Im bored and I like to write tutorials so here is your basic 4g63t swap for a 5spd 7g:
4g63t Swap Tutorial:
Parts list:
-Complete 4g63t. Heres the run down 90-91 4g63ts out of T/E/L are all 100% 6bolt motors. Early 92s(I believe before May are 6bolts, the rest are 7bolts. The strongest motor is of course the 6bolt. 92-94(1g) 7bolts are descent as well but still have a chance of crankwalk. 95-99 T/E 4g63ts are all a different 7bolt block and are most prone to crankwalk, so stay away!
-6bolt/7bolt FWD Flywheel(whichever motor you do go with)
-Clutch. All 90-99 T/E/L clutches are the same
-1g or 2g ECU. 2g ECU by far offers the best performance as the 95 ECUs are already socketed with EPROM and are ready for DSMLink ('http://www.dsmlink.com'). Also 2g ECU is very easy to wire and is OBDII. Also 2g GSX ecus do not have a speed limitter at all, GST ECUs are governed at 137mph if that matters to anybody haha
-2g ISC
-2g Knock sensor
-BOV. 1g BOV > 2g BOV always. 2g BOV is a POS plastic leaking lawn ornament. A crushed 1g bov is good beyond 20psi.
-IC Piping(custom or maybe stock 2g piping)
-SMIC/FMIC
-GST Tranny + GST axles(optional if you dont use a 7g tranny)
-1g Power Transistor
-Intake pipe. I used a 2g Dejon tool hard intake pipe with dump tube. You can use any intake pipe, I think they are all the same.
-Conefilter + MAS adaptor
Parts you use off your 4g64:
-Driverside engine mount
-Tranny
-Tranny mounts
-Engine Harness
-Starter
-Alternator + hardware
-PS Pump + hardware
-MAS(7g uses the same MAS as the turbo 2g)
First off your 7g 5spd tranny WILL bolt up fine to any 1g/2g 4g63t. Next you mus mod the '64 driverside engine mount so it will clear the water pump. Just grind off the first bolt hole. Heres mine, I used a dremell and a few cut off wheels:

After:

Bolt up the newly modded mount, cut the timing belt cover(plastic) so it will fit over the '64 mount. Now your 4g63t is ready to be dropped into your now empty engine bay https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif I removed my radiator so I would have plenty of room to play with:

Mounts all bolted up:

Now is the fun part. Wiring! Just start plugging things in. I hope you labelled every single wire or else you will be having a hayday trying to figure out where everything goes. Now I dont nkow how to wire the car for a 1g ECU. I used a 98 GSX ecu and followed robs 2g ECU swap tutorial located here:
http://jipownz.topcities.com/ecuswap.htm ('http://jipownz.topcities.com/ecuswap.htm')
All the wiring info is there for your pleasure. Its really not that hard, really! After you have everything wired up you now only have one problem. As adressed my magnus motorsports, the misfire CEL which will prevent you from starting your car after you turn it off unless the CEL is cleared by a logger.

If you cannot get a working tach signal with the power transistor you will have to buy a 1g or aftermarket(I think MSD makes one) tach adaptor and wire it up.This is a basic 4g63t tutorial. I have done my swap with these articles and with the help of certain people(jip, moosh, craig, 4g64 group, DSMTuners, ect). I will probably add more to this in a few days/weeks/months. If you have questions feel free to ask.
Now everything is pretty much set up. Misc things like intercooler pipng and intercooler selection will vary on which setup you go with. I went with a 25x8x3 FMIC and I custom made my own intercooler piping out of 2 90* mandrel bends and 2 180* mandrel bends.
Tadaaaa! Instant 4g63t powah! I know I left things out, I just cant think of them as of now so dont use this as an EXACT tutorial. I just roundedu p all the info for you guys and added some of my input...
One more thing, if you do not want to have a rats nest of vaccuum lines and emissions crap, block off your egr using a block off plate and follow this diagram(thanks to taboospeed)
