That is because there is NO KIT TO DO THIS SWAP the amount of money you spend on doing this swap would be around 5000$$ you need motor ,transmission, ECU & harness and alot of other crap and with all that money to have a stock monot in your car you can get a turbo kit and re-build your intrenals and be alot faster and have more HP. IT IS NOt WORTH IT the 420a is a bad ass motor and will put out alot of hp with the right mods. You don't need a 4g63 motor to be fast!!!!

140,000 mkiles on it? i heard if i put a new bottom end in it, and replace the internals, its basically like new? or did i miss somethign else? ide like to keep my 420A but the poor thing has 140K miles on it. just askin. lemme kno!

 

[DSM-ZERO]

140K on a 99 RS OMFG!!!!!
Yes if you re-build it will be like new. There are several companys out there that make re-build kits for our car go to www.howellautomotive.com or try www.rpmxtreme.com once you do that you can go turbo. If I were you when you do your re-build also do LSD and clutch while everything is out. No sence on thanking everything out twice. What turbo kit do you want??

 

[Lts_Fly7]

i wasnt sure what to go with...thanks for the links, and ya i kno, my car has HELLA lot of miles, the guy who owned it before me babyed it, but he drove to St. Louis from the very southern tip of Illinois everyday twice a day(basically 3 hr drive each way) y..i dont kno..but he did...so he ripped the miles up on the thing....HELLA bad. but its cool, again thanks for the links, ill check em out, i really appreciate it, as far as turbo? i was thinkin maybe a stage 2 hahn, or Star. i'm not sure, what do ya suggest? ide appreciate any help.

 

[DSM-ZERO]

They both have up's and down I say star because that's what I have. www.overbooststore.com or www.imoto.com. I have a Star kit but I have upgraded the turbo. I had it custom built to my spec's from www.turbochargers.com and it is a nasty nasty turbo very EVIL inside.

I use my computer at work all day so that is how I go on line. PM me for Q's I'll answer as fast as I can.

 

[DSM-ZERO]

8.6:1 is for turbo but you will be slow if you do this befor your turbo kit you can go 20 over that is what I plan on doing anything over 20 I think is too much.

 

[Lts_Fly7]

what bout pistons and bearings, and stuff of that nature?

 

[Lts_Fly7]

should i just go with the performance bottom end kit?

 

[DSM-ZERO]

www.howellautomotive.com this re-build kit is a real good kit for it's price.

 

[Lts_Fly7]

ya thats the one im lookin at.

what should i put for main bearing size and rod baring size?and rods??

i wish i kne more bout cars.

 

[DSM-ZERO]

not too sure what bearing size you should go with call and ask, as for Rods The eagles are good for 400-450hp but the extreme eagles will hold up to alot more hp and are worth putting up the extra $$ if you want big power out of your motor.

 

[Lts_Fly7]

kool...i dont need extreme eagles...400-450 is plenty of ponies for me
