Hey guys, so I drove by this 94 red talon and stopped to take a peak at it. I chatted with the owner for a bit and helped him find out he has the 1.8L motor (SOHC). The car had all 4 disc brakes, was that option available in that year? I thought only the GSX had the rear disc brakes.
Anyway he was telling me the oil pump is shot and hes only asking $500 cash. I know the swap from a 420a into a 4g63 is out of the question. But this little 1.8's tranny bolts up same side as the 4g63. So what I really want to know is can I swap a 2.0 4g63T into that? If so, besides ECU, any big things to worry about?
For the haters out there, I did try to search and only found a bunch of posts about the 4g swap from a 420a. These 1.8L motors are entirely new to me and I have 0 knowledge of them. Thanks guys.

the 1.8L is a 92 hp 8V SOHC 4G37 and was avaliable in the Talon DL from 93-94 its also shared with the 90-94 base laser, the 90-94 eclipse and GS (note that the eclipse GS was avaliable in a 16V edition as well which is the 4G63NA)
the engine is also shared with the Mitsubishi Cordia and the Galant
needed for swap: 6-bolt motor is preferable Turbo ECU Turbo wiring harness turbo tranny (NT tranny will work but constanty blow....the turbo one holds great) Low impedance thingy for injectors(it sits on the firewall in the middle has 4 wires going into it) coil pack and transistor FOR THAT YEAR MODEL ECU(90 or 91-94) Turbo head with all sensors like CAS, etc turbo block or NT 4g63 block turbo thermostat housing turbo manifolds (exhaust and intake) turbo intake piping turbo MAF turbo itself (duh) turbo downpipe intercooler and IC piping preferably external oil cooler from a 90 90 oil filter housing preferable if you get 91-94 stuff then oil cooler isn't needed turbo motor mounts (they are a little tougher) bov
Recommended to rebuild freshly and replace all the parts with Mitsu stuff or better. Search for rebuild info to see what all that includes (fresh sensors like knock and all is a must)
if you are going from a 90 to 91-94 tranny you will need the shifter assembly swapped....go to vfaq.com to see why

Wow, that helps a lot. So basically the 2.0 4g63T engine and trans will mount straight up? No hidden fabrication needed? If that be the case I might be going to the junkyard looking for a nice little 6 bolt.

Hope you get a nice paycheck. I was at the junkyard the other day looking for a coolant overflow for a 2g, ran into 3 1g's in the same row. Didn't check for 6 bolt but all of them had at least the block sitting in them.
Thanks for the advice though, I'm going to go check it out.

For the amount you are going to spend in swapping in a 4G63T, you could just buy a 1g AWD. You can easily find them between $1000-2000. It's your choice and all, but I personally wouldn't do it.
