Decided to go turbo

[Sepison]

Should I upgrade my 4g64 or go with a 4g63T?

 

[madmstr]

Why not upgrade the 4g64 to turbo? I don't know one person that has regretted turboing their car. I guess the question is how fast do you want it to go?

Deleted, wrong information.

If you're talking about that spyder gs, you have a 420A motor. Most people will recommend to sell the GS for a 4g63 (GST/GSX/or Talon) if you would like to tinker with a turboed DSM.

WTF

The Spyder GS came with a 4g64 not a 420a

And boost the 4g64. They take boost pretty well in stock form. And the 4g63 parts bolt right up so its a fairly straight forward process.

Id upgrade the head of the 4g64 to a 2.0 4g63t.

Id want to push atleast 400 horses

You have to rebuild the engine and go fully forged internals with special hybrid pistons to go dohc with a turbo. Using a 63 head gives a 64 a cr of around 10:1, much too high for turbo use on cast pistons.

Your cheapest option would be to buy a running donor 2g turbo car, and swap over the complete drive train and engine/ecu harness and ecu. This is the route I went

Ah, thought all GS models had the 420a. Thanks for the heads up.

Had no idea the compression ratio went that high with the head swap. Much higher than 8.5:1 and even higher than 7.8:1 .

Probably why they're rated at 250Hp when you do a "stock" swap.

Crazy compression with a 4g64.

Yeah ill probably find a donor 2.0 and do that, by the way, why do you need to change the harness?

Are there that many different sensors?
