Get in contact with Hahn. I'm sure they can answer all your questions about turbocharging the 420A. Jason_ESI_T on this list may also have some insight for you.

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

The Magnus swap is the way to go and as for the trans. 1g trans, 2g trans, they bolt up the same. Do you have an Auto and thinking of a man. swap? Cause I wouldnt recomend that headache.

No I dont have on yet, looking into getting one within the next year. I definatly decided on getting a 97-99 GSX, black with a sunroof. Thats what im gonna be watching for. Unmodded if possible. Im prob looking at about 18 grand or so for one. I would drive it basically stock for the first few years of ownership, then start modding it with a 6 bolt 4g63 motor, bigger turbo and such. Im new to the whole thing, so i got alot of learning to do on turbo cars before i do anything to it. So my question for the experts is would a manual tranny be better to have than an auto? I find it boring to drive an Auto car, manuals are more fun, but is there any advantage to either one? Im not a fan of DSM auto trannys, i have 2 cars that both had bad trannys. My rebuilt tranny isnt even right, but cant do nothing about it now.

Get a manual and when you get a car hit me back and I'll give you some advice.
