Dilemma - Engine Transplant Help

[tatatititututoto]

I'm in a serious dilemma now. I need to transplant my engine in 3weeks mine but i dunno what to choose. First thing's first. My budget is 15k, my car is a 1.3 satria. The part of JPJ clearance from 1.3 to 1.8 dun worry. I got ppl who can kautim for me. Now i need some help deciding what engine to choose.

Selection 1:
4G63t (VR4-RS Halfcut)
4G67 Engine kosong.
Transplant all the VR4-RS parts in to the 4G67 block and pay 1.8 roadtax.
Nissan Fairlady/Lexus/SR20 pistons.

PRO:
Engine modification parts easier to get.
Can take boost up to 1.5bar with out problems.

CONS:
Evo engine mounting f*cking hard to get.
Kenot use VR4 gearbox.
Engine is freaking old.
Petrol guzzler.


Selection 2:
4G93t (GSR Halfcut)
TwinPot EVO/VR4 Brakes.
VR4 Intercooler.

PRO:
Engine is newer, thus lesser headache.
More fuel saving.
Can kahwin with 'MIVEC' head.

CONS:
Engine modifications parts more difficult/expensive.
Engine is quite 'weak'.
Not that durable.


I have listed out my 2 selections, and I wish that all the sifu's out there can gimme a better understanding in which engine should i select. Both also are 1.8. Oh yeah, my ultimate aim is to boost up to 1.2bar. Will also install blowoff valve, wastegate, metal gasket, bigger fuel pump, injectors and piggyback.

Thanks alot.

hi there..im not sure watever ill tell u will help..but i suggest u go for 4g93t..im using vr-4 now..if i had a chance i wanna change it to 4g93t...vr4 is heavy,like u said its old..if u get the gsr...if ur willing to spend then rebuilt the engine...and vr4 got alot of prob wan la...i go to workshop until sien oledi la...seriously...think about it bro~ hope it helps...cheers!!

Urm... evo engine mounting where got hard to get?? Just pay a little bit more for stuff from Ralliart malaysia lah. Last I checked they have the Evo3 mountings on stock wat..

IMHO, Go for 93T, mod a bit and you might be pleasantly suprised!! Good luck

I think its pretty easy to choose.

If you have money to maintain choose 1, if not choose 2.

I will go with GSR because I move a lot, and I'd like an engine that I could trust.

Plunk it in, full service, overhaul, and love the ride.

4G63 from VR4 is very reliable... provided u overhaul it b4 installation!

 

[tatatititututoto]

alamak i now even more confused... :(

 

[badguy]

VR4 is 2.0 not 1.8 anymore

 

[Stewart]

if u like old skool got for 1 if not go for 2..
haha..

i would take 4g93t if i'm u..

 

[gsrTurbo9166]

yo bro
i'm driving a gsr
in my opinion this engine is a very reliable engine
no problem at all since i convert till now
it is better to choose gsr than 4g67 with vr4 components

 

[QuickShift]

Option 1 is good only if you can get a standard 2 wheel drive RS gearbox; plunk in a EVO 2 or 3 to and make sweet music on the road. Since you can kow-tim JPJ, grind the engine number off and buy a 4G67 'birth-cert' with engine number for registeration. I know this has been done before.

 

[kher]

If u can kautim JPJ n gila power 1 go for choice 1 la...

I believe it can be abused more than GSR.
But plz check for the wear n tear 1st b4 planting it into ur car.
Otherwise u'll start to get probs n get fed up wif the engine.

N wif ur budget u should afford to get a decent engine management. That'll help u save petrol n jaga ur engine.

go for 4g93t. like boosook said, 4g63 really heavy xD if i can turn back time i'll go with 4g93t

 

[cs2000]

[boosook]

go for 4g93t. like boosook said, 4g63 really heavy xD if i can turn back time i'll go with 4g93t

aiyak , this thread reflects my post early 1 year ago :P

for my opinion , if u gonna mod it then its the 63t , if u gonna play standard then its the 93t

63t aftermarket parts are everywhere
93t parts abit harder to get

63t u can alwiz kahwim evo stuff
93t u can kahwim mivec head ler

63t u can boost 1.4bar without a headache
93t u can boost 1bar without a headache

63t u can alwiz opt to 20g turbine without worying bout lag
93t u take td05 also u lag kaw kaw

63t u already have a nice big intercooler in default
93t u take big intercooler u add your lag

63t u got stroker kits to play with
93t stroker errr dunno

63t u got 240-280hp
93t 180hp and to get 240 gotta spend lots of $

63t u got 2.0 default
93t to get 2.0 errr

63t no mivec head to play
93t can play high rev with mivec head bt still low compression

63t evo3 got high compression system
93t only one standard compression

63t upgrade availability is sooo much
93t alwiz got a headache with upgradability

63t in my car
63t very slow
63t no need lar
63t not nice lar

p/s : i tink u got fully confused hahahaha , bt i just need more spareparts , hehehehe
