The 4g64 is just as mod friendly as the 4g63. Once you throw away the garbage sohc head and throw on an Evo 8 head you have a 2.4 Evo motor. The stock internals on the 3g Eclipse 4g64 are VERY strong. Many have pushed over 320whp on the stock internals for tens of thousands of miles. Im willing to bet the stock internals would hold past 400whp with proper tuning on an Evo ecu.
