price lowered to $3000.

Please email ( sixspeedbass@gmail.com ) if interested. More pics avail upon request. No joyrides. Clean title in hand. Located in Tampa, FL.

In the end of 2009, I swapped in a JDM 4G63T from a Galant VR4 RS (Rally-spec homologation car), which I got from JHOT in Augusta, GA. The engine came from Mitsubishi with a big 16G turbo, 510cc injectors, a big FMIC, a close-ratio 5spd AWD tranny, and makes 240hp at the crank, in stock form. The engine has less than 40K on it, and doesn't leak or smoke at all. The car runs and drives great. Handles awesome. It's very light and very fast.

When I did the swap, I replaced the following: (all a year old and around 1,000mi on them)
Front and rear main seals
timing cover gasket
water pump
timing belt
timing belt pulleys
balance shaft belt
all acc belts
all vacuum lines
AWD tranny converted to FWD (by using a VCU eliminator...which can be removed if you wanted to return the tranny to AWD)
Upgraded to Ford injector clips (make swapping injectors WAY easier...no more annoying metal clip to lose)
New A/C compressor, new dryer, lots of new A/C seals/o-rings


Mods to the car include:
Brand new Miata battery in trunk
ACT 2600 clutch
2G MAF
3" turbo-back exhaust (no cat, one resonator....sounds awesome)
A'PEXi AFC
KYB AGX shocks up front, GR-2s in back
Tenzo R GF-2 springs (for 1G FWD DSM)
Yoshifab front adjustable camber plates
Autometer boost guage
Superpro front sway bar bushings
Prothane lower engine mounts (F and R)
Walbro 255lph fuel pump
20% Tint all around
ROH 15x7 wheels
Dunlop 225/50-15 tires
Galant VR4 RS shifter cables
Infiniti G20 front bumper
Sony MP3 CD head unit
Mitsubishi Expo front hubs with brand new wheel bearings
Galant VR4 2-piston front calipers with new pads and rotors
Adjustable FPR
EVO 1 Recaro front seats
Front and rear strut tower bars
Oil cooler
I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff.

What the car needs:
-Paint (it's flat black, which could use to be redone)
-There is a little bit of damage near the rear driver's side wheel, it needs to be worked over before paint)
-A tune (drives awesome and pulls hard, but it would be much better with a solid tune). Currently using the Galant VR4 RS ECU. I'm only running 10psi (oem wastegate setting). The turbo can easily run over 20psi with a good tune and proper fuel setup.
-Pass side mirror needs to be replaced (I will include one, not installed)
-Rear tires should be replaced soon

Scott,

Looks like a good amount of blood, sweat, and tears went into this project. Best Luck on sale.
If you have a moment to speak on the current suspension set up and method of G20 bumper mounting, it would be appreciated.

Kanpai!,

I have a 10mm bolt/nut at each outer corner (just like the OEM bumper cover). I think I had to drill a new hole in the fender for that (hard to remember, did it 4 years ago!).

I literally have two Harbor Freight spring clamps securing the upper lip of the bumper cover to the sheet metal. I believe I put them underneath the headlights (you can see in the pic that the bumper is most flush under the headlights). Hasn't budged in 4 years! Doesn't rattle or anything.

I used a zip tie to tie it to the meta cross member you bolt below the headlights. It goes around its bracket. Stealth.

What year is the g20 bumper from? Did you have to mod it at all or just "make" some brackets? Thanks. It looks awesome.

The bumper was from the first gen G20s, can remember the exact years. Only had to trim the bumper around the intercooler, and popped out the foglight cups for IC piping clearance and to get airflow to the oil cooler.

What are the side skirts from? Is it an original side skirt or something fitted? Thanks.

Yup, original turbo sideskirts. Please don't ask what I did with the original bumper/lip ](*,)

Still have the original seats though! And I'll throw them in with the car.
