While we are at it....are 4G32 and 4G32B head gaskets different? im thinking yes but wanted someone to confirm.


Matt

I had big orange light lying around.....got a red one for oil pressure, sick of breaking motors from lack of pressure.

Matt

Because when the engine builder chose those pistons back in the day (90's) they were designed to run with the 2L Jap spec heads because of thicker castings and less likely to blow head gaskets. I wanted to use a better head flow wise thus chose the M9 head for increased compression. It also allows m...

Hey guys just a quick question. I have my 1.6L, im putting a Jap 5 speed on it (not sure what its from originally), do I need to change the flywheel at all? Thought was if its a 2L box would I need a 2L flywheel? But then again the Lancers did come out with 5 speeds in 1.6L...... Any help appreciate...

So what pistons do you use to get a 4G32 out 2.6mm? What size does that make it?
Very interested


Matt

So head is now on motor. Went fairly standard and didnt end up doing any work to it apart from a service. Running an M9 head with forged flat top pistons. Needed the M9 head as the pistons sit 1.2mm down the bore so reduced combustion chamber size was needed to up compression to 9.7:1 Install will b...

Do I need said resistor if it is running to a 12v LED trailer light which should have resistors in it?



Matt

If they are the same as the 4G32 chain drive then the one on the back of the motor is 40mm and the others are 35mm.
Welsh plugs should be stamped with their size on them.


Matt

I was after a set a while ago and everyone I talked to said they weren't available anymore.
I got given a set from a mates shed that had sat there for ages....if you do find them I would be interested too.


Matt

if you get any hoses so long as they are stamped ADR it should be legal.
I did this option in my galant and am doing it in my lancer, i put extra insulation in the middle of them and then cable tied them to the strut to prevent rubbing.


Matt

Hi guys, I am wanting to put in a coolant temp warning light if the car gets too hot. I am trying to find a water temp sensor that will trigger a light at 110 degrees, like a switch not a progressive one like what is in the cars temp gauge normally. Any ideas where I could get one or what I could us...

dont suppose there are colour samples anywhere to line these up with?


Matt

Exhaust side at the front of the engine, its on a tab that protrudes from just under the head.


Cheers Matt

Ok...going for a slight deviation for my LC now, black for rear half of car (and with surge tank and all) may be a little too toasty new paint job hard to describe so will show pics when its done...but basically white with a bit of red. Now I need to come up with a scheme for my GC galant, any opini...

It has been done before with an NA engine, here is the build read http://www.sigma-galant.com/viewtopic.php?t=485 but this was done by a person so lots of money saved by taking their time and doing it themselves. These motors dont like to fit with the firewall, you need a specific head (from which I...

Thanks guys.
Im getting a little work done to the head porting wise so that later when I get a bigger cam and go aftermarket injection the basis of the head is already done.


Cheers Matt

Hey guys I have my 2.6L being built at the moment however I am unsure what to do with the head. I was originally thinking to just use a early standard magna head (which is currently on the car) and not spend too much money on it until I had a bit of experience driving, however my engine builder reco...

Our LC Hatch has GJ front brakes and R31 rear calipers. Both these cars use a 7/8" master cylinder. You need to get a 7/8" cylinder Matt (H) BTW: The engineer who I am getting to do the RTA report tested the brakes and they passed the functionality test - but I have to increase the reserv...

So Superscann what your saying is that you should be increasing the booster size in proportion to the increase of brakes. ie if I increase my brakes by 30% (just say) then I should be increasing my booster by 30%? Where would you draw the line at not needing to increase the booster for size of brake...

I have a set of GH green struts and GH sigma struts. As far as I was aware Green struts were from a Scorpion. Sigma and Scorpion run different calipers. Reason people like Green Struts is because you can remove the mounting bracket and make up your own one to suit different calipers (normally afterm...

Pistons didnt come out of the block, just split inside from what i was told.

@Cheater - Motor wasnt short of oil.....all happened at the track so im just steering clear of track from now. Forest rallying is more fun anyways



Cheers Matt

sorry but where is quokka?
Rego?


Matt

Had a friend who owned a Galant back in the 70's, the story goes he blew 2 pistons and it kept running for 2 weeks until he saved enough money to buy a new motor (again a 1.6) Mine has been thrashed by me for close to 5 years with only servicing needing. Its down on compression in all cylinders and ...

or cheaper ones that are exactly the same

Interested where you got that new bonnet from mate.

If people were interested here are the lenses to go with these frames.

LC lancer diff is straight bolt in that is stronger by a bit (thicker axles). If you want it to handle stupid power get a custom one or shortened Hilux (bit of work involved in conversion). Or Scorpion diff (but again modification of mounts) and it is also a bit wider....not a problem if you have fl...

Why re-shell it (unless it's a whole lot uglier than it looks in the pics ...)? If you are going to khanacross it, you will bend it at some stage. Even doing motorkhanas it won't stay shiny for long. Seriously, spend your money on entry fees rather than cosmetic stuff ... do as many events as you p...

Do you mean what weight they actually are or what weight the compliance plate says?
I have found this to be slightly different sometimes (my galant was heavier than compliance plate said by 65kg)


Cheers Matt

I do have a starter motor that is apparently geared down and a 'high torque' for hi-comp engines. Couldnt tell u what its off caus got it when i got the car, but it lookes exactly the same as the one from my Galant (and it fits too). I did think it was from a magna though??? Sorry not much help.
