Just rebuild it... you'd probably get better results for the same money. Plus I don't know if they make a racing specific block to fit the 4g63. Best bet would be to turbo it and upgrade your internals

What do u mean by rebuilding it though..should i just go out and buy a engine rebuild kit for 499? And the eclipse..i want it to run with GSX's is that possible if i rebuild it, like could i rebuild it to make it run with them or am i gonna have to go out and buy a turbo to see the results. Sooner or later i will buy a turbo.

You're not gonna get a normally aspirated car to run with a gsx... not without some rediculous work. So yea... get the build kit for starters, and then slap on a turbo... 16g or 18g. Don't go tryin to put a huge turbo on an n/a engine... even if you do build it up it's gonna bite you in the ass. But def make sure to build your internals before turboing it.
