that must of cost alot of money..

 

If you are on your stock ECU, what are you doing for fuel managmen? Or are you using the stock evo ECU? Did the cam sensor provide any problems for you? Looks impressive though and I am eager to see and hear more about your project.

 

man, looks nice

 

He said hes using the stock EVO ecu.

:werd:

 

Am i seeing things, or are those spacers on the turbo manifold?

 

Was that a brand new engine? That thing sure does look clean.

 

Impressive work

he has to break it in, so I assume yes

 

that motor looks sweet

 

evo with a galant body.... NICE :yesway:

 

that must of cost alot of money..

well it wasnt cheap, but i did all the labor myself, including the wiring.

the motor cost me 3500 shipped (complete w/ everything) and tranny 800.

complet w/ everything meaning what? Turbo, Intercooler, Manifolds, Piping, ECU Immobilizer, etc? Sounds like a hell of a steal to me.

turbo, manifolds, wiring harness, ecu, key, immobilizer.

the IC was ordered to fit and the piping was custom.

The setup looks awesome.:yesway: Where did you get a deal like that?

 

How hard was it to make the motor mounts work. HHMMM maybe ill do it in my eclipse instead of just a head conversion

His motor mounts are completely different than yours. You have an eclipse, he has a galant. You have a 4 cylinder, he had a 6.

Look at the Evo forums, the Evo owners swap for the 4G64 block. Find out what all they need to do to get it to work. That might help.

I don't remember anyone swapping the 4G63 into the 4G64 eclipse that posts here.

 

I let him answer this, but I'm almost 100% sure that he had sold his V6 and bought an I4 to do this conversion.

 

From what I have read about Stewi swap over at TheGalantCenter

The motor mounts match on the I4 eclipse/galant and the evo motor. Eclipses are built on the same platform as galants.

You can also use your current FWD tranny.

The major problem is the wiring.

Thanks for the information guys. :twothumb:

:agreed: I know that all 4g64 engines use the same mounts, but I think you guys with the galants have more room/clearance in the engine bay. Especially between the motor and firewall. I didn't know he had sold his V6 for an I4 and that is why I assumed he would have had to do more work fabbing mounts.

 

I didn't know if he traded his in, or swapped out mounts.

But yes you are correct, we do have more room between the firewall and the motor. It may take some creative finess to get it to fit in an eclipse.

i used to have a 6 cyl but i sold it and bought a 4 cyl.

what most evo owners do is swap out the '63 crank for the '64 crank, giving them roughly a 2.3 but they do keep the same block. mostly i believe because the '63 has some extra oil squirters.

i remember reading somewhere a while back that RRE had done 1 eclipse with the swap because he insisted on it. dont know what happened to it.

there's more than sufficient room in both the galants and eclipse near the firewall, the problem i see more with eclipses is the clearance in the front with the radiator..you might have to get a slim fan. also, i woulidnt even try to keep an automatic with the evo swap. you'll kill the tranny REALLY fast.

i got the swap off evolutionm.com. and yes, the wiring was the hardest part of all.

Can you link to the thread there? I am assuming you don't find all of that for sale regularly.

 

sweeet

im from the TGC and currenty doing the evo swap in my 8g

stewi is also giving me a hand . im at the wiring part .

i removed the entire 8 g front engine harness and began installing the evo 8 one

the only problem ive encountered so far were the interiors harness below the driver dash near the pedals , there a few harness that dont match up to the 4g64 ones .

what did you do to fix it ? , i was thinking of getting the wiring diagrams from the dealer and rewire it all

heres the link with pics
