What you are refering to is the EVO III 16g turbo and not the whole engine swap. Yes you can bolt the evo 16g turbo right on with no modifications what so ever along with a evo mannifold as well, how ever to swap the turbo to a e3 16g you must have the supproting mods as well (fuel pump, bigger injectors ect.) but your answer is yes you can bolt it right up. Buy your buddies talon dude and good luck.

 

Haha thank you! - yeah sorry I should have made that two individual questions, one was about the turbo the other was actually an engine swap question - thanks for the valid info though!

 

Not a prob thats what this is all about. Only engine swap you would want is a rebuilt 4g63 with forged rods and pistons and ect, And dont let your v8 buddies give you crap . Poke your nose around here and you will find a few talkers running 400+ hp with a stock block. Its how you take care of the car that counts. 90% of the idiots that i ever met who constantly broke there dsm never even did a tune up! but yet they wonder why they knocking ... fucking idiots any way good luck.

 

To answer your question about the motor swap, yes it can be done. There is a guy from here in Augusta that swapped an Evo III motor into his car. Now im not sure what all was done to make it work, but I think he just had to modify the motor mounts. Hope this helps you a little bit.

 

Thanks, this is all wonderful info everyone I appreciate it - I guess I was mistaken but I had thought these motors came forged stock? Also I plan to treat this car very well for now it's going to get me to and from college while I build a stroker for my Camaro but once that project is done I'm going to repaint it and work on the interior. But! Being AWD I think it could handle a little extra power and still be a decent daily w/ blow off and inner cooler. Might upgrade the wheels tires and suspension aswell. . .Just I always like working on new projects and if it didn't take much I was going to see what a swap would take .

I'm not a flashy guy so this car won’t be riced or fast and the furious but I do plan to make it look nice and I just thought a 4G63 out of an evo III JDM in my part of the world would be very interesting and unique.

 

Also, I'm 95% sure that the EVO 3 engines actually have a higher compression ratio(like, 8:5.1).

 

Higher compression in a 4g63 good or bad? I know with the V8 motors like my LT1 you want lower compression for boost. . . .

Evo 1-2 had 8.5:1 and Evo3s had 9:1 compression.

An Evo3 motor will not bolt into a 1g, there is no provision for a front roll stop motor mount. They use a mount on the transmission like a 2g. It is a direct swap for a 2g, maybe thats what was referred to in a previous post. Why would you want to drop a 7 bolt into a 1g anyways?

 

Check out the free mods man.

And yea, Keep the 4g63 and get forged internals and make your v8 buddies cry.

Considering where I'm at is the half way point between you too. He is at least 6 hours away from you. I am about 3 hours away from either of you. Austin here btw.
