Swap EVO 4G63 into a 1G

has anyone successfully done this yet??? i'd assume you need the computer from the EVO unless you run a stand alone.. but someone please shed some light on this for me

Will not work without some insane custom fabbing of everything. Unless you are referring to an EVO I-III motor.

You would need to fabricate custom engine mounts, you'd have to use the Evo transmission and transfer case, fabricate your own wiring harness. reroute shift cables, reroute clutch lines and linkage, fabricate piping for cooling system, custom fabricate a downpipe.....and you'd still only have 271 hp.

You can spend 1/4th the time, effort, and money on the 4G63 you have in there now and make more power.

good point..

any idea where i would get a nicely built 4G63 with the ross/eagle internals? im buying back my 90 GS-Turbo and looking at options for the engine...

I think it can work because if i recall back to an issue of turbo over the summer i believe it was buschur or wome one else that took a 2g bottom end and built it and stuck it in an evo8. The bottom end is the same it is just turned the other way. If you look you will see the freeze plugs in the front of the motor and so on and so forth. maybe i'm wrong and i read the article wrong and the picture i'm looking at are some else but thats just my 2cents.
