420a to 4g63 swap
ok i just bought a 1995 mitsu eclipse gs i know it has a 420a chrysler motor and i want lots of power (400's) i know that hahns race craft makes a turbo but i am also a big import fan & i dont really like the fact i have a chyrsler motor i was wondering about a 4g63t swap i know u have to do a lot of work and i know u gotta have a different tranny but i was wondering if it is worth it and another thing i was wonderin about is crank walking and which 4g63 is the least known do it and what is my cheapest option

I havent heard of this swap being done yet, which doesnt mean it hasn't happened. This is no 7 bolt to 6 bolt swap, the 420A is backwards to the 4G63 meaning, the 4G63 has thr tranny on the passenger side, and engine on the drivers side, the 420A has the engine on the passenger side and tranny on the drivers side. I don't know if there is a kit out there for this swap. Your best bet is ditch the car and buy a GST or GSX

Then get the Hahn or Star turbo kit, and rebuild the motor so it can handle 20psi, that I know has been done before. Or start looking for a kit to swap in a 4G63

Might try seeing if you can get a busted Evo 8 engine and drivetrain. The Evo 8 engine is on the same side as the NT 2G's. No way you could bolt up the rear driveshaft and diff , but your best bet would be to cap the transfer case and install it as FWD only.

Thats the best bet, but it would still require a solid center diff or VC in order to run just FWD. Plus all the work required to convert to the correct harness etc. Man, what a pain. By far the best thing to do is use the HRC kit or sell the car. Even a VERY expereienced DSMer or shop wouldnt want to do this. It jsut doesnt make sense finacially.
