how hard is it to put this into a 99 gst

[kris_stewart10]

well i am trading my 93 gst for this engine but i want to know if it will fit perfect into a 99 gst

he said that he tried to put it in his GSX (99) but didnt do just right so he is selling it




i am wondering what he is talking about not fitting in there


Mitsubishi 4G63-T JDM Engine Eclipse Cyclone Turbo Longblock

Looks like he didn't know how to install a 6 bolt onto a 2g. Did he give any specifics as far as how far he got into the 6 bolt swap?

You have to buy a kit so the 6 bolt motor will mount up to your 7 bolt transmission.

 

[kris_stewart10]

what kit and how much

and i dont think he knew much he said he is putting a 5 bolt into his car and i was like okay you do that

so and he just said somebody told him he couldnt do it so he bought a new motor

Should bolt up just like any other 6-bolt swap.

WTF? I have never seen a 6-bolt swap kit... Unless you are talking about this: Slowboy Racing :: Engine :: DSM Engine :: Short Blocks :: 6 bolt Motor Swap Kits :: Full 2G 6 Bolt Block/Head Swap Kit The (2g)7 bolt trans will bolt up just fine to any 6bolt motor. Trust me I've got a 2g trans in my 1g right now. You will need a 1g FWD flywheel though.

Are you sure its a 6-bolt? The page he linked lists the compression ratio as 8.5:1, says the HP is 210 and torque is 214, those are all the 2G 7-bolt's stats.

 

[->PrOjEcTGS<-]

Ok. I assume it is a 6-bolt. But even then it would be even more of an easy swap...

Not too sure how many JDM Galants got a 7-bolt.

 

[delta448]

How do you know it's out of a Galant or was even a JDM engine at all? A few of those JDM engine places aren't real legit. The link in the Craigslist page has the engine listed as an Eclipse engine, not a Galant engine. I'm banking it's a 2G 7-bolt.

I'll trade you your car for my running 6 bolt and pay you $100....

 

[kris_stewart10]

wait why you want to do that

Thats the kit I was refering to.

 

[kris_stewart10]

well see i have a 6 bolt flywheel but other than that i dont think i need that kit

 

[kris_stewart10]

because i have all of it now that i look at that kit

I am going on the general consensus that the majority of JDM engines come out of the Galant. There might be a select few that come out of an EVO 1 or 2 and even more unlikely the RVR. There are many things that tell it's JDM. And take a look at all the rest of his 4G63 engines for sale. They all have the same specs. You're telling me that he doesn't have any 6-bolts? Also if you go by the pictures it's JDM no 2g Eclipse ever came with a red painted valve cover. The majority had that nasty unfinished slightly oxidized cover. The LICP goes over to the driver's side just like every other Galant or Evo 1 - 2. I would still buy it and since it probably came out of a Galant it by chance could have a small 16g on it (mine did). That is even more of a +.

In essence that's why I'm wondering how many JDM Galants received the 7-bolt?

 

[kris_stewart10]

well is everything plug and play???

that is what my main concern

i really want to know what the whole cut harness thing

how hard is it to wire up and can i use my 90 gst or 99 gst ecu for it???

If it's a 7 bolt yes it's plug and play pretty much. Depending if it has a 1g head or not. But, more than likely it's a 6-bolt and you will have to follow the guide here: http://www.magnusmotorsports.com/tech/1gina2g.pdf

 

[kris_stewart10]

well its a full 6 bolt

so it isnt going to be plug and play is it???

I would just start searching for how to swap a 6-bolt into a 2g. It's really not a hard swap. Plenty of people have done it.
