EVO III motor

[boostingsx98]

I currently have a 98 gsx that i spun a bearing in. I plan on doing the EVO III motor swap. My question is i have dsmlink for my eclipse and will this by any chance work with my evo motor, if not what can i use to tune with the new EVO III motor?

Thanks

i'll buy your dsm link. If i remember correctly I read something about this in a forum and i don't think you can just up and do it. You have to send it somewhere or something. Someone on here will know.

I don't see why it wouldn't work. You're still going to use the stock harness and ECU, which is what link needs.

Whats the difference between the Evo111 motor and the eclipse motors

 

[viperbenz1]

evo3 motor is the same as 2g 7bolt , it does use different intake manifold , 16g turbo o2 housing and turbo manifold fuel injectors

Id pick a 6bolt over any EVO III motor any day

Well a buddy of mine did the swap and he used the evo motor and ecu, but kept the 2g wiring harness. So can i use my 2g ecu with the EVO III motor or do i need to use the EVO ecu?

A regular DSM ecu will work.

 

[boostingsx98]

alright thanks for the info!

i have an evo3 motor and kept the stock 2g ecu - works fine - i'm sure dsmlink would work just fine also

I have never understood how a "jdm" 15 year old engine is better then a built engine, for almost the same price. Most of the "evo 3" engines are actually out of galants and rvr's.

 

[jjgrizz73]

Its not, its fine in some cases when people want to get a stock motor back into their car rather than paying to have one built (which is way more expensive btw.) I got the motor, trans w. tcase, and ecu(which was junk) for 1,700$ shipped.

For the money spent, you could have a BUILT motor. A built 7-bolt is in ALL WAYS better than any 6-bolt or any 4g variant. There is nothing extraordinary about a true evo motor, just 1g cams, 8.8:1 compression, the same bottom end as your regular 7-bolt, an exhaust manifold with a larger outlet, and of course the intake manifold(the only extraordinary part), and sometimes the E3 16g. Build your 7-bolt or go home!!!!!!!!

Not me.

 

[boostingsx98]

Well im getting this motor for around 600 bucks so think its pretty worth it.

BTW the pistons are 9:0.1 comp...

Incorrect inforamtion!!!!

Evo 3 engines are only from Evo 3s( Evo 1 and 2s come with the smaller 16G turbos, different pistons etc.. they made less power). Here in Jamaica, we have all the Evolutions starting from 1 to 10. Evo 3 engines are very good yet their pistons are weak and yes, the comp. is 9.0:1 so most persons out here have used pistons from the Evos 5-9 which are 8.8:1 and much stronger. galants come both 6 and 7 bolt and RVRs only come at 7 Bolt but those are different from the Evo 3 motor esp. the RVR because most use cam angle sensor and a TDO4 turbo.

Where it regards a build engine I would opt for that than yes, a 15 year old engine. Hope this helps

Yes, but there has been engines for sale that are said to be EVO 3 engines, but are actuallly only RVR engines or just 6-bolts, and all evos have 7-bolts.

Things are different here in America. Almost every importer sells all of the jdm 4g63 turbos as evo engines. Ask for an rvr engine or trans and they say they only sell evo engines.

Sketzshane you said the evo 3 internals are weak, how much power/boost can the stock motor handle, putting into account i have all the supporting mods??

I have owned 2 Evo 3s. The one I had the longest I run the most boost on which is 22 psi on the stock bottom half on 90 Octane, no meth kit (I made 330whp). The other mods I had when I made that power were HKS 264 on Intake, 272 on Exhaust, TDO5H 20G(Yes, not the TDO6H), 255lph Walbro Fuel Pump, 560cc Injectors, 3 Inch Exhaust, Upgraded Intercooler with piping (2 1/4 on Hot side and 2 1/2 on the cold side leading to Intake manifold), ECU minor tuning done since the Evo3s come with Eprom chips. If I did further tuning, up the injectors etc... I would have been able to make more but I sold the car. People have made more than me but most have destroyed their pistons/engine etc... in trying to do so and shortly after I sold the car, the new owner had to change his Very sad Anyways, as what I stated before most Evo 3 owners here use the newer Evo 5-9 pistons unless they going full aftermarket(such as CP, Arias, JE etc...) along with Eagle rods or better etc...

Strength wise, are they similar to the 2g 7 bolts or weaker?

I haven't researched but I would believe that they are similar. As what I said before the only weak point I know of is definetely the E3 pistons. Everything else can take power IMHO. If you worrying about strength then maybe u should go 1G since it has been said over and over that those are stronger than the 2Gs.
