[kurbn]

[Lonewolf]

the best sleeper potential ever

[VR42LT]

holy shit.. I can see this thread going places.

Staying tuned!

Lets hope the car is going places soon.

[syther]

do i asume it will be single turbo due to only one turbo in the pics. or will it be like the legnums and jap galants and be twins

[VR42LT]

do i asume it will be single turbo due to only one turbo in the pics. or will it be like the legnums and jap galants and be twins

Hey mate the legnums are a v6 hence the twin turbo set up the earlier galants like mine are a 4 cylinder so one big turbo should do it.:)

[syther]

wow didnt even notice 4cyl till i looked at the pics again . just asumed all the vr4's were 6cyl's

will be good to see this fire up

[VT SS]

what engine mods ?

[Missile]

Wow...

Is that a hypertune intake manifold aswell?

And what crank is that? Looks like a nice piece of work! Stroker?

[TJ]

Yeah, bombed.

[TJ]

Black VR4 on some Advan RS's would be epic

[KPCresta]

Very nice looking build mate!

Is it a 2.4 or 2.6 stroker lol?

[VR42LT]

what engine mods ?

Billet crank, knife edged
billet end caps
ROSS pistons
PAR rods
ARP head and mains
1mm oversize valves
Ported head
crower cams
the rest is the normal bits n pieces


Very nice looking build mate!

Is it a 2.4 or 2.6 stroker lol?

Hey thanks mate, its a 2.4 block that has been de-stroked.

[VR42LT]

Yeah its a hypertune manifold.

[MAZDABATOR]

Hey thanks mate, its a 2.4 block that has been de-stroked.

your doing exactly the same as me.... de - stroke more revs.

im building a 4g52 with vr4 head putting it into a l300 bro... im after some pistons were abouts did u get yours from? and just a question do u know the standard bore size? mines 84mm but im having huge trouble finding some forged pistons..

[Lonewolf]

[MAZDABATOR]

Thanks mate, i think the standard bore size for a 4g63 is 86mm not 100% sure but i got my pistons from the states

oh wicked ill see if they have some :) cheers man

[to4garret]

its 100% stock orificer.

[MAZDABATOR]

its 100% stock orificer.

haha "TO4", yup but some people didnt know how to put a motor together and now bits of piston are not were there ment to be and its not good.

glad i got it cheaper than said price

[VR42LT]

Getting there slowly

nice parts, whats the goal with the build?

[VR42LT]

nice parts, whats the goal with the build?

Thanks, The goal has always been to run a ten in street trim. I might add a half cage, im sure yet.

[Lasoya]

10's in street trim :eek3:, must have balls of steel and heaps of guts to even attempt it

[VR42LT]

[Mr Bender]

Hypertune manifold they are worth the money!

[datsqik]

What size turbo is that, looks like one of those billet things that were getting around a while back. Does it come with a warranty?

[VR42LT]

What size turbo is that, looks like one of those billet things that were getting around a while back. Does it come with a warranty?

Yeah its a 'Billet turbo' from MR TURBO in QLD for the price of these things they should and do come with a warranty. GAS Motorsports in Sydney are a main dealer so is my mechanic over there, ROTAMOTIVE RACING.

[VR42LT]

Hey Guys some more progress pics.

[Baggus]

info on rotary motor in background pics?

[VR42LT]

info on rotary motor in background pics?

Mate want do you want to know? My 2 mates own the shop and one does piston motors and the other one does rotas, other than that i really cant tell you much on the hand grenade. :) The shop is in Sydney

To TJ and Drift_Marti cheers for the comments.

[SLEEKA]

Awesome, it's off it's chops!!

What are you plans drivetrain/brakes/suspension wise?

[VR42LT]

Awesome, it's off it's chops!!

What are you plans drivetrain/brakes/suspension wise?

Thanks, suspension is just going to be coilovers with new poly bushes through out, the brakes i was looking into a mitsu 3000gt brake and 5 stud conversion as for the box im going standard for now its a evo 0 one with the 4 bolt rear (just till i run it in then ill see how much it can handle before it explodes). But at the end of the day it will get a ppg gearset and an lsd, maybe billet axels dont know yet its all very expensive.

[VR42LT]

More pics nothing special, cant wait to do the bolt ons but.

[VR42LT]

Just got back from over east after trying to get the motor back in the car only to have the rear main seal and other hiccups arise but here are some other progress pics of the car, enjoy.

http://i609.photobucket.com/albums/tt177/VR42LT/Photo283.jpg


This is the rear main seal it was machined out to fit as you can see it came through the casting abit but didnt effect the bolt holes so it went on without a worry. The seal itself isnt a 7 bolt seal but has the same ID as the 7 bolt crank with a smaller OD (about 2mm).

