None if your trying to go cheap. Your better off turbocharging it and use parts off of DSM's. Only motors that would work is the 4G63t from EVO IV to EVO VIII. You can also go JDM with the 6A13tt but then your going to need a tranny from a FTO. Either way look to spend 5,000 and more to drop those motors in.

Can you tell me where I can get turbocharged for 99 galant. which one would be better new or used. Also tell me how much it will cost me to put in. Another question. i am trying to sell me 99 galant and buy 2003 galant GTZ. Do you recommend if GTZ v6 is better or 4 cylender. I know this question sounds stupid because six cylender is more powerfull. So I am waiting for someone's response. Thanks You Prophet for your response. I really appericiate.

First I would choose a I4 over the V6 and I'll tell you why....

There are just so many more options. You can not do these engine swaps with a V6. You can use DSM parts to build you a custom turbo kit. Can't do that with the V6. If you really wanting to do a mad swap keep your block and use a EVO VIII head. You can not do that with the V6 6G72.

You have two options with the V6. Supercharge it using RIPP mods SDS or use a turbokit from Tearstone. Either way your looking to spend about 3 to 4 g's. Now if you turbocharge your 4G64 with DSM parts you can easly bring your kit down to a $1,000.

For price range anywhere from $500.00 to a couple of G's for a turbo kit. All depending on the quality of parts. Used.. new.. ebay... junkyard.

So, it means I4 is better than V6. I am about to sell my car and I would buy 03 I4 model again. Because I also read on Internet that four cylander has better pickup and stuff. So it means that I should buy four cylander. I dont want to modify my car cause I have 123000 miles. So I need little newer and low milage. Otherwise I love my car and it looks really great.

But mileage is big problem. Hey if you can help me ith another proble. My winshield wipers do not work. They only work on high speed on pace of medium. Can you tell me what can be the problem. Some people say it is the new radio I oput. But Radio Instaler says its not that. A little help from you. Please. And thanks for replying me. I really appericiate it.

Sorry if I might sound like a dick but if you ask what is a head of an engine and think that it is headers then your going to have to do a whole lot more research before performing this swap. An engine comes mainly in two parts. The block which is the lower part of the engine where pistons and such are and the head is basically where the lifters cams and other parts are.
