Hey guys,

I have been looking around classified for a while now and am doing an evo swap in my 3gen eclipse. First starting with engine and trans than pulling everything apart and swapping awd. Just want to say hi and hope I can learn a thing or two from you guys since before this eclipse, I only worked on domestic cars. My ultimate goal is to own an evo eventually but it is cheaper for me now do just do a swap.

Thanks

Ill post them after work. Im in the process of blueprinting the block and everything right now. but am still waiting for pistons and cams and valves to come in. this car will be pretty much a second hand evo because everything that i will purchase will be used, sent to a shop to test and than it will be put on my car. I havent done an overhaul like this since my mustang and that took my 2 years to complete so I am hoping that now with a house that has a garage and a better paying job, that i will be able to complete this within a year (give or take 4 month). I will post up the inventor files I have for how I want the eclipse to look by next week. Oh and almost forgot, my budget is about 8K for this not including a standalone and tune.

I would think you could use an evo 8 ecu.

Welcome! I agree with the others; that sounds like a cool build. How are you planning on getting AWD to work? I've never heard of that before in a 3G eclipse.

I'm also curious about the awd swap as well. I did the evo 8 ecu swap in my 2g eclipse gsx and had no problems but if I remember correctly aren't the stock 3g ecu's flashable?

^ yes.

And so you know this swap had been done already, documented in club3g. Realistically 8k budget for the whole thing isn't gonna happen..... I'm awd swapped and it's the little things that kill you
