    Anyways, i got the motor and had to swap parts over, wait on the harness then i got the harness all bunk so i got depressed drank a beer , had a dream that i fixed the harness and the next day i did the same thing in my dream and it worked lol.Â* Â*So you can actually Leave the Big fuse box in your car and only swap the smaller fuse box that deattachs from it. "wow" yeah thats what i said and slaped myself for cause i waited 3 months with everything i needed to complete this.

    So the only things that need custom work are the :
    A . Rear o2 sensor plug
    B. Transmission speed sensor plug

    Which these might very from te 03-04 to the 05. who knows they might have changed the plugs over in the 05 so then its not extra work at all.

    Ohh but to your question , from the moment i got into a wreck. its beenÂ* 11 months and 15 days haha.Â* Â*but it was in the body shop for 2 months for fixing the damages on the front end and DAMN did they do a good job on that.
    this is some basic info. the only other factor it SEEMS is that if you're using an evo 8 block, then the mivec head needs an oil passage to power the mivec. this has been rumored to be as simple as using a hose.


    mivec 2.4 has already been done before. http://forums.evolutionm.net/showthread.php?t=233547 but i'd like to know the details about the oil passage for mivec.

    some says evo 9 block is different than the VIII, so you just cant swap heads

    it has been. note my second link. it was first done by pruven, then it was done by maximillion or wahtever you spell it. i think a swap has been done by tuning technologies as well.

    I took a look at that second thread and saw nothing except warralton bitching for the first several pages...
    impressive gains on IX cosworth cams, but no info on the head swap
    Code:
    sub<br />b{[@b=(abs||No,bottle.”s”x!!++$_,of,beer),on,the,wall]}print<br />“@{+b},\n@b,\nTake one down, pass it around,\n@{+b}.\n”<br />for-pop||-99..-1

    yeah that's cuz warrtalon loses at the internet. the whole point of that thread was to announce that a 2.4 block had a 9 head on it... no attention spam mfers could only think about cossie cams.

    The mivec oil supply is from a metal hardline that is run from a port on the block. The EVO8 does not have this port, however, you could just as easily do the same thing by running an external oil line from the oil filter assembly.
