You have a 4g63 N/T. It is not quite the same as the turbo motor, the compression is slightly higher, as far as I know. No, you do not have the *420A*, which is neither a neon or eclipse motor. It's a Dodge motor, put into a neon, eclipse, or sebring. Yes the 420A sucks, but without a turbo yours isn't much better for speed or anything.

I have no idea what your asking in your second question.

Re: what kinda engine is in my car?

There's a white sticker on the firewall. It's say DSM then the engine code and such underneath it. It's the 4g63 unless it's been swapped because I have a 1993 GS DOHC and it's a 4g63. Mostly the same as a 4g63t, but higher compression pistons due to it being n/a. I think that's right...?

EDIT: |eclipse| beat me to it. Same thing though

Re: what kinda engine is in my car?

I heard a lot of people say that 420a engines are a lot more reliable then turbo engines . Its been said a lot on the net in other forums. Besides 420a doesnt have any chance of crankwalk :O like turbo ones.

every motor ever produced in the world has a chance of crankwalk if it has a crankshaft.

well the 4g63 does have a turbo lol which means there are more things to go wrong. so yes im most cases the 420a will be more reliable lol its not prooven, but this is what i would think anyways
