does anyone know where i can find a new 4g63 crate engine? i need and want a new engine i found some on ebay with 40,000 miles

What happened to your other motor?

Your goin to have a hard time finding one that will be a direct bolt on that has 40,000 miles. Your best bet would to be rebuild your motor!

bought it then found out the kid before ragged the living shit out of it then started running light shit over heated really bad and some thing blew in the motor dont know what it is yet. im just looking for a engine in perfect condition if i rebuild it well it be just like brand new?

[EclipseRST]

Yes if you rebuild it everything that wears will be replaced with new parts. New bearings, new piston rings, all new gaskets and seals. This is the best way to go about doing it so you know there is no miles on the motor when its rebuilt. But if you think there is something wrong inside you might want to look into that. If I were you and in the same position I'd take advantage of this and build the motor, new rods and pistons, so if you plan to make a lot of power you dont have to worry about building the motor up later. Get it over with now and you will probably never have to pull the motor again.

thanks for the advice how much do you think it would cost for it all

[EclipseRST]

full rebuild should be around 5-600 if you do it yourself and have access to everything you need... If not, between 1500-1600 depends on the shop and if you know people.

If that is the cyclone motor, you have to do more work than just swap the motors to get it to work... Plus you have no gaurantee that it has that many miles.

I would never buy a cyclone motor. Way overpriced.

[bighauns]

I am pretty sure that it isnt. Apparantly it is the same thing that came out of my car except with a different intake system and a bigger turbo...and of course its a red top. The guy who is putting it in has done these swaps before and he said it just drops right in

[EclipseRST]

Yeah that is the cyclone. Be prepared for problems. Also how much is he charging you to put that motor in?

Yes the motor just drops right in but you need to mess with the wiring harness and I have heard you need the computer that is for the motor too!

Have you used this kit or know anyone who has? I got a winter project <2 melted pistons, 1 and 4> and saw the kit a while ago but was wondering if it was any good. I would Probably do a set of forged pistons and bore the block, I guess I am more concerned about the bearing and gasket quality. Any input would be appreciated. Thanx




p.s. I guess there is such thing as to much boost lol oh well stock sucks any way

[EclipseRST]

Theres never such thing as too much boost... Theres such thing as an untuned motor with not enough fuel = detonation = melted pistons!


That looks like a good kit. Hopefully nothing happened to your block/crank/rods!
