Mitsubishi Repair: 95 eclipse engine swap, eclipse gs, turbo model


Question
can it be done. I want to put a 95 4G63 DOHC Turbo 5 speed awd into a 95 eclipse gs fwd automatic. i found the engine i want and the 5 spd awd transmission. i was just wondering how hard it is to swap.

Answer
Ros,
Swapping a non-turbo engine with a turbo engine can be done, but I HIGHLY recommend against it.  It's really difficult and not worth the time, money, or effort.  It's usually easier and cheaper to find and buy a turbo model with AWD.  But if you want to know what's involved, you can get an idea from the site below:

Good luck!
