So how hard would it be to Turbocharge a 1st gen GS(considering they have a n/a 4g63). Wouldn't it be basically the same work as buying a turbo upgrade gs-t? new turbo, fuel pump, injectors, afpr, and like safc2 or Dsmlink? I dont have any plans to do this, or would I really want to. Just curious about it

 

Yes it would. However internally, the motors are different. Pistons, rods, cams... maybe other things im missing. Basically you can turbo it doing the same mods you would normally do to a GST but you would only be able to run low boost thanks to the high comp ratio pistons... that means even stock boost would be too much for the engine to handle safely.

 

ya the best thing to do would to get a engine from a gs-t and rebuild it with a bigger turbo but thats just what im gana do with my 1st gen 94

 

wow well thats just depressing then.

 

To add on and agree...
Adding a turbo to the N/A 4g63 is like adding a turbo to any other N/A motor, the same process and the same issues...the good news is that there's a turbo 4g63 that you can swap into there withought issues...just remember to get the ECU.
The amount of money spent to make the N/A motor more powerful will add up really fast compared to just dropping in the turbo motor.
The bottom line, $3k in mods will get you further on the turbo motor, than the n/a with less regrets later.

 

just make sure if you plan to do it, that you get a nice 6-bolt. I happen to have one that i am selling extremely cheap

 

how cheap is extremely cheap? and what kind of condion is it in?

 

I have it posted in the FS section $100. With internals. The only thing i would do is rebuild it just to have a nice zero miles engine . But all the internals are good.

 

hmmm it might be worth buying, just to have... where are you located and what is the apx weight of the block w/o the internals?

 

no idea on the wieght but i live in middleboro, ma
