best place to get a used 4g63t (89-94 6 bolt)

DesertTuner · Feb 24, 2010

so ive been looking around for awhile now and cant find any place that seems reputable that sells 6 bolt 4g63t's. i preferably want it to have all the parts still attached (mani, intake, turbo, ps, ac, alt, fuel rail, trans).

long story short my stock SOHC motor in my 97 civic ex got bad rod knock and it toast, so instead of driving around the old pickup which gets 15mpg while i save the 2800 bucks for a GSR motor for my civic my parents decided to fix the ole talon TSI awd for me to drive while i save up the money.

Thanks for the help people.

i found a complete motor, 6 bolt, comes with everything i listed (alt, mani, intake, tubro, ac comp, ps pump, fuel rail, awd trans 5 speed, all sensors, injectors, etc) and all that guarenteed for 30 days for 1399 + 200 for shipping. The motor from the car im talking about blew a timing belt and toasted the head, valves, cams, rockers, pistons, and possibly the rods. sooooo 1399 sounds alot cheaper.

DSMified92 · Feb 25, 2010

i doubt it breaking a timing belt destroyed the motor like u said. unless u were beating on the rev limiter when it happened. valves head and maybe pistons. the rods are fine because me personally have not experienced a broke rod in a dsm i bent one into a U LOL

and not a single crack in it....damn rod bolts.

DSM1G90 · Feb 25, 2010

Do a search on JDM motors - sometimes they have all the stuff attached to these units ....

you can doubt that it did that but i can show you the head and the rest of the internals from the top end if you like. just gotta dig them outta storage. And no, no rev limmiter, i was doing 55 in a 50, 5th gear, cruising, all the sudden it started powering down, brake pedal became a wall, steering was non-existent. Got towed, pulled the head off, every exhaust valves was bent up against the head and had cracked the pistons, each one, at the valve reliefs. The exhaust rockers were all destroyed, intake and exhaust cam were both severely scored and 2 cam caps were broken.

yes im sure it sounds crazy since i was just cruising but i have 3 people that were with me that can verify this fact and it was just VERY bad luck that all that damage was done. After just getting a new head ill almost be up to the price of a used motor.

Well why would you want to upgrade a civic when you have a much better prospect in the Talon sitting there with a 4g.
I mean come on kid, think about it for a minute. $2800 for a good motor for your civic. and just the motor, maybe making 150 horse, I don't know.
But, fore $1600 you've got a new motor for your Talon, not to mention it's a 4g63, rated the 2nd best I4 ever built. And you've got a turbo sitting in the car that just needs to be bolted up, so you're up 50 horse on the civic already, and with another $150 you can add another 50 horse. Where as a gain of a 100 horse from your civic will cost a grand. **and, you'll have a spare block out of the car as a project. I don't know how much of a car guy you are, but that would be ####ing awesome. And even though it's destroyed, it will make 500 horse someday without a problem. Let me know if you want it off your hands.

MY1GDSM · Feb 25, 2010

Even with everything that you said is wrong it would be cheaper to just fix it your self IMHO
i'd throw a set of new pistons in and pick up a good head, head gasket, an a set of Arp head studs and be done with it. I bet you the bill comes in way less then $1600. Then you could still buy the whole motor/tranny setup for over a grand less the the Gsr motor and put i in your Honda Lol and save a bunch more money and go faster....

You'll have a tough time finding a 1993 or 1994 6-bolt....they don't exist.

ramsack · Feb 25, 2010

you'd be surprised at what you could find at the junk yards

Gasolinebaptism · Feb 25, 2010

ya know Desert Tuner, I was serious. If you want that block off of your hands I'll take care of it, I'll be reeeeaaalllly good to it.

no dont want it off my hands, secondly the talon is my moms and she doesnt want to part with it, third i want to turbocharge a car that wasnt from the factory for the hell of it and the bragging rights plus im a die hard honda guy.

just saying, the talon is ONLY getting a new motor unless my parents want to give it to me then i might invest into it a bit, but its just going to be for me to drive around instead of driving the old truck that gets 16mpg.

and i looked into all the parts id need and they are right around 1200 bucks, so why not get a whole nother motor, with a good alternator and all the other components that can be used later if something happens. and for only another 400 dollars more i might ad.

thanks for the help i guess, only 3 people or so stayed on topic. yay! :thumb:

You'll either get hooked or hate it.
Depends on how much of a car guy you are.
Something will break and you'll do one of two things, run to mommy and tell her that her car broke, or you'll rub your hands together and get dirty, get invested, and that Honda will sit for awhile. A LONG while.

what the #### is your problem man? im a certified mechanic, motorcycle mechanic, but a engine is an engine. I have no problems getting my hands dirty but i dont have alot of money, and liking honda's doesnt make me any less of a car guy, but you insinuating that does make you alot more of a douchebag.

stay out of my threads from now on. Thanks.

You could check out Kar King Karking.com
They have reconditioned motors with limited warranties, I believe.

checked it out and its 1450 for a rebuilt motor, pretty good deal, 6 month warranty too, but you gotta have a good core to sent them, and my engine is damaged.

I'm sure they would take it in as a core, if not that is what a core charge is for.

On a side note Can Any One tell me what is not right in this pic?

They say it it includes Everything But the Valve Cover and Oil Pan but their is something else missing in that pic

It could be a Very costly mistake if you get a Motor from them and don't pay attention to what is NOT included

Cleaned up a few off-topic posts in here.

Everyone, please keep in mind the OP's original question, and for those who can't get past the word "Honda" that appears in the first post as backstory and not the main focus of the topic at hand, I'll repeat the question:

my post was entirely on topic. Just because you dont agree that 7 bolts are better doesnt mean you get to delete my post. I'll say it again though try car-part.com for a usdm engine or Flashoptions.com or osakajdmmotors.com or tigerjapanese.com for jdm engines which are cyclone motors so you get the 550 injectors cyclone intake mani, and 16g turbo. :thumb:
