Link at ECMLink forums http://www.ecmtuning.com/forums/showthread.php?t=89442 on what I have done so far, it's not complete on everything but fairly close, mostly just maintenance stuff right now, I'm using it as my daily to keep miles off my 90 Talon TSi.


Question, will a 4G63 just bolt right up to the transmission on these things? I'm told it will, but do I have to change the flywheel or anything? Just slapping a 4G63 to it sounds to good to be true. I'm not building a monster, I just want something that wont get run over starting off in traffic. So the plan is a pretty much bone stock DSM turbo engine just with a FMIC I have laying around and replace a few of the worst choke point components like if it's a 6 bolt the 1g TB elbow etc. and leave it be.

So besides plumbing is there anything I need to know about? With the cable clutch setup work? Will the flywheel work? I got several ECU's.. none EPROM.. but I don't plan on doing much with this in the way of big injectors so I don't think it will matter. I suppose I might go with a 7 bolt and use a 2g ECU instead of one of the old ass 1g OBDI ecu's I have, so I can use the 2g MAF without needing to reflash.
