ENGINE SWAP! FROM GS TO GS-T OR GSX?
#11
My car now:
1999 Mitsubishi Spyder GS
Heres what im tryin to do with my car:
Make it fast enough to smoke ponies and subarus haha GRUDGE!
My goal is probably about 250-350HP
I want to add a turbo (of course)
My driving habbits:
Daily driver I drive a lot.
Ive seen cars that are souped but that can not be drive around the block without putting gas. So basically an all around fast and at the same time dependable car.
Options:
Ive been doing my research and I am not about to add a turbo on my 2.4 non turbo engine theres to many downfalls and things that could hurt the engine since its not really built for that.
Ive came to the conclusion that it would be all around easier and more dependable to swap the engine with a GSX engine or GS-T engine.
Can someone please explain the difference between the 2?
Also since the GSX engine is AWD how would I convert that?
Wheres a good place to get the engine?
What else would I need to swap since im going turbo Ex. Downpipe, Exhaust?
What would be my best option or other option?
I found a gsx at the junkyard and its being parted out so Im just wondering what to get because hes selling the parts for cheap and gaurenteed to work. Hes selling the stock turbo for $60. Thanks for reading and for your help!
