Sounds like a bloody good idea, how much did that set you back?

What car did you source a radiator from? I'm doing much the same conversion, and I dont think my stock lancer radiator will be up to it. Would like to know where to look, cheers .

Shitty old TC-06

I'd say thats a TC-05, looks a bit small to be a TC-06?

What you really want is the TD-05H rear end, and the TC-06 front cover and wheel. Hmmmmm, tasty.

hey mate this aint no spelling anr grammer test so shut up. i muck up a few words yes but you can obvisually interperate it cause you understand what im writing dumbass and no i didnt take pay much attention at school but ill be making more money than you will fag

God, that had me giggling for a good couple of minutes... Obvisually, hahahaha. Awesome.

Or i can drop em somewhere in the Christchurch/Rangiora area if thats easier? I've really got no idea how i would send them anywhere not in Christchurch tho :/.

Fuck man, ive got enough wheels. If you can arrage someone to pick them up, they're yours... Im not keen to send them anywhere tho sorry.

mad stz.

Wicked phat steelies yo. Just normal steel wheels, yup, i'd sell em. How much? Postage will bone ya.

Check under the front windscreen for rust also, they have a habit of going there. Looks very tidy though, they'll run forever aslong as you throw some oil, a filter, and some water treatment at them every now and again .

A friend of mine bought a re-po'ed FD RX7 for 4 grand....... how sweet a project is that!

Your friend works at repco?

Widebody Starion over here, twincam 4g64 with some nice tyres and shocks.

Maybe a cut down truck core? I would have thought the ratio of rows to fins would be off tho... same reason you wouldn't use an aircon rad as an intercooler.

Interesting idea tho....

Its a ford one, i cant find my verniers right now, but my scholastic ruler measurments put it at 72mm I.D, approx 3inch O.D (easy for piping). My concern with this TB is how will i control the cold start idle? There seems to be no provision for it....

The rims are factory r31 turbo rims apparently. DJ took them apart and painted them up, they look absolutley stunning now, and fit oh so well .

Ive got a couple of starion pumps knocking around, should do the trick.

Thanks heaps isnowi, those pictures are gold .

Yes, but obviously you arn't going to have back seats or a parcel tray in your lancer to save weight, and yes I am planning on doing a lot of hard cornering, this is what these cars are all about!

I do plan on using mine every day, and i do like carting mates around, for some weird reason, heh. I'll be keeping the back seats, and having a mild sound system aswell. I hope to make it a super nice daily driver .

just an aluminium skin in the boot area, even though it is a sealed system you still get fumes, and even under mild cornering (before i put a surge tank in) i had surge problems, due to the nature of the lancers tank.

I'll have some photo's up tonight.

Excellent, aluminium sheet i can get pretty easily, just pop-rivet something into place.

What if alot of the cornering involves looking out the side window? .

Anyone know the legalities of a surge tank setup in the boot? Last i heard it was fine aslong as it was sealed from the main cabin, i.e: not in a hatchback.

I dont think fumes would be a problem, as its a sealed system?

Its a little dark out now, but i'll get some piccys for you tommorrow and post em up.

cheers

Thanks man, would be highly appreciated.

If you want any more info on my setup i can take some photos for ya..

Holy crap yes, photos would be very much appreciated. I was thinking very very similarly for my setup, just a small carby electric pump for a lift pump, I have a starion pump for the main feed.

How would i connect the starion pump to the feed line? Arent they solid all the way into the gas-tank? Gah, i wish the car was here so i could go take a quick squiz....

With the lift pump to surge tank setup, what lines do you use under the car for supply and return? just cut the originals, seal them on the tank side, and run rubber pipes to them from the surge tank?

Ahhh, awesome to see some old mitsies getting built up .

lol, didnt take ya long to start messing round with cars dude, hows chch going?

and a 4g63 would be killa in an ex, will be interesting to see progress.

Chch is all good, Nelson was nice, loved the weather, but its good to be home . The EX is coming together awesomely so far, sorted sump and motor mounts this evening... clutch, ecu, exhaust manifold and turbo to go, heh! Sorted a disc brake rear end, and vented fronts for it also, so certification shouldnt be a problem.

A friend of mine and i are transplanting a g63b from a 1985 Turbo Eterna into a 1980 GSL 5sp Lancer. I was expecting to have to dickey around with starion blocks or gearbox adaptor plates to get a RWD setup with the narrowblock g63b from the eterna...

Imagine my surprise when the 5sp from the Lancer matched up directly to the g63b from the eterna... Means (for now) we can keep the existing cable clutch setup and whatnot, made things a whole lot easier to see it running! I've read of a few other people doing this swap, as these cars seem to be gaining populatity, thought this info might help someone else out

Unless we have some freak Eterna with a random wideblock engine... Can anyone supply the measurments from right to left, top and bottom bolt holes for a narrow and wide block g63b?

Theoretically, the engine out of a VR4 should have the same gearbox bolt spacing shouldn't it? Hmmmmmm, wonder how long this gearbox would last then.... heh.

I was looking at a starion to buy a while back, and the fellow selling it had a hunter in his yard aswell. It was sitting on widened steelies, and had a 2.6 astron motor in it... Never saw it running, but was interesting none-the-less.

I run a video store next to a mag warehoue here in chch, and they didnt seem to know a hell of alot when i was asking about superlites fitting an ex lancer... Had to make calls all over the show. In the end i just measured the show set on the wall myself, hah.

Starions are the real shit.

He speaketh the truth.
