money you would spend on the swap you could build your TSI to eat Evo's all day long.

It can be done. In fact if you have about 20,000$ to blow bring it down here to AL and I will do the swap for you.

I would just buy an evo for that ^

Anything can be done with the right amount of money and time, but not worth it in all honesty.

Why would you swap in a block with the same displacement and basic head design? Just get a mild cam upgrade an evo3 16g and if you MUST have the higher CR (higher by only .3) then swap the pistons/rods from an evo8. But they also will have the wristpin offset incorrect, if I'm not mistaken, negating the benefit of the better rods, if they are better than 2g rods (???). . . You need to think this idea through before trying it. It by no means is a new thought. If you take the time to search, you'll see.

Why put a evo motor into a FWD? Might as well buy the evo itself.

You'd be putting a 4g63 in place of a 4g63.

But it would be in reverse. That's gotta count for something !

The major differences in the long block are cams and turbos/manifolds. All these can be upgraded in your current car for a fraction of the cost to swap.

I meant I would do the whole EVO VIII power train swap for 20 large. The hardest part would be finding a wrecked EVO III that most of the powertrain was still good in. The rest of it would just take time, and my friend who is a very good welder.

It can be done but is not worth the time and cost. You would get out cheaper and quicker getting a GSX or used Evo.

If you really must have an AWD Eclipse with Mivec then your going to be in for a long bumpy and expensive ride.
