LOL Looks can be decieving

 

97GSPower....didn't you have a Megan Racing header? maybe that was the problem. i would see if a stock 4G63t exhaust manifold would fit.

 

x2 the hedder may not fit a 4g63

 

all i know is on megan racing site it say it fitts the 95-99 none turbo so if that is differnt that the 4g63 then i am wrong

 

No the heads should be the same for the 4G63T and the 4G63. The only real difference is valves from what I've gathered info wise. Therefore the 4G63T header should fit the 4G63 head and vice versa. I don't know about the 4G64 head though... I wouldn't think they'd be the same.

 

The 95-99 non turbo cars have a 420a in them except for the 96-99 gs spyder. Mitsu. used the 2.4 motor opposed to the 2.0 motor because the spyder weighed more and the 2.4 was a bigger motor, even though it only pumps out 10 more hp. The 89-94 non turbo cars came with a 4g63 and a 4g67 which share the same head as a 4g64 whish is the 2.4 motor in your car. Your trying to put a chrysler hedder on a mitsu motor.

So to make that clear, the 4g63t manifold will work on the 4g63 n/a motor along with the 4g64. The 420a is shaped much differently, thats why it wont work.

 

as slow said....you bought a manifold for the 420a not the 4G63. You have the 4G64 engine.

420a - 95-99 n/t eclipse
4G64 - 96-99 n/t eclipse spyders(this is what you have)
4G63 - 89-99 turbo eclipses.

 

Well there ya go.
