RE: HUGE QUESTION! motor swap
You think this is a good idea and that alone is enough to say you have no clue. Becuase it is a HORRIBLE idea for the fact of being cost efficent.
It is cheaper for you to build up your 420a for boost and get a turbo kit like BDhunter did. Look at his car it has A TON of mods and money dumped in hmmmm I wonder why instead of building his POS 420a he didnt just swap a 4G63??? ya get what I mean?

ok now ladies, you are both pretty. the pissing contest is over, bud660r, chill, emonz57 chill. YES it is possible, no its not a good idea, yes it costs way more than the cost of just either buying a GSt or GSX or just building and turbo'ing the 420a. if you have lots of time, money and paitience.... go for it, good luck, like Emonz was saying, the engine is completely backwards fromt he 420a so basically what you have to do is take EVERYTHING out of the engine compartment, place the motor in there with your custom made motor mounts, and then start placing everything back into the engine bay around the engine, after you are done with that fun, you need to get a new ECU, rewire the entire car, then get new suspension for the front for the new weight distribution. so if that sounds like your cup of tea, go for it. OR you can spend 1000-1300, rebuild the engine, spend another 2000-3200 on a tubo kit and tubo your current one... up to you. either way it's more cost efficient to just sell what you have and get a GS-T or GSX. but good luck

i LOVE evo's i was VERY close to buying the EVO VIII MR that my friend bought (the one that got tore up by the mazda 6 and cobalt) YES EMONZ i KNOW something was wrong with it lol aparently the clutch was slipping and he was getting more slippage than grippage and we all thing that is what it is, he just put the AEM twin disk clutch in there and that thing bites harder than a great white. he also just put his HKS catback on there and it sounds good. my friend just took his wing off and is sanding the paint down/off to the carbon fiber and is gonna spray clear on it to make it all carbon fiber, should look good.
