        A buddy of mine in our car club has the vg30dett for sale up here, but i think it would be a real slap in the face to nissan owners if i converted the car to mitsubishi. Money isnt the problem its more the meaning of the project to me. It already has evo 8 wheels on it, might as well continue with it. right? Anyways I used to own the blue talon that was at p10 the first 2 years and now i have an evo so im definitely dsm at heart.

          i'm not so sure i would want a v6 if i had the chance to use an i4, expecially the 4g63. if money isn't the real limiting factor, figure out what you want from this car when it's done. drift, autox, road-race, drag? my vote is for the 4g63, but not if you're looking for something to give you great balance

                  Don't listen to these dumbasses. They dont know what originality is. Keep on with the 4g63. And slap those Nissan bitches faces all over the place!

                        I have to agree with Mr rotary. :icon_geek:

                        Best "bang for the buck" is the LSX motors.

                                        if you still wanna swap the engine...eh....whatever.

                                          There is absolutley nothing wrong w/ the 6 bolt 4G63 motor. It'd be one of my first choices for a 4cyl RWD swap. 4G63>>>Subaru motor
