Default 4g63 swap

How hard would it be to swap in a 4g63 engine into a tib?

Anything is possible with enough money and time. However, with the amount you would spend on doing the swap would be way more than just getting a decent turbo kit and installing that on your tib.

It is MUCH easier to install a 4g63T into an older early 90s Excel. Good sleeper car and there isn't a whole lot of custom fab/welding to do.

The Beta has almost as much potential as the 4g63T also.

i think it's better to get a small turbo and call it a day. i've always wanted that alpine turbo kit.

Unless your me and you just want to be able to produce a sick AWD beast! I plan on doing that soon to my LC2. Got a few different shops to look at the car, over view the labor and fab work needed...it wont be cheep but at least id be sitting on a decent 200hp stock.

I always wanted to do a AWD 4G63T swap on an RD1. If I ever have enough money I think that would be nice to have.