Man can't wait till this is done, love the progress man!

[VR42LT]

Hi everyone got the cam cover back today here is what it looks like. Polished lettering on black.
http://i609.photobucket.com/albums/tt177/VR42LT/Image0148.jpg

It should look good when i ceramic coat the manifold.

[Mr Bender]

cant seen in the picture but did you get extra breathers on top of the cam cover?

[Rantopotamus]

Looks Mint man!

[VR42LT]

cant seen in the picture but did you get extra breathers on top of the cam cover?


Here is another pic of the cam cover with the dash 8 fittings i also removed the baffle plate from inside the cover to let breath a bit better.
http://i609.photobucket.com/albums/tt177/VR42LT/Image0149.jpg

I also got this brand new lower timing belt cover from Japan
http://i609.photobucket.com/albums/tt177/VR42LT/Image0150.jpg

[Scaf]

Awesome mate.

[PERFORMANCE07]

Nice!!!
Interesting to see the outcome.

[Mr Bender]

good work Wade

the timing belt cover looks good! (bet it wasnt cheap!)

[Crispymk2]

Nice build, motor should be fuckn stout!

[Jumanji]

Nice build mate will be a great streeter by the looks wicked setup!

[VR42LT]

Thanks guys, not much left to do on it just the intercooler, radiator,piping,exhaust and ecu. Cant wait to actually drive the ol girl again.

[VR42LT]

Changes already and its not even running yet.......

Iv changed the pumps and surge tank locations, i just didnt like it when i seen it in person.
http://i609.photobucket.com/albums/tt177/VR42LT/FuelpumpsII.jpg
The duel 044 fuel pump bracket is from Race Solutions in Penrith NSW. The surge tank is being replaced so the weld on fittings match up to the pumps fittings, So that the pumps will screw straight onto the surge tank.
http://i609.photobucket.com/albums/tt177/VR42LT/Fuelpumps.jpg

Thanks

[Mr Bender]

looks good Wade.
are you going to cover it in so you cant see it ?

[VR42LT]

What for??????

[Mr Bender]

So you dont get to much fuel smell, make it legal and to protect it from stuff flying around in the boot?

[VR42LT]

Chances are they will lift the bonnet before the boot so there isnt much point and also i wont be putting groceries in the boot Glen

[VR42LT]

Well its not even going yet and already im changing things, this is my new surge tank.
http://i609.photobucket.com/albums/tt177/VR42LT/Image0166.jpg

The boys didnt like the fact that i went to another shop for the pumps bracket and i told them im not paying for the machining lol
http://i609.photobucket.com/albums/tt177/VR42LT/Image0158.jpg

New genuine oil cap and the freshly chromed rocker cover bolts.
http://i609.photobucket.com/albums/tt177/VR42LT/Image0157.jpg

I also swapped the fuel rails over this is the new one.

Sweet build mate love the attention to detail inthe engine bay

[Lump]

so bombed, whats the turbo specs?

[VR42LT]

so bombed, whats the turbo specs?

Cheers fellas

turbo has got a 68mm front wheel in an .72 front cover and the exhaust is an 1.0

[Mr Bender]

Going to leave the cooler shiny?

Good work by the way.

[Lump]

needs more chrome :P

[OLLIE]

Are You going to put her on some
Happy gas (no2)

[4A10SHN]

Love the build bud! Cant get over how big the intake ports are on these engines. Painting the engine bay made a big difference too, wish John had done his before he put the engine in!

[VR42LT]

Going to leave the cooler shiny?

Good work by the way.

Thanks mate, probably going to leave the cooler as is because the bar pretty much hides it


Are You going to put her on some
Happy gas (no2)

Yeah mate its going to need it with the turbo its running


Love the build bud! Cant get over how big the intake ports are on these engines. Painting the engine bay made a big difference too, wish John had done his before he put the engine in!

Cheers, youve got to paint the bay when its empty!

[Jumanji]

Mate, looks mint love the progress and the attention to detail.

[180SXTCY]

Josh - Didnt even think of doing it at the time hey haha was never planning to get this mental :P

[OLLIE]

Can't remember if I read it in a earlier post but what are you building it to do ?? Drag circuit or daily drive? Why not invest in a antilag system Like a inlet bypass or retarded ignition to keep the turbo spinning thus no need for te happy gas unless u want more ponies ??

[VR42LT]

Josh - Didnt even think of doing it at the time hey haha was never planning to get this mental :P

Sorry mate youve lost me


Can't remember if I read it in a earlier post but what are you building it to do ?? Drag circuit or daily drive? Why not invest in a antilag system Like a inlet bypass or retarded ignition to keep the turbo spinning thus no need for te happy gas unless u want more ponies ??

