fuel Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Are you sure it's a 1.8L carby turbo motor? No such thing. the 1.8L Cordia Turbo motor is the 4G62 1795cc SOHC 8 valve with ECI injection. There is a 1.6L carby turbo which was used in the early model Cordia turbo, it's a 4G32 SOHC 1597cc 8 valve with suck through carby turbo system. Anyway.. the Cordia 1.8L block has spaces on the engine for the RWD mounts to bolt up to - threads tapped n all. The 4G62 block is pretty much the same as the 4G63 which the RWD Starion uses (apart from smaller bore of course). You'll need manifolds off a Starion, and other bits and bobs like the water pipe which runs behind the exhaust manifold, and the water pump. Engine should bolt up fine using a RWD Sigma gearbox.

DatzLO Posted November 9, 2005 Author Share Posted November 9, 2005 arnt sigma boxs the same as ex lancer boxs? as my mate just bolted up a sigma engine to a lancer box. thatl b good if it all bolts up ect i just wana know if i needa change flywheels and clutchs ect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Why the deuce would you do this anyway? Better off with the 63 turbo by far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 What carb was the 1.6 turbo cordia running, just out of interest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 zep - aisan twin barrel downdraft single carb. The whole setup was just stupid. Being suck through it was prone to early turbo failure. It was just a horrible and unreliable system - not much power over the standard motor anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DatzLO Posted November 9, 2005 Author Share Posted November 9, 2005 Why the deuce would you do this anyway?Better off with the 63 turbo by far id b beta off with a 20b single turbo to but i dont have one of them lying around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, one of these in a mirage at a wreckers in Htizzy I think, fucking ghetto styling so hard, weird to see a carby I recognise with a turbo on it. Had a giggle at the crass interior, red inserts in seats etc, terrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxtoy Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 that GTO that was in NZPC a couple of months back had a fwd sigma motor with fwd manifolds in it, stupid piping for the turbo though, i'd definitly make the effort to find a rwd exhaust manifold. all the starion stuff will bolt straight up so pretty easy to find too. not too sure whether your lancer gearbox would bolt up, i don't think it would last too long though. sigma box would be a better (and cheap) option, still cable clutch so easy to set up. cheers Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 That GTO was terrible IMO, I'd have the engine for Celeste though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltspeed Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 if i had a digi i would show you mine i used RWD exhaust and intake manifolds, the turbo sure does look good sitting nice and proud in the engine bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Awesome, pics on Apparently, VR4-EVO3 turbos=the win on the SOHC turbos, as they aren't backwards like EVO4 onward engines. There's also a starion i/c on trademe at the mo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defective Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 That GTO was terrible IMO, agreed. well, maybe not terrible, but the wheels dont suit the period at all. and its waaay too high. and didnt it have a 'dash' engine in it? im not sure if the normal starion manifolds just bolt straight up aye...

drftnmaz Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 a friend of mine had a fwd sigma with a dash eng and a tdo5h on it, went pretty hard till it blew, i seem to remember when he ryed to put a non-dash block in it wouldn't fit the g/box and under closer inspection the oil gallies on the head were slightly off??? it was a long time ago so i can't be sure.
