hard swap??
i came upon a a real cheap 89 colt with a 1.5 l in it... low mileage, and rust free.. now i have it on hold to buy till i find out how hard is it to swap a 4g63T in it with a tranny... a FWD of course.
i have seen a few but enever had a chance to ask any one a of them. 1- is it hard to fit the tranny-engine in the old one? do he engine mounts fit right in? 2- the shift linkage, is there alot of fitting ? how? 3- the exaust, now that must need a bit of fitting since the car sisint even turbo so.. still... how much? 4- and finally, the electricals... how hard to fit the 4g63t ECU to the original wiring loom.. speculating that you put the 4g63 ecu in place of the old one. 5- am i forgetting anthing? ah yes an intercooler.. well that i can do easily. anybody can fill me out on the rest?

colt
yes the 4g63 will bolt right in..
the exhuast you can use off a stock talon tsi or eclipse or laser aslong as its turbo and fwd...or go w/ 2.5 mandral bent... personally if doing the swap id go w/ an early dsm engine...like from a 1st gen talon eclipse or laser...comes w/ a 6bolt fly wheel..and the engine is less likley to crank walk.. and im actually in the same boat as u i just bought a 92 colt to do the swap in... hope it helps Jesse |
