Where do you go about getting one of these? Is it a 7 bolt or 6?

The best engine I’ve had Yet!
Very smooth running, great throttle response, and much more power (stock)
The engine drops in with no problems, ill need to keep your old throttle body,
Cam sensor and Coils (different connectors)
Engine came with the “Cyclone” intake, which will give you great spool-up and low end torque

 

Virgin here again...
What are the differences between the cyclone and non cyclone? How about HP/Torque?

 

Can you put a 2G japanese motor in a 1G?

I know it depends on if its a 6 bolt or 7 bolt...

But do the mounts still work the same or not.

Instead of maybe getting all that engine work done to my car I will use a stock Jap motor untill i have the "extra $$$" to really do it right.

What do you guys think?

P.S. I can get the 2G Jap motors fo about $800-900 good deal?

BTW TalEvo... you can usually get them at an import used motor place. I have found a place in San Bernadino, Calif.

Look in the Recycler Paper if you have them where you live.

Besides the cyclone intake, what are the differences between the JDM engines and the ones in our cars?

 

ive even heard on the post while bacc peepo get those cyclones from japan with 16g's on them sumtimes...he siad his particulare engine wuz in bad condition tho..i think the only diff is the cyclone intake..which is supposed to give better spool up and great low end power.

 

IF that is the only diff (Intake) it would be pretty cool to be able to get a hold of just the Cyclone intake!

 

The differences in jap engines:
Cyclone intake - awesome low end and spool-up
Higher compression - low end and spool-up again
510cc injectors - more fuel
Big 16G - ocasionally... - mine came with 14B,
The engine I got is the 6-bolt, "big rod"

With the engine completelly stock, the way it came with original turbo (without any porting, stock I/C, and pyping) I was able to do 13.2 1/4mile, at 17Psi of boost

 

Will the cyclone work with the US ECU? If youre doing a turbo for turbo swap.

 

No problems with mine. The intake is vacuum controlled on mine...

At 17psi you can run a very low 13 on the stock U.S. 4G63 and 14B with intake and exhaust. Did you make that run with that motor with the rest of the car stock? I ran a 14.35 up here in Denver (remember that is over a mile high) with only an intake,2 and 3/8inch catback and my mbc set at 16psi.

 

Will these Jap spec Engines use the same engine/Intake/Exhaust mods as a 2G DSM? And if so where can I get one?

I'm still new to the whole import scene, are the Jap. spec engines a direct bolt in for a 2g GS-T? If not is it alot of work to make it fit?

 

I heard that the jap intake manifold doesn't flow as much and should be switched with the U.S. one. The jap one has smaller runers. 8 small ones if Im correct. 4 for low end and 4 for high end. It runs off a butterfly switch. Thought Id throw that out. Not sure if its true.

 

the jap spec engines have higher compression? dont you want lower compression for a turbo car?

 

higher compression is better but to high will blow ur head. lower compression is good because it avoids detonation real good with high boost. usually race cars use race gas 108 octane or higher. we can only use 93 thats why lower compression is better then higher compression

 

you still havent said where you can find one of these!

Should tell you everything you need to know.

 

Do you need the JDM tranny and transfer case for the cyclone?

 

?

When doing the swap on a 1G GSX (90) what all has to be done? Can you just get the engine and do a straight swap and your good to go? Or do you have to buy the trannie and what not? Where is a good place to get a good stock engine?Thanks,

Nope. I have my trans from a 7 bolt 1G in place. No problems.

You're in a bit better shape since you already have an external air to oil cooler. MOST from what I have seen have the air to oil cooler. SO, it depends on who does it. Throttle body is different, intake (obviously) is different, A/C wont fit as is (need some tweaking with the A/C bracket) plug wires are going to need to be custom made if you keep the JDM coil pack in the same place...

 

hey someone said the jap engines have higher compression. does anyone know what the compression is on them? is there any other differences between jdm and us besides the intake and possibly different turbo and injectors?

 

I believe its 9 to 1

 

I am unsure of compression... I've also heard 8.5:1. It is hard to tell with these motors. It is a craps shoot...

 

has anyone ever put a cyclone in a 1.8 NT..??..??

how possible is that
thinking fuelline/ecu-harness/etc.
