Was able to a little more work today. It is getting there. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_6497_zpsnape7blg.jpg Put it into the car to double check that everything, including the new accelerator cable, will fit. The coolant lines to the ISC will need to be shortened, and l...

I added a new accelerator cable mount. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_6472_zpsunpb1pi1.jpg The mount bolt holes kept stripping, so I stuck in some studs and glued them in. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_6473_zpsz5k1h26u.jpeg http://i620.photobu...

Look at what just arrived in the mail


Perfect timing since I'll be moving the Lancer back under cover and doing some body and paint work fairly soon.

The first pic is of part of the pinion shaft that goes through the middle of the diff centre. It snapped in 2 places while 84GKSIG had to slam on the brakes to avoid some idiot. The second pic is the crown wheel and bolts that came off what looked like a rebuilt/serviced diff centre. It looks like w...

My Lancer has GH Scorp front struts, and even with a heavier G52B in the front, it still sits a little higher than stock. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Lancer/IMG_2050.jpg Before the engine's weight was put in, it sat even higher. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/L...

After looking through this thread in awe of all the time and fabrication work you are putting in..I am soooo glad I was happy to go with bolt on twin 40mm carbs. :thumpsup: Yeah, takes a lot of time, but I enjoy making stuff. Rough cut a new piece of aluminium plate. http://i620.photobucket.com/alb...

I widened up the elbow. While taking it off the plenum, I broke it. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_6348_zpsb8f291f7.jpg Cut the old thin flange off so I can put on a thicker one. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_6352_zps2c6f5c24.jpg Also pulled o...

Added a right angle brass fitting so it won't hit the bonnet. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_6341_zps53822e7d.jpg Widened the opening to the plenum to allow more air flow. Need to be tidied up a bit. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_6346_zps47071...

Made up a quick spacer. I am not 100% happy with it, but will do for now. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_6333_zpsd16e7e64.jpg Started to widen the intake. You can see how much wider the new throttle body is. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_6334_...

A rough shaping. It bet a little so bolted it back up to make sure it straightened up properly. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_6327_zps2628ae2f.jpg Final grinding, and looking better now. Needs a spacer for one of the mount points, but it works as it should. http://i620.p...

Comparison between 2 types of ISC motor. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_6284_zpsb9ac21b2.jpg http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_6286_zpsd73fa9ef.jpg Started modding the ISC to mount it somewhere other than the bottom of the throttle body. http://i6...

The throttle body I am messing with at the moment is from a Magna TE-TW V6 without traction control or cruise control. Some pics, TE-TW on the left, TR/TS on the right. There are some differences between the TBs. Left is 65mm and right is 60mm. (Also removed the mount for the TPS.) http://i620.photo...

I could get the plenum welded to mount the throttle body to the other side, but I wanted to try it a different way.

The new throttle body somewhat fits. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_6241_zpsd55dc889.jpg http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_6243_zpsd5dce84c.jpg Cleaned it up a bit more. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_6246_zpsc63afa13.j...

Sneak peak on what I am messing with at the moment.

I should add, at the moment, I am not using the AC since it isn't gassed. Hence why it was around 50C+ inside the car when I was driving it around on such a hot day.

I am a bit of a lead foot, and was driving around when it was 40C+ outside. No overheating problems at all. If you use a Magna temp sensor and a Sigma temp gauge, it reads a little hotter than it really is. I can't find the measurements I worked out, but I think the first tick after C on the temp ga...

Nup, the later 4 banger Magnas were 4G64s. If you took the whole engine etc., it might be possible to put it in a Sigma.

This is the way I have wired up my Sigma. Apart from breaking the loom when I first put it in the car, it has been running for over 30,000kms now. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/sigmadiagram.png For fuel pump, I get the power from the Control Relay. That will switch on and of...

The casting on the Lynx manifold doesn't look that great. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Lancer/IMG_6183_zps44cef546.jpg http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Lancer/IMG_6184_zps95c7a28a.jpg A bit of sanding, and it looks better. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/...

View of the blower and heater assembly.

Finally got a look at the AC that someone installed into the Lancer. Since the blower fan is behind the centre console, it looks like they have converted a blow through AC unit to suck through. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Lancer/IMG_6181_zps3823d0da.jpg http://i620.photobucket.c...

Made a new bracket for the coolant pipe. This time I used 3mm aluminium. The new bracket is on the left, the old broken one is on the right. In the middle is a plastic spacer used for the fuel rail I machined down on my mini lathe. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_6085_zps2...

She has been running ok lately, but have been tweaking bits to try and get her running 100%. The quick bracket I made to hold the coolant pipe ended up breaking. No wonder I have heard tapping.

Awesome build so far. What is funny about some of the ideas you took from my thread is that you have the same mini lathe as I have.

And since I am an Admin, I have to ask for you to keep the language family friendly.

BTW... This is now my Lancer :D Wake up! Wake up! You're dreamin' ,girl! Done some more clean up of the combustion chambers. #1 is almost done. http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt288/Cottees/Sigma/IMG_6027_zpsbe76cf50.jpg The only problem is the casting is pretty bad. http://i620.photobucket.com/...

Actually this was the first and last time I have paid someone to do a repair on the wagon. And that was only because the thing was in the shop to get a wheel alignment . Not only have they left the usual greasy hand prints on nearly every surface..but managed to open the door onto something and tak...

From the looks of it, the Starion and Sigma share the same tie rod ends. I would be surprised if the Scorpions didn't have the same ones.
