Re: Engine Swap... GSX
the best engine that you will be able to put in your gsx is already in there. the swaps that are possible arent worth it. just use your money to mod your current engine. just follow the tuning guide on dsmtuners.com.

Any thing is possible, You could put a viper motor in it if you wanted.As for motors that will swap in cheap and easy i have no clue i dont really think there is any, Whats wrong with the 4g63? Get it bored if you want a bigger engine.

Unless you are very familiar with engines, I would not attempt a 1g in a 2g swap, unless you can afford some down-time. Its probably worth it, but who says a 1g cant cw? I wonder wut the % chance between the two engines is for crankwalk. Probably 10:1 har har.

Its less vulnerable because of bigger rods and crank, and who knows why else. But, yes, they can CW.
I think pretty much any engine can crankwalk? |

Re: Engine Swap... GSX
yes any motor can CW... its also known as thrust bearing failure.
now as for the swap question, if your motor that is in there is just fine, why mess with it? if something happens to it like getting CW or bending valves then yes do a motor swap and i would suggest a 1st gen 6 bolt motor for the swap but only swap motors if you need too... |
