[Colorep]

I have a 1997 eclipse spyder gs 4g64 not the 420a it needs a rebuild and a clutch I wana swap it to a gst ive read on other fourms I can get the 4g63t motor and trans and it should swap rite in supposedly I know I need the engine the trans the ECU the harness and the intercooler and some pillar guages but i want to get the whole motor with as much assembled as posible other than that I have no clue where to go from or where to get everything i need help building a parts list and finding where to get the parts I'm going paycheck to paycheck so price is also a factor

It's not worth it as they don't swap directly. Especially if you are paycheck to paycheck don't do it. Replace the clutch and drive it as a daily, save up and get a GSX as you will want AWD when you get a GST.

Just build the 4G64 and use the 4G63 head. I feel like that's been done a bunch of times. Google how to do it and see if you get anything.

O I'm sorry didn't realize you where a spider. ok, then yea I vote on the 4g64 with 63 head as chumpaumpalump said.

I just did my 6bolt swap on my gs spyder.I ended up using a 95 ecu and harness every thing hooked up just fine. but the gs spyder wire harness will also work you just needs a knock sensor wire and the injector suppersser (not sure what it's called) and an ecu. I changed mine because of a bad harness from a small fire

I found this

Thanks guys I've decided to build the 4g64 bottom end and swap in the 63 head. I've ordered pistons and rings and arp head studs and I know I need to plug some oil lines. but do I have to make my own head gasket or can I buy one? Also do I need to change my connecting rods or are the stock ones good also can I just use stock 4g63 turbo manifold? I also was wondering what ECU to use or do I definitely need a tune because that shit is expensive the closest tuning shop is 4 hours away?
