4G37 to 4G63

I searched but didn't find exactly what I was lookin for. The motor in my 1.8 went to hell. I'm gonna put a new motor in it but if it's not too much effort I might go with the 2.0 n/a. I know I need a new ECU but what else is needed? I've found it's not the much extra for the 2.0.

Oh and I'd be doing it myself, hopefully with some help from a couple fellow dsmer's.

Your probley gonna need the full motor, tranny(possibly shift linkage), ecu (possibly wire harness as well, unsure though), and motor mounts.

I knew wire harness too. I found a motor that's gonna have a 1 year warranty with 36k on it, and tranny out of the same car with same mileage for $795 shipped. I also found a 1.8 for it with tranny with 45k for $695 shipped. I'm guessing maybe $1,000 and I could convert it to a 2.0 n/a.

I thought that the trannys from the 1.8 would fit the 2.0 blocks.

 

[luv2eclipse]

I'm not sure.... but I can get a motor with the tranny for next to nothing.

 

[luv2eclipse]

Has anyone ever done this before?

if your going threw all that trouble to go from 92hp to 130hp why not go all the way and look into a turbo motor and tranny, if i was going threw all of that i know i would want to go turbo

 

[t3t4dsm]

ye i would go ahead and get the turbo motor .like gst motor and ####

 

[luv2eclipse]

They cost about twice as much, and I already have a turbo dsm. I don't wanna go all out again I just need to get it running again so my mom can take it to work. So the 1.8 or 2.0 n/a will do just fine. I don't think my mom is gonna be racing to work, .

you do need the trany, the two are diferent, you will also most likely need axles, not to sure though.

if its not for speed and if its for a daily driver, just put the 1.8 in...i used to have a 1.8 and loved it due to the fact that if a timing belt broke, it wouldn't cost me a bunch of money for broken valves/misc head pieces, not to mention possibility of messing up the block...stay 1.8 if its not for performance, a bit less maintence needed than a 2.0...but then again, all DSMs love that special attention..haha..pz

im gonna put a 2.0 turbo in my car also, i was wondering will the 5 speed tranny in mt 1.8 liter eclipse bolt to the turbo engine, i got a complete wrecked talon to swap all parts needed to do the transing of parts. so it will be cheaper for me to do this than buy a turbo car instead

 

[Laser-man]

no 1.8 transmissions dont fit 2.0 engines

 

[luv2eclipse]

Thanks. What else do I need?
