Sure. Anything is possible with the right amount of knowledge, equipment and money. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/uhh.gif

Why not a bi-turbo v12? A real amg...

Our engine bays are a bit shorter than those of 1G/2G so it's tough to fit anything bigger than a 4G. I saw a thread on Tuners a while back where a guy swapped in the v6 from a 3000gt and it was EXTREMELY tight against the firewall with the twin turbos. Moving to a single front mounted turbo might help. It CAN be done in the sense that a skilled fabricator can do just about anything, but it's not really feasible in most cases. But, one of the biggest cons to the idea is that there isn't a lightweight v6 out there to compete with the durability and power potential of a 4g. Particularly given the relative ease of a 2.4L stroker. It's not like toyota where the v6 from a Tacoma is just as tough and weighs the same as the 3sgte. Even if you make it work you're getting marginal performance at the cost of a less reliable and significantly heavier engine.

VERY true. Now he just has to come up with the money to pay for said skills.

 

What about an Evo IX swap? Mivec is pretty fun to have.

not without a ton of work. any swap and your pretty much going to have to eliminate the AWD and AWS components. the amount of money/time/work you would have into it, it would be more fiesable to purchase an evo or something. ive done a few one of a kind swaps, and its more of a pain than anything. IMHO

I've got a 6A13TT engine driving the rear wheels of my car and an Evo XVI (Evo 10 and Evo 6 motors running in a boxer cofiguration) motor running the front left wheel.
It was really easy to do.
Made me so hellaflushkenblockdriftepicfailfacebook that I can't drive down a city block without a dozen smoking hot women throwing themselves at my crotch

True story, bro.

If you want something not done, buy a roller and install 4 sets of pedals.
a case of red bull in the back instead of nitro.
Beats the economy button every time.
