Dont Think Its Covered In The Faq

[Jdbaldwin86]

Ok, i dont think this question is covered in the FAQ so ill post it and hopefully my thread doesnt get locked =/. Im wondering how difficult it is to put a 2.4L engine in my 95 Eclipse GS....I know putting a turbo engine into a GS isnt exactly cheap because the tranny has to be mounted in a different spot or something like that. So....what do I have to do? If its not hard, would I go about doing this by just buying a 2000+ eclipse engine? Ive got someone that would be doing all the work for me, but I have to get the parts I want ect.

I found this when I searched the forum. Here ya go and hope it helps.
Note the last paragraph at the bottom.


What engine can I swap into my GS/RS ? - ashah000

The only engine that can be directly swaped is the one that is in there right now (the 420a).
You can swap a GS-T engine into the car but it would be extremely difficult and costly.

Here are the costs (from 2gnt)
1. 4G63 turbo engine (stock) $1500
2. transmission (stock GS-T FWD) $500
3. wiring harness for engine $300
4. 4G63 ECU (stock) $300
5. shift linkage $200
6. custom engine mounts $200
7. chassis cross member $100
8. complete exhaust $200
9. intercooler, turbo, related parts $500
10. boost gauge/fuel filter, etc $300
11. Installation $1500
Total - $5600

You can also swap in a 2.4L from a Dodge Stratus/PT cruiser. This is easier than the GS-T swap, however it does require some custom faberication. Also it would be backwards (the header would be on the firewall side)

Good luck!!
