eclipse vr4 swap

I saw a thread not too long ago someone was trying to do a vr4 swap and i just stumbled across this on youtube - kind of a waste of time and money if you ask me but to each his own i guess
YouTube - gsx eclipse vr4 swap

thats intense. I didnt think it would actually fit

Props...but man that intercooler came close to hitting the ground a few times...

I think it would be pretty cool to have that swap. Props to whoever did it.

That's not a VR4 engine. A VR4 is a 6G72TT. It appears that that thing is SOHC also, though I could be wrong there. Looks interesting though.

that car is in orlando and it's for sale. I'm looking to buy a gsx with income tax next month and was wondering the pros and cons with the swap. would it be worth the investment or should i just go ahead and try to find a true gsx with a 4g63

I'd say it depends how much he wants for it and if it was done right. I don't know much about the swap, but I don't think I wouldn't buy it. I would much rather have an ordinary gsx, but that's just me.

i think i'm with ya. i'm pretty sure he was asking 4500 for it. It is original and I like what he did, but at the same time I want to stick to the basics for now.

i go with the 4g63 also it will be easier to work with the Vr4's are pretty fast but is a pain on the a@@@ working on it...

 

[konvict1981]

that's what i was thinking. Which leads me to my next question. Can you guys please help me find a GSX 2G. I'm looking to buy one with income tax. The wife is giving me 5000k to work with. I don't mind if it has mods it just needs to be in good condition. I've found a nice GST in Orlando but I want a GSX. So please can anyone help me.

I was hoping for a Variable Radius-4 swap

Odd spot to show off the car.
