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?

Hmm didnt realize that the 94 4G63 motor was as much of a risk of crankwalking as a 2G, i assumed it was very rare for that year. I must have gotten lucky with mine. It made it 125,000 wonderful miles before a buick lesabre car destroyed it. LOL
Anyways my plan is to get a 97-99 Eclipse GSX and eventually do a 6 bolt 4G63 swap after i get the car paid down a bit. I will prob have it built up a bit so i can run higher boost and not break it. I read the thing on magnusmotorsports and it doesnt seem to be a big deal to do. My question can the stock tranny, turbo and such for that year can be kept, i wont need a 1G tranny would I? Plus is a manual better to have than a Auto for a turbo car? Thanks -------------------- 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS- Pretty daily driver
