well we need to clear some things up it sounds like...to begin w/ stock for stock the 4g63 engine is much better, i hate to say it but it is...the pistons and rods are obviously much stronger b/c of it being boosted stock..plus if youve seen the ports of both engines the 4g63 is way bigger..but you can do some porting and polishing work to the engine and make them equivelant...they don't have to change anything to their engine internal wise to run high boost...but the 2gs do have to worry about crankwalk....almost everyone of them in my club has got crankwalk sooner or later...they have stuff to prevent it but most of the time it happens...and putting in a 1g engine is possible but a huge pain in the ace, we have one guy in our club who did it and it was an experience from what i'm told....w/ internals and porting work our engine is every bit as good as a 4g63, we dont have to worry about crankwalk either...i have walked a few guys w/ turbos in my club, its not hard w/ the right tuning and enough boost..to tell you the truth its easier to see higher gains in the factory turbo b/c the engine and ecu is made for it..slap on a big turbo, injectors and some form of piggy back (afc) and your good to go...thats 1500 compaired to the 3k for a kit, and 1500 for rebuild that we have to do...dont forget about the fwd vs awd con for the gsx owners....we have the sleeper factor though, no one expects us to wax that ass b/c it looks like a nt, plus our insurance co's dont rape us in premiums as much as they would w/ the factory turbo..each has pros and cons...our engine is very capable though
