Ok I am getting ready to do a motor swap for a person by me. This is the story the guy brought a 93 eclipse like mine, and it had a blown motor which previous owner took out leaving the whole wiring harness intack. But the problem is he got a 95 eclipse 4g63 turbo motor for next to nothing. The 95 motor is complete with the wiring harness and icp, san sidemount, and motor mounts. He wants to put the motor in his 93 is this possible? Which wiring harness should i use? And will the 1g motor mounts work or 2g mounts be needed? The 93 was a non-turbo car I already know he needs to get a 1g turbo ecu, and 1g fmic kit. Will I be able to use the whole 2g motor or will I have to fine parts for a 1g 4g63 turbo (ie.. Intake, exhaust mani,coil packs, ). I want to do this right and not have any problems, but I think this is going to be a challenge.

Any info or advice with this would be great. This will be a first swap like this for me I have done 6 bolts into a 92. And swapped a 2g 4g63 turbo into a non-turbo 2g. But nothing along the lines of a 2g into a 1g.

so your saying you've swapped a 4g63 into a 420a powered car, but think that swapping a turbo 4g63 into a non turbo 4g63 car will be a challenge?
