a 6 bolt swap b/c i always hear of people talkin about it and i have no clue what it is?
or even a 7 bolt? and whats the difference btwn them

 

Go to vfaq.com, it'll explain everything! To sum it up its just the # of bolts on the flywheel.

 

A 7 bolt motor is teh motor found in the 1992.5-1999 dsm's. The 6 bolt can be found in years 1990-1992.5 dsm's. The 7 bolt has been known to crankwalk more than any other engine known to man. The 6 bolt is the least likely to crankwalk of all engines therefore it is a prime engine to swap into a dsm originaly eguiped with a 7 bolt.

 

ok? i kinda understand can u tell mea couplemore things?
what does my eclipse rs have in it? its basicallystock 1997
and what does dsm stand for and mean?
thanks

 

Where talking 4g63 engines so it doesn't pertain to you.

Go to google and search dsm, i'm not going to explain it for you.

 

your RS has a chrysler 420a motor in it

 

DSM= Diamond Star Motors

dude, don't be so freakin harsh.

 

yea i agree every time i get on here everyone has to be a di** thanks man

 

Just dont like lazy people lol.

You could have easily found the answer in 20 seconds on google.

 

I have a GS and I get alot of crap about it beacuse it's not the turbo motor like most of the tunners on here. The rs and gs motors are the same. the 420A motor has eight bolts the hold the flywheel on not 6 or 7 like the 4g63 likt the turbo guys. hope this helps.
