RS to EVO
 
This has prolly been mentioned b4 but I can't seem to find the thread if you can findit for me than pm them to me and ill eductate myself.

I wanted to know why the Eclispe RS/Avengers can't do and Evo swap? I'm just going by engine bay pics it LOOKS easier to swap the evo motor in rather than the 4g63 found in the GS models. I touched up on the topic a lil from the DF withSilvercoupe97from my memory I remember him saying something along the lines of it being more work because of the evo's electronics. Something about it not being just plug and play and the Evo being its own... line up?!?

Any1 have any input?

Also why the Eclispe RS's 420A can't be changed out to a 4g63? But the Avengers 420A can? is it because I have more room in my engine bay than the Eclispe or its just a dumb waste of money? I read previous post and all the replys were negative towards the person asking the question. "No it cant" "NO! buy a GST or GSX" "Your an idiot you should of bought a GST or GSX" "Other dumb neb asking another dumb question" No1 is sayin why. Trust me if my car came factory with even a turbo I would of been on it.:D

your looking at more than just the engine swap.. You would need a parts car to take all of the things that you would need.. Thats why they say its not worth it.. Its cheaper to just buy the gst or x.. Anything can be done though. It just takes a lot of tools/knowledge that most people dont have to get it done.

anything can be done with enough fabbing but for the regular tuner, its not effective because if the money......but if your intent on doing it although everybody's discourgement, its a bigger task then you expect
