pro's and cons ng engine swap?

[alwayz_yummy]

6A10 and 61T wont fit... baliktad ang orientation nila sa GSR, fyi.

oh..di ko alam yun,a....iba palang ikot ng makina...e sa itlog lancer pwede ang 6a10/61T

diba di lahat ng 4g63 parepareho? may magkaiba din ang orientation?

[alwayz_yummy]

un nga eh 4g92 na mivec na lang ata..kaso will it be worth it talaga? hassle ng paper works and un nga allotted na funds para sa "sakit ulo" just in case hindi sariwa ung engine..

just inspect the screw heads and ung sealant...dapat intact pa ung sealant, ungg bolt heads walang gasgas.and have your trusty friend mechanic be with you..computer box dapat kasama, ha!

paperworks? wala naman masyado yan,e...TMG clearance, may resibo ka, then xerox lang, tsaka mo palang dadalhin kung saang LTO ka niregister(ung nasa CR), wag lang sana sa main(diliman)

[alwayz_yummy]

Tamaraw FX lang po....
from 2C to 2C-T (turbo diesel), to 4A-GE...

pabigay na rin kasi yung 2C-T ko eh.... naisip ko, gasolina naman....

tapos, biglang sunod-sunod and pagtaas ng presyo ng gasolina....

kuha ka nalang nung "skeleton" w/ papers (chassis and engine change yan!)ba yun(engine+ladder chassis+everything below the chassis(in short, body lang wala) ng LC70. 4wd ka pa, 2L-te/3L-te ka pa! or sundan mo ung FX na may rover underpinnings.

pwede ba engine swap yung 95 corolla? magkano kaya?

alam ko nasa 40thou+ ang 4age....masmahal ang blacktop. 4agze naman, no idea..bibihira,e!

iba-iba din orientation ng 4G63. 1st gen nasa driver's side ang timing belt. 2nd gen, opposite side.

makina ng supra to...worth na siguro ng 2 kiapride yan!

example ng gen 1 4g63t? ung sa 6thgen galant vr4?evo 1-3? alam ko rvr super/hyper sportsgear at super opengear and chariot gt...


nga pala, then you mean driverside, LHD or RHD, para malinaw lang...

swapping engines are always a risk.

[buraot]

swapping engines are always a risk.

i agree with fafa basti..risk talaga 'coz you're altering the original design of the car...I once planned an engine swap last year, pero nagbago isip ko..risk din kasi sa budget, hehehe...

[redorange]

its for my gsr. invecs II.. i was reading past threads..and i know there are engine's that can be bolted on to my car.. mivec 2nd gen, a 4g63t from evo 4-6. im assuming that the evo engine would cost alot, so i was contemplating to on going the mivec approach. the thing is.. they say that parts are hard to find and expensive also.

doing an engine swap nonetheless is a load on your pocket, but i am wondering if it is really worth it. my reason for doing an engine swap is to have a more powerful car, without really having to buy a new one. coz i kinda like the coupe style.. plus it's yellow.^_^

so if i wont do an engine swap? what's my alternative?
tnx for the replies

Check RPW www.rpw.com.au/they sell performance parts for the GSR and the parts you'll need for the engine swap. Because you have an A/T you need to consider if your tranny can handle the extra power if you decide to go the turbo route. If you decide to go with the 4g92 make sure you get a MIVEC since they have a non_MIVEC version of the engine also.
A 4g63T swap is possible also but you have to get it from a EVO and not the Eclipse because that would require you to lose the A/C in your car if you use the Eclipse 4g63T.

FWIW I would get cams, higher compression pistons, and polished and ported heads before trying anything else. The power you get from the three combined may be enough to satisfy your need for power without the headache of a swap and you still stay N/A. Am actually in the same situation as you but I have a 4g15 on my GSR and will be getting the DOHC 16v head from RPW to convert my SOHC 12v head.

I'm planning to slap that on 97' corona.But it's a long shot since im not there and like you said it's hard to find one.

[fu_man_dave]

cams, higher compression pistons, and polished and ported heads ... so sir.. do you know of any shops that could do this? even if i still want the invecs.. can the a/t hack the extra power? also.. stock engine is also sohc.. can i replace it with a dohc ?

[niky]

ATI in Cavite. It's on the way up to Tagaytay from Santa Rosa.

They do port and polish jobs to varying degrees, and they have a flow bench to test their work with. They do overbores, high-comp piston swaps, frankensteins, etcetera. My clubmate had his RS overhauled there, the port&polish and flywheel lightening (can't do the flywheel on an AT, sorry) cost only 20+ k. That's not including the overhaul fee, mind you.

A DOHC swap may be complicated. You have to make sure your engine has the same bore and stroke as the DOHC engine you're getting your head from, and you'll have to transplant the ECU, too. Sorry, don't know much about 4Gs.

If you want to maximize power from a turbo, you might want to look at swapping out for a manual tranny (don't know about wiring issues with the INVECS, as far as I know, it's a seperate ECU)... or getting a high-stall torque converter, that locks up at a higher RPM than the stock torque converter (like 4000rpm, for example, instead of 2500...), but then, that route is for more acceleration, not tranny life. Safest route, get a transmission cooler and switch to a more stable ATF fluid.

shempre LHD...

1st gen - eclipse, vr4, rvr, evo 1-3
2nd gen - evo 4 onwards, lancer GT

kailangan mo din dito ng dealers report sa pinagbilihan mo ng engine na ipapalit mo.at siempre mga lakarin na din sa LTO

[prysm_1]

paesnsiya. na hi-jack ko yata yung thread...

ok lang ba isabay sa change owner ship yung change engine?

or i-file ko muna yung change owner then change engine?

[alwayz_yummy]

magulo pag ganun..change ownrer muna, then change engine...

pwede lang pagsabayin na walang hassle is change owner ang renew ng rehistro...
