so I was thinkin about doing the 4g63t swap but ran into a guy that boosted his brothers G that had stock internals and said it works great and that it has been boosted for over a year now and he runs it all the time and never has problems he said its boosting at 8lbs. So my question is would this work??? Is it dependable???? How is it with our stock auto tranny??? What are the pros and cons????
how many miles are on your motor/tranny? I could see it lasting for a year with a small turbo and good tune. I dont think you should expect huge power gains with stock internals and tranny. The tune and how you drive will make the difference in how long the motor lasts. Do some research on tunes. I would HIGHLY suggest to built it right the first time.
yes its fine if you have a good tune. it's been done many times before. its fine with the stock tranny, just get an external transmission cooler and try not to do any neutral drops. 8lbs on what turbo it makes a huge difference. psi is not the only thing to worry about 8lbs on a 14b is a lot different then 8lbs on a gt35r ect.
btw who is this boosted g that you know?
I got 160xxx just rebuilt the head about 5k ago and this guy said his bros car would keep up wit stock srt4s and some EVOs his name is James from here in Arizona he owns Cobo's Customs
where at in phoenix are you? glad to see another AZ member. I don't know any good tuners here but check with SPD_FRK and isuaro (hope I spelled it right) they have some tuning knowledge and can probably help. I am sure you will get a few more comments tomorrow when the east coast people wake up.
I'm from west Phoenix like more Avondale than anything n yea tell me about it don't see to many built 8 Gs out here yea I been lookin around a lot out here for ppl wit the knowledge about it but we mainly have hondas out here but yea happy to find somebody that is a member in AZ but yea I wanted to do that swap but that dude James said it would be cheaper n more dependable if I just boost what I have he has videos up on his Facebook of his bros G but Idk I want my engine to last also yu knowQuote:

bottom line is yes it will work. the only extra stress with be while you a in positive pressure. so if you floor it all the time it will naturally wear your engine down faster but with a good tune you will be ok.
No I dnt have any links its off his FB and its a gold one ok so it does work with a good tune and as long as I'm not running the crap out of my car sweet how much of a difference would it make???Quote:

you can do it now without a problem some guys with high milage cars are still scooting around without problems... it all depends on the car really, your best bet is to build that 63 from the time you turbo your car until its done so you can just drop it in. any real power will come from the 63 or a hybrid version of it....
Did some looking Cobo customs, is not a real shop. It is something James does from his backyard. James Cobo has a "built" 420a that he did. Derrick Knight his brother would be the guy with the gold galant. I think Derricks car is on a ebay push through setup. Not a good setup at all IMHOQuote:

I am not going to list the others Facebook links as this is a public forum.
Derrick Knight is on the Galant Tuners page on FB.
Anyway, I am on stock internals at 15 psi on a evo8 16g street tuned by Devin at Boostin' Performance and I have no issues. Only thing I can point out is when it is stupid hot out the car is PIG rich. but other than that it runs pretty good. I beat a C5 by a nose a couple of weekends ago after work. IDK if it's the dudes driving or if the car is that fast but I beat him. I also pull my buddy's 230whp 300 ft lb Genesis coupe by a car from a 30-roll so thats a pretty good benchmark of how much power I am making.

I kinda wish I ran an EVOIII 16G because I hate these damn spacers but I really wanted a twin-scroll so I decided to do the EVO 8 set-up.
Though I forgot to mention, I am 5-speed swapped. So far the trans is holding. I still don't have an LSD in it. I keep going through driver's side axles though. I gues the CV joints dont like the 4k RPM launches.
The Evo8 setup will match up with our 64??? And Ya I'm planning on doin the 5sp swap at the same time we boost it I'm just tired of all the research lol I had this car for over a year n started doin research on it about 8 months ago so I just want answers already so I can start it already yu knowQuote:

Will do thx man is there any helpful things yu might be able to let me know while doin my research???Quote:
