Vee,
Im sure many of you are thinking this guy must be dumb but I havent got a lot of experience wit this. But anyways, is it possible? without any cutting just bolting on and removing?
 
No, you have a lot of work to do, not to mention a whole new motor, tranny, rear diff, all new suspension, not worth it, if you want a gsx, just buy one. Oh, ya, do a search next time please, and good luck.
 
Yes exactly what ^^^said.For one you would need a turboed motor, an awd tranny, an rear driveshaft, cut into the cat to fit the driveshaft because they made only a small channel to fit the exhaust(well atleast thats how it is on the 1gtalons), then you would have to cut into the gas tank, and fit it behind the rear drive axle, and well a lot of other stuff you would have to do. So long story short it would cost way too much to switch it over to a gsx, just buy one.

Well the answer is yes but like robs90tsi said it will take a lot of time,money and parts.

oh, and robs90tsi your supposed to give him a link and not just say "Oh, ya, do a search next time please"
 
A lot of work, time and money to do so, but it can be done. If you are like Me , you would welcome the challenge, but not too many do. If You love Your GS, I say go for it.

Actually it will also depend on 1g or 2g GS.

Right, it IS possible, but he asked if it bolted right up without any cutting, fabricating, whatever, and it does, it requires a lot of fabrication, and for the $$$, and time that he would spend to do this extensive project, he could pick up a GSX and have it modded very nicely.
 
Anything can be turned into a GSX. I helped do a 96 Avenger into a 500hp 4G63 powered AWD machine. Just take's time and dedication. But in your case, get a GSX.

Thats badass, Id love to see pics or better yet a vid of that thing in action, but like I said above, unless you want to do this and plan on it being a long term project, you have the $$, time, tools, and patience, then go for it, get yourself a parts GSX and get to work, but if you dont have all of those, then dont waste your time, because it will be a long term project.
