Since there is nothing wrong with your current car, why trade it for something that doesn't run?

You need to make up your damned mind though, everyone is sick of seeing a different thread every month about the great idea you have this month.

1. NA beast.
2. Turbo.
3. Sell it all.
4. Turbo again.
5. Go RD2.
6. Maybe SC?
7. Trade it in on something that doesn't run.

There are several modifications that are needed for the 4g63t swap in a GS. You might be getting in over your head.

Since you are already thinking of swapping an engine, consider this:

Buy a beta and tranny. Get a hoist donated from somewhere.

Build the engine. Turbo it, headwork, rods, pistons, cams, IM, TB, engine management, get the exhaust ready.... beef the tranny up with a new clutch and flywheel perhaps... and swap it all into your 97 Tib at the same time. This will give you time to get the money and gradually buy the parts, something to look forward to, and a powerful beast at your disposal.

He says he wants a new tib because the suspension is "falling apart" on this one.

Just a FYI, the 4G63T will NOT be a direct drop in on any Eclipse that was originally N\A.
