The only engine you can swap out your 420a out with is another 420a. In order to swap in a 4g63t it would be extremely costly. And I haven't really heard of anyone doing it because it is so expensive. Like I said, for the money you would spend on swapping in the 4g63t engine you can just buy an awd 2g GSX and have some change. But if you are dead set on keeping your GS, then you are going to have to rebuild the 420a for the turbo or run really low boost on the turbo. I don't think those engines are rated for much of 220 hp or so. But if you are really interested in doing it look at the top of the performance section there is a thread about turboing a GS/RS. It should tell you everything you need.
