#7002, "RE: A choice : turbo Kit or stock turbo engine"
In response to In response to 11


          

I apologize for being terse. I've had a bad day, and it just pisses me off when uneducated people start throwing huge numbers around. By uneductated, I mean not having researched this specific engine swap. The way I see it, don't talk like you know unless you know. I brought this up, because no one knows. That much is obvious. I don't know either. I am pretty sure that I could do the swap if I wanted for around $4000-4500 with everything. Just an estimate adding up the parts, not including labor as I would do it myself. Labor cost could easily make the swap unfathomable. Swapping engines isn't difficult though. Many of the guys on here have had their own motors out w/o too many problems. It's an awfully easy motor to get out compared to what I'm dealing with. Little 4-banger is a lot easier than a V-8 in a lot of respects, but a lot more wiring. The only thing that scares me on the swap is the wiring and ecu. Yuck.

I have to say, I bought a GS over a GS-T/X with the thought of turbo'ing it with a Hahn kit. If I wanted a GS-T, I would have bought one. 4g63 cars do have one huge advantage over us... a multitude of available parts at a lower price than what we pay. There's also a much larger knowledge base to tap into as there are many more 4g63 owners out there than turbo'd 420a owners. We can learn from them, and they can learn from us.

Forget I even mentioned the swap. Will never happen again.
