Use the SEARCH function.  You'll find MANY threads on this
subject.  Basically they all say "don't do it, it's not
worth the hassle."

i understand that this is your second post, which is why i am
choosing to be a nice human being.  please use the search
function first before posting, as there is a wealth of
information in the database.

concerning your question: 
it is EXTREMEMLY difficult to swap in a 4G63 into a 2GNT.  if
you are looking to be innovative, go for it.  but if you just
want to go fast, either get a turbo kit for your 420A (non
turbo motor), or sell your 2GNT and get a GSX.

welcome to the board.

The true answer is Yes, Is it worth it...?

NO

I know a guy who is doing it, 3 shops, 5k and 6 monthes later, Its in running, but still has to work out the bugs and such.

Tach doesnt work, wlectrical problems etc.
