New motor came in. Maybe an Evo III ?

[smx55]

Ok my engine came in today. It has the clyone intake on it. I took some pictures just don’t know how to post them. I was hoping it’s an Evo III……but you guys will be able to tell better than I can with motor it is. Can someone tell me on how to post them on this tread?

Thats a Galant motor, you can tell by the thermostat housing and the intercooler hose that wraps up and around the exhaust manifold.

Well I can't completely agree they did shaft us pretty good on the evo. Europe got the evo 6 as there first one. We had to wait still untill the 8 came out and even then we didn't even get everything that the jdm evo came with. Now that the evo X is here we are just now getting the technology that the previous evos had.

Not to mention, the more powerful 360hp Evo X is not available in the US either.

Yep. It's a JDM GVR4 motor. I know. I have one. It's a 6 bolt motor. Yours looks like it has a 14B. Mine has a 13G because it came out of a car with an auto transmission. Also, my Cyclone intake manifold says "ECI MULTI" on it and not "Cyclone" - which I actually prefer because it looks a little less ricey.

Look in my blog for pictures:

Most everything on that engine will work in your car, with the proper supporting mods (6bolt in a 2G, etc). The Cyclone manifold will work, but it takes patience and a DSMLink or an RPM switch to make it work correctly:

What's nice is that in the pics I can see...you have everything to make that manifold work correctly- the infamous "white cannister", etc. What you also have is the JDM specific bracket to hold the manifold correctly, and the metal mount for the igniter, which appears to be broken- just mount a working igniter to that metal back plate. I bought my motor specifically for those reasons - you just can't beat original OEM hardware sometimes.

ok so what will I not be able to use from this motor and have to take from my old motor.....like the cylone intake wil that not work right? some people say yes and some say no. If its from a galant is there much of a diffrence from doing a 6 bolt swap?

AFAIK it should be a pretty straightforward 6 bolt swap except for the fact that you will need a few vacuum things for the cyclone, a white canister IIRC, I never have done the swap nor been that interested in it but from what I remember that canister is part of the mechanism that operates the butterfly valves that make the cyclone that much of an advantage over stock.

An EVO III Motor also has the SILVER valve cover with mitsu emblem and "Mitsubishi" text on it. EVO III's did not have red valve covers.

There is more than just "a JDM GVR4" engine

There is this one, 14b turbo and 440 or 450 injectors (blue iirc), red cover
There is also the more rare one, has yellow 510 injectors, big16g turbo and a silver-ish cover like an evo engine. Besides that, the engines themselves should be identical.
And if I'm right there is also another one with a 13b or something but I'm not sure about injectors and such on that one. I think its from auto's with also 440 or 450's

Yea the white cannister is there, so I'm going to take a shot at it getting it to work. There is a lot of vaccum lines that run alone where the white cannister is that I'll need to fugure out. There is a box that on the backside of the intake manifold that broke. I saw in your pic that you have one also…what is that for do I need to replace that? I just going to take all the supporting mod from my 7 bolt and transfer on to this engine ( in profile) and I’m hoping I have better luck with this motor
