evo swap

customeclipse -> evo swap (3/14/2006 6:24:50 PM)
Has anybody done or have done any research on swapping in a evo8 drivetrain into a 3gen eclipse (4cyl)?

EMonz57 -> RE: evo swap (3/14/2006 6:30:39 PM)
drive train cant be done...or not withing a reasonable price range

EMonz57 -> RE: evo swap (3/14/2006 6:31:35 PM)
The head can be and maybe the motor as well. but that isnt worth it really either well not the block the head is better flowing for a turbo

customeclipse -> RE: evo swap (3/14/2006 6:32:33 PM)
why cant the drivetrain be done?

customeclipse -> RE: evo swap (3/14/2006 6:35:30 PM)
so the head of the 03 eclipse is better for a turbo setup?

EMonz57 -> RE: evo swap (3/14/2006 6:39:52 PM)
quote: ORIGINAL: customeclipse why cant the drivetrain be done? the Eclipse frame is not the same as teh EVO so the drivetrain will not bolt up

customeclipse -> RE: evo swap (3/14/2006 6:41:16 PM)
so there will be alot of fabrication involved right?

EMonz57 -> RE: evo swap (3/14/2006 6:49:57 PM)
quote: ORIGINAL: customeclipse so there will be alot of fabrication involved right? for the drivetrain?? it wont happen lol. It will cost too much to even do logically. youd be better off buying an EVO at that point

Sanguinius -> RE: evo swap (3/14/2006 7:07:46 PM)
There's alot that needs done to do the drivetrain. Remember he didn't say it WASN'T possible just not a financially feasable idea. Alot of custom metalwork will need to be done to fit the drivetrain in there from the Evo.
