Engine Serial Number [Merged 7-9]

[nh98gsx]

so i got a rebuilt engine from ATK and they sent the wrong one, the cam position sensor was on the pulley side, and the oil cooler was different. I have the engine serial number can any one either direct me to where i can find out what engine this is ( i've looked at VFAQ and couldn't find the info)
Engine Serial Number:
W5M332MUZT

and under it was:
AP5182

someone please help.
Thanks again.

 

[nh98gsx]

looking at the number closer it looks like that is the trany. number. how can i find out what engine i recieved.

 

[nh98gsx]

i found the actual engine number, 4A3AK54F9WE...
So it looks like the the block is a 1999 turbo for FWD, but the head had the cam position sensor on the pully side so the head may be a 1995 to 1997. is there any way to find out what year the head is from? my concern is that i have an GSX what are the engine differences for FWD and AWD? Will this engine be able to handle the torque required for AWD?
The things that had to be changed to get it to work: the switch of the cam position sensor and the oil cooler.

Ok.... I called a bunch of Junk Yards. And all their talon engines don't have years they have SERIAL numbers....




I know you look on the drivers side door for the serial correct?

what I want to know is can someone tell me what to look for in the serial?


anyone have a run down of the the numbers mean?


like what number is the year... what number means it's turbo?


because all the engines only have serial numbers. HOW can I tell if an engine is TURBO or Not?


I need as much info as possible thanks.

Hm. I guess you're trying to do this over the phone. From the chassis VIN, the 8th digit is Y for N/A, and F for turbo.

I'm not finding a distinction in the engine serial numbers. Otherwise, if the intake's gone, you'd look for piston oilers, or a sign of the oil supply for the turbo on the oil filter housing.

 

[xsabrewulf]

Is a VIN number a serial number then?



ok. do you have pics of these oilers?

like pics of what im to look for?

Im not sure what they look like :/

I looked in my Haynes Manual but I can't find them.

My friend has a 95 talon and the engine was recently swapped but we're trying to figure out what year car the engine came out of. Serial # SX8334

THnx

 

[paranoidTSi]

Ok if the crank angle sensor is located on the left side of the motor and clearly visable by the PVC valve then it is either a...1st Gen motor or a 97+ motor. 95-96 motors do NOT have the CAS on the side of the motor, it's hidden.

If the oil pan has a divit in the bottom of it, then it is probably a 90-92 6bolt motor. If no divit its probably a 7 bolt.

I don't think you'll be able to find out which year it came out of, just a general idea.

 

[Sotarts]

Try calling a dealer, they SHOULD know.

If there's a VIN stamped or plated somewhere on the motor, look it up at carfax.com , by just using "free instant record check".

Hi!

I need to prove my local dmv in norway that i have an eclipse engine in my eclipse

They need to have a document from mitsubishi usa where it says engine and turbo serial xxx-xxx are oem mitsubishi parts.. All this happened beacuse i had a bov and uicp on the car ...

What i need your help with is locating the engine(block) serial number... I need the number for mitsu usa to write the document and also i need to find it so i can show the guy that is going to inspect the car.. so i hope i can read it without raising the car..

Please help me...i won't get plates before this gets cleared up.....

Best regards
tobias

 

[dis_ill_usion]

ok I went and looked on my engine and found it right away, helps that the motor is out of the car. I found it on the front of the motor block right next the the dip stick and behind the turbo. looks like you might have to take some stuff off there to see it. but I found a couple pics of motors and circled in red where that number is to show you. (these are not pictures of my motor, I just found them in the gallery)

-if so, glad I could help
-if not, sorry I couldn't help

 

[Defiant]

Goddamned governments. They should have to prove if it isn't.

 

[tobbern]

Thanks man that really does help, at least now i know where to look ... I'll try to see if it is possible to see the serial when the car is on the ground.

At my DMV its "guilty until proven diffrently"...

Best regards
tobias

 

[tobbern]

finaly i found the numbers after washing off all the dirt:

Turbo: 49178-01030 (TD05H)

Engineblock: 4g63-KE4301

i hope this helps me...it seemed the engine serial was just ingraved not stamped is that correct?

Best regards

Hey can anyone tell me what the serial number is. Like the info on it


4g63
T04937x6


Off a get motor jdm with a evo 3 intake and manifold on it too

 

[Bud92gsx]

Did you ever find out if that was an engine out of one of those SUV's? Is that the block your talking about..

Hey I might go to beloit with a buddy on monday to take some chickens to get murdered..I might have to stop ny,but you'll probly be at work or something..

 

[95GSXT]

Yeah that is the block I'm talking about I'm think it's a jdm evo motor but I'm not to sure and it is a 7 bolt

 

[Bud92gsx]

It looks like a 7 bolt just by looking at it..Take off the tb and measure the port on the inside..If it's 60mm, its either an evo3 intake manifold, or a stock 2g ported..

If your going to drop it in your dizzum, loose the 15g turbo.. The vc says mits, so it appears to be jdm, unless the 2g said mits..But I do know the jdm galant 4g63 says mits on the top..Also, the vac line nipple thing, that goes to the bov, is not straight out, it looks like an L shape, but it could also be hacked off..

See link for 6 bolt jdm galant head..Notice the vac nipple line is hacked off..http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/problem-diagnosis/337231-what-head-combo.html

Now that I look again at your other thread..Id say 7 bolt...Possibly E3..But need to know about intake manifold..

 

[95GSXT]

I look in a book I have and evoiii intake manifold is the same because they look the same in ever way and the exhaust manifold is the same I put my stock 2g up to it and they are a little different in turbo bolt to this one is big . I would like to find out what the block serial says but not have any luck if you could find out for me I'm out of place to look got info

 

[the_mork]

I doubt the block serial number will tell you anything. It is definitely a JDM engine. Measure the internal diameter of the intake manifold throttle body inlet, if it is 52mm then you have an RVR motor. The intake manifold of an RVR is identical to that of an evo3, they are cut from the same casting and the only difference is the tb inlet bore.

Generally I thought evo3 motors had bronze valve covers but I'm not an expert at identifying them because there isn't much gain in them.


Bud92gsx, that definitely isn't a 2g manifold, the 2g manifold looks similar to a 1g manifold in that it has squared edges but it also had a provision for an MDP sensor which is a black square on the top of the IM plenum. Just letting you know in case you ever feel the need to identify semi-obscure intake manifolds.

 

[JusMX141]

Yeah that is the block I'm talking about I'm think it's a jdm evo motor but I'm not to sure and it is a 7 bolt

It's not an Evo III engine; there's really no reason to wish it was. Evo III engines didn't come with unpainted valve covers, 15G turbos, and tiny intake manifolds.

We've already told you what it was from with 99% assurance.

 

[the_mork]

If the vin came back as an Evo or Eclipse vin then he is lying to you.
