Need info on what size motor i can put in my 94 eclipse

[Jeff_boudreau19]

I have a 94 mitsubishi eclipse with a 1.8 non turbo. I was wanting to get more power out of or put a 2.0 in it and i was just wondering what the best way to go is.

Best thing would be to sell it and buy one with a 4G63T.

Or, keep it since it actually runs and then buy a 4g63t that does not run. now you can chase parts all day fixing the other until it is up and running.

I think you have about two or three feet to deal with in there.

Odd that no one's asked about swapping engines before this. WTF

 

[talonESturbo]

put a 4g63t motor on it

 

[numlock666]

if it can be done in a colt, it can be done definitely in a 1G

 

[Jeff_boudreau19]

thanks for the info!

Hell if your gonna swap why not go VW1.8t diesel and forget smog forever

That's just not right.... funny though

As the others have stated, you are better off with getting one that already is set for the larger engine.
You could swap for a 4g63T or get an entirely built 2.3L stroker, but you're just adding muscle to a system that is not built for that rigor.

For instance, the braking system and the transmission aren't quite up to the power, so you would have to upgrade those as well. You would end up dropping so much money into getting everything else up to par... you would pay less by just starting with something meant to handle a little more.

yeah I think im going to just look for a 95 and up.

you can pick up a 90'-92' awd for fairly cheap. i got ripped off on mine paying 3000 a year ago.

The braking system in the 1.8 car is the same as the braking system in a FWD turbo car.

There is alot more to swapping a 4g63t into a 1.8 car then the 2.0 n/t car. If you go that route be preparred for long nights. As you have to swap everything out not run a couple wires and call it a day. I would keep it as a dd then get a turbo car. And this is coming from someone that did the swap in a 2.0 n/t car.
