I have a G62B 1.8 that i need to know the differences between it and a starion G63B. Only thing i noticed was the bore and stroke. Might be imported, and yes its a wideblock.

sounds like a lancer turbo block to me if it's wide block, if so it's basically a rwd cordia motor and anything that applies to that will apply to this block.
How fast do those doorhandles go mate!

you mean the sigma shape jap lancer? any idea if you could use a 2.4 crank and bore the block up to 85mm or more?
The reason i ask is id put it in a datto that you can only fit up to 1.8 turbo/sc in, and have a 2.3 or 2.4 dohc in a datto 1200

No you cant bore the 4g62 out to 2.0 litre. The maximum normal
oversize is 1.5mm. You could fit a 2.4 crank but then you would need
custom pistons.
