4G64 2.4L into 1gb dsm...

[s1ngletracker]

so since my bottom end seems pretty much done, I need some input on what i'm considering doing.

Lor has a 2.4L bottom end for sale. How easily will this bolt into my 93 TSi?

What I know:
-I know a 6 bolt head will bolt up
-I know I will need a different timing belt
-depending if its a 6/7 bolt, I may need different head studs
-4G63 head gasket will work

Some questions I have:
-Will my power steering bracket and pump bolt up?
-Will my A/C compressor bolt up?
-Does it use the same timing belt tensioner, idler, tensioner pulley?
-Will it run on my stock ECU? I'm assuming I need a chip/tune

Anything else I should know about this swap? This will be in a daily driver, so reliability is key.

Thanks!

Everything will bolt up. The only difference in the block is the deck height and bore. You can use a 1g head no problem. The only thing is you will need a set of 2.4lt cam gears, and a 2.4lt timing belt. I've got a set of almost brand new 2.4lt cam gears from mitsu just sitting in the top of my tool box if you need them.

alright, but how about the tuning question? I assume it won't run well on the stock ECU.

How do you actually plan on mounting that motor in the engine bay? Yea, everything will bolt up to that motor, besides the actual car, unless it's a 1G 4G64. :)

Good call... Will the stock mounts not work on this motor? I guess I assumed the stock mounts would work. Did I assume wrong?

You should really do some research, this topic has been covered approx 9000 times since 2001.

Yeah, i spent about 2 hours trying to find some sort of comprehensive guide or answers to these questions, and I could not. Trust me, I searched. All I could find was bits and pieces, and not much directly related to putting it in a 1g.

now that I know motor mounts will be an issue, will be reading up on that.

If you have any links, feel free to provide them!

ALso, it is a 6 bolt 4G64, if that makes a difference.

[Shane@DBPerformance]

If it's a 6-bolt then it might work, the more common 7-bolt 4G64s have a different motor mount setup that won't work in a 1G. You can put a 1G motor into a 2G easy, but not the other way around.

Floppy is right, man don't be an idiot like that girl that picked up that clean working car.

[Goat Blower]

Yeah, that makes a difference. 6-bolt 2.4's have the required roll stopper mounts, so you're good to go. I'd probably visually verify just in case it's some oddball motor, but it should have them.
