So... Im going to be 4g63t swapped sometime next year! A few questions though
So... when i bought my 1g my original plan was to just get the motor and ditch the rest of the car but since the car is in such good condition i cant see myself doing that. I was talking to someone a few months ago about swapping the 63t in the galant and putting the 64 in the eclipse and i was told the flywheels were different in size and whatnot. Well.. After talking to my friend tonight we decided that it was complete BS and that they HAD to be the same size and everything or else the 63t swap in the galant using the 64 transmission wouldnt be possible.. SO.. Since i have my girlfriends 2g turbo ripped apart in mt garage (7 bolt 63t same flywheel as i used in my car) i decided to take some "measurements" and see how this would add up... Well lets just say whoever told me they were different flywheels other than the bolt count was full of shit. They are IDENTICAL. The tooth pitch and count is the exact same as well as the circumference of it. In a nutshell my plan is to swap the 63t in the galant and put the 64 in the eclipse and make it DOHC that way i dont have to fuck with too much wiring. So my real questions is for those who have experience with swapping the 63 in the galant are:
You guys run the 2g turbo ecu right?
What do you do about wiring it up? New harness or splicing in the pig tails?
I know the 1g ignition system is different than the 2g so should i just go ahead and buy 2g coil packs and transistor and whatever else is needed? Or is there a way to wire it in? (my 1g is a 90 so i know there are differences in stuff like that from 91+)
Also what do you guys do about the difference in the 1g CAS and the 2g CAS?
Here are my plans for the build motor wise:
Eagle rods, wiseco pistons, BC 272 cams, BC retainers and springs, arp head and main studs, and a 16g turbo which i already have. Ill have all oil clerances checked on the bearings and whatever else you have to do to "blueprint" the motor. Ill probably do a little porting on the head but not much (hand port with a dremel tool)... Im sure there will be more down the line but thats pretty much it in a nut shell.
Let me know what you guys think. Ill keep it updated because im so excited about this its not even funny!
