Can a 4G63 Evo be converted to RWD?
No RWD gearbox fits the later model 4G63 (Evo IV-IX), you’d have to fabricate an adapter or a complete bellhousing to make it work. It’s a lot easier to convert the early model 4G (Galant VR4, Evo I-III) to longitudinal position. There are a few options: 1. Use a FWD/AWD 4G63 engine, buy a suitable gearbox, and fabricate and adapter for it.
What kind of engine is a 4G63 Evo 8?
This 4G63 Evo 8 is also a long rod engine, and therefore features 156mm Vader aluminum rods from FFWD. Diamond made a custom set of pistons to go along with a Total Seal ring pack with an AP-grade top steel ring with horizontal gas ports. The engine uses stainless steel o-rings and Cometic MLS head gaskets that are .053˝ thick compressed.
What’s the RPM limit on a 4G63 engine?
The PR 2.0LR features a long rod design to relieve some of the side loading of the piston and was developed to push the limits of the 4G63 block further with less risk of splitting a cylinder wall. RPM limits have been pushed to over 10,000 rpm with this engine, available with steel or aluminium rods.
Is the 4G63 crate motor a new thing?
Our race proven crate motors are not a new thing. We have over 20 years of experience in building championship winning legendary 4G63 motors. With wins in many championships such as the NHRA our crate motors have proved themselves over and over again in action.
What’s the difference between the Evo 3 and 4G63?
The EVO III-generation of the 4G63 cylinder head had about a 20-percent advantage in intake flow over the 4B11, in factory form. On the exhaust side, the 4B11 flowed close to the 4G63 at valve lifts above .300”. All measurements were taken at 50 inHg.
How many horsepower does a 4G63 engine have?
Over the years, hundreds of examples of stock block 4G63 engines have generated over 600 horsepower to the wheels, while fully-built examples have exceeded 1,200 horsepower. Barely entering its second year on the market, stock block 4B11T engines have already recorded 550-600 wheel horsepower dyno figures.
Which is better a 4G63 or a factory head?
Comparing the CNC-ported heads from Cosworth, the intake flow advantage for the 4G63 is closer to 10 percent. On the exhaust side, flow rates are nearly identical. A Cosworth CNC-ported 4G63 head flow about 10-percent better on the intake and nearly 20-percent better on the exhaust than the factory heads.
What makes the 4B11T better than the 4G63?
A Cosworth CNC-ported 4B11 head picks up over 15-percent more flow on the intake and nearly 20-percent on the exhaust. Up top, the cylinder head has also been improved with the Mitsubishi Innovative Valve-timing Electronic Control system (MIVEC) used on both the intake and exhaust camshafts (in the EVO IX, MIVEC was only used on intake cam).
