EVO3 engine swap

[allan636]

But how are you even swapping it in a gst, the engine is backwards. Wouldn't that be the same as a 420a to a 4g63 that everyone is bitching about.

You people really need the rest of the damn thread before posting. However since I know that is probably too much work for you as you people keep posting the same questions I'll make it simple....

Now go read that.

if you are referring to me, I have read the whole thread, and it is almost to the point of not making sense. Somebody please tell me if I am wrong here, but does the evoIII not have a 7 bolt crank, and a transmition on the drivers side. And if so, is the gsx/gst not have it's transmition on the passenger side?

Allan if I had a helmet to give you I would because Im starting to think you need one pretty bad. If you did your research the Evo I-III has a similar set up to the 7bolt 2g with a few minor differences. Evo 4-8 so far are all flipped around and sit like the 420A.

Evo 1 - 3 have the same config as our cars. Thats why we can use evo 3 manifolds and turbos

Maybe I am wrong, but poeple are talking about swapping a evo III engine in a 2g gsx. Does the Evo III not have the transmition on the drivers side???

That started on the evo IV

I wasn't pointing you out specifically, but apparently you did not even read the link I posted stating...

EVO Motors: The valve covers of the EVO 1-3 motors will be a kind of titanium color. They are the same as a US 2G motor with nothing fancy. They have the smaller 2G style intake ports, a small runner intake manifold with a larger plenum and a larger throttle body than a 2G motor. Still they are hard to find. Many are from other 4G63 powered cars and can have small 13G sized turbos. They will not bolt into a 1G because there are no provisions for the front roll stopper motor mounts that bolt to the block. Everything in Japan from 94 and up has the front and rear roll stopper motor mounts on the transmission 2G Eclipse style. Many people are running around yapping about how they have an EVO motor in their car. If it bolts into a 1G, it isn't an EVO motor.

Omigod, look at the blood gushing from this TWO-YEAR-OLD string of argumentation... er, thread! Someone do something! Do it quick! Do..... oh.

Nevermind, it's dead.

Let the rejoicing commence.
