Where to find EVO3 motor?

[Sandman817]

I've been looking around so many places online and i am unable to find myself a real evo 3 motor out of the 95 lancer evo 3's. i have decided this is the motor i am going to swap into my eclipse. Anyone that knows of a place with reasonable price, let me know i am definetly interested.

For the same price you could build an engine that handles twice the power.

What he said.


How about osakajdmmotors they once told me I can get a front clips for 2500.

Go to their front clip section there's a lancer motor up there but you have to call them or email.

Do what he said, if you can't find one.

I tend not tell anyone about both sites but what the hell.

There is virtually no appreciable difference if you are going to mod the engine at all. Yes the evo motors are going to have alittle more power in stock form but as soon as you start modifying, it is the exact same thing.

You can find an Evo III motor in any 1G or 2G DSM with a Big 16G and 550CC injectors. Any of them.

osakajdmmotors.com has EVO clips about every two months. I was looking into an EVO III clips not because an eclipse but a 4-door mirage I am buying. They want $3500 for the clip, but that also includes a rear subframe, suspension and brakes. good deal if you want to do an AWD Mirage conversion, but the Eclipse motor is nothing different other than what the other guys said.

Evo III motor is the exact same as any usdm 6bolt motor. Dont get all twisted up into thinking the EVO motor is better because it's rated for more HP from the factory thats mainly from the 16g that came on it.

 

[Blackjet18t]

You can make that easy. Do a 2g 7-bolt head on 1g 6-bolt block, EVO 3 intake manifold, EVO 3 16g, EVO 3 exhaust manifold, EVO 3 o2 housing, and a set of 550s with an SAFC voila you're done.

Except that it is 8.8:1, and the USDM is 7.8:1. Oh yeah, there's no difference and there won't be once you start modifying

 

[Colt4G63 also]

I don't get it, why not just buy some random 7 bolt, an evo3 turbo and mani, and some 550cc injectors? Viola EVO3 motor. Only difference is the serial number on the block.

I personally would rather build a 6 bolt, but some people have to be all "JDM YO!" about it.

I find the thing about JDM motors is, if they crankwalk, and the rings are shot, and it's a 95-96 motor that you bought for a 97-99 DSM, the company like Toronto JDM just says oh well, tough, I'm not giving you your money back.

Except the Evo3 motor is a 7 bolt. So it's really not the same in a lot of areas.

It would be so much better to build a forged motor for much less than a stock E3 motor.

Oh, there's that I guess, but they sell pistons.

It's better to just build a motor here, with better parts, for cheaper. You don't know what you're getting with a clip or crate, and they don't care if you get a bad engine.

And they dont care if shit breaks on the trip over.

 

[ramsack]

Very true. I ordered a turbo from this guy in Canada that imported and sold the ct20b Toyota turbo. Well customs is just BS and takes forever, but customs broke the turbo on the way to me and shipped it back to him. I dunno how you break a turbo in shipping. It's almost a solid piece of metal. He was nice enough to give me a lower mile one for nothing because of the wait.

 

[JusMX141]

Evo III motor is the exact same as any usdm 2G 7bolt motor.

Fixed.

 

[LiquidX]

Sandmand, the motors are the same 4g63 that you find here. There are only slight differences but over all what most people said on here already is the better way to go. Either build your own motor or just get a 6 bolt.

Once you start modifying which it seems you will anyway, there is no more differences. The turbo on the Evo 3 motor was bigger than the USDM so that's where you are getting your power difference from along with larger stock injectors.

If you can get an Evo3/RVR IM than pick that up as it will bolt up to a 7 bolt head and it's a better part over the 1g and 2g stock IM.

Exhaust manifold is larger than the stock 2g manifold but a Forced Performance Race Manifold blows the Evo3 exhaust mani out of the water with both looks and performance.

Cams are slightly different on the Evo3 motor due to power band matching the Evo3 16g turbo but they aren't that much different than 1g manual cams. Piston CR is a little higher which just gives a little more umph before the turbo kicks in. Lower CR means higher boost you can run however 7.8(1g), 8.5(2g), 8.8 (E3)


Overall, stop thinking like a Honda kid all about "JDM", do some research on the DSM and the 4g63T and learn what it's actually about. If you want a faster car do some bolt ons or rebuild yours or swap in a 6 bolt and build that. You'll save money and have a better engine than an unknown (don't go and say 'well they are all 50-60k miles' as you have no guarantee on that nor condition).

Trust me, I went that route before and the motor specd out fine from the shipper. Got it in the car and a week later crank walked. I was out of $2200 just like that. For the same price I now have a fully built 6 bolt in my car.

It really depends on how much time and money you want to put into the project. I myself would love to start with the E3 motor, but again depending on how you want your setup to be, you can get similar results from either setup.

 

[Sandman817]

yea well i can't really even find any evo3 motors anyways, i i am currently talking to a guy from here who has a 99 udsm 7 bolt motor with about 80k on it and has the 550's, new clutch and a few other things done to it.

Can someone confirm that the 98-99 motors are revised engines with oil squirters on the mains and their chance of crankwalking is about the same as a 6 bolt motor CWing?

The only thing revised from 98.5 to 99 is split bearing design like Evo 8's have. They seem to be less likely to crankwalk, but considering something insanely absurdly low like 2% or less of 7 bolts actually crankwalk, you need to stop believing everything you hear.

For the record, I am sick and tired of crankwalk-mania.

 

[Sandman817]

haha yea i know i know, cw is definetly over rated i just never hear the end of it from my buddies at work about my motor knocking, so they just say CRANKWALK nice man "why walk a dog when you can walk a crank" This is coming from honda owners...figures.

I didn't realize for the same price i can build a motor that will last me much longer, make more power reliably and KNOW for a fact that the motor will actually run well when i get it back! looking into rebuild parts as we speak. Most likely going to end up going to dsm graveyard for the rebuild and see what they can do for me. I found manley h-beam rods/piston combo for 705 shipped!! and that's from SBR so we all know they are legit.
