could this work!?!

Hell yez u kan mek mo powa wid da vsizzle, twice the turbo twice the power, 2 16Gs on pump at like 12psi make over 400psi, you'd have to max a 16G on a dsm to even get that much.

2 16Gs maxed out on a 3S would get you over 700 easy, thats insane hp.
I say if you can do it, then get it done it would be so badass.


haha finally reasonable words!

lol im pretty sure a stock vr4 engine in a 97-99 gsx would be faster than the stock 4g63 that would come in it!!

You do realize that there are LOCAL cars making 600-700-800-1000whp on a 4G63 right?

The point is why try and reinvent the wheel? If you have the know-how and expertise to do this then I am all in for pics and a project thread, but realistically you can do so much with the 4G63 w/o doing a crazy swap it makes the idea seem laughable (thus some of the responses in this thread).

Besides, enough stuff breaks on these cars as it is!

oh yea i totally get that but the vr4 comes with 320hp stock and i could put not to much money into it to make it 400-500hp and i would be good right there i would need alot of money into the 4g63 to make it push 400-500 dont u agree on that?

hahaha worst thread/troll ever.

What's 'not a lot of money' vs 'a lot of money'

Again, it depends on your know-how and level of expertise. You could build a 500hp (or 500whp?) 4G63 for $5k pretty easily, whereas your vr4 swap would take who knows how much just to complete, then turbos, AEM EMS (no real cheap tuning solution for that platform, another drawback), turbos, intercoolers, exhaust, and all custom fab work b/c of the swap, oops you just spent another $10k!

Go buy a FMIC ($500-1000), Evo3 16g ($500), 1000cc injectors ($300), walbro fuel pump ($75), exhaust ($500-800), and DSMLink ($500), go see shane@DB Performance and voila, you have an insane fun setup(seriously!) and nearly the oh-so-coveted 500hp you are after. $3k total investment on top of your GS-T you have listed in your profile.

Spend the rest of the money from your swap on strippers and blow in vegas, savings, and a fund for when parts break on the DSM.

I want to see the vr4 swap, the powerband would be so much bigger at any power level and would only be improved upon making more power.

Plus if you are fwd, then you have more weight over the wheels = more traction.

I say do the swap good luck and bring that bitch to the cookout next year and win.

add me as a friend man

I'm going to go a different direction here...

Have you thought about what it'll do to the weight balance? The car's already 59% front 41% rear, and putting a heavier motor up front is supposed to help it do what exactly? The car will do one thing on power, and that's move in a straight line.

[turbotalon1g]

DSMs really don't do anything else too well.
