4G63 reliability
Well I'm considering picking up a 1G Eclipse GSX, and I was wondering what your impressions of the 4G63 are. I've always been a rotard, and I'm used to the rotary reliability. What are the 4G's like. I've heard they tap out at 180K is that true? Also what kind of power can the stock block handle. I know a built engine can craank out 400 whp reliability, but I was just going to slap this thing together and make it a fun daily driver. Let me know your experianced impressions.

Re: 4G63 reliability
I had an evo with a 4g63, drove it for a month, ****** jumped a tooth on the timing belt, and bye bye.
its sitting in the junkyard now. I will never again own a 4g63.
maybe it was a bad motor or something. dont know. I hated it, and im not going to write about the cooling issue I had with it...
dont get me wrong, the motor can easily make huge amounts of power, but keeping it working correctly is another task in itself.
you get a good one or a bad one. no in between.

Re: 4G63 reliability
what ever you do, don't ask any dsm guys. they will all tell you how great they are.
everyone i've known with a dsm had major issues, but they are all dumbshits when i comes to cars so maybe it was them and not the cars
on that note i'm thinking about getting a 1g eclipse gsx or talon tsi.
however i work on my own cars, and want a pos beater.

Re: 4G63 reliability
The motor is a great motor, but everything bolted to it is a piece of ----. But like said before if you are use to a roto, than you will love the reliabilty of the 4G63....lol
Upgrade the turbo, exhaust, injectors, and the side mount, turn the mbc to the NOG setting and you are good for some smiles.
Then you get to start replacing everything that is bolted to the car, because its a dsm
