swapping a 4g63t into a fwd talon 93

i am looking at swaping a 4g63t into my FWD auto talon 93
i currently have a jdm 4g63 n/a in it now, can anyone tell me what would need to be done to swap this in and keep it FWD?
i know i am going to have to mod the front end but i need to know what needs to be done and about how much it would cost, preferably in CDN prices

This swap is very similar to an Eclipse FWD swap. The main difference is the cams will point the other way because of drivetrain.

Get the real thing. Swapping the motor is not taht feasible man. Considering there are evos on sale for 25K. Might as well save up and get a used evo. It is not like honda b18 swapping into hatchback civic. It is not nearly as easy. Save yourself some money and alot of trouble. If I were you, I just drive that talon and save up the money. Finding a used EVO is not that hard. Good luck in whatever you decided to do.

Why don't you just turbocharge it since its already a 4g63?

My suggestion would be to sell your current car and buy a 1G GSX or GS-t (do they have FWD 1G DSM? I guess yes, someone correct me if I'm wrong).

Swapping an DSM/EVO I-III engine into your car is do-able but not financially feaseable.

Good luck.

like lan evo said money. Though if money is not an issue then this is what you have to do. Get your sel the 4g63 turbo engine. when you do sometimes it comes with the trany already for you if not you might want to get that too. other than that just mod the engine mounts and thats about it. turbo ecu ofcourse. but you can do it. its alot esier for you to do that than me. i drive a fwd talon soon to be a awd lol. im thinking of doing the same engine swap. to give you a rough estimate of how much is going to cost me to conver a 420a to a 4g63turbo it is going to cost me 2000 + tax for engine includes tranny and 1 year warranty from go motors in anaheim. !200 for instalation. and 400 or depending for tunning. and another 1000 for conversion of awd on wheels well what i mean im just going to put everything of a turbo talon to my esi. i know its alot but the engine has has 4000 miles on it so its good deal. while if you buy another car withthe turbo engine. you might have to deal with high miles already. well my 2 cents and a rough over view of price to do it. like i said this are estimates and not the real thing .
