7G DOHC headswap.... The easy way! ???

[seth98esT]

Oooh that does look close. I can check the yard tomorrow if it doesnt rain, they may or may not have a 1.8L Mirage though :/

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?

:shock: ..Great Find da1085, that looks like it has more of a chance compared to a SOHC 64 distributor...MUCH better. Only issue is if the firing order is the same and if the plugs to the harness are the same. :-| Hope you have some luck and time Seth to find one in a junk yard...I won't since I am moving this weekend.

[DOHCstunr]

firing order should be the same, if its not, all you wodl need to do is move the boots around on the distributor.

the plugs are most likely going to be different, and if thats the case, all need be done is cut the wire from the junkyard distributor.
obstacles yes, but not large ones by any means.

crosses fingers for the frugal dohc hopefulls

I see we are gettung closer and closer to having the answer.

this is a nice picture of the CAS Seth!!
i spent like hours looking for one online and the one i found wasn't even as good of a picture as yours...
LOL...i've had my fingers crossed from the beginning of this thread lol......i'm tryin to locate a yard in my city since im like 2 hours away from the yard i used to go and get things.....

4-G-Rim good luck on moving in!

as for the me, i'm just going to hope that seth or someone can try this on and find out if it fits.

egh the agony of waiting, its just like when you order something via ups.

i also am of high hopes for this thread, i have a yard with a talon 4g63 head waiting for me...

distributor or DIS you should be doing the headswap anyways.

just do it.

yeah, saving up money now for it, i just bought that 600 dollar ticket to go to ireland to visit my brother :)

92-94ish 1.8L Mirage Distributor will not fit in a 4g63 head. Pics:







Maybe an older Mirage?

This is of a 4g15 from a Dodge Colt, it used a dist, doesnt look to be the same patternt. I couldnt check as the Dist was already

[da1085]

so any other ideas?? maybe the 1.5L mirages lol.....i can't think of any other cars that might have a smaller distributor

[jake26]

i am done looking at this topic i am buying a head and few parts i should be DOHC within months!

[da1085]

ok...i might get flamed for this idea..

i looked at some Honda distributors and they look kinda close....they have the 3 mounting but we might be able to just use 2 of them.....the early 90's civic and accords are the one i looked at(online lol)......

i just really want to get this thing going lol....

well i gues......FLAME ON.....



PS......the 1.5 mirrage seems to be smaller distributor than the 1.8......it's ebay lol....

i was wondering... is there any way to possibly, dismantle a distributor and a cam angle sensor. then combine the two? basically take the bottom of the cam angle sensor and mount the distributor in top of it. don't they essentially work the samew way?

i haven't seen either one in front of me at the same time, so this may be a stupid question.

[Shadow19]

I have a 94 1.5 mirage in my back yard....................... If you guys want me to take pics ill go and see if i can take the Distributor out (if the car isnt wasp infested.. im HIGHLY allergic to them) and ill take pics...

[seth98esT]

Theres not a way to take apart the distributor other then the cap and rotor. The mount and everything is all one peice.

even if you could,
by the time you did all that,
it woudl have just as difficult to do the legit headswap ecu DIS and all.

might as well go all out.

[kolio]

What would be the gains of this swap? if it's worth it all u need is the new head? I am new to the whole modifing thing, but if this could make my 7G better and worth it iwould do it.

[bronxbombr]

welcome dude!

[seth98esT]

Come on bronx, you didnt answer his question...

DOHC should yield you ~20 crank hp over SOHC. ALso the DOHC head flows more, will see more hp throughout the entire RPM range, and you will have better acesss on parts for building the head.

[bronxbombr]

Well i didnt wanna tell the noob to use the search, but that is the first thing they should do is read the forum rules and regulations. Then the tutorial sections etc............then last but not least start asking away with the questions.
