g4cs swap

[Meinleat]

i was just wondering is there any advantages of swapping a 4g63 for a g4cs is there any hp gain ?? thanks

Go ahead and search g4cs and they'll will be plently of threads detailing the pros and cons of swapping to a 6 bolt 2.4 from a 2.0.

You will produce an over all larger amount of torque because of the larger displacement. It depends on your goals with the engine. I have seen 600hp and some change but a torque number that was very close in comparison. If your goals are to make big power numbers I would run a huge turbo to offset the bottom end power because the amount of torque that certain turbo vs 2.4 set ups will destroy a drive train in a heart beat. I have seen one person in particular go through 5 or so transmissions running an hx40 pro. He even had several shep stage4 transmissions and they still couldnt take it. On the highway he would boost in 5th gear and it would shear the teeth right off the gear.

I think if you were to run a smaller turbo and would flow overall less air it wouldnt be so hard on the drive train or if you went with a monster so the lag would offset the torque lower in the rpm band but even that is sketchy. Prepare for a dogbox if you want that set up too last.

If you are not looking for really high power, It is the best thing you can do.
I am building a g4cs, But this is only for a Daily Drive, so it will not see the track.
If you have a g4cs on a side, I would say, go for it, But the hard part is not to build it, But to find it, which g4cs are hard to find (low budget). \

To answer your question, the g4cs will spool faster and will have more torque as people have mention, But you will not be able to rev to high, This is the best set up for a Daily Drive (Street).

The main thing you'll gain is torque and faster spool. What you'll lose is more transmissions, so tune it to make the torque come on a little 'softer' if your using a turbo that hits hard.

I havent seen very many for a good price, if money isn't an issue there are deffinatly a few different ways you could go and this isn't a bad one at all.

Your question is a bit vague. Are you just wondering what advantages there are to dropping in a stock longblock G4CS? Or a stock shortblock G4CS? Or building a G4CS versus the 4G63?

I'll say the difference is torque power due to the displacement.
