Re: Engine from one Sigma into another?

Yea all the other stuff is easy enough, both engines will be outside of the car at the same time so swapping everything over won't be an issue - AS LONG AS IT ALL BOLTS ON. That's what I'm wanting confirmation on. And no firewall fluffing about or extending this extending that (things like radiator ...

Engine from one Sigma into another?

Hi guys, Have found a FWD 4g63 SOHC turbo GSR Sigma, just wondering if anyone knows if these are narrow or wide block and if they fit into the '84 RWD Sigma's? Asking as I've got a RWD Sigma with a 4g63 SOHC Carby (non-turbo) and can pick up this other Sigma cheap if the engine would fit to my KW132...

EX Lancer Shocks and Springs into Sigma?

Anyone know if EX Lancer shocks and springs will fit an '84 RWD Sigma GV/GK 4g63 2L SOHC Carby? See my display pic for exact car. I know the lancer springs fit up front as that's what I've got in now but what about shocks? Also, rear shocks and springs? Reason is that I'm looking for shortened shock...

Re: 4g63 Cam and Gilmer Belt Drive Q's

A mate of a mate, Auckland Cams I think they were called - guy was a legend. Cheap as chips and yea definitely notice a power gain in the top end. Still sluggish down low but I'd probably say it does even have a little more lower down too. Adjustable lifters no hydros in these babys! Yea found a pla...

Thought I'd give it a bump. Still loving my lumpy cams but really wanting a Gilmer belt in there somewhere now to give it that high-pitch whine. Will mask the annoying rattle noise of the ball-bearing in the rocker cover breather with the lumpy cams smashing it around at about idle :) Anyone got any...

Re: Indicator question

You'll need to find the same rating flasher relay as they can sometimes be sensitive to the load on the circuit. Some may light up but not flash, others might not even close circuit and flash at all... Ah I see, will the rating be on the one inside my car? Do they simply unplug or are they not able...

Re: Indicator question

Ok thanks.

So will a new (or one from a more modern car) flasher definitely make the indicators tick with a little more effort?
Or is it just a guess?

Re: Indicator question

You should be able to buy a flasher can from your local auto parts store for about $5 I would think. As far as I remember the only difference between them is if they are 3 or 4 pin. Go to a local wreckers and grab a few from different cars with the correct amount of pins to suit your car and try th...

in a word, yes. Kinda makes sense when you think about it. Same engine, just turbo. Ah so they are the same engine, ok I wasn't too sure if they were or not. Much like the 4g93 and 4g93t? Used to have an NZ new lancer wagon with a 4g92 (same as 4g93 butt 1600) and ended up putting a 4g93t in it, a ...
