If you are building the motor and running a turbo the Evo8 head is the best you can do for a swap. Otherwise it is useless

I am not possitive. If I had to guess i'd say no. I know the Evo 8 head will with some work. Again unless you are building the bottom end and turboing the car looking for 400+ WHP it is worthless to do

You can use the 4g63 dohc head, it should be a direct bolt on. Also a 2g 4g63t exhaust manifold will bolt right up to the 4g64 sohc head.

The Evo 9 head won't work, the Evo 8 head will. FYI alot of Evo guys stroke thier motors. They use the 4g64 crank in order to do so. Which essencially makes it pretty much the same as what you have. With the exception your internals are not all that strong.

DON'T do a head swap first. That makes no sence at all. Plus it would actually be cheaper to go turbo first. You still need a built bottom end before the head swap as well. the reason is because the stock head and bottom end internals are only going to make mid 300WHP range at best. before you break the motor down. If you are not looking for more than that it is a waste to built the motor and swap and Evo head.

Being honest the cost to do what you want is so great that it will BY FAR out value the car and you will never get the return.
