    next to impossible. I think they're two completely different formats.

      could be done but lots of custom welding gs is a 420a and gst is a 4g63 you can fit an evo 3 hybrid in the gs but its about 4 to 5 gs depending or you can build the gs and believe or not it more powerful in torque than the gst ive had 4 in total

        It would be very tough. Lots of custom fabrication involved. Ive tried swapping mine the other way around. 4g63t into my gs, never heard of putting the 420a in the gst model. It can be done if you have the funds to make it happen.

          It could be done but meh the time and money wouldnt even be worth it, sell it save up some cash and get a GSX(AWD) Eclispe and swap in a 6-bolt. And watch out for crank walk.

              I have a buddy that took a first generation motor eclipse motor and put it into a 2nd generation eclipse, and boosted it to 19psi. Its fast as hell. Chews up wrx sti's.

                i think you have been misinformed.

                the reason 4g63t owners swap from a 7 bolt bottom end to a 6 bolt is because the 7 bolt had a more likely chance of crank walking.
                Unless it's hit it's 90,000 mile mark it still has the chance to do so.

                The 6 bolt 4g63t motor will not crank walk and has super low compression. This is not needed for the block those pistons are put in.
                The blocks have handeled up to 500 whp without failure.
                Because the 6 bolt has bigger beefier rods, and the crank is better held down in place.

                The ideal swap is getting the 6 bolt bottom end with the 7bolt head, because as time progressed so did the flow bench tests, and the smaller ports on the 7 bolt head outflow the 6 bolt everywhere except 8,000 rpm's and higher.

                once apon a time the 7 bolt head had to have the stud holes drilled out
                1mm bigger to fit the 6 bolt block.
                But now ARP makes head studs that tapper to swap the head with no machine work needed.

                as for swapping the n/a into a Turbo powerplant... i don't understand the reasoning, and would discourage it. As mentioned above.. the overwhelming amount of fabrication it would take would just be rediculous.

                I'd oupt out for putting the 4g63t motor in the accord before i would consider what your talking about.

                  very informative. hey buy one of m y motors and swap it in there hell its already been done to a civic. and crankwalks not an issue

                    yeah i have seen a 4g63t put in a civic and a s10, pretty kewl if you ask me..


                    that saves alot of money when it comes to having to build a motor for turbo and tuning...

                    i think the fabrication to putting it in a accord would be easier and cheaper than actually building any of the accord motors up to spec. and it it would be pre tuned along with the dsmlink that i have for in car diagnostics and tuning, is way easier, than all the ways we have to tune the accord right now.

                      I guess they must have seen the light ehh lol. And theres more aftermarket parts for us which makes things easier.

                        no joke , but the thing is the aftermarket parts are twice as good for only half the price parts are for the accords.. it's crazzy.

                          the best turbo motors are the ones that came that way from the factory. all the aftermarket companies have to do is improve on what the original manufacturer already spent a fortune designing, rather than going against it (as with boosting a non turbo engine)


                          and the 4g63 is a kickass motor. any reliability issues in the 6 bolt motors are due more to improper maintenance or old age than design flaw.

                            why bother? swap in a h22 and boost it.. it will be cheaper to build and still have money to play with than swapping in a non-honda motor to fab shit up

                              He's talking about an Eclipse. Not a Honda.
