2G 96 gs eclipse has a 4g63

[eli96talon]

I bought my wife a running 96 eclipse "gst" yesterday off craigslist.I looked at the car and it had a 4g63t but when I looked at the tittle and vin on the car it is non turbo chasis.the guy I bought it from said they had swaped in the 4g63 motor.I payed 1,100 shipped to my house cause it had a bad transmission.i know its possible to swap it in but I had never seen a swap like this in person,let alone own one.the ecu is a black plastic,so im assuming its from a 98 or 99 gst/gsx.ide like to know what are some things I can look for to see if the swap was even done right or if its need more stuff to make it a solid swap.

Any pictures of the motor mounts?
I do like how you have the 1995 absorption block thingey attached to your driver's mount.

 

[eli96talon]

Nope no pics of the mounts. ill give you the block thinging if you like it that much

I think the motor had been swapped but that was not an NT car to begin with. The vin will tell you what it is. So somebody put a 97 up motor in it or at least a 97 up CAS. What is the VIN? Do you know how to decode the vin? Doesn't matter what the title says, somebody key entered it. The VIN number is the key.

 

[eli96talon]

Yes that is what they did,they put a 97 and up cas in it but left the 96 ecu.what kind of issue would this cause with the car? It has a miss and when I unplug the 97 and up cas the car stays on.are these some symptoms of trying to wire in a 97 and up cas?also I have a way of geting a 95 cam gear,I was wanting to put the cas back on the right side of the head like it should be.ill pm you two guys the vin so you can tell me what's up with it.

 

[zcoh2gdsm]

if you have a 97+ cas and a 95-96 ecu you need to switch the firing order.

 

[eli96talon]

I really don't want to swap the firing order.I rather just put the cas back where its supose to be.any idea why the car stays running why when I disconnect the 97+ cas...

What are the 5th and 8th digits of your VIN?

 

[eli96talon]

I had one of the wise men on here help me decode the vin # and it is in fact a gst eclipse.that makes me happy

 

[19Eclipse90]

For everyone else, the first 11 digits of the VIN were: 4A3AK54F1TE.

Swapping the firing order is as simple as changing the order of spark plug wires at the coil if that's necessary: swapplugwires [ECMTuning - wiki].

Not sure why the car continues to run while the CAS is unplugged, though. The ECU should recognize it isn't receiving the input signal and shut off the fuel supply shortly thereafter (~4 seconds).

 

[mchustle]

Are you sure that Cas is really not hooked up and it has the stock 95-96 Cas behind the cam gear? Just a thought though.

 

[mchustle]

Also the 97 has a metal ecu and new style Cas.

It could have been imported. Euro 2G's came with a N/T 4G63.

Check post #32-34.

Clearly a USDM VIN; clearly a turbo VIN.

He might be quoted me (post #22).

Yeah, about as much as he might not have been quoting you since he didn't quote anyone.

Just sayin'.

 

[eli96talon]

Well I looked behind the cam gear and it has no cas sensor behind it.when I pulled the 97+ cas out of its housing it was full of oil and the housing was all dirty.maybe the sensor is bad,but im still leaning more towards it use to have a 95-96 cas in it.I can clearly see where someone undid the harness and cut the cas plug off then extended the wires to the opposite side of the head and reconnected to a new plug.they didn't even extend the wires enough to reach all the way.you have to pull on the harness a little to get the plug close enough to the 97+ cas sensor.

So that means this thread is resolve now that you find out is a gst.
