Ahh that will be sweet!

@rich1179 @bigfoot I dont suppose you have had a chance to see if you have any? Here are the brackets in question:

Awesome! Good to know, I read a few stories of alternators only supplying minimal voltage if those other two circuits are not functioning correctly/not connected. Just wanted to be sure before I got too far ahead of myself with this alternator.

Another simpleton question... Not able to find a straight answer to this, I am wanting to make a late model alternator work with my old vehicles wiring (If Possible). The new alternator has the following wiring: The old alternator just used the Lamp and Sense wiring. Where I am getting confused is that most things I have read refer to older alternators where ECU's were not a thing and use slightly different terminology and naming conventions to this alternator, is this alternator really any different to those and contains more smarts than an older alternator? or can this type still be used by only connecting the Lamp and Sense wires - which I have read "should" work.

Yeah I was going to but the engine was there 8+ months ago so a very slim chance they remember what they even looked like let alone still have them sitting there somewhere. At this point im cutting my losses and trying to sort some more.

@rich1179 If you do please let me know, I had another look for them but still cant find them grrr. I suspect engine builders removed them and I never got them back.

@bigfoot Yes Please!

Whoah! those stairs are sweet! The finish isnt a huge concern really.. I know I will be boring out the intake ports and smoothing out the water ports isnt a big deal either, not to fussed about the outer finish. I will also get in contact with the guys mentioned here and ask more questions, not knowing much around the process I have just given the design file and required application and left the rest up to them to quote.

Hey Guys, I know this has been covered to death but haven't found enough information to answer this particular question... I seem to have misplaced the metal part of the engine mounts from my 4g63 as per this image: I have the rubber mounts but the part that bolt to the engine are missing. Are these the same in the old 4g32 engine and I can re-use them? If not, does anyone have these I could buy off you?

Do you have any plans for the water routing? Have you just left the water ports blocked off? How are you running the heater return?

One stop cutting shop have come back with a reasonable price to get it water cut it +/- 1mm accuracy. Will contact press and laser also, see what they come back with.

Bit more of an update, have mocked up a new intake flange with my 3d printer, have it pretty spot on now. Just waiting for some quotes to come back to get this cut out of 12mm aluminium plate.

So your the character behind that sweet avenger I was in the farthest EX in that picture.

Whoa first quote back 5x what @peteretep guestimated, Seems a bit steep. Will wait for One Stop to get back to me

Cheers guys, Have contacted these guys over email with a copy of the drawing, will see what they come back with.

Hey Guys, I need to get a intake flange cut out of 12mm aluminium, does anyone have any recommendations on where to get this done in the Waikato area or Hamilton preferred. I have it already drawn up in DXF format.

Attemped the engine timing today, was a late night a few days ago and nothing was making sense. The timing is VERY close to the cam sheet, I would say the differences (about 5 degrees off) are down to the lash adjustment. Shortened lash adjusters to rocker cover would fit, installed cam seal and a few other loose ends. Few MAJOR set backs today... dont really wanna talk about it I am so embarrased/not happy about it but here it goes. Lesson #1 - Dont try and turn the camshaft with a screw driver because you are trying to save time and think you dont need to bolt up the pulley and turn it from there... You end up breaking the keyway off and taking a chunk out of your brand new cam. Luckily I was in my dads workshop with access to his welding skills and lathe to fix it back up. I am so glad it was him and not my mistake in this instance!! Lesson #2 - Dont do up all bolts "tight"! After refitting the cam and tightening up the cam gear a bolt was turning and turning, it wasnt until we removed and tightened the bolt a further 2 more times we checked the torque sheet and found it didnt need to be very tight at all, may have pulled a few threads but it is tight and not moving.. worry about then in another 300,000k's when the head comes off again. Machined the later model VR4? cam gear and made up a aluminium flange to suit, this was to accept the new wider 24mm belt and tensioner but still keep the correct offsets. Here is the progress for the day, next step is to get an intake flange cut and start work on mounting these carbs!

Block is more or less complete. Managed to find a wider tensioner and belt which will work with the later model crank pulley, got oil pump pulley to suit finally. Ground and polished the sharp edges off the pistons and combustion chamber where the blank off plugs went in. Have tested the valve to piston clearance and it sits around 1.5.. Which is good. On tonight's agent a is to time it all up and fit the belt for real.

Registered...

Machined the new pulley, put head on block along with all pulleys and tensioner - looks like it will work a dream if I can source a belt an extra 3mm wider as all the pulleys now line up after I modify the crank pulley from a later model. Pics for thread, none of head etc as it was getting very late by then.

Can you tell me if it is a square or round toothed pulley? If Round, Do you also have the crank pulley spare?

I haven't forgotten your previous comments but I have not been able to find one of these vehicles on TradeMe or the sellers are not willing to measure or even remove the part for a picture, local wreckers have been no help, and I have no pick a part or zebra outfit near me hence trying to gather as much info from the Internet as I can so hopefully I can turn up a part number that I can search for and order online until I am able to visit one of these places and scope out parts that will work for me. The latest pulley I purchased was listed as a SOHC pulley which is why I ordered it, hence another post when it didnt fit, I only found one reference to a difference in the SOHC vs DOHC pulleys with listed part numbers after I had ordered that part, neither mitsubishi dealers, mitsubishi asa software or various other avenues I have gone down have been able to provide a part number for what I am after. The reason for this thread was to gather information about the different types of pulleys, what will work, what will not, hopefully gather part numbers that I could order quickly off the net and cross reference against other vehicle models so I didnt have to wait to visit pick a part etc. I am sorry if you feel like you have been ignored, also sorry to have clearly wasted everyones time in this thread.

Have received the oil pump pulley which is the correct part for a 6-bolt, oil pump is correct for a 6-bolt... surprise surprise this pulley does not fit either... I'm stumped here.. If anyone can offer advice i'm all ears... I did find another part number... MD122692 Found this here: http://projectzerog.com/sohc-dohc.shtml This does actually look a little narrower... Just need to confirm shaft size, can anyone get more detail on this part number?

I know it was a long time ago but do you remember what camber plates you used? There are a couple on trademe but cannot confirm there will be enough clearance to make them work with the stock struts...
