some of the parts im using in the new engine









where im at now

Interesting choice, going from the V6 to a 4cyl...

Not my cup of tea, but looks really good man.

[ShiZnitH]

Lovin it :D The Evo engine is not a bad choice! :D

[Goku]

True, except you're not really gaining anything using the Evo 1-3 engine right off the bat, as it runs about 250hp at the fly and the 6A12TT runs 240hp at the fly and roughly the same amount of torque.

So performance wise you're not gaining anything to begin with.... though this one seems to be rather modified, so it will be interesting to see what it can do :)

Also, where in chch are you 7gVR4 ?
I'm in the good ol garden city too.

cheers guys, yeah it is a bit different, thats one of the reasons i did this the others are as far as im aware it hasnt been done in nz with a vr4 and all the parts are of the shelf for the 4g63 unlike the 6a12 where they are abit harder to come by and sometimes have to be custom made and when i started it seemed like a good idea haha

im out near rolleston bro

[vr6]

4g63t would be better if you want to have more numbers.

nice parts you are putting into the 63t.

keep us posted!

[T-double]

wow, good luck and keep us posted

Yea man, I think you're right, I haven't seen a 7G with a 4G63t here yet. Though I prefer the V6 route due to it being more unique.... but a bitch to get parts for lol

[phizzalot]

Very cool project... I'am sure those cams are going to have a crazy idle... What hp/tq numbers are you hoping for?

[7gvr4]

im hoping with the turbo and fuel pump iv got now to get around 500hp and when i change the turbo, fuel pump and fuel lines to get over 600hp atw

[4g63lover]

sweet build! Those cams are going to not want to idle.. lol

edit: figure of speech BTW. Those are awesome cams. lol

[7gvr4]

heres the current progress, turns out all four mounts needed to be modified to fit, with a new bracket made up for the grearbox mount, a new hole drilled in the cambelt side mount so the engine could be moved over about 20mm and the rear and crossmember mounts moved over the same amout, also had the exhaust and dump pipe finished up as well as the wastegate moved so the powersteering pump could fit, all the intercooler piping made and the b.o.v. mounted and the catch can and oil cooler mounted









the car is currently in getting fitted with a linkg4 and tuned, fingers crossed should be running by the end of next week

Dohcstunr has a turbo 63 in his 7g I believe

[7gvr4]

yeah i think he does not sure if his one is awd though

[kolio]

Dohcstunr has a turbo 63 in his 7g I believe

he was talking about people in NZ.

in the USA we have eclipsh with 4G63 and AWD


nice progress!

[remarque]

I think you might need a bigger intercooler lol.

[7gvr4]

haha it was a bit much on the original set up, hopefully wont be to bad on this one but i'll see what it's like when its going and if it's abit to laggy then i'll consider either a bigger turbo or a smaller intercooler

[7gvr4]

well not the best christmas eve for me this year, had the new engine going and on the dyno, the guys were about halfway through the tune and she was runnning pretty sweet untill the alternator belt came off and got tangled in the cam belt which caused it to jump about four spaces and stop very fuckin fast when pistons met valves

did a leak down test on it and at this stage atleast 2 but maybe more valves are bent but untill the head comes off next week wont know the complete extent of the damage

[fuel]

how does the alternator belt make contact with the cam belt? did you not have the cam belt covers on?
