GSX---->VR-4?

How much extra work would need to be done to fit a 3.0L Twin Turbo VR-4 motor into a 1999 GSX?

Let me ask you this? How much would it cost to make Kelly Osbourne look sexy? I think it might cost just as much.

In all seriousness, if you have access to a VR-4 engine, than you more than likely have access to the vr-4 in which it came with. IMO, i wouldn't mix the two. If the VR-4 engine is good enough that your willing to try an impossible swap, than i suggest just rolling in a vr-4.

Re: GSX---->VR-4?

Said exactly like the truth:

you can run 8's on a 4G63, so why do you want a VR4 motor?

If you told someone you were going to do this in real life, they would laugh in your face.

Well said. I love the 3kgts, but the 4g63/DSM is a well proven combo. Why try to reinvent the wheel just to get nothing but financial ruin in return. Chooose the car/motor you want, and stick with it. Be it 3kgt or DSM.

Interesting interpretation, heh.
A GSX (or TSI) can produce as much power as any VR4 around. That's my suggestion.

unless you like the looks and stock power better, vr4's have 320hp and run the 1/4 in 13.5 stock. my point was the eclipse engine is everything you want, no need for the vr4 engine. also depends on what your tryna do.

Re: GSX---->VR-4?

What I'm trying to do is get rid of my mfugly RS and get a GSX. Like I said I've seen a few of the Galant VR-4 engines squeezed into a gsx and I was curious what it would take. ty
