Thinking about removing my 4g62 Turbo and installing a 4g63 Turbo since its almost a bolt in job. (Just have to modify drivers side motor mount, so Im told ) I would need the engine, wire harness and ECU. Would it be cheaper to buy a totaled Eclipse to get the parts, or buy the parts already removed that somebody may have? I would think to get the totaled Eclipse, junt incase I seen some other parts. What do you think? What does a totaled Eclipse go for these days? NOBODY has done this here in the states that I know of. I fellow TR member was talking about it, but dont know what ever became of it. Here is a picture of a 4g63 installed in a Cordia.(Link below.) If I were to tackle this job and run into problems, who could I get ahold of to help me out since this has not been performed here in the states. DSM Sidewinder? The wiring I think would case me the most problems.
Thanks....

Get a totaled 1g. It'll be an easier swap knowing you have all the parts. There's always stupid misc parts like the injector resistor pack and so on. Took me 3 months just to find the injector resistor box, no one seemed to want to take it off their shell or parts car.

 

What years was the 6 bolt avail? 89-94?

 

90-92.5

 

Your better off getting a totaled eclipse/talon/laser; (all had the turbo 4g63 in them)
mainly because you'll most likely forget some integral part, and spend weeks tracking it down at junkyards and classified ads on the internet. you should be able to purchase a wrecked AWD 1G for less than $700.

$700.00 is not a bad price to pay. If anybody out there knows of one for sale, LMK...
