420A variants???

Hey, I have just purchased a '97 Eclipse RS... with the 420A motor... my intake comes out on the right side... a friend of mine claims to have the same motor in his Eclipse, but the intake comes out on the opposite side... is this a variant? or does he have another engine???

Re: 420A variants???

Nope. Only 1 420a. The intake will always be coming from the back towards to the front drivers side. Any other engine in the Eclipse/Talon, will have the intake on the other side

Re: 420A variants???

ok, thanks... I'm almost certain he has a 4g63 (not turbo)... I haven't actually seen his motor, but the pics I found will help me tell...

Re: 420A variants???

well, if the motor blew... and you found the neon 420 cheap... ya know... or wanted it to have just a little touch of uniqueness... to my knowledge, they have the same hp...right?

The only Eclipse to have the intake on the drivers side is the 420a, all the rest (4g63 (turbo or nt, 4g64) has it on the passenger side.

Re: 420A variants???

A 420a is a 420a, I dont think there is any difference between the neon 420a and the eclipse 420a.

Same here. As far as I know, they are the EXACT same motor as in the Neon R/T. The base Neons had a SOHC engine. I'm guessing the other guy has a 1g with the N/T 4g63.

Re: 420A variants???

there are slight differences ie the motor is flipped and it has been given new manifolds all around and I guess with those combos it gives it an extra 5hp. One of my buddys is a HUGE neon guy. Hes had 4 neons, 2 of them r/ts

I'm sorry to hear that, you should slap him and ask him what the hell he is thinking.

well his first one was nitro yellow green, aka something a baby threw up after eating peas. his second one was pretty nice...for a neon, it was a 02 black r/t 4 door and it was boosted and pretty quick. His third one however has a 99 r/t with a built 420a running a gt35r 42# injectors and a fmic that was 10x4x30 and it was slow as hell
