d-50
Moderators: DJpowerHaus, mattmartindrift
I am having an idea for my d-50. I also have a spare 4g63t motor. I want to have around 200hp maybe a little more and I want the swap to be simple and cheap. does anyone know or tried to see if the 90-91 d-50 fuel injected heads bolt to the 4g63t motors. I know I wouldn't be to make the hp that I could with a dohc head but not changing the wiring harness and cas sensor and tstat housing head achs are eliminated. I even thought of just change the rods and piston from the turbo motor to the d-50 2.0 motor but I was told the bore and stroke was different. Please give me some input if you can.

i dont think anyone would be willing to "deformance" a car that way. if you want 200 horses, suck it up, do the swap with a stock motor and your set. as long as you take your time it would be worth it and be pretty reliable.

how would I be deformancing a d-50 by putting a turbo short block with a d-50 head. I know I could make more hp with a dohc but I am going for a simplier project and to save money with not as many custom parts. I also don't want my project to take forever like yours is. Yes I would love to do all the things you have done but you have done a lot of custom work that I don't want to do. I am just wondering if it will even work and what kind of compression ratio I will end up with.

You will lose power since the turbo shortblock is lower compression... [/quote]
among other things. IMO its just a bad idea.

Are you planning on going turbo? Does the stock turbo setup work with that SOHC head? If not you'd have to make a custom turbo manfold which would cost alot compared to just going DOHC. Now if you did a 2.0L SOHC with the turbo block you'd have a low compression, low revs, low fun motor.
Maybe you have another idea of how his can be made awesome. I dont see it though.

Getting the engine bolted in is about 10% of the way there.
The next 80% can go quickly with help and skill.
That last 10% takes about as long as the 90% that came before it.
