Can a Mitsubishi Eclipse receive an engine transplant from a Porsche Carrera S?

porsche


If you’re into engine modification of ur ride, can one replace a 2008 model Mitsu Eclipse’s 3.8L DOHC 24V V6 engine rated at 263hp for a more muscular 3.8L DOHC 24V F6 (355hp) from a Porsche 911 Carrera S without extensive modification under the hood? Same displacement, same number of valves. Is it possible? Disregarding the costs, of course.

    Disregarding costs, it may be possible. Porsche Carrera’s have their engine in the rear and Mitsu’s have it in the front. Flipping it around to the front you will have tranny issues, driveshaft issues and which wheels are the ones that are going to be driven? You’re going to have to hire an engineer to figure it all out. By the time you spend your money you probably could have bought a Porsche Carrera and a Cayenne so I ask why would you want to?

    I once saw an Isetta 600 (BMW mini car) with an Allison V-12 airplane engine in it. All things are possible.

    I would recommend putting the eclipse engine in the Porsche instead. Also make sure you put a 5 inch fart-can that drags the ground on the back, and, on the door, a graphic of a one-winged angel with a big fist punching a tax collector in the face. You would be the envy of all Porsche owners.

    Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

    The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

    Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

    Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
