I own a bone stock 97 spyder GS (4g64) n/t - purchased a 97 spyder AWD (converted from a 97 talon) as a donor car - it barely ran.
Gameplan: turbo 4g64 sohc and fix/build the 4g63 (or just salvage the head) to eventually swap and AWD. lots of options, i know, having said that I'm only interested in turbo'ing the 4g64 at the moment.
Parts i have swapped over:
-ecu engine wiring harness
-stock 450cc injectors and resistor pack
-fuel pressure solenoid valve
-fuel pump
My next step was to swap over the 4g63 throttle body and fire up the car but i noticed the stock 4g64 front engine fusebox harness connector is different and wont connect to the 4g63 engine harness. the only difference i have found between the 2 harnesses, the turbo harness has a connector for the 'oil pressure gauge unit' and the fusebox itself is different.
If swap over the fuse box harness, do i also need to change the interior body harness as well? or can i somehow connect the stock 4g64 fuse box and hard wire the connector for the oil pressure gauge unit?
For the oil filter housing, is there an existing oil supply line i can tap or another place to get oil supply for the turbo? Also I have a non eprom ecu (gold) will this be good enough to get me running with the sohc setup?
I realize that there is a lot more stuff todo, i.e. swap the radiator, thermostat housing, side mount intercooler and evap canister (my stock canister is under the passenger headlight and the donor car has it below the battery), swap/tap the oil pan, turbo, manifold, exhaust and all of the piping etc.
