Yes, although the cost may be prohibitive - the transmissions are on opposite sides for the two engines, so additional parts and labor would be required. Cheaper alternatives for the pursuit of power would be either turbocharging the 420A or simply buying a used GS-T or GSX, although the price of a used GS-T/GSX hovers around the cost of the turbo kit (before labor).

Can you change your 4g63 engine for 420a?
Are you talking about taking a 4g63 out and putting a 420a in? If so, i don't understand, why at all, you'd do that.
Turbo engine to non-turbo body Can you swap a 2nd generation Talon or Eclipse turbo engine into a 2nd generation non-turbo body?
The simple answer is yes. there are two engines in talons, lasers and eclipses. or better known as dsm's. (diamond star motors). there is the 4g63, and the 420a. which both come in turbo and non-turbo models. if you are looking to swap a turbo 4g63 into a non turbo 4g63 shell, the swap is simple. same as if your swapping a turbo 420a into a non turbo 420a shell. now, if your looking to swap a turbo 4g63into a nonturbo 420a or vise versa, you will encounter problems with motor mounts, wiring etc. keep in mind the wiring and ecu's etc will be different on each motor.
Will the transmission of a 4g63 work on a 420a?
no, the transmission for the 4g63 is on the passenger side, the 420a is on the driver's side. you will have 5 speeds in reverse and 1 speed in forward if you try this even with a transmission adaptor.
Is it possible to swap a 4g63 into a 1988 Mitsubishi pickup 2wd?
yes it is
Is it possible to put turbo in an Eclipse GS?
Swap it for the 4g63. Unless you just want a little boost. Do your math if you stick with the gs engine. You could bolt on the charger and then do the swap after you break something.;-) If u really like the 420a u can jus turbo it...or take it apart drop compression etc....and try to break the 661 whp record ...but no u cant swap it the 4g63 wont fit in the same mounting places
Can you use a a turbo exhaust manifold off of a 4g63 on a 420a?
It will bolt on, but to answer your question, no.
What engines can be put into a 1997 Eagle Talon?
4g63 (Turbo) or 420A (non-turbo)
How do you replace a 420a with a 4g63?
VERY HARD AND VERY EXPENSIVE. I do not recommend. You would spend less money buying a talon or eclipse with the 4g63 engine!
What engines can be put into a 1991 Eagle Talon?
4g63 and 420a or make conversions for any that you want to fit.
You want to swap a 4g63 for a 420a in an eclipse what do you have to do?
You have to spend a relatively large sum of money for parts and labor - the engines, computers, accessories, and transmissions must all be swapped. Cheaper alternatives would be to turbocharge the 420A with a kit from Hahn Racecraft (~ $3k before labor) or simply purchase a used GS-T/TSi.
Is the wiring on a 4g63 non turbo the same of a 4g63 t?
Yes, the same harness was used in the non turbo as well as the turbo, Unless you have the 1.8 liter or the 420a engine.
Can you replace a 420a engine with a 4g63?
It can be done. But for a price. The 420A motor (GS and GS motor) have the transmission sitting on the right side. (If your looking at the front of the car) And the 4G63 (GS-T and GSX motor) Have the transmission sitting to the left side. So just a straight motor swap is NOT possible. But I suppose if you got a GS-T motor and transmission then you can remount the motor and transmission mounts, but you would probably have to relocate everything, such as the ecu and battery and whatnot. So to answer the question, technically, it is possible. But illogical. You would be much better off just selling the GS and getting a GS-T, or just put a turbo on the GS.
