4g64 crank in 4g63 (6 bolt )

Hey guys just wondering if the 4g64 6 bolt crank can be used in a 4g63 6 bolt block with the stock 1g turbo rods and pistons? I just picked up a GSX that needs a bottom end rebuild and I have all the parts I need laying around to fix it minus the 4g63 6 bolt crank ( I just sold it a couple weeks ago ...

Honestly if they are 3rd party I wouldn't but them, if its a distributor with alot of backround on the product then google there name for reviews. I am buying mine directly from Wiseco that way if they are in anyway wrong when I get them and measure them with my micrometer or damaged while shipping ...

Definitely go with the lower CR if you wanna run crazy boost... or put in some flat toppers and run a 4g63 crank (12mm LESS stroke) and 1g turbo big rods and run crazy RPM and Boost together with no chance of engine interference in the case of a lost timing belt. and probably about 7.0:1 CR ...

Well my goal is what my trans can handle basicly, 450hp is a lot of power and I think I will be happy with it for this car. I want a streetable car that I can track and auto-x. I think that goal is easily attainable and can be made "reliable". If I was gonna shoot for 600hp I would be using a ...

Wow, misinformation again. I guess this board needs someone to clean up around here.

All sirius series engines run the same rods. 1.6, 1.8, 2.0 and 2.4 liter motors all run the same size rods.

And getting a set of "custom" pistons is no more expensive than an off the shelf set. Obviously one ...

The balance shaft kit I got coming is from FFWD, the stubby shaft has the oil groove, its all mitsu parts sold by them in the kit. As far as the pistons go I haven't decided to go with weisco yet, I might have a custom set made. I knew you had fitment issues with the 1g rods on your build but your ...

Well I found out that weisco is the cheap option at this point, they make a set for this application which was suprising, JE doesn't make them so thats a custom set $$$$$, Mahle was the same way $$$$ customs. The Weisco ones aren't too expensive at like $550 shipped with wrist pins, and rings, also ...

What kind of boost are you pushing with it and are you using pump gas? Do you wish you would have went higher or lower in CR?

Hey guys, I finally have my major mechanical bits for my starion swap, I have a 4g64 6 bolt wideblock, and a 4g63 head, still sourcing odds and ends because my 4g63 motor was not a complete one from the yard. I plan on using some 1g rods in my block with the 4g64 crank but cannot seem to find where ...

Sell it and buy a real project car that has actually been modded before, from the sounds of it being your first project you might want to stick to something thats been done before........ Unless you have deep pockets, then slap an LS1 in it and twin charge it, haha.

I know its not going to be cheap but I'm not going to pay any labor besides a dyno tune. I am going to do a lot of craigslist and junkyard shopping too. Sounds like you have a really nice setup. Have you worked with any of the local tuning shops?

Are you on DSMTUNERS.com? They have a full section on 4g64 building, then apply the mounting a routing info from here. Theres not much engine building discussion here.

The 4g64 would be better overall if you are going to autocross for the higher torque to get moving from slow speeds. On a track ...
