4G63T in a GP? lol crazy?

[DaytonaGTP]

last night i was drinkin with some friends when engine swaps became the subject. one of my dsm friends said itd be neat to put a 4g63t in a grand prix. i laughed at the thought of a 4 banger in my car but then i found myself interested. considering the amazing potential of this engine and all the extra room id have and assuming i found a way to mount and adapt it the the tranny, would this be crazy or even stupid idea or would it be pretty cool to see? would it even work? again we were drinking but yeah...lol

[Bio248]

sooo....whats the potential of that engine in comparison to a solid 3800 block? about nothing.

you do realize that anyone pushing good power with a 4g63t has a BUILT block, whereas anyone with a turbo GP can push 500 whp with a healthy turbo setup on a STOCK BLOCK and be done? come on now, think before you speak.

the money that would be put it would prob not be worht it...and keep the GM good stuff!

Maybe he should stick a stock subie engine in it insead maybe that would be cool with you.

[MrPoopyButthole]

I'd do a VQ35 long before I dropped a mitsu engine....

Need I say it....:crankwalk:

[16MustangVet]

Just like a subie has "piston slap" because they lay flat? LOL Ive said it a million times anything can be fast the real question is how deep are your pockets? VQ anything is worthless with out boost pretty much same as anything else thats not big cube NA.

because the stock subaru block is good for like, what...350-450 whp before it will blow at the slightest pinging?

stock 3800 block still wins. im not being biased here.

[CTKGP09]

i like custom projects, maybe put that motor in a smaller and lighter car to get more gains outta it

[DaytonaGTP]

well the 7 bolts were more prone to crankwalk it was almost unheard of in the 1G 6 bolts. youre right though bio the 3800 is a stronger block. but i suppose if i ever did want to put a 4 banger in there id stick with the 4g63. best 4 banger ever in my opinion. though i suppose the LNF motor could be its rival.

[16MustangVet]

Its ok I got flame retardant uniforms just figured id throw that out their before I make my statement. The ecotec is a damn good engine also as a 4 cylinder esp with turbo and direct injection!

[Bio248]

id also vote ecotec over old technology of the 4g63t.

[16MustangVet]

Dont the new Evos use DI yet or they still behind the game? LOL

[Bio248]

the new evos dont even have a 4g63t.

[16MustangVet]

yes I know thats why I asked if the new ones are DI like the MIVEC or whatever the hell mitsu called the new ones dont know the engine code.

[Lenny]

I think it would be like slapping Abraham Lincoln in the face. but just my $0.02.

Best, Lenny

[timmysgtp]

yea it's mivec now

[blueguy]

It is a totally different engine...with the added MIVEC...plus its a 4B11...not a 4G63.

[16MustangVet]

So still the ? are the 4B11 DI??

[matt5112]

wiki says.... standard fuel injection.

[cody8099]

Ughh, I hate the fact that the only motors I really read upon is American motors. This 4B11 and 4g63T talk is like spanish to me.

Il stick to American motors.
