Is It Worth It.

Ok well i bought a 98 GS for 3000$.had about 70,000 miles on it.is it worth it to throw 4g63t in?or is it worth it to do anythnig to to be honest.body is in good shape and just bought carbon fiber hood for it but tell me is it going to be worth it to throw money into it when it.or better yet does it have a chance to beat anything when i stick the 4g63t in it as a auto tranny? but heres a pic u tell me also tell me if u want mor epics of inside or close ups.

You cant put a 4g63 in a rs or gs.  The best thing you can do is
to just do body work and make it a clean ride.  If you want something with more power potential, look into getting a gst or gsx.

yea it would be very tim comuming to put the turbo computer + turbo wiring into the car. i was down the same path you were.

im diggin the headlights and carbon fiber hood nice touch

Why not?

It will not fit in the engine bay, at least not without alot of fabrication.  The rs and gs engine bay is a full 4 inches smaller than the gst/gsx.

Because cost wise it just isnt worth it. There is alot of custom fabrication that goes into it. It is by no means a direct swap. The engine mounts dont line up and youll have problems fitting it with the front crossmember. Also the engine is mounted 180 degrees from the 4g63. Its just not cost effective when you could just buy a 4g63 eclipse in the first place.
 
And to the OP, yea its not too bad of a price. Just dont expect it too me fast. Its a reliable good gas mileage car as that is what it was intended. Anything more than that costs a decent ammount of money to even get it over 200whp. So thats just something to keep in mind. Performance aside, its seems like a solid deal

Maybe you can just buy my '99 GS-T with 52K miles in a few months

Thanks for the info.

<----doesn't know squat about DSM's.

I C.i had in my mind that it would be a direct swamp and i would beable to put in the 4g63t.this saddens me owell i guess i keep hood and lights for the new eclipse progject lol time to start looking for my gsx or gst i guess.thanx for the info.

but no possible way to put 4g63t in it aye?so best idea to sell keep hood and move on?

If you want performance then yes.  Sell it and guy you a gsx, you can usually find them for anywhere between 6-10k.

LOL,dont want an EVO,i like buying vars i can work on unfortunatley i wish i would have gotten on here befor ei paid 3k for this care i got 1000 more to pay on it than i guess im out to look for osmthing differant dont know if i will get another mitsubishi or not this is the second one i have had.but anyways any words of advice?or anything that may motivate me?

You can find a 500hp GSX for 7-8k : )

Try ebay, dsmtrader.com, or dsmtalk.com

what about the japanese "cyclone" motor?? does anyone have info on that?? It's a 4g63t motor but the manifold is moved and the fuse box and all that crap is set up like the 420 motor.. I don't know TOO much about them but my mechanic put it in a gs and he said it fit with VERRRY little mods. The engine runs for about $3,000 tho.

Thats too much ^^
