4G63 cyclone swap

[98GSX]

I just blew the bearings and the crank in my 98 gsx... i was wondering what it takes to do the cyclone swap and if it is a direct swap.... i found this one... http://www.totaljdm.com/index.cfm/fu...T/4G63_jdm.htm and i was wondering if it will work or not... please any help will be appreciated!!!

The cyclone motor only has 1 difference: The intake manifold. If you want a real motor, get a stock or built 6 bolt from 90-92 turbo DSMs. Any aftermarket manifold will outperform the cyclone, and the 1g is bigger than your 2g anyway.

Will the 6 bolt motor fit a 96 GSX tranny?

I have been reading on here that 95 and above motors suck, I just talked to a guy that sells JDM motors, he tells me that 95 above motors are strong motors. All I want to do is make sure I dont blow a couple of G's on a bad motor. This guy also told me I would not be able to put a 92 to 94 motor in my car.

93-99 motors (7-bolts) are just as good as a 90-92 motor. (6-bolt) The only real difference is, that the 7 bolts are more likely to develope crankwalk and crap out on you. Whereas the 6 bolts have never had a problem with crankwalk. That guy that told you you couldn't put a 6 bolt into your car was wrong. You can put a 6 bolt in and rewire the cam angle sensor and it'll work just fine. Also the 6 bolts are a little more efficient than the 7 bolts. Hope that helps ya... Oh yeah, I left you a message in the thread about evo8s Crimsin. Check it out...
