Fittings a motor in a ce

[Gianni]

I don't know much about ces besides the fact the motors are the opposite to the ccs.

Is there anyway to fit a vr4 evo123 motor into a ce

I have a spare motor and a mate is getting rid of his ce with a blown motor

my understanding is the block can be turned around no worries and will bolt to gearbox. but you will need the later head that is turned around.

Short answer, no

Long answer, I've got a 1.8l block you can have if you come and get it. You may be able to use it to replace the blown one if it's a 1.8l.

I'm pretty sure the 4g63 won't bolt up to the gearbox, different shape from 4g93.

Ooo. Free engine. Where is it?

I believe u actually can do it!

We had a blue CE Mirage with a CC GSR motor in it, here in adelaide

According to the owner it is quiet an easy job, just needed to make bolt hole in chassis for eng mounts.

He has since sold it and put the standard motor back in.

He is on gsr-evo-club.net user name EVO RS

yep the gsr is a 4g93 but the evo is a 4g63.
I've got both of those here in ce forms but think it's the same for cc's going from 4g93 to 4g63 but I could be wrong without looking myself.

Ooo. Free engine. Where is it?

It's a long motor and is in Lilydale but needs some parts put back on and a crankshaft bolt thread reformed.
Your welcome to come and get it.
You would need to put all the bolt on bits off your existing motor on it.

 

[Gianni]

Yeah sweet. I'll take the 93. I'm not far from u. I'll keep u posted thanks heaps

 

[mistamidget]

Your welcome, most weekends are good.

 

[Gianni]

Cool man. Pm me ur number give it a few weeks to organize what's happening with the other car. It's just the block yeah with no head

Completely pointless to fit an older 'CC' style engine in a CE. Reasons being:

1. Won't be legal and won't pass EPA due to engine being older than CE engine.
2. Nothing will bolt up, requiring modification/fabrication of mounting points and brackets.
3. an ev4+ front cut sells for as much (or even sometime less) than a CD9a/CE9a front cut!

 

[Gianni]

Yeah. Was just wondering coz I have an na 4g63 for a cc here. All good though. I've sorted it with Clive
