I have a 98 Spyder GS, which is a 2.4 liter. The engine is a G464 while the Turbos and non-turbos for eclpises are G463 engines. I've looked up turbos for my car and see that Greddy and other aftermarket brands sell turbos, but only for the G463 engines. Is it possible to get a turbo for my G464 engine, or am I better off swapping a JDM G463 turbo engine.

 

you can do it, but its a pain in the ***...... better to do a 2.0 head swap and drop a turbo on or do the JDM swap..........

 

GAHHH!!! NO!!! You can use the 4g63 exhaust manifold on the SOHC 4g64 (BTW the mitsu way to call an engine is the 4g64, 6g72, 6a12, and so on. The hyundai way to call it is like g64b or g63. It' doesn't make a difference, they're the same engine, just a little different nomenclature). However, The boltholes for the 4g63 exhaust manifold line up correctly to the 4g64 SOHC head. Almost all 4g6x heads all have the same exhaust port size and shape, just differing intake ports. The intake manifold will not bolt up, but it doesn't really matter. The exhuast manifold will bolt up directly, and that's all you really need to worry about if you're doing a custom turbo kit. So remember, any 1g or 2g 4g63 manifold(the new evo engines are arranged different so they won't work) will work. And 1g manifolds are like practically free now, so it's *really* cheap to build a turbo kit. Damnit, you guys are making get ahead of myself. I am doing the "4g64 turbocharging and headswap" writeup for the faqs like right now. I'll have the writeup available very soon and put it on the forum, and it will be an in-depth article too, not just the basics. From manifold choices to turbo selection to fuel managment.

 

sorry spyder, i read its easier to do the swap cause you gotta change the ECU anyway, but your the man, so listen to you, sorry bout that........... i deff. wanna see that when its done...........

 

Thanks Spyder GS I'll be on the lookout for your writeup.
