swap the engine

[galant_speed]

hi fox, i really need a lot of help so what ever you can offer would be great. I own a 94 galant 2.4 sohc, Auto, today, My tran died on me again and i have fixed it before 4 times. And now i cant flows around with my G ryde, i want to buy an engine and a tranny, what would be the easiest swap to fit my car, I was thinking about an ECLIPSE SPYDER ENGINE AND TRANNY. 2.4L with a 5spd. If you have any suggestions please send them through, i appreciate all the support. :oops: :oops: :oops:

I own a 94 galant 2.4 sohc, Auto,

[galant_speed]

but is the spyder engine a dohc or sohc?

[seth98esT]

same engine as u have, just a few differences...

All spyder engines are sohc. Some a/t and some m/t of course.

The only dohc came on a galant in 94 in the GS version. Only year, only model.

If I were you, I'd swap in a 4g63T from a 90 or 91 eclipse and an a/t from a 91-94 eclipse.

Any 4g63T from 90-99 will work though.

You can do a m/t swap, but it'll be more trouble and money then it's worth.


Seriously, do the 4g63T engine, tranny, and ecu swap, you'll be the happiest turbo'd galant owner.

You tranny died 4x's already? Have you transmission cooler lines and cooler checked, they might be clogged. It is a notorious problem with 7g A/T trannies......once they become blocked or fluid flow reduces, the tranny gets HOT and HEAT is one of the main reasons tranny's die. Where are you having your tranny installed? If its at Mitsu...I wouldn't worry, but if you are doing it at a privately owned or standalone place, they may put the wrong type of tranny fluid in there. Now....if you just want to do a motor/tranny swap, and you want a Eclipse spyder motor, its basically the same one you got with few differences...mostly on the intake manifold, which slightly makes a few more bhp than the 4g64s intake manifold made 94-95. (I think 2 or 3 more bhp) Converting A/T to M/T.....I contiplated that idea, and its very costly, not worth it....unless you have big plans for your Galant to race or something. There are a few avenues you can take on what you want to do next to you Galant .....do a little research, and see what suits your criteria budget wise or performance wise. Happy Tuning.

thanks for all the ideas but i think im sticking to jesse's idea on getting a 4G63T and a tranny. Any idea if the tranny of a 90-94 eclipse would handle a strong turbo, i mean would it slip?

[galant_speed]

hi again, what kind of electronics would i need to swap the engine please list me all the things i need do i have to change any computer chips for the system?

If your gonna swap a motor you will basically need:

1g or 2g 4g63t (If you are going JDM...EVO 1,2,3,4 Cyclone 4g63's will fit)
Wiring harness
ECU
Tranny
Intake manifold
Turbo manifold
4g63t Oil pan
Turbo Oil lines
4g63t injectors
etc etc etc....basically, the motor, tranny, and ECU.
