If everyone wants the 4G63 motor, would it not just be cheaper (And a whole lot easyer) to trade your car in on another 1G or 2G that allready has that motor in it from the factory? I like the 1.8L in this car I just bought. Shure, a STOCK dodge neon can eat it for breakfast, and my 2003 Cavaleer LS Sport (with some mild mods) Would absolutly kill it at any speed. But thats not the point. Even in stock trim, you are crusing around in a sharp car, MOST people have absolutly NO idea how weak these things are! All they see is a "sports" car. So enjoy the mouse motor's fuel economy. He!!, at $2.75+/gal, we need all the mpg's we can get!

 

Used 1.8 engines in good condition with low mileage are nearly impossible to find. When you find them, they tend to sell in the $600-$750 price range. A very nice, low-mileage 2.0 4G63 sells for about $450 and is plentiful. Take into account that the 4G63 is much more heavy duty, produces more torque, and still gets the same mileage, and it's tough to justify keeping the 1.8 if you have to swap it out. The 2.0 is still a pig in a non-turbo version, but at least it will climb a hill while maintaining the speed limit...

For a total cost of $600, I now have a 25,000-mile 1G Eclipse with a 4G63 SOHC that runs nice, feels solid, and gets good mileage. Tough to beat that if you just want a reliable commuter car.

 

so how mutch would it cost me if i wanted to swap to a 4g63 nt from a stock 1.8

 

I posted total cost for the swap in my first post along with total hours spent.

 

thanks man but i thhink im just gana get one with a 4g63 already in it itll be cheaper and alot easyer

 

4g93 is from a 1.8 mirage

 

what was the point of this post. Not to mention this thread is almost a year old.
