The km132 trans 5 speed trans from the g63b will work. The auto was a wideblock but a tf902. The auto motor would have to be rebuilt with dohc internals. Same as the 2.4.

If your 2.0 has 5 speed manual trans then it wil bolt up to a 4g63. Any questions you have I'll try to help out but I haven't started my swap yet, almost got all the parts to now though but know almost everything needed to put it in.

Mines is swapped, but bugs still there. Work in progress. I can drive it around but funds was almost depleted doing so. Total with buying truck and donner car came to 2000. But added with 2 other cars, regular bills and habits almost had to stop halfway but deals came through. Id say start a build thread and update with questions. I'd be more then happy to help with my experience. I would move the engine forward 2 to 3 inches, 1g waterneck from a 1.8 na eclipse, and use the truck waterpump. If you don't need the heater, I'd unscrew the fitting and install a cap. I didn't move the firewall back enough and the rubber plug rubbed on the firewall making a large coolant leak. Truck waterpump eliminates an extra water pipe from the rear to the front. Bypassing the coolant passages to the turbo is doable but I wouldn't recommend it. Jay racing has a front exit thermostat housing, so firewall would only have to be adjusted for cas if you don't move the motor. I kept the truck motor harness in the bay because the alternator harness, oil pressure switch to cluster, and engine temp sensor to gauge is there. I only extended my coolant temp sensor to gauge cluster with spade connectors and I would have shortened the oxygen sensor wires only for my swap.

ATM I'm going to do a boost leak test to find vac leaks. The last thing to my knowledge. Need to find an lsd rear or save up for a r154 trans swap with a toyota rear with disc brakes.

Also saving up for dsmlink, and replace few couplers that fail above wastegate pressure. Driving normal on the freeway with 9 lbs boost, then turned on my boost controller and popped off a hose. Fixing the truck on the side of the road isn't fun in the long run, even if its an easy fix.
