You should do the AWD Conversion while your at it!!!

 

i wish bro. but dont have the money or the time. bout to go back to school here soon.

 

When members go turbo, they use a manifold spacer inbetween the block and manifold to clear the starter.


Heres an example.

Hopefully this info is helpful

Good luck

 

and i know alot of guys are going to say I should just get the evo head and keep the stock block. but i would rather just do a whole new engine.

Why not use the 4g64 block, it's easier and the car would be stroked. Even guys on DSM forums do that.

 

i know. but i just think it would be more beneficial right off the bat to do the whole engine. i know it would be cheaper and easier, but that doesn't really concern me to much. i read up on the guys that did the head swap and thats straight and all, but i just would rather do the whole engine. feel free to tell me if im wrong.

 

so all i would have to do is put some space in between the block and the manifold? and how much space, it didn't say on that thread. if you don't know, thats fine, obviously i will find out once i get to work.

 

You should take the time and figure out how to get the MIVEC Evo motor to work. Might be as simple as the motor and corresponding ECU.

 

Doing a MIVEC swap would be TONS more difficult. You'd need the whole wiring harness to be swapped in.

IMO an EVO8 engine would be a great swap.

 

if you get the evo9 motor yeah just drop it in along with a 9 ecu shouldnt be a big deal. I personally would get an 8head an keep the block AND stroke it. Itll be a monster... on a roll , not sure about a dig:lol:

exactly, theres a point where theres just too much power for teh FWD.
but good luck man.
some guy with an avenger did it. so google that.

 

so where did u get the engine and how much?

 

JDM 4G63T EVO V JDM RACING MOTORS - JDM Engines, Transmissions and Accessories.

i haven't got it yet. i am still getting my "funds" in order.:fever:

that price is pretty steep but i figure thats only what i would be paying up front. once it gets in, i will probably sell the tranny since that engine will bolt up to my stock tranny and then i can sell my old engine. and then sell watever else i dont need.

 

Getting a wiring harness wouldn't me too bad since most of the time when you buy a motor (at least from a company) they leave the engine harness on it. I'd like to see a MIVEC 3g personally.

great. now i dont know if i want to try and do the mivec or stay with the evo V motor. that third link u sent is lookin real good to me rite now ithinkyou

 

ok, so sell me your stock engine for like 100 - 200 dllrs will ya?

id love to have a spare stock motor

 

I'd be interested in another stocker too. That way I can do my turbo and DOHC on that motor an stil keep my daily driver running until the seperate motor is done. BTW i think you should do the MIVEC lol

 

lol. i think i mite do the mivec. but im not going to lie. this whole swap thing isnt going to happen tomorow. idk when i am going to start since i have to go back to school in less than a month. but i will prob sell my stock motor so i will keep yall in mind when i do.:twothumb:





i take it that ur doing the whole evo head swap and build a stroker. do u have ur head already and if u do, where did u get it?

 

any update..?

 

still savin money man. just bought c/o's. the swap will be next.

 

hey guys

i dont wanna hog the thread but while were on the subjct of wiring harness .

i have a 2003 galant with the 4g64 engine (same as the 3g) . i already bought an entire evo 8 front which includes the engine , all the accessories. the wiring harness and the engine mounts. i had a great deal on it ( even came with rotors and calipers )

anyway ive already pulled out the old 4g64 from my g and ive also pulled out the 8 g wiring harness and i already started installing the evo 8 wiring harness .


did anyone on this site do the swap with the 4g64 wiring harness ?

and for the starter i think an available option would be of getting an aftermarket mani (tubular ) and have it rewelded for more room , would it be not ?

this is my thread on the TGC forum
