Re: find used engine??

This should be in the classifieds...

I would check ebay, they are on there all the time. You should be able to pick up a blown one pretty cheap.

Re: WTB used engine

I thought the 4G63 was the AWD engine? And the GST still used the turboed 420A?

Um, no. All turbo DSM's were 4g63t's. AWD has nothing to do with the engine, but the transmission. There was never a turbo 420a.

Re: WTB used engine

Who knows and cares. It's a model number. The 420a never came from the factory turboed in any car.

Re: WTB used engine

Some engine code have a little bit of meaning. 13b=1.3L, RB26DETT=2.6L Twin Turbo and so on a so forth. I'm guessing that 420a stands for 4 cylinder 2.0L.

Exactly, don't know where they came up with 63, oh well.
