your wrong... i just put a new motor in my step brothers GS because it had crankwalk! any motor can get crankwalk/thrust bearing failure! it is very uncommon to see it in a 2gnt and i was surprized when i found out that was it! its the first 2gnt i have seen with it but probably not the only one!!!

GST's and GSX's all have 4g63T motors in them, whether they are 6 bolt or 7 bolt they all face the same way and are almost the same motor so its easier to swap the 6 bolt inplace where the 7 bolt was compared to swaping a 6 bolt 4g63T inplace of a 420a motor which is completely backwards... 420a - all belts (timing, etc...) on passenger side and tranny on the drivers side, 4g63T - all belts (timing, etc...) on drivers side and tranny on the passenger side!

non turbo's (RS/GS) have the 420a
turboed cars (GST/GSX) have the 4g63T
non turboed 1st gen cars (GS/RS) have the 4g63
non turboed Spyder (GS) have the 4g64

Re: 2g non turbo?

But if i bought the whole engine complete What exactly would be the most difficult fitting the motor in or what. What exactly makes it so hard the motor mounts or what exactly because the engine bay is the same so exactle what is the hardest part in detail

Re: 2g non turbo?

Sorry the reason i'm pushing this is because i really plan on bidding on an eclipse with a busted motor and if its a rs/gs i can get it for like $1300-$1800
if its a 95-96 it will be closer to 1300 becuz its older I really can cuz dealers will shy away from it I know

Re: 2g non turbo?

My Question is why or better yet what exactly is the difficult part about putting in a 1g 6bolt turbo into a 2g rs/gs i need details before i decide to bid on a car that has a bad motor because i've never seen a gsx/gst with a bad motor at these auctions,
Plz help all the article ppl point to are for the swap into a gsx, Like the one at magnusmotorsports.com Why do u have to bash me and be a dick about it am i annoying you I'm sorry but i told you why I am pushing this.

I guess it's the fact that they've already stated, multiple times, that the engines are completely backwards. That alone should be enough info for you to see why it is so difficult and expensive to do it.

yeah basically you need to take everything you see in the engine bay out and replace it with everything you see in a turboed eclipse engine bay! plus there is a lot of welding and fabricating necessary in order to make the motor fit in there right!

Re: 2g non turbo?

Thank You very Much,
Eclipse rst you are the greatest thats all i asked for thank you for not treating me like a dick. So basically its outa the question for me because i'm on a budget I'll hope and pray my ass off that there will be a gsx/gst at the auction that has fallen victim to crankwalk(they have a whole section for cars with busted motors) if not i'll bid on a rs/gs and have the engine tottaly rebuilt cuz you never know with those auctions Would it be smart to upgrade the internals at that time for when i can afford a turbo kit

Again thank you rst
