<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(3diamonds)</div><div class='quotemain'>Hey everyone, Â*
i just joined, got my galant less than a week ago, perfect cond, no rust no damage, but it looks like it has a 2.0l 8V SOHC engine . Â*
I have done the infamous step 1...bought the Haynes book on it to see wether i could convert it into DOHC.
So my question is
1 Is it possible to put a DOHC head on 2.0L SOHC?
2 Are the lower parts of the engine the same> (they looked like it on the books) ALTHOUGH i noticed the water pump was a little bit different?? or is it just a crappy drawing ?
3 Will i need the new ECU and the harness?
and finally (drum roll) will the 5 speed M/t be OK with the extra power?
from what i saw and read it looks like mitsu makes one of the best engines! Â*

1. Yes you can, but without also swapping to the DOHC pistons you will have 13.1:1 compression.
2. It's probably just a crappy drawing. Haynes isn't know for their stellar illustrations. The blocks are identical.
3. You're going to be better off just doing a full DOHC swap, in which you will need the DOHC ECU, and harness.
4. Your tranny will handle the power fine since both NT motors use the same tranny.
