N e one need or want to see a pic or 2 of the DOHC engine :?: :?:
Looks like mine except double the cam
So THAT's the infamous GS...
What's the specs on that puppy exactly Craig? How many horses does it have over my ES? Is it the same head as the 4g63? It's still a 2.4L right?
161HP @ 7200RPM
~160 Ft lbs @ ~4000RPM
same block, higher CR pistons and 2g turbo head/cams
eclipse-like DIS ignition (coil-packs, not Distributor)
"custom" ECU (e-prom, BTW)
should be a fun little car...
yeah, it's a good motor... It's just a shame there Was such limited production
Nows that a motor.. wow :shock:

The illiterate of the twenty-first century will not be those who can not read or write, but those who can not learn, un-learn and re-learn.
they also came with the 30 series transmissions, making them a lot sturdier.

oh, yeah.. they arent perfect.. but you probably wont snap shafts in half (which ive seen happen several time on "modded" 20 series trannies.)
no no no
it *came* with a f5m31
the 20's are all the autos
f4a22..bleh
I think spyders have the same

if you have a GS, then yes, it did come with a 30 series. but the 20 series is NOT just automatics. there were 20 and 30 series autos and manuals, as well as 40 and 50 series autos and manuals for the current generation.
and as i said, they were stronger, but not perfect.
ugggggh such a nice engine
maybe we're Talking about Something different?
I'm talking about the transmission code
the last couple #'s
mine is f5m31.. and turbo FWD eclipse/talon is f5m33
the one from the Factory..was a 31, as Well...

no, youre right.. the last 2 digits represent the series and version.
it works like this.. F5M31 means front drive, 5 gears, manual, 30 series, version 1.
if it was a F4A31 it would be a front drive, 4 gear automatic, 30 series, version 1
and so on and so forth.
Now that you guys agree on something...
So what is the strongest factory Auto tranny I can use on my 98? The F4A33? Will it bolt right up?

no.. the bellhousing is different from 4 cylinders to 6 cylinders.
the strongest you can use is probably already in your car.. it should be a f4a21, 22, or 23 (the 23 being the strongest of the 3)
