hey guys,
i have a 1995 eagle talon esi, its completely stock with a 2.0 liter engine. I recently got into the mod world. I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas about a more powerful or larger motor that would be compatible with my car, but, not a common swap. i have the time and the resources, i just need some help with ideas for engines. Turbos are a plus!!! And also, if i get a motor that has a lot of torque and horsepower would it be wise to switch from FWD to AWD?
if anyone has any ideas, or advice i would gladly appreciate it!!
thank you!!

well,
i really wanted to keep the car, make something unique out of it, turn some heads. Anyone else have some ideas? But thanks for the suggestion! Im gonna consider the turbos, but not for the stock motor.

Swapping engines and drivetrains is not as easy as you may think. You will need alot of time, space and not to mention cash. In the end, it is far more worth it to just turbo your current engine or purchase a 2G AWD. Check out 2GNT.com for more info on that. If you are set on swapping engines and converting to AWD, try searching through the tech articles on this site. There are plenty of write-ups pertaining to this topic :thumb:

Your not going to tunr heads any more with that car than you would with another 2g awd. The 4g63t won't fit in the 2g n/t with out alot of work to the front end. It would be cooler to take a 3rd gen and do the evo motor and drivetrain swap. That turned my head, but it will be much more efficient, reliable, and less money just to buy a different car. I've seen one n/t to turbo motor swap and that was only because it was hit bad upfront.
 
if you have the time and resources like you say you do I would go with a 4G63 converted to run RWD and then go drifting cause you dont see many DSM's doin that
