25355, 2.4L...... here I come!!!! Posted by HeartOfDarkness, Jun-17-02 09:43 AM
I can get a complete 95 2.4L minivan engine for a good price. Would this be a good engine to use in this swap? I hear that the 95 blocks have problems. What are these problems?
Also, would the TTI Racing motor mount work in an eclipse?
Does anyone know anyone that has done this swap in an eclipse? Any websites you know about that deal with the swap in a eclipse?
I really think I going to do this if it is feasible. Thanks in advance

All then engines are the same from 95-99 the only thing that i notice a difference in is the clutch on the 95 the earlier clutchs have the flywheel and the clutch attached the others dont,

one of the avenger guys just swapped a 3.0L 6cyl in with little/no problems. see here http://www.asog.net/bbs2/viewtopic.php?topic=22735&forum=10&44

He also swapped from the 2.5L V6, and both are Mitsubishi motors. I have found that it is easiest to swap within the same marque, like a Mitsubishi motor swapping with a Mitsubishi motor, and a Chrysler motor swapping with a Chrysler motor. If you have the 2.0 420a, then I think that the 420a is a good swap, as long as it is a 2.4... ;-) -=B-=

cool, thank for the info. The hardest part of this swap, i think, is making all of the brackets fit correctly. What do you guy think about that? Should i just try and modified the eclipse's brackets?

Try it and let us know what happens. If it doesn't work you can always put your motor back in.

Thanks for the info. I went to see the minivan engine today. It was junk. SO, i didn't buy it. Im going to check a couple more places. Hopefully, I can find a complete engine. But, if I can't, Im going to just buy a block and rebuild it. Oh well..... :)

...CV came over and we did some talking about. I fired it up for him to hear. It defintely sounds different than your plain vanilla 2L

Yeah, I hear the 2.4L has a deep sound.

25366, RE: Yes I am... Posted by CVedEclipse, Jun-20-02 12:02 PM
its not just the deepness... it sounds like a beast... it has a little choppyness to it, like it needs more air.. ive heard the 2.4 on other cars.. but with our engines, it sounds different. and this was just from when skrilla was idle!! :thumbsup
