Questions relating to tech?

I couldnt find a spot for this so i thought id make one...
(not really a frequently asked question)

Question 1:
(After i get my gear box, or before)

I heard some where that the 4g63 turbo (pretty sure thats the model) from a vr4 (dont now what year) would fit in a tp magna... if this is true, what sort of manipulating under the bonet would have to be done?
i have a mate of mine that will help me do it (for free!!) but i have to get the engine first...
or should i be taking to a place like precision automotive? and can they be trusted... ive heard some stories...lol

Question 2:
if the previous question doesnt work out... can an SR20DETT fit in it...? and how hard/expensive would it be?

if you can help it would be much appreciated...

the SR20DETT would be to costly to fit. As its a Nissan engine none of your current parts would be able to be used, so youd have to replace everything. if you want to go down that road the VR4 would prolly be the best bet...

On the MOGWA forums theres a dude selling complete Kits for the astron 2 engine. that would prolly be a better way to go, and if your mate can do it it would prolly end up the cheapest of the two options, and if he cant ive heard good things about Precision Automotive,

If it were me id prolly Turbo the the Original Astron 2, you will get a good gain in Power, and parts will still be easy to find. VR4 parts are next to impossible to find, a freind of mine has one, he gets his parts from WA.

Hope that helped out a little

these kits from mogwa... they drive in drive out sort of deal? never really considered sticking with my astronII... maybe i'll enquire about it... mind you my engine needs a fair bit of reconditioning before i turbo it... i can see things protruding from the block if i increase pressure...lol

where in the mogwa site do i go to find this sort of thing?

go to the RPW threads about Mitsu Mods... ask them about turbo kits there... i found the info in the car park thread.
