Re: 4G63 reliability
 

watch out for the 7bolt motors they are prone to crank walk, the bolts are not.

Re: 4G63 reliability
 

I hear a lot of hating going on from either people who've never owned one going on hearsay, or by people that bought beat to ---- DSM's. It's true that the 1st gen tranny's are kinda weak, but like said...if you can get it rebuilt to hold power you won't have an issue with it. Maintenance is key on the 4g63, probably a bit more so than your average honda. As long as you keep up on that you won't have any issues with a 6 bolt bottom. Obviously stay away from the 2nd gen with the 7 bolt, although the typical crank walk found on them is usually clutch related to the point of wearing out the thrust washers. 400whp on a stock 4g63 is pretty typical if you do the right upgrades...larger turbo, fmic, cams, tuning (other than an afc) can land you right where you want...in vette stompin' land. The comment with the timing belt issue...they should be replaced often, more so on the 4g63 than a honda. I just did mine on my Evo at 60k even though the old belt looked solid, Gates Racing kevlar belt ftw! Honestly you can't beat the cast iron solid deck design...I say go for it! ;D

I just sold my GVR4 a few months ago. Car had 180k and still had the original engine. It was pretty much stock except for exhaust and stuff like that but every oil seal was leaking but like I said, original engine and started up every morning and never let me down. I drove it like it was glass though as it was my daily driver. Will I ever go back to a DSM...nope. I'm happy with my Volvo.

I had a 2g non turbo, friend had a 2g Talon turbo, and another friend had a 2g GST. All I can say is electrical nightmares. I finally gave up and sold it for $1000 less than I paid for it not to mention all the money I forked over within the past month tracking down the issue. :7 Guy bought it and within a month the tranny took a ----

they do require maintenance....but what car at 750+ hp doesn't
how many hondas do you see that run high nines that are reliable

Re: 4G63 reliability
 

My point exactly. How many honda's even hit 400whp reliably? Not too many...

Re: 4G63 reliability
 

as mentioned here, awesome engine, provided engine doesnt crank-walk its way to death, DSM owners are some crazy people, my buddy with his AWD 1G was ------ crazy, drove with so much busted ---- on his car, busted ass interior, few dents, busted lights... he drove with no power steering belt for ~3 years :6 and had a busted CTS that cause warming up to be pretty damn rough... and had a front half-shaft pop out, just got on it till the center viscous warmed up enough to drive the rear exclusively, made for some slow ass around town moving(the center diff worked like a damn terrible torque converter)... he had a parts car AWD 1G also, and a D50 with a 4G64 wideblock, he had a HUGE project for that, but we ghettoly finished it and it ran a total of ~4 times till the valves met the pistons.... at the end of it he got another car for free from his dad (96 altima) and sold both DSM's and his D50 for $1500... believe me though, his 1G was what made me want to boost my car, amazing engines, just unreliable. oh yeah and as for the 4G64 wideblock with stock 64 pistons and 63 head (~12.5:1) and a 4G63 ECU wired up, this was the thread we posted when we got it running http://projectzerog.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=252

Re: 4G63 reliability
 

That shouldn't be in the same sentence as DSM. They are just built shitty. Sure the 6 bolts are decent motors, everything else pn them is just cheap trash.
