I have a 1999 mitsubishi eclipse rs and i have been looking into a JDM motor swap. I was looking into the 4g63 cyclone but im told that it wouldnt mount up right and it would be very hard to do. What would be a good turbo motor i could swap with?

Yes it will be very difficult. You actually don't even have a 4g63 in your car now. The 2g NA cars have the chrysler 420a 2.0 motor. The swap would require you to swap wiring harnesses, ECUs, Motors, Trannies, along with a million other things. I'm not sure anyone has ever tried this, especally with a 99, since it's still fairly new. My suggestion, even though it might not be what you want to hear, is to sell your car, and find an AWD. You'll be much happier in the long run, and have a lot of extra cash in your pocket.

If you really want to keep your car and go turbo, look at the hahn racecraft turbo kits. They seem to be the best around.

Just my .02

Good luck

Rob
