Getting a 1ga gsx w/ evoIII engine - What to look for?

[Andrew7dg]

Ha ha Thats what I thought when i first read the thread

So first look out for shit that the guy is talking about

2g and EvoIII don't have that front motor mount that would make it possible to mount it in a 1990

I have a 1990

Trans are somewhat different so a common swap is using a 91-94 trans with shift cables (a rumor though is stock to stock the 90 transmissions are stronger but I don't know if that is bs or if it is true)
The Throttle body is different looking

The tach reads from a different source then a 91-94 so if you were to use dsm link you would have to move a couple of wires around

get 92-94 front breaks

Alright. Are the 92-94 brakes bigger, or what?



There's the engine...
He said the guy he got it from said it was an evoIII engine. Maybe he just misundertood that it has an evoIII manifold and/or turbo...? or maybe the guy said that it was the same engine (4g63) as the evo.. idk. I will have to ask him.

It looks like a 2g exhaust manifold so it might have the Evo turbo. But everything else in that pic looks to be correct 90 6 bolt stuff.
