Hey guys,
Does the cas unit definitely hit the firewall?
Can the engine go in and out from the top with hoist?
My engines arriving mid week :-)
thnx!

99.9% It will so you have 3 choices
1 massage the firewall as per Avandulls method .
2 move motor forward app 15 mm like my JB
3 delete rear CAS and install a front trigger wheel as per Kiggly mod

The engine is a Evo 1. Is the cas different

Iirc there are 3 different types of cas. I think the evo ones have a black plastic cover whereas the vr4 and galant ones have a green metal one. Just out of interest what gearbox are you going to use, as the starion one wont fit an evo engine?

Starion gearbox? what, I thought my starion box would fit the evo engine?

Build the evo engine into and onto the starion block?

It will fit if you use a 6 bolt wide block but not a narrow block. You need an adaptor plate.

Personally I would swap the evo internals and externals to the starion block. New rings and bearings whilst your at it. That way you'll have a nice new bullet proof motor :)

From the first post, the engine is already done and dusted.

here is an option I think will work easier (as I am not an engineer or mechanic for rebuilding my own engine into a evo spec one)
*Sigma 2 ltre turbo gear box
*Evo flywheel
*Evo pressure plate
*Sigma clutch
*Spiggy bearing into the evo flywheel. (as they don't already have one)
*slave unit for hydraulic clutch
*rear housing swap from my old starion box to bring the shifter back

FYI, a workmate of mine has a factory sigma/galant RWD turbo and the gearbox on it is a wideblock.

yeah, apparantly some boxes are a multi-fit, not all holes will line up though.
is it the 2.litre?
