Default RE: evo swap

do you know of anybody who have done the drivetrain swap? I never heared of anybody that has done it. I just want to know if the response of the car is worth the price once the swap was done.

Emonz: If I have plans to get a turbo kit from Russ, an Evo head would prove better than the original?...01 Eclipse GT

I have never heard of it being done. I would imagine it would have the same handleing essentially as a GSX with better suspension.

the EVO is a I4 you have a V6 so no the head is not able to fit your car...your car has 2 heads EVO has one. But your car can make huge power with the stock head just all built up bottom and top

so there will be alot of fabrication involved right?
Thats ALL it is, even if you just want to do a 4g63(evo head) swap on the 4g64, their are water jackets in the block that need to be plugged for it to work.

Buy a turbo kit for the 4g64 and call it a day, if you want awd buy an evo.
