i am looking forward for an engine swap first i was thinkin bout 3000gt engine swap but i hvnt seen anyone do it so far.. now i am interested in this 4g63gt engine swap but kinda of confused.. i found this website sellin a new engine with everything only for $1500 dunno if it can be used

also i have a question wut is the best tranny that can go with this engine i want a 5speed stick but i will run my auto for a while too.. give me links for this too if ya can pls.


my biggest question: i am doin a 4disk setup soon and i was thinkin if there is any poosssibility in hell if i culd buy a good engine and a manual tranny and make this car a REAR WHEEL DRIVE (RWD) i really need to know if this is possible...

$$$$ i am willing to spend $10,000 and i will do be basically doin all the labor myself, even though i am 18 i have taken 2 auto tech classes and i know 2 fully licensed mechanics and my auto teacher who can inspect every other day or hour :P

you CAN make it RWD if you want but its gonna be alot of fabrication work. It hasnt been done before in this car, but its a basic concept. Slowboy racing made a 1g RWD, buschur racing sells parts to convert 1g's to RWD, maybe you can look at their stuff and get an idea of what you need to do. Esentially if you go RWD, there are only two ways to do it. Fabricate or modify the front cross member, get an EVO tranny and rear end in there, custom drive shaft and disconnect the front wheel driveline, viola RWD. Then you can go the hardcore way, make custom mounts and turn the motor long ways in the engine bay, cut the firewall and make a tunnel, make a bellhousing adaptor plate and insert the RWD tranny of your choice. You have ALOT of homework to do.

Hell if you've got 10 grand to spend go for it. I would imagine you'd be able to do the evo engine swap and manual conversion for that much. Although I've heard there have been problems w/ codes and such for 2002-03 model galants. As far as differences between the evo 8 and 9 the 9 has mivec and a little more hp. I would imagine the mivec engine swap to a galant would be a little more tricky than the Evo 8 engine swap. If you're really serious about the engine stuff than you should take care of the suspension work first coilovers would be a great idea and big brake kit and or the 4 disc conv like you said. Don't skimp on that stuff you want you car to be able to handle the extra power.

yea u will be better off wit the evo 8 engine anyway they say it bolts right into the 8G and the tranny u would use is the 3G eclipse 5 spd tranny that also bolts right on!

Its not the fact of the physical engine fitment of the EVO9 engine compared to the EVO8 engine. It all has to do with the wiring because with the 9 you need all the parts associated with the MIVEC system.

Hey Cali, is this true about the direct bolt fitment from the the stock 2.4 cyl to a 4g63t. It's a direct bolt on or did u have the weld on the evo motor mounts???
