Engine options
Gidday,
First, hi to all - very helpful website
I own a 95 Manual non-MIVEC with a 6A12 GR, and am looking at my options. I see there is a ton of information here, so forgive me for asking this.
But what would be my most viable option? Slapping a turbo on the side of the current engine or what I quite like the idea of is the 4G63T... or the seemingly much more popular 6A13TT option? I like the idea of the 63T as there is a ton of aftermarket options available for it..

Hey, thanks for the replies, and thanks for moving this after a 70hr week my head's not quite right lol
To be honest with you, I think I'd like to go with the 4G63T option the most. Doing the 6A13TT I would want to change it to single T and off the bat, I would rather have a stock set up to begin with and work on it over time. If I went the 6A13TT - would I be able to keep the gear box I have?
What would I be looking at for the 4G63T conversion, not so much price wise, but more work and component wise..?
I'm not building this for 1/4 mile or launching madness - the car is being built as a long haul, twistie's muncher
Thank you for your help, it is very much appreciated

If you go the 63T make sure it is from an Evo 4+ because the gearboxes are obviously on the wrong side ont he earlier ones. Once you have an engine, source yourself some engine mounts from the GS FTO that has the wheezy 4G93 atmo engine; I believe that will be your best bet at mounting the bastage.
Someone correct me if I am wrong.
As for what you need, if you are going to keep her stock for no; engine, loom, sensors, intercooler, fuel pump, oil cooler etc from the donor car (I have the VR4 fuel pump from the donor Legnum in mine). Then add intercooler piping, perhaps a custom radiator, definitely new radiator piping, new plumbing for the oil cooler, battery relocation (really should be done) and I cannot think of a lot more.
Would be nice to see another 4G63T FTO linked here, most are just pipe dreams so hop to it if I did it all again it would be a 4G.

Dont forget thou, it should be a later model Evo motor, 5 & upwards. Anything but from a 4. They are the crank-walk models.

lol awesome
So as long as its not a Evo 4 series motor, it should be fine? Or was the CrankWalk issue solved post Evolution 4 series? Would a 63T from a RVR be a option...? or would it have to be a Evolution or VR4 series 63T...?
I'm guessing the factory Evo 63T's were tickled some compared to the likes of the VR4 or the RVR series...? Would that be a fair assumption?
I had to flip a north-south engine to a horizontal mount for a past project, would simply rotating the engine 180 degree's be difficult?
Sorry for the hundred questions

flipping would be more trouble than it's worth, and I would assume it would require some pretty extensive bellhousing modifications to make a box fit. If I am wrong then blech
As for tickling? Much tickling was done to the Evo engines... the first VR4 (especially the RS engines) through to the EvoIII engines were hella strong; EvoIV was the first year that Mitsu started to worry about weight... I guess that is where they tried to shave the pounds as well as many other areas (the crank) though I do not actually have any idea what crank walk is (someone care to explain?).

RVR I believe is modeled off the earlier Evo's engine ...
I just had to add it ......
