Lil Evo -> RE: 01 de swap (12/7/2006 9:44:38 PM)

I think we need to make a sticky on this, cuz it's been covered about a zillion times. Unless you've got money comming out your ears and can fab your own engine mounts, and can afford to have your car down for about 3 months, you're pretty much SOL. 4g63T WILL NOT bolt into a 5th generation Mirge. That is unless you pull one out of an Evo VIII, but then you've still got to worry about motor mounts, transmission & differentials, drive shafts, converting to a 5 bolt pattern if you're wanting to keep the AWD, and a general slew of other problems. It can be done quite easily in a 4th gen car, but anybody 1997 and up has a very limited number of options when it comes to swaps. All this, and considering the fact that to correctly do a 4g63t swap into a 5g rage would cost your somewhere in the neighborhood of $10-12k. I don't know about you, but if I had 12 g's, I'd be using them as a downpayment on a real Evo.
By the way, just an afterthought, importing an Evo V motor & tranny will do you no good either, since they though they look similar, the Evo IV, V & VI use a different frame than what a USDM 5th generation Mirage does.
Welcome to the forum by the way, lol
