Go on 2gnt and they will tell you why you can't swap a Neon motor into an Eclipse, so if that isn't possible I don't see how an SRT-4 motor is possible.

It's not a matter of trying it out, its a matter of successfully accomplishing it and being able to keep it running and driving. As far as I am aware of no one has done an SRT-4 swap into the Eclipse and no one has accomplished it successfully.

People ask all the time on 2gnt about the SRT-4 engine or the PT cruiser... those threads get locked and redirected. There's a reason to all of it.

It hasn't been done, not saying it can't be done. But if your going to go through all that work of fabbing and blowing money for a car that weighs more then an SRT-4 its not worth it. Might as well buy an SRT-4.

 

^thats basicly wat i was saying, that guy is a douche

 

I bought a motor (srt-4)for a guy for orlando. He pulled it for his 2g n/a eclipse. He used 2.4 stratus mounts and an adapter kit. The motor was in his car. I never said it was an easy swap. Calling people names is uncalled for. I just answer this guy's question. All I said was it fits.

 

^ima have to say BS b/c u cant use status mounts on a eclipse when they are in a different place, yes they have a 1st gn neon adapater plate but i HIGHLY doubt that it fits a ecl ipse

 

I'll believe it when I see it.

 

i guess you guys haven't spent a whole lot of time around hondas. You should know by now that any engine is swappable into any car. Pop the hood of a 12 different hondas, and you won't find the same engine/tranny/chassis combo twice.
If you have access to a welder, then any engine can be swapped. Some might take more effort than the others, but if you get the engine harness, ecu, complete engine w/ tranny, and mounts, all you need is to figure out how to weld the mounts in place. Assuming that the cars have similar wheelbases. If they don't, then it might take some custom axel work too.
There is no such thing as "can't be done" If you have the time, money, and desire, anything can be done.

what these people are trying to say when they say it can't be done is that it is alot of work.
most people, when they come across something difficult, they just say it can't be done.
good luck with your swap

 

^wow dude, u have no idea wat ur talking about


most hondas have the same mounts for the most part and are easy as fuck to swap. ive heard of ppl swapping them in a couple hrs.

 

yeah, most swaps the mounts are close enough that you don't have to fab a whole lot. but if you are planning on making alot of power, then you have to remove, and reweld the mounts in the proper locations, otherwise you'll break them off. i've been there, done that.

 

well ill not saying it cant be done, im saying its not worth the $$ to go it, will cost alot more than just turboing a 420a(which will respond well to boost if done right) and ull make about the same HP

 

How does Honda Motors/Trans compare to SRT-4 Motors/Trans?

That's like comparing an apple to a pumpkin.

Honda's are interchangable. They already make motor mounts and such to successfully complete engine swaps. Not to the mention the fact that its a HONDA motor going into a HONDA.

Never said it CAN'T be done. Just not worth the time... and definately not worth the money involved to make it work.
