6cyl swap

ok, me and my roomate were arguing about our dream cars(which one would win) his is a supra and mine a gsx spyder (i know the gsx spyder dont exist but anyways) no way the gsx could take the supra 340 vs 210.
so i was wondering, is it possible to swap for the 6cyl mivac thats in the 06 clipse. and i dont mean possible in some evil genious mechanic garage cause i know that almost anything is possible., but i mean practically

Ahaha why would you want to.

I think his supra would win. If you mod it then you might have a chance but Supra's are powerful and also have lots of aftermarket parts so they can reach high HP levels easily.

you like your car alot huh,,why would you chop a new eclipse and put its engine in your old one hmm ,the real question is why but with enough money you could swap a fuckin peterbuilt in there

save the money from the swap and mod the gsx engine. with $1000 - $2000 you can easily be doing 12's.

Why would your dream cars be stock? ;) I dont think a V6 swap is even close to realistic especially one of those. The engine would cost a crap load more than your car is worth and shoe horning it into your engine bay wouldnt be fun, plus you would have to work on it once its in there. Not to be a dick, but how would any of us know if it could practically get in there, it hasnt been out for very long.

I think the question would be why? Say you buy a spyder for 10k (a 99 or so) then a GSX drivetrain for like 2 or 3. You're talking 13k tops. That would buy you half a supra. Now spend another 13k to equal prices out and you have a 10 second (or so) GSX Spyder without any goofy MIVEC V6 wasting space in the engine bay. Sheps car has now run 7s so I don't think there is any real reason to change engines.

As far as I'm concerned, it's *all* about the 4g63. A 6-bolt swap makes the most sense, and you already have a few stroker options, or high-rev blocks from SBR and several other places. AWD Spyder converions have been done before, and as much as people love AWD, I believe that a well built FWD TRE tranny with an LSD and good launch technique would work fine too. Throw in a good turbo for your needs with adequate A/F management, I'll throw my money on that Spyder. There's no need to do any other engine swap, unless you want to be different for the sake of it. People do swaps when their stock motor can't handle more power, or if it's cheaper to do the swap than to actually upgrade the existing motor. Besides a 6-bolt, I'd put nothing else in my car :) MIVEC or no mivec :p

i totally agree with shypder, but wut i think on the matter is u can take any car and race it against any other car and its gonna come down to who has more money to put into there vehicles.

for people that like posts in PLAIN ENGLISH:

wut= what

u = you

USE PROPER GRAMMER PEOPLE! you saved a whole 3 letters that time. so typing at what, 60 words per minute that's about a word per second and since that would have been 2 seconds, you therefore saved approximately 3/7ths of a second of typing. that's got to be in the record books!

yea you seem pretty smart, and you just wasted 2 minutes teaching grammer. lol sorry for typing u instead of you and wut instead of what. thanks for the spelling lesson though, i really appreciate it

don't even start buddy. it's in the rules and regulations. read them and follow them.

6)Spelling... if you are going to type up a post and expect people to reply and know what you are talking about then spelling and grammer is a must! we are not really picky but if you do type as if you have certain way of talking and somone either bashes you or cant understand what you are tring to say, do not get mad about it!

Ohhhhhhh That boy is giving you some cheek! LOL :nono:

sometimes you have to tell 12 year olds once or twice before they understand.

From what I've read on 2gNT the Avenger 6-cyl swap is fairly easy, but they only came in an a/t trans, which makes it completel not worthwhile. My I/H/E/HFC Talon pulled 3 cars on my friend's A/T V6 Avenger...

i'd still rather stick with my 420a.

dude! if you cant understand my post because i wrote "u" instead of you and "wut" instead of what. then there is something wrong with you! i was just thanking you for teaching me the "rules" and by the way them white decals on your car are HOT!

HAHA are you trying to make fun of me because i have "decals" on my car? and just so we don't have a mis-understanding here, they're painted on and not vinyl so you don't TRY and "make-fun" of me for that. so if your trying to make me feel bad because i drive a "ricer" car, you better stop now because I also have a talon that will blow your car (or probably your mommy's car) out of the water and leave you behind like a limp fish, fag.

i guess 12 year olds have to try and make fun of other people over the internet to make themselves feel better. i'd shut up if i was you before you get :owned: .....fucking newb :thefinger


EDIT: AND you're trying to make fun of me because I have decals on my car? you better check yourself fool, or look at your own car.

"...DAMN, DEM SAWEET GRFX ON YO RIDE IZ SO TITE DAWG"...and they're probably vinyl too, cheap ass auto-zone stickers.
