NZ got them in the Jap spec Sapporo. Pretty thin on the ground here.

Yeah, I do but my friend has dibs on them.

You can check out more on that motor here -> http://oldschool.co.nz/2011/forum/index ... lancer-ex/

Custom exhaust manifold, Chinese TD05 thats been rotated and internal wastegate welded shut for external and I believe the inlet is a modified RVR manifold with the throttle body swap.

All my parts arrived over the holidays so I got the ol man to fit the valve stem seals, cam belts, water pump etc.   Got motor back together and back in the hole http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll136/MrKevinator/P1060253_zpsf0340db7.jpg   The new addition to the engine bay is power steering (and ...

We all like squiggly exhaust manifolds.   Whilst the motor was out I set out to make one of those spaghetti manifolds. When I say make, I mean take some pre-made headers and slap a 4G63 flange on.   Here are the headers I scored   http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll136/MrKevinator/2013-11-22122259...

Motor out time   http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll136/MrKevinator/Sigma%20Wagon/2013-12-22165713_zpsf3ec863e.jpg   http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll136/MrKevinator/Sigma%20Wagon/P1060077_zpsa27f2d69.jpg   Im in the middle of putting all the bits from one motor to the other.   http://i287.pho...

Ive stripped the engine of all the bits I dont need. I just need it down to a "Long block" situation.   Spent today pulling it down some more and degreasing.   http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll136/MrKevinator/Sigma%20Wagon/2013-12-15160524_zpsfc57e990.jpg   The rebuild idea is on hold....

Engine number 3



Brought another 4G63. Was going to put this in and see if it runs but I might actually rebuild this one.

One step forward, 5 steps back. Decided to try and get a WOF without a cert and succeeded. Decided to try and fix the smoking issue - Did not succeed. It seems this engine does not want to be cured. Ran into problem after problem. Brought a valve spring compressor tool to do the valve stems but turn...

Hey guys. Thanks for the positive comments. As for the wagon, news is not so positive. (Sorry for the slow update) You know when you see people joke about Mitsis with the "Blue smoke" comments? It aint no joke - and this car proves it. At the moment im spending more on oil than fuel! NO SH...

It wasnt until you mentioned NZ that I realised it was a Japanese 4G63 version of the Sigma wagon.

Ahh the aussie assembled wagons run the borg warner diff don't they?

Those venetian blinds are badass!
Are they readily available over there (in Aussie)

Couple pics from that drag day https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/407090_10151433535807639_1291640977_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/67569_10151433535947639_543671022_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/397791_101514335361726...

Worked hard to get the car running but ran into an issue with my alternator. Bolted a replacement alternator on and took the car for its maiden voyage.....a short maiden voyage. Took the car up to the gas station, grabbed some go juice, drove out of the station and the car started backfiring and gen...

Started the engine swap last weekend. Pulled the SOHCa out of the car. Poor lil engine had done some work. (370,000+ kms) Tidied up the wiring on the DOHC (believe it or not) ready to be slammed in the hole http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll136/MrKevinator/P1050668_zps057ee7e8.jpg Made a shroud o...

http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll136/MrKevinator/Sigma%20Wagon/P1050660_zps5eb8db16.jpg So, the powerhouse SOHC is back in the hole and running. I started on a new exhaust system and have almost completed it but will wait for my muffler to arrive from Chch. I have a few things to sort out for t...

First major issue. http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll136/MrKevinator/Sigma%20Wagon/P1050649_zpsc3412ab1.jpg Nothing Mr Hammer cant fix. Been shopping at Pick a Part the lats few days. Man they've jacked their prices up. Brought a pretty sweet external fuel pump setup with mount. http://i287.photo...

So, continuing on from my last post I fixed the clutch issue. The post before that I mentioned that I had other plans for the wagon. Get ready for the anti climax..... ***TWIN CAM*** I picked up a 4G63 DOHC from Christchurch thanks to DJZ. Came with almost everything to make it run. It was looking p...

So, I noticed my car was getting harder and harder to shift gears the last few weeks. I had maxed the adjustment on the cable, then i made a spacer to get even more travel, till something collapsed and then I had no clutch at all. My poor synchros. Pulled the gearbox off expecting to find a poked pr...

Acquired a 4G63 with twin carbs. http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll136/MrKevinator/Sigma%20Wagon/20121118_160508.jpg http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll136/MrKevinator/Sigma%20Wagon/20121118_155308.jpg I sold my last set of twin carbs as they were incomplete and didnt really have a plan for the...

Bit of a stink update. Finally fixed the oil psi gauge issue with a brand new sender. The gauge use to sky rocket to the max when the engine's not running. http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll136/MrKevinator/Sigma%20Wagon/P1050631.jpg Now with the sender unit fitted the gauge remains at the bottom ...

Legal for another 6 months 8) Managed to get a WOF yet again. Final got a clock for my wagon. With the addition of the Sapporo cluster, ive been without a clock. As little as it seems, it sux without one. A BIG thanks to 'all round GC' Fuel for donating and delivering the parts! Any way, before and ...

So...Ive ditched the idea of trying to run the twin carbs. Fuel talked some sense into me. I managed to score a GSR Sapporo instrument cluster a while back. Thanks to Damian for sourcing it for me. http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll136/MrKevinator/Sigma%20Wagon/IMG_9033.jpg Ive had it in the Sigm...

So I picked up a twin carb setup to suit SOHC 4G63. Big thanks to oldrx. http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll136/MrKevinator/Sigma%20Wagon/IMG_7288.jpg Plans are to re kit these if possible. They have also made me think about doing a rebuild and see if I can build a lightly modded SOHC 4G63. Will w...

Nothing really exciting going on. Motor is starting to get tired and sad. Been on the lookout for a suitable replacement. Something with minimal effort to instal or just rebuild the current donk. Have collected a few parts for the wagon but im probably going to concentrate on the Lancer this Spring/...

Mucked around on the wagon today. Sick of it scraping every time I back out my drive so decided to hack the tail pipe off. http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll136/MrKevinator/Sigma%20Wagon/IMG_4977.jpg Out comes my buddy Angle Grinder http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll136/MrKevinator/Sigma%20Wag...

BIG PHOTO UPDATE Got all me rims back from being widened. Cheers to the Steel Surgeon (Carlos) Zipped down to Drury Tires to get the tyres fitted. Decided to run with: 7" fronts - 175/60/14 8" Rears - 185/55/14 Was hoping to put 165/60 to the fronts but they didnt have any. Any, pics. Bef...

Decided to try and paint these suckers. Went to Supercheap to get a Silver/grey colour. The guy said it would be the colour on the cap but it was like a crappy chrome colour. URGH! Went to Repco and got a can of Dupli color mag wheel re-coating thingee. Exactly what I want! Looks choice IRL! Prep ht...
