Rebuild the 4G64 with a 4G63 head, GT35R, E85 and nos.

That is all!

Even if you drop the 1.8 in it you'll have to change the ECU to make it run properly, so I don't think there is an easy way to do it.

There's a number of issues that prevent you from installing the 4G93. The wiring and the ECU are for a different series of engine, plus the way the power steering pump, aircon and accessories bolt up to the block, plus exhaust and intake system. The 4G64 Nimbus engine runs a distributor ignition setup too.

If you want to keep the car you're either going to need to rebuild the engine or buy another UF Nimbus.

Yep its a hard one. I have a sohc head g64 head here if that helps. I can leak test the valves and thats about it.

Its complete. I think.

I have a satria 1.5 gli, we put a 4g93p with Gti loom and gsr ecu the one without airbag to get rib of the warning light, the instrument panel changed to Gti because the old one the tacho didn't work with the loom , then we put in a bolt on turbo tdo4 with 3 inches exhaust and evo1 rad plus a 30cms Intercooler with fan, the project turn out ok, but the 4g93p doesn't has the water coolant at the oil filter seat also the oil spray at the bottom I don't think it will last long the turbo oil rerun pipe drill into sump work fine but look funny, I already have two 4g93t ready to replace it, I found the the first gear is almost useless with SOHC lancer gear box, the only fun are in 2nd gear onward, my dyno only has 118kw at the wheel with 2mm decomp gasket but not bad for a 920kg, I am running on bc coilover 7kg and 5kg which is too rough just bought 6kg 4kg spring to replace
Any advice to improve it?.

That's what I did. I spent about $900 myself rebuilding the Nimbus engine at home. Here it is nearly 5 years later and 60,000kms and its still going well
