evo head on a 6bolt

[RadDsm]

Slow down Tinkerbell....

The 4G64 they are talking about is out of Outlanders and 3g Eclipses. WAY different than the 6 bolt 4G64. T.

6 bolt 4g64? WTF

G4CS maybe?

I know this thread is old but it seems like there is a lot of misinformation going on here. The Evo 8 motor is the "same" as a 2g 7 bolt they just turned the engine 180 degrees and switched the intake and exhaust side of the head. If you don't believe me look at a picture of an Evo 8 engine bay. The dipstick is on the backside of the engine and in a 2g its on the front. The a/c compressor is on the front of the Evo engine and its on the back of a 2g dsm. The water pipe and alternator are also on on the backside of the Evo engine and on the front of a 2g. This shows the engine was turned and not mirrored. The main issue of putting the Evo head onto a DSM engine is that the exhaust manifold would be on the backside of the engine and the intake manifold would now be on the front. This can be remedied by building a manifold similar to what they use on the Honda K-series engines. This would allow you to put a huge forward facing turbo where the battery used to be. Another concern is finding a head gasket that works because some of the coolant passage holes might need to be enlarged.

Does anybody have more information on this swap? I've been trying to google it and all I came up with was a couple of pictures with no solid information.

He's talking about an evo9 head with MIVEC, why you would really be concerned with MIVEC on a drift car is absolutely beyond me but that is what he wants. An evo3 head CAN bolt onto a 6bolt which is why they look nearly identical, its because they are very similar. The difference between a 2g head and an evo3 head is very minimal.

Dude I don't know if you know what MIVEC is man. MIVEC is a great idea for a drift car, talk about an insane powerband, especially if he gets a quick spooling turbo.

Good luck OP

Well put. At least someone finally stopped the misinformation spreading

Thats a lot of money and a lot of hassle just to run basically the same motor you have.

At least you revived it to correct the misinformation. The head obviously fits. The fabrication part would be fun though.

I'd love to see more pictures.

Contemplate this: Evo 9 MIVEC head, 4G64 block, big turbo sitting on the battery tray with an intake tube straight through the passenger headlight, side exit dump on the passenger side, short route piping on the pass side to a side to side FMIC curling back up on the driver's side to a 2G SMIM...

see if i do it in a wrx the rear is all there i wont have to do a lot to make it rwd just get a drive shaft.

Subaru rear diffs are even weaker in RWD only apps than DSM rears. Have fun with that for about 3 drifts.

I'm putting a built, stroker 7-bolt in my S13 right now. I don't believe the crankwalk hype and never will.

You can use an evo valvecover on your head for the "clean look" I'd imagine you're looking for.

W58's will never handle power or clutch kicks btw.
