    its just not worth the hassel... (cash & time wise)

    dont forget it has to be cert'd to,

    you'll need (at least)

    • motor,
    • gearbox/transfer case/diff, (more problems if you use a AYC diff, and complete arse to find a non-ayc diff.)
      thats if youir 4wd,
    • if not i think you will find you will kill you standard box very quick especially if its auto.
    • complete loom, cant use the existing one, (engine and cabin)
    • hish vis dash (if you get the loom from a high vis'd dash vr4)
    • ecu,
    • brakes, calipers and disks (the GDI ones are smaller) and bia's valve will be have to changed to the vr4 one,
    • suspension (the GDI has softer suspension)
    • strut brace, possibly sway bars


    alot of time and effort for no real gain...
    just buy one, and mod it

    OR..

    put a 4g63T in it.... it will be different. and it has been done in Japan/USA


    dont ask how to do the swap because no one heres done a gdi-vr4 swap,
    because its point less,


    sell the silly GDI and buy a VR4, you can get them for as little as $3-4k if you take your time looking around, if you in a hurry 6k+

    if you need finance, alot more from a stealler
