The total weight of your four Quest D16's are 102g. An average G motor probably weighs about 150g. A full reloadable G will be considerably more. However, if you don't feel comfortable with it, sim it in OpenRocket (free) or ask a member with RockSim to do it. They can figure in the motor mount differences too.

Do you know how much an Estes D motor weighs? I had also thought about using a 2x 24mm mount and using two D12-3 which would be basically the impulse of an E.
