[jake26]

good point on that, i think he was just messing with us, i wont belive nothing untill i see some pictures and there better be no photoshopping them either ha hahahahhahha. but please if any one has access to a 1g or 2g head and has the available parts try it and see if it works.

I have the parts. I already tried a 94-95 distributor on the DOHC head and it doesn't fit. Tonight for sure I will be testing if the 96-98 distributor will work on the DOHC head which I HIGHLY doubt it will. Pics will come very soon.

when you test it. Can you also check to see if it will fit if a spacer, or mount was made? i see what you were talking about with the how the dist is mounted to the sohc. I think it would might fit if there was the same kind of mount on the dohc.

I get what you are saying and actually if the distributor shaft was alot shorter, it would match the mounting points as the DOHC CAS would. The other issue though is the diameter of the distributor, its much wider than the opening on the DOHC head. Oh well...i'll just post pics, they will explain ALOT better than I could. :-?

well lets see how it all turns out, ill check to see if the hole in my DOHC head is big enough to fit the distributor

Yah I think this guy is joking with us! Im sure the concept will work, whether or not you will need some sort of spacer made, thats another problem. Any descent machine shop would be able to make one for you, price is where it may or not be worth it. Probably &#036;50-200 to get something like that machined from a block of aluminum.

I got a chance to take some pics today of why I say the distributor DOHC isn't going to work. Sorry for the delay..I have been packing for the past several days and getting ready to close on the house. I will try to get the pics posted tomorrow.

i've been keeping up with this thng for a while and i think this guy should be ban for pulling our SOHC chains


does the 1.8L eclpise use coil packs?? if they dont, they must have a smaller distributor than our 2.4L motors...maybe it might fit on the DOHC from a 2G eclipse and since we'll be using them for our motors hen we might be able to use the 1.8 rotors....well since the stock distribtor is too big for the DOHC.....the only thing the ecu needs is to know when to fire right?? i dont know, maybe im wrong...

im hopping that the 1.8L doesn't use coil packs since if they do i just wasted time writing this reply.

or maybe even the 1.5L mirage.....

[jake26]

seth i think you should ride to his house, and check insidce his garage!!! he lives in the same state as you!!!! HOPEWELL VA i think, dont know how far but same state!!

[seth98esT]

damn .................

[da1085]

ok......i looked at some pctures from a 93-95 1.8L mirage and compaired it towards the Eclipse CAS (picture posted about a page ago) and they look really similar

i would try this match up in the yard but i have no acces from one since im stayin at my dorm in san marcos, texas......WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK??DOES IT HAVE A CHANCE?
