Only the usdm and the 1g gsr4 were turbo 4g cars.
The 2g euro were n/t 4g cars. And some 1g oversees cars were non turbo. Might be the 1.8l tho.
Ohh the galant gsx were AWD n/t 4g cars as well.
For sh××× and giggles tho. My 05 hundai has a n/a 4g63. Kias, hyundais mostly did come with the na 4g.
What Hyundai do you have?
Curious since I've pulled a few Kia heads from g4js motors to play with, and tho they share alot of the same architecture, they're short block is notably different from the 4g63 (Evo/3g style) they mimic. I know Hyundai and Kia have several models that were just slightly changed 1g/2g 4g63s, 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 variants, have a few heads from them also, haha.
1g dsm's came with a na 4g63.
Euro spec 2g's came with a na 7bolt.
And many other cars, such as galants, sonatas, rvr, summit wagons all came with a version of a naturally aspirated Sirius engine...
Well what's the point of an N/A 4g63 if they already have a 420a?
The better question is "What's the point of an 420A if they already had a N/A 4g63"?
The answer had to do with corporate politics and maybe cost savings.
I think history has lost sight that the 420a wasn't a bad motor, it's was just nothing compared to the legendary 4G63T.
My perspective is simple, this created long term segmentation. Imagine what things would be like if all of the domestic 2G's had 4G63 in them like the international market. All those shells waiting for heart transplants...
