Posted by SurfeRStuD, Aug-25-03 05:24 PM
Well i was crusing friday night and I killed my engine and it is totally screwed. I was planning in getting a 4g63 but, i would have to do some modifying to my car. What kind of engine do you all think i should get?

How screwed? Did you 'window' the block? Is it repairable? Give us some details so we can help you out.

Can I install a GS-T engine in my NT?
Yes, but it is an extremely difficult and very expensive operation. It would be necessary to change the motor mounts, install a GS-T tranny, and finally change the whole wiring harness and ECU. It would be better to sell the car and just buy a GS-T. Here is a breakdown of the components and approximate costs:
1. 4G63 turbo engine (stock) $1500
2. transmission (stock GS-T FWD) $500
3. wiring harness for engine $300
4. 4G63 ECU (stock) $300
5. shift linkage $200
6. custom engine mounts $200
7. chassis cross member $100
8. complete exhaust $200
9. intercooler, turbo, related parts $500
10. boost gauge/fuel filter, etc $300
11. Installation $1500
This totals $5600, and doesn't include unforeseen obstacles in the installation. For about $2000, you should be able to get over 100 hp out of the stock 420A motor with porting, valvetrain and electronics modifications. As well, for the cost, it is cheaper to turbocharge for 420A motor with a bolt on kit.

Get a SR20DET haha, I'd love to see that the 4g63s nemesis in an eclipse :P
I hope you know I'm joking but hey if you got money you could do it but I hear SR20s are bulletproof in stock form, they were rediculously overbuilt to withstand horsepowers up to like 400 HP.

The owner of FTY (Scott) put down 490 whp on his 1g talon with stock 1g rods and stock 2g pistons. I'd say the 4g63 is built pretty tough too ;).