Always need more ponies OLLIE! The goal has always been to run some sort of 10 sec pass with rego, i know it will be hard because in street trim these things weigh like 1400kg+. As for antilag i didnt really think of it i just went straight to the nos option although i am going to use a 2 step so i spose thats some sort of antilag.

More progress today enjoy the pics guys

Dump pipe with v band

:)

[Lump]

pics are too small, but looks like your dump design is worse than mine.

whats the o.d of the comp wheel 82mm?

[OLLIE]

The two step is a brilliant idea mate antilag mixed with launch control well done haha I can Imagine driving down the street come alongside a idiot in a dunnydore and beating him of the lights and when he finally catches up when u have backed off all he can hear is blap blap blap as the the antilag kicks in to make the bak fire to keep the snail spinning good luck

[OLLIE]

With keeping it street trim why not lift the carpets and gut the sound retarded crap out of it and then put every thing back in yes it willtake time but several kilos could be lost and even replacing front seats with light weight carbon fixed back race seats?

[VR42LT]

Been a while since ive updated so here you go people

This thing is mental! Reminds me of underbelly, seeing the Galant in the underground carpark with the FMIC hanging out...

Soo good! Props on the build thus far!

[KPCresta]

Engine bay looks sweet!

This thing is mental! Reminds me of underbelly, seeing the Galant in the underground carpark with the FMIC hanging out...

Soo good! Props on the build thus far!

Thanks mate! That vr4 in underbelly was my mates car and i dont think it was an intercooler hanging out because it runs a barrel cooler.

[Mr Bender]

cool
does it start yet?

looks mean!

Thanks mate! That vr4 in underbelly was my mates car and i dont think it was an intercooler hanging out because it runs a barrel cooler.

It was a while ago I saw it! But a cool connection none the less!

Here is a look into the air box with the snorkel out the bottom that will sit behind the fog ight but i was thinking of extending to the fog and the shape of it. Any ideas?

It looks a shit load better with the lid on im glad i didnt go with the original idea of a perspex lid.

Put vents/mesh on the front side of the box (behind headlight) to increase airflow.
Looks tops!

[VR42LT]

Not much of a brake upgrade but I want to keep the sleeper theme going so to keep the standard 15 inch alloys I purchased these.

Upgraded the tail shaft, the standard one is a 3 piece and the upgraded one replaces 2 sections to convert it to a 2 piece tail shaft.

So then off to the 1st dyno session. My mates from rotamotive racing in sydney built and tuned it last October, time was short so he was rushed. Made 250kw @ all four wheels on 15psi reving to 8400rpm.

click on the video
http://i609.photobucket.com/albums/tt177/VR42LT/Mobile%20Uploads/th_20141009_194447_zpsi5zmbrwc.mp4 (http://i609.photobucket.com/albums/tt177/VR42LT/Mobile%20Uploads/20141009_194447_zpsi5zmbrwc.mp4)

Then on the 2nd session a week later it went to rigolis because my mate was not available. Vince said he wont rev a car over 7000rpm on the dyno especially since he didn't build this car.

click on the video.
http://i609.photobucket.com/albums/tt177/VR42LT/Mobile%20Uploads/th_20141013_202332_zpsz89tkrk6.mp4 (http://i609.photobucket.com/albums/tt177/VR42LT/Mobile%20Uploads/20141013_202332_zpsz89tkrk6.mp4)

Car made 288kw @ all fours on 19psi reving it to 7000rpm. Now I figure if he had reved it to the 8400 limiter it should have made a little more power since he had another 1400rpm on boost the squeeze out of it. so im going to say the car has around 300kw.

Then I got it shipped home to WA and proceeded to change a few things that I didn't like, its hard to leave a car on the other side of Australia and have the thing you want done a certain way.

didn't like the birds nest under the dash so made a plate for the ecu and co and tidied up the wiring. No heater,fan or air con now because I wanted to fit this

[Deke]

great build mate , can some one enlighten me on what the nipples on the manifold are used for?

[RGVFAST]

individual exhaust gas temp thermocouples for each cylinder.

[Deke]

whats the advantages of knowing individual runner temp opposed too just running an o2 sensor in the dump or something? is it for real fine tuning?

[Brett_J]

great build mate , can some one enlighten me on what the nipples on the manifold are used for?

Looks like EGT probe points, usually you have one, but this might be to tell what each cylinder is doing and adjust fuel load at injector accordingly?

[Lonewolf]

yeah, to monitor temps so you can compensate for slight differences in airflow - plus handy if you have an injector fail to go into limp mode or such i'd say
