6g74 route

[Lancelot_GT]

Also, has anyone ever considered installing one of the 6G74 GDI engines into one of our cars? Would it work?

[MR2]

Probably Ray would be a good person to approach to get you someone to make a crate engine. and no-one has gone GDI yet...as it needs a crazy computer to control the timing & Fuel system (quite different from a normal computer I keep getting told)

[IPD]

the problem with going GDI or MIVEC (which are both great technologies) is that you encounter diminishing returns. you're adding considerably to the complexity of the motor while gaining relatively little in return. it's kind of like the supercharger vs. turbocharger argument for our platform. sure, superchargers have potential; but the support is already there for turbochargers. that's why RIPPmods doesn't service our platform any longer. (although, personally, i think he could have gone further if he'd offered twin-screw impellers, not centrifuge ones).

a stock motor on td04's can put out > 500whp. a stroker on 16g's can dyno whp numbers which SHIT on the chp numbers that a c6 zr1 makes--ON PUMP GAS!

it's not a question of feasibility, it's a question of worth, imho. you can make ANYTHING work if you have the time, talent and dedication to do it. the reason you won't see it is the same reason you don't see 3/s owners with penske suspension setups.

I just did a little bit of research about the engine and you're right about the complications. I didn't realize it was operated with a fly-by-wire throttle system as well. Well scratch that idea. 6G74 DOHC for me!

I'm getting so damn confused with all this info. So If one were to get a 6g74 DEBONAIR jdm engine it is a direct drop in with no changes needed?

Correct, It's all on John monnins website in plain english.
the ONLY...........ONLY drop in, FWD orientated 6G74 is from a JDM Debonair.
6G74 DOHC from a Pajero/montero can fit but without a minor parts collection.

If putting the FWD Debonair engine into an AWD 3-4mm has to be shaved off a small part of the block, as well as modding the sump.
Again, all listed on john monnins website.

if the engine comes complete with all the accessories, i think you only need the thottlebody and thermostat housing from a 6g72, and add spacers for the downpipe

[Spyder]

well i finished it, and i gotta say im loving life right now. a 74 with a few mods has some balls to it compared to the 72. oh and you gotta love the torque it defiantly puts you back in your seat. on a side note i decided not to do a write up because literally you drop it in add a spacer to the downpipe and go.

So where did you get the engine??

they are on ebay all day long.... most will say they are out of a montero but in realitly are out of a debonair, they just are getting the two confused. i promise if you get one you will have a shit grin for the first 6 months you drive it lol

[n2nsanity]

i think he meant which seller

mine was from japaneseimportengine
i was very pleased, got to my house in 2 days via private carrier
it came with everything, even the tranny still attached, lol
