you're swapping an Evo 8 into a DSM?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Sportback Evolution MR
welcome. I heard it's possible. However sometimes the DSM approach is install 6 bolts short block and ECU with DSMlink.. Then boom a tune and start enjoy DSM powa :)
Sounds interesting . How far along this swap are you? I'm sure everyone here would love to see some pics.

dope man! Hurry up and finish your build haha
By the way if anybody has an evo 8 harness and ecu. Im ready to buy!! I just finished up getting the timing components done and and will set timing on the engine. Probably buy the motor mounts next and drop in the engine and then next would be the transmission which i will be sadly using a 3g trans from the eclipse. Maybe later on awd :D. Im looking to make at least 400hp when i get tuned on e85. I'll be using a freshly rebuilt evo 9 turbo.
Thanks man! yea i can't wait to finish my car. I shall be the only evo 8 DSM in the West Coast! :D
Good luck on your build

Hey,
