Swapping non to turbo? help please!

[campos_racing]

Hello dsmtuners, I wanted to see if I can get some help on this, now if been in dsm's for about a year now, so im not such a noob of how these cars work, though I have a 90 eclipse gst and its actually down right now, (bad valve seals) and I'm in the process of getting it fixed, though it is the only car I have, and I really like doing everything I can to it, though I am just deciding to get it fixed and just have it as a reliable car for now, no doing any modifications that can then lead me to having no car again. I am searching for a 2g, though maybe not a working one, as in my project car, so dont mess with my 1g no more, and Ive found some in my price range or more like something I can afford, I work at pizza hut and 18yr old and cant to much right now, I still go to school though. Well back to the topic, I found 2 as of right now, though they are probably 420a, and or 4g63 N/A, and my question is, how hard is it to swap a 4g63t to a non turbo eclipse? Is it to much of a hassle? Should I wait to buy a turbo version instead? or should I swap my current 6 bolt of my 1g to the 2g I plan on buying, since my 1g is complete and all, well all I'm looking for are suggestions from you guys/girls, I searched the forums here but nothing is to specific though, thanks for helping!

4g63 into 420 car..Not worth the hassle..

Sell yours and buy a turbo model.

well the problem is I really need 2 cars, one as my daily and the other as where I can work on it and not have to rush on things since its a project car. Just testing to see what you guys think.

You can do an SRT4 swap. Ive seen a few,and it's a decent option.
See if you can get a wrecked one from an insurance company. You'll have motor,tranny,harness and PCM.

a couple of years ago i attempted placing my 4g63t in a 420 2g shell..couldnt find a gst shell at the time........... worst decision ever i had to cut the motor mounts weld the 4g63 mounts and when i thought i was almost finished my tranny was almost touching the floor....not worth the hassle trust me i even went as far to cut my sunroof off my wrecked gst shell and swapped it over... that was easy and came out perfect ...
but if you find a nt 4g63 you can swap in a 4g63t with minimal issues

Your profile says you have spyder, those have a 4g64 which is very similar to the 4g63. Its not like swapping a 4g63 into a 420a car. It could possibly even have the the original engine with a 4g63 head swapped onto it.
