    VR-4 Twin Turbo conversion

    After a long search i found a 1993 VR-4, i bought it, drove it home from England and the adventure could start.

    I swapped the engine, the tranny, 4WD and complete brake system...

    Here's some pics... :)

    My "Good old" 6a12 non turbo wich nver failed me!!



    A very empty car... Engine removed.



    Combining two wiring harnesses... 22 hours of work... Pfff ;)



    My empty car with the "new" and the "old"engine infront of it.



    "Old" engine, 6a12 2.0 V6 NT, 150 Bhp.



    My "new" VR-4 engine, a 6a12 2.0 V6 TT 240 Bhp..:)



    Carefull... ;)



    Just a little bit further..



    And she is in... :)



    Nice isn't it... :)



    Hahaha... :)



    I had to cut out and weld back a big piece of the bottom of the car to fit the RWD onto my car.

    The "tunnel" was much wider in the VR-r to fit the exhaust and drive shaft next to eachother, so cut it out and weld it back!! :)

    This is what you would call a "flintstone car" ;)




    The piece that came out, you can see here that the black part is wider than the grey part, that's the difference...



    My brother at work, he's cutting the part out of my own car.



    Ah perfect fit... :)



    I "painted" the inside with some kind of bitume goo, for insulation, and put some plastic over that.



    Putting back the cleaned carpet, it's going to look like a real car again!



    The finished result!



    The back, with the VR-4 batch.. :)



    At night...



    In the twilight zone... ;)

    Very nice man...I commented your Cardomain page!

    Very nice work for the swap...looks like you did everything the right way! This might give some insight for those with 7g's that want to embark on the AWD route. The biggest concern was the driveshaft channel being wide and big enough for the driveshaft and exhaust to share the same space.

    Great job man...she must be a blast to drive!

    that looks fantastic! great work.

    if you get tired of that engine you could even swap to the 6a13TT from what i have heard from other members.

    another .5L of fun

    the ralliart is going to prove well for commuting and so on and it'll be decently quick after being with me long enough. not to mention getting beat up on by the NA beast in the driveway next to it. lol. but yea this thread really makes me want a 7g now.

    E84A VR-4 is 2L not 3L - it's the 6A12 engine not 6G72.

    How much time did it take you? I'm curious...

    Yeah I'm a dumb@ss. I'm always thinking 3kgt vr4 since that's the only one we had here in '93.

    Awesome job!! Looking at you're engine bay it appears to me that all the engine mounts are in the same spots as the 2.4L 4 cyl engine mounts. And the drive shaft issue is a cool idea.

    im the same way with my 8G. and sad thing even when she dies, instead of carrying it on a flatbed, I'll just rebuild/restore her back to new.

    7G must be mean with that set-up. Did you cut the whole floor? How did you keep the unibody from flexing?
