Re: sidedraft manifold to suit sigma

Hang on sorry i didn't read the car you wanted it for. This would be more for the galants and lancers.

This would be what you were actually looking for. I don't know if he still has it at all.

Re: Ok, has ANYONE done a GL/GE SE auto to manual???

Also according to the workshop manuals the 2.6L GK and GN sigma's had a 3.42:1 and the 1.6L and the 2L had a 3.7:1 diff ratio. I thinki that the GH and GJ had a difference between the Manual and Auto diff's but i'm not sure what they had in them. The GE sigma's had a 3.42 for the auto transmissions ...

Re: Question About Std Size Cam..

Yeah the 2.0L engine info i put there should be fine for you as the 4g52 2.0L Astron engines are mostly the same apart from the balance shaft and non-balance shaft versions. And yes the one in the manual i have does have a compression ratio of 9.5:1 so it should hopefully be the same as yours.

Re: GK GSR DIFF RATIO??

The answer to this is a definite NO. There is only one factory LSD which will bolt into a sigma and that is from a Sapporo and they were never released here and are kinda hard to find even in NZ. If you want a LSD the easiest and cheapest (note: not cheap) option would be a cut down diff from a diff...

Re: 74 LA Lancer bolt in engine/radiator options

4g32's are a direct bolt in, 4g63's are not, as the cas hits the fire wall and the gearbox hit the drag link. Astron, I take it you're talking about the 4G63 twin cam motor. I think the 4G63 single cam maybe a bit easier to fit. My dad fitted one to his old GB Galant and also to a LB Lancer (this w...

What engine are you planning on using them on. I know jamie with his twincam 4g63 coupe up here has a 4age manifold and throttle bodies with just a basic 10 or 20mm adapter plate. The holes line up pretty well for that configuration to clear each manifold face.

You should be able to use any sigma engine as i'm pretty sure they are all compatible. The only problem you would have is putting an older engine into a newer car. Or you should be able to get a FWD 4g63 from an early 90's SOHC galant and swap the parts from your engine to make it RWD. Just double c...

I think putting in the Sigma struts gives a bit of negative camber due to the slightly different kingpin inclination. Unfortunately the Galants don't really have a lower control arm but more of a wishbone. An old trick used on similar setups in other cars is putting a spacer where it bolts up to the...
