4g63 reliability

Quoting 4Grim:
Any of the "saturn" motors mitsu produced which most were coded with the "4G"


Incorrect buddy, you got your info mixed up. The 4g61/62/63/64, etc motors are in the "Sirius" family, 4g33, 4g32, 4g37,etc are "Saturn" engines. The "4" represents it being a four cylinder and "G" for gasoline fuel.



^^ What he said.

I actually wrote out just about that very same reply and posted as soon as I saw his post, but didn't check that someone else could have covered what I said already haha.

So there's no need for a Performance timing belt like Gates,Greedy,HKS will the OEM hold up fine to the abuse ii throw at it?

I would say that aftermarket belts such as HKS are purely for bling factor. You had mentioned your build will be budget oriented, so I doubt something like that would appeal to you. I would go OE.
You may want to try looking at something used as for as shortblocks go. Here is a good start- And I'm sure you could find a few other 4G63-Based Forums on the net (with a classifieds sect).
That being said, I'm positive you could also find a lot of members making tons-o-power from the stock bottom end.

Later!
