2G 91 6 bolt 4g63t engine swapped into 97 eclipse gst

[jesse12345]

So I swapped a 6 bolt into my 97 eclipse gst but the engine is sitting in crooked and is way lower than it should be I am using the 1g motor mount because the 2g mounting holes are further apart any suggestions would be great

You have to use a 2G mount on the driver side. However, the mount needs to be grinded to allow for the 6 bolt water pump to be bolted on. Do a search for this and it should lead you in the right direction. I don't have the link right now that I used for my swap, or I'd post it for you.

Also, are you doing a full 6 bolt swap or 6 bolt short block with a 2G head?

 

[jesse12345]

Thanks for the replies and do you think the 2g mounting bracket will work on the 1g engine have both 1g motor mount and bracket same with 2g I'm doing the whole 6 bolt swap just ran into this problem

 

[spyderdrifter]

You MUST use all 2G engine mounts. It has to be this way since 6 bolt engines had the roll stop mounts attached to the block, and 2G cars have them attached to the transmission. So use the 2G mounts and it'll bolt in just fine.

Okay sweet out the engine comes again I was also wondering I'd there an adapter for the cam sensor??

This link should tell you all you need to know involving the swap.

There is a wire adapter and you can get it from a few places.

Do I need the 2g water pump too? Just making sure before I get rid of the parts car thanks for the info btw

 

[spyderdrifter]

No. Use 6 bolt pump on the 6 bolt block. 7 bolt pump won't line up.

 

[jesse12345]

Alright I hope all goes well thanks for all the help

 

[jesse12345]

Okay now I have something frying in my harness or around the 91 coil pack with the key on do I need to switch the coil pack????

 

[spyderdrifter]

Since you have a 97, you shouldn't need to swap the injector or plug firing orders. If you have the coils from the 97's original engine and you know they worked, put them in and see if it works. The 91's coils could be bad, but you'd need a multimeter to see.

 

[jesse12345]

It's only when when I turn it over I just have no idea where to start

I can still smell the burning and the car is off

 

[spyderdrifter]

Sorry for the delay, if you smell burnt wires, you need to track down what got fried and replace it. If you fried the coil wires and you attempt more start ups, you could risk an engine fire.

 

[jesse12345]

Okay I'll try to find where it's coming from all the wires are fine smoke was coming from under the intake I couldn't feel anything hot but I heard sizzling thanks for the help btw

 

[spyderdrifter]

Smoke from the intake manifold or the air filter area? (No problem)

 

[jesse12345]

Yeah but underneath and that 97 motor mount bracket doesn't work there's a stud in the way and it overlaps onto the water pump please help!!!!!

Well now I took the stud out but the bracket doesn't like up the water pump is in the way

The 2G mount must be trimmed to fit around the 1G water pump. That is covered in any reputable 1G engine in a 2G guide.

 

[jesse12345]

Ohhh okay that's what I was thinking thank you for the help

 

[jesse12345]

Well its all in and put together but the engine won't turn over at all now and it did a day ago so I have no idea where to begin

 

[spyderdrifter]

Was looking back through all this, any updates?

 

[jesse12345]

Had to customize the 97 motor mount and one of the plug in wasn't plugged into the starter I do not own this car any me I own a built 95 gsx
