1G Tryna swap 1.8l to a 4G63T

So might I ask, are you looking to try to turbocharge the 4g37 that’s in it or swap in a 4g63?

I have a 1993 Plymouth Laser 1.8l and trying to swap in a 4G63T but don’t know where or how to start.

Yes it's been done. If you're asking what you will need that's another story.

What is your mechanical skill level? lets start there.

Got two uncles that are mechanics and run their own shop. There the ones who hooked me up with the owner to buy the vehicle

This article covers most everything you need to know or consider for this swap: Installing a turbo 4G63 into an N/T 4G63 car

Starting with a 4G37 complicates the wiring section a little bit nothing that can’t be overcome. There’s a little bit at the end about starting with the 4G37 and what, specifically, needs to be addressed for that scenario. Otherwise, most of the article will hold true.

I would suggest, after reviewing the article, that if you have specific questions to post them here.

Sell it and buy a turbo car or pay someone to do the swap for you.

Other than that there is no "easier" way. You got a car that has a different engine than what you want and to change the engine you need a different wiring harness and different transmission. There's no "easy" solution to those problems.

If you're doing not capable of doing mechanical work you're in way over your head. Your uncles being mechanics is not relevant unless they're real generous and willing to help you. They will have to learn all the details of this platform to be able to do this successfully. It isn't like just fixing a car. Doing a swap is more involved as some info is only available on groups like this or by doing hours of research.
