evo motor in a laser

[turbodreams27]

ok i got a 91 rs laser n/t an i just got a 2002 evo motor 4g63 with 16g turbo.. i got the harness, ecu, all i need is the intercooler an pipein... but what im wonderin is will it fit let me kno asap... thank you

 

[JohnCIV_Talon]

No, not without alot of work. Alot of money.

 

[turbodreams27]

so what would i have to do to get it to fit? would the motor mounts hoook up

 

[Generation X]

The motor is turned 180 degrees as compared to dsms.

 

[turbodreams27]

so the turbo an tranny is on the driver side as a dsm is on the left side

 

[edenTSI]

the pulleys and timing belt is on the passenger side in the evo, while on a dsm its on the driver side.

There is a guy in salt lake that is rolling around with an evo motor in his 1g, but no idea how much it cost him, but its possible.

 

[eclipsh]

Sure it is possible, but what a waste of money when you can just drop in a turbo DSM motor and get almost the same results. Sell the Evo stuff to someone with a 3G or a Galant and buy yourself a turbo DSM motor and harness, or better yet, go buy a car that already has one. They are easily had for under $2000 at this point.

well the guy im gettin the motor from said the the tranny hooks up to the passanger side just like the dsm???

He is wrong.
Take a look at the two engine bays and see what we are talking about.

The Evo engine compartment is the first picture and the Eclipse is the second picture. See how the engines sit on the opposite sides of eachother.

What generation of evo? Evo III .. sure no problems as its nearly identical to a 2G 4G63...

He said it was out of an 02 Evo.

 

[eclipsh]

He said it was a 2002 Evo so it would not be the Evo 3. Most likely a 6 or 7.

 

[MelloEclipse]

i agree....cool project idea....completely unpratical and not worth it though.

 

[JohnCIV_Talon]

No its an 8

 

[Hideki]

I'm agreeing with everyone else here, but if you decide to go through with it take some pics and tell us how you did it, and how much you spent

 

[Hideki]

and since we're on the topic of EVO engine swaps, There was a guy who swapped the EVO 7-9 engine into a 2G non-turbo because the 2G N/T wears its engine like the EVO. I don't have any additional info unfortunately.

 

[The_one]

Since you have most of the evo parts what you can do is buy a cheap 2 doors 97 up Mirage and do your swap that will cost you less compared to your laser.

 

[Splitpi]

He said it was out of an 02 Evo.

No he didn't. Don't put words in his mouth. The original poster is turbodreams27, I responded to 91_gsxturbo and his first post and only post is in my reply... no mention of an 02 evo anywhere in it.

 

[Cs4g63]

Sorry got confused on that one.
Plus I wasnt saying it to be a flamer.

 

[turbodreams27]

thanks for all the help

 

[91WhiteGSX80]

Just wondering now I have a 1G car is there any parts of the EVO motor that can fit in are motors? like cams are they batter then the stock 1g's or the vavles or any of that shit.. just wonnda know.. ???

I thought the N/T motors had the same orientation as the current EVO's but maybe I am wrong. Really not very familiar with the N/T motors.

Thats what I was thinking, I think people didnt read the op's original post.
