can a 4G63 SOHC bolt a turbo?

kokchiew2 · Aug 4, 2005

Can anyone giv sum technical advice whether the old 4G63 SOHC engine be bolted a small turbo in order to increase the HP/Torque?

even u bolt-on turbo...it is not worthy coz u need to upgrade other things

u better take d money n get a 4G63T or gsr turbo...more powerful for sure

kokchiew2 · Aug 4, 2005

hmm..wad u said is correct...but isn't it be more interesting to upgrade a normal 4G63 SOHC to a turbo rather than drop in a whole 4G63 DOHC engine.......do u noe anyone else did it b4..?

drop in 4G63t n mods is more fun.....4G63 sohc bolt on is fun but waste energy lo....nothing to mods except bolt-on turbo rite?

if u hv extra money la....mods for ur hobby

Go to Forced Induction page and SEARCH for "TURBO KIT" or "BOLT ON TURBO"

i also have think about that, but prob maybe on the wiring so what we could do is remapping the ecu for turbo la... i got 1 ecu for perdana sohc wiring which can be remap back again n again... but da block cant be so tough compare turbo's block ar that another prob...

Boosting a stock NA engine at 0.5 bar will improve V/E (inherent "weakness" of any NA engine) tremendously without exerting too much stress on the engine.

Unless driven abusively, a turbocharged N/A engine will last and perform very well.

yup u can..bolt on..hv to cari parts from 4g63t like exhaust manifold, turbine tdo4/td05, piping etc..

a lot of work got to do..
better to change to low compression piston, metal gasket etc...

my frenz turbokitted his 1.6 sohc auto using 4g93t parts..doing well only problem with fuel supply..safc will help...

if u like to mod step by step sure it will be fun...

I know wat u meant by the interesting.....upgrading it from NA to turbo is more intesresting than upgrading a turbo engine to more powerful...But power that u can squeeze out u should know how much la....

Can be done by changing some parts and of coz u muz hav a proper engine management so that it'll function properly... A tuner told me this...

Before bolt-on turbo, ensure that your current engine is still healthy... mine is not, that's why transplanting to 4G63T (from RS) in 3 months from now.

Current engine, a 4G63 DOHC 16V is crapping on me... RM 80 = 310km only. High FC! :(
