I got a 95 GS w\ a 420A

wanna swap out the motor when the current blows up but with which one.

It's Between 6-Bolt 4G63 Turbo, or a 4G64 from the spiders, and newer Eclipses

yes the 4g63 is more powerful and what not but, power really isn't everything as long as its got at least 140hp and weighs 3k or under. Price is a big thing, but if i go with the 4G63 I refuse to do a 7-Bolt just because.

More about handling since my favorite things are Auto X and Road Racing. (yes you do need power but only to a extent.)

Money isn't a factor here.
^Edit^

I not a fan of the 420a so I wont be putting in another when the current goes.

What do you guys think?

If you don't have anything nice to say don't post at all

And have you done the research on what it's going to take to put a 4g63 into a 420a-equipped car? Because, as I'm sure you know, everything is engineered 180* from each other. It's not just the engine you'd need, but the transmission, drivetrain, ECU, wiring harness, fabricated motor mounts, supporting modifications, etc. etc.

If money is an option, you're better off putting a turbo kit on your 420a, running low boost and calling it a day.
 
Thanks for the input.

Thing is, I DON'T want a 420A, 2G's w\o a Mitsu badged motor is just...not DSM to me especially since 2G's aren't really Literal "DSM's" in the first place(They are MMMA) I posted in a thread about turbocharging the 420A but everyone refuses to post back so idk. and even then once the 420A is done its done id be going 4G63T or 4G64.

and yeah I know what I need and what needs done, I'm not worried about that. (except with the 4G64 Swap)

Eclipse GST and GSX parts car w\o a title or they are totaled because of Ricers are easy to come by around here so I figured I just get everything I needed, and then order a 6 Bolt off line.

and that was a typo, Money isn't a factor. FYI ill edit it.
