Jdm Mitsu 4g63t ???

[clipise]

my engine went awhile ago. and i was looking around online and i came accross JDM MITSU 4G63T for $1,399. its going to be shipped from japan. it comes w/ the engine and trans. and it has between 33,000-55,000 miles on it. is it worth buying? or should i get a reguler U.S engine? is it any better then the U.S model? plus i have a automatic, so i would have to convert it to stick. and how hard is that?

i forgot to add, i have a 1991 talon AWD tsi

please give me ur knowledge about this engine and ur profeesional opinion!!!

thanks,
john

What I know about the JDM 4G63T, the head flows slightly more than the USDM version. The bottom end, I believe is the same. If you are lucky, you'll get the 16G equipped engine. In addition to that, you will also get the Cyclone intake manifold as well..

Im pretty sure the head is the same.

The cyclone mani is worthless without everything to control it.

All importers will say 30k-50k on their motors. The actual motor may be anywhere from 20k-200k.
