Re:dsm in honda
ehh i wanted to do that too. but when i used the cheery picker and put one in the engine bay it didnt go. the tranny hits the firewall and if i move it up i cant put any radiator in it. also u will need to modify the hood like the eclipses have tht hump so the timing belt cover doesnt hit. so hope this helps. test fit was in a 95'del sol

Re:dsm in honda
That sounds like way too much work for a less reliable motor. Sorry for downing the DSM motors, but IMO they aren't as reliable as Honda, Toyota, etc...etc...
Are you just trying to go for originality or do you need a new motor and happen to have a DSM laying around?

Re:dsm in honda
less reliable? a high horsepower honda is really reliable.. ya right. the sleeves and internals are super weak and the axles arent too hot either. you can push an eclipse a lot more than any honda engine. but who's car costs $800 to buy, ha! honda wins again.

Re:dsm in honda
like what was said before....DSM in japan are like GM/FORD vehicles here.....just like a GM/FORD you can push more power to a DSM motor also....and honda's are always the ones who get picked on by the guys who love GM/FORD vehicles....or pretty much by anyone who drives an american vehicle....same with the DSM drivers....they bad mouth hondas also....all i got to say it....anyone who doesnt like a honda...KISS MY ***!!!!!!!

I didn't read anybody say anything about a high horsepower Honda, muchless a high horse power Honda being more reliable than a DSM. A high horsepower anything isn't going to be reliable.
You paid $800 for your car?
