I have a question for you guys. I have a friend who has a GS-T engine, transmission, and computer for $800. The engine itself has 1200 miles on it. Right now I have a 97 RS with 96k miles on it. If I do the swap, it will be next summer so I can save up for a crotch rocket while the car is being worked on. I know that the website recommends just buying a GS-T but I like to stand out and I know of no one who has done the swap where I live. I live in upper East Tennessee and the most decked out car in town would be a Honda Civic hatchback with a Sniper bodykit on it. There are two Eclipse's around that are fixed up. Right now I have the fastest one. I want it to be faster! I owe $5700 on the car. If I got a GS-T, I planned on selling it and taking out a loan for one. I want a GS-T Spyder so bad but insurance and payments are stopping me. Plus if I do the swap, I will have time to get all the little things for the swap, plus upgraded turbo and front mount intercooler. What would you guys recommend? I would really like to hear from people who have done the swap.

owned. do a search first there noobie

BWAHAHAHA!!! PWN3D!!! Hey yourinmybutt. 987. Keep up the whoring:thumbsup.

uh oh, i hope dino dosent read this :nono

dude. you have a 420a. why in the hell you you want to put in an outdated all around shitty motor? If I was going to put a different motor in my car it would be the 2.4l turbo motor from the srt-4. It would be even more of a pain in the ass, but actually worth it. The 420a has just as much if not more potential then the 4g63 IMO.


Here is what you do. I saw this video where a guy took an old ass beater mitsu pickup and put the turbo 4g63 in it. Its a simple swap because THAT 20 YEAR OLD TRUCK HAS THE SAME FUCKING MOTOR. so having a turbo little pickup truck would be fun and it would be a sleeper for sure. If you want your car to be fast just turbo the 420a, you wont regret it.

Hey Dino!

You should put a revolving banner at the top of the forums with all the questions we've seen a hundred times going across it. When a user clicks it, it takes them to the search or TWSB (things we've seen before). It might save you some bandwidth over time. :P

dude, dont listen to these assholes!

the 4g63 bolts right up... happy swappin! :rolleyes.

wow man you just dissed my engine so i will diss the 420A !!!!!!!!

if you think that all you have to do to make a 420a fast is to buy a stage 2 kit from hahn, well my friend you are wrong. a rebuild is ESSENTIAL if your gonna be out pushing it hard every night. by no means is the 4g63 a shity motor, even the 7 bolt is designed WAYYYY better than a 420a. try changing out a headstud on a 420a will ya?

actually the 420a has more potential cause the 4g63 already has a turbo and intercooler. as far as going all out on a 420a, a stroker kit is the way to go. BUT there are new 2.4 stroker kits out for the 4g63 too. I will say this, there is no way in heel any one can match bryndens 2.6

im not sayin the 420a is a horible motor, chrysler just should have designed it better, done more research on it

Also the 4g63 motor from the new evo does bolt right in smart ass!!!!!!!! :o

Umm no it doesnt.

umm yes it does

>umm yes it does

No it doesnt, the Evo 1-3 engines will bolt right in, but the 4-8 engines have the timing gears and timing belt on the opposite side of the car.

LMAO! You guys are funny. BTW, I second the idea of the revolving banner thing. Thats a good idea imo.

That would probably be Eric Plebani. He is known for dropping the 4g63 into many different cars, including that Mighty Max pick-up truck, and even a Porsche. Pretty cool stuff. He's also #57 on the "Fastest DSM Drag Times Page" with an 11.98 in his 90 Talon AWD.

There's a little clip about Eric and his 4g63 powered pick-up truck in the special features on one of the Tecademic's DVD's.

Actually, the newer Evo engines will bolt in. They won't, however, plug in. As for the 4G63, there are a lot of great things about that motor. It's virtues include a baffled oil pan, strong internals, and a mostly closed deck. The 420a, however, has the advantage of a bedplate design and fewer parts. The reduced parts count improves the servicability of the motor. As for the head stud comment, there is never really a need to replaqce a head stud, and the nut can be reached without pulling a cam. Just hafta go through the hassle once to remove the head bolts and put ARP head studs in instead.

anyways..enough of the gay arguing. back on topic. you can't swap a 4g63 turbo motor into a 420a engine bay very easily.. yes it is possible but realisticly it's a pain in the ass. You'd be better off saving all that money for the swap and putting a turbo kit on your RS. If you aren't comfortable with doing that then just sell your RS and buy a GST/GSX. Hope this answers your question.
