macabre Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 looks tight, very tidy! do u get much heat on the bonnet and brake resiovors at all? any reason you put the water pump so far over? that turbo looks pretty big must go like fuck, my setup is very similar good to know i havent fucked anything up too much cos i been guessing my way really.

Blueex Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Thanks man. It goes ok i guess. I put the thermostat housing there as there is very little room elsewhere. Am in the process of re desigining it with a evo 5 inlet manifold which will give me heaps more room to put it elsewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueex Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Theres a small amount of heat around mastercylinder and bonnet but doesnt cause any problems. I guessed on how everything would fit aswell. I had a fairly good idea on what worked and what didint as this is my second 4g63 turbo conversion. (the other 1 became parts). I like your idea of bringing the engine foward which allows more room @ back of engine and your gearlever to be on the correct place. I tapped firewall back very slightly and used L200 box that way i could use all factory mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I'm a fan of this as well.... you've got Jap market Lancer tail light's in there huh? Time to find a matching front end and you're sorted. The engine bay looks great, looks like a lot of care has been taken to get that looking, as well as performing right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Awesome. Looks grumpy. Mean to have another 4g63 turbs conversion on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwlee Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Great work. I know a couple of guys thinking of doing the same conversion on their GTOs. Any chance of more photos showing the pain in the butt stuff at the back of the head? Also, is the paint standard mitsubishi, if so do you know the colour name and code? Does anyone know of any cam angle sensor for the 4g63 that is located at the front of the head? I have read that a version of the RVR has one at the front, but I have not been able to confirm this. Can anyone confirm this and if so what year and model. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueex Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Its factory blue paint. Dont know code or what its called. The turbo rvr has no cam angle sensor @ back of head. The 1 i worked on was a 1995 rvr. Yep jap turbo tail lights. Swaped a guy some standard ones for them. (score). If some one could point me in the right direction for a front kit that would be great. Pain in the butt stuff @ back of head is exactly that. Heat wrap is great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Awesome car Only thing I;d change is the wheels, but that engine looks hot, must go like fuck. What was wiring it up like?

Toucan Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Tell me they are white tarmac evos... That would look awesome against the blue paint What size? Car looked a tad high with the old mags on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macabre Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 are you running an electeic fan on your lancer? cant quite see if theres one there or not. if not does it ever get very hot or is it sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueex Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Yep. Using a RS legacy fan as they are reasonably thin and fit in the gap well. It heats up if it goes round in circles for too long otherwise its really good. Im using a 1800gsr radiator as they are bigger than a standard 1.

macabre Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 so u think i need one or ill be sweet? i just got my standy radiator made into 3 core. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueex Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Yep a fan is definately needed. I have mine set to 86 degrees which is controlled thru the ecu and i find that it comes on, on hot days while idling around town etc and when its on turbo timer.
