HX-40 + 4G63T.... what transmission is that?

 

Ohhhh man. What about the SRT4 engine though... Just sayin'

 

You're my hero.

 

He351ve with a wastegate actuator controlling the variable vanes. A couple of people have done this on the 4G63 and it has made 4-7 pounds of boost at 3krpm and 24+psi at 3500rpm-8k. The transmission in the pic is a powerglide but I am going to run a TH350.

 

I assume this setup will run completely independently of the electronics in the car, are you planning to keep certain things functional??

 

Everything electronic in the car has been removed except lights, AC, radio, power windows. I am installing an aftermarket alarm and pwr locks. The key i am still using for the ignition and door. And of course there is the factory Mitsu ecu and wideband that will be installed. I haven't decided what tuning software I want to use yet.

 

Buschur racing adapter plate?

 

Cool!

Looking forward to progress!

 

Actually no, Bill Hincher makes several bell housings and an adapter plate like Buschur's for the 4gXX motors. Check it out,

I'll say it now because there's no reason why this won't work.. Congrats . What are your plans for this car as far as its use (street/ strip car)?

 

Okay so the car isn't represented well, but the idea is accurate

 

Wow...thats really cool! Make me regret selling my GSX last fall....I could have pulled out my fully built motor out of it and scooped up a base Crossfire and had a fun Copycat project... Good luck!

 

I had a 92 TSI AWD with a small 16g and a few other mods before I bought the Crossfire. I had an extra 6 bolt motor for it too until my brother-in-law saw it. I found another one locally for $500 w/50k miles missing turbo and exhaust manifold. I'll pick it up this weekend.

 

 

Very cool So you lost some drivetrain weight, planning on putting the rest of the chassis on a diet? I'm a year or so into a 2l build of my own(destroked 2.2 turbo Mopar with a TC Maserati head). I'm not expecting much torque but I'm only asking it to move about a 2100lb FWD chassis. Subscribed

Did you ever actually finish the motor swap and put the 2nd motor back in the talon? Or did you part that out?

Chuck can't wait to see the process turn out.

 

I'd like to drive it on the street for one or two more years. I may just put a big 16G on it for now and put the Holset on it when I switch to a built bottom end.

 

From what I have read the complete 3.2 weighs about 380#'s compared to the 4g @255#'s. There may be a weight savings in the trans too. The TH350 weighs in about 125. So engine and trans weigh about as much as the 3.2.
I don't think there is much else that I can remove besides some of the wiring harness. I don't want to give up sound dampening.
