fuel Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Double post FTW! Pretty sure it was only the Starion GSR-V and the FWD E15A Eterna/Galant VR Hard Top which had the Sirius DASH 3x2 engine. I had a Sigma GSR-X back in the day with a Sirius DASH engine, was from an Eterna VR. Power was approx 200hp which was impressive for the time it came out (1985). It redlined at 7000rpm despite still being a SOHC engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 Crap they were meant to be diferent links Meh I always thought they were only in the GSR V Starions and Eternas but that's probably because you told me that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ke36 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 when i get and engine im basically going to buy a sigma strip the whole thing and go for gold dont have a place to store a car at the moment so once ive got an engine i may hire a storage place to strip the car no point wasting money on the storage place now plus engine is the big ticklet item so wanna get it outta the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macabre Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 what do you need a whole sigma for? all i needed from a sigma was the gearbox. i only got the diff out of a sigma cos it was disc brakes otherwise i woulda used stock ex item.

Ke36 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 was guna use xmember, struts, gbox, gbox xmember and possibly diff im certainley not wasting my time with the 1200 ex diff need bigger front brakes anyways and it all seems to fit will probably go hilux if i can get one close enough width, maybe alittle wider and just run fwd offset rims on the rear no one wants to strip a sigma it seems and the only 1600cc crossmember iv found the people wanted $250 for rather buy a whole sigma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogre Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 can use the sigma antiroll bar too, and you will need the sigma gearbox crossmember if you only had a 4sp in the EX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt need gearbos x member either, but that may be cos i got custom engine mounts. Personally i wouldnt buy a sigma, id just buy a 40$ gearbox cos thats pretty much the only thing you need and mock up some mounts and get an engineer to weld them. sigma drum brake diff would be only slightly stronger than a ex one, theres plenty of peeps using ex ones that havent broken. arent you just gonna build it to sell anyway? why waste extra cash when it would have no gain to you?

Ke36 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 guys running vr4 motors are you running standard fuel lines? anyone no what width the standard lines are? what are you guys using as your booster pumps? looking in the engine bay my lancer appears to have a return fuel line which is handy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ke36 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 and have you guys changed from vr4 oil filter mounts to starion oil filter mounts? just wondering if the vr4 clears the crossmember fine?and no other problems with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macabre Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 and have you guys changed from vr4 oil filter mounts to starion oil filter mounts?just wondering if the vr4 clears the crossmember fine?and no other problems with it? i had no probs, with the gearbox if they are the right bolt pattern then it prob wont matter either way what you get. im still using the standard center console and its fine.

Ogre Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 1600 crossmember has even mounts.with the 1200 one of the mounts is set ferther back, ie, not straight with each other.Can use a 1200 cross member unless you made a custom mont for the offset side.

zep Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 contains pics for the starion internals into a l200/sigma gearbox case http://www.dentsport.com/gallery/v/dsg/tech/starion/ In regards to "wideblock" vs "narrowblock" As a rule of thumb: Turbo + North/South orientation = wideblock, 330mm between bottom bellhousing dowel pins All others (including East/West orientation Turbo) = narrowblock, 310mm There are exceptions to the rule though, some 4G52s and 4G54s are wideblock depending if auto or not, and some later model 4G64 van engines are wideblock also.
