Toyota Supra an mitsubishi eclipse gsx?
My buddy has worked on his gsx for awhile an it looks preety dam nice. A lot better since he got it. He's done some performance work an all an customized his body. The exterior from hood, bumper an headlight conversion because face it it looks hideous, don't get me wrong it's done right not looking like a ricer or an idiot like a Honda owner. He's done some work on the the back too. Sanding down the middle truck lock removing the eclipse letterring an painting over the gap between the tailights. Leaving the tailights as is not changing it. Now he wishes to do an engine swap to keep up with my 96 supra.
An ideas of an engine swap?
I love the eclipse he needs to spend the money on the 4g63 itself don't spend the 10k in parts with an engine spend it on the one that's already in there put that in modifications you will not find an engine that will fit comfortably even the evo 4G63 will need modifications to the body let alone the engine is rotated so the hood wouldn't close. The 2jz-gte in the supra is the better engine I love them both but the 2jz is capable of 2000HP when intense money is put into it compared to 1000HP for a 4g63t.
If it's a gsx why would he want to do an engine swap? You didn't say what year, but that model is usually has a turbo engine and awd. Money for swap would be put to better use building that engine.
The engine on the GSX is the Mitsubishi 4G63 turbo, the same one in the Evolution 1-9. Even if there were another engine you could swap to, why? The 4G63 is bulletproof and very, very easy to modify.
You could spend upwards of $10k to try to get another engine in there, but for around $5000 you could modify the engine in there now to put out some decent power.
Don't do it. Your asking for trouble and tons of money wasted…
- R34 or a Supra what shoukd I buy? Should I get a Skyline R34 or Toyota Supra? It's a hard choice to make. All my buddy's are getting nice cars. 370z an 350 along with a sti an rx7. Because face it Hondas are nothing but economy cars aside from the nsx
- How much does the engine itself of each of these bikes weigh? Yamaha YZF R6 Suzuki GSX 600 Honda CBR600RR? They are all ~600cc. Kgs would be preferable but its easy enough to convert the weights. I can't find their engine weights anywhere.
- How did Mitsubishi compare to Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Subaru, and Mazda in the 80's, 90's, and early 2000's? I remember back in the early 2000's, I used to see many Mitsubishi's being driven. Now, I hardly see them around. Was Mitsubishi, generally, as good as the other car-makes mentioned above, in terms of general customer-satisfaction (fuel-efficiency, reliability, etc.)? In the US
- Can I fit a 2JZ GTE from a supra in a Civic? I currently own a 2001 Honda Civic LX Coupe. I plan to do an engine swap and I'm highly considering a 2JZ. I'm trying to figure out if its possible to put a 2JZ in the civic with AWD. Anyone have any knowledge on 2J's and Civics?
