Lost pics on old thread so redoing another!
Here are some pics, they can tell a thousand words..many more to come!


The car!

The motor! vr4 4g63 and the bits Ive modified V down here V

Did not like modified look of cast and billet alloy, soooo i painted manifold plenum in wrinkle paint then heat proof cast iron color!....^^^^

modified fuel rail, tapped thread one end, made adapter other end, because there was not enough material to thread!!!....^^^^^^

my water pipe....... thermostat housing deleted...run a remote thermostat housing in hose or..something???..CAS delete plug..^^^^^vvvv

air bleed niple will go to top of radiator....^^^^^^^


L300 sohc pump modified to clear cam belt...ce lancer pulley?..(had good offset), yep i know its 1 groove wider,im going to run front grooves only ...^^^^^^^



sigma cross member with adapters to galant chassis rail mounts, which a remade and moved back a bit..^^^^^

accelerator cable mount working well! fuel rail in place....^^^^^^^

alternator relocation, left to right....^^^^^


modified left hand sigma engine mounts





wolf 3d ??? hope to run crank sensor on front pulley to run this computer..

Dude, purely awesome. Normally i HATE pink cars. But thats not too bad. Definitely stands out!

Still running stock fuel tank ?

What are you using for a lift pump, and where have you mounted it ?

Yeah still running standard tank, got a little rotor style pump ( like a mini bosch 066) straight of tank outlet ( one tight fit ), pumping fuel up into surge tank.

looks sweet in the first pic. looks darker and sooo clean. looks like your putting some decent parts in from the begining. good work

Any chance of a pic of where it's mounted ?

I'm figuring where to mount a similar pump (actually a low pressure Pierburg) in my car ...... but in theory they are supposed to be mounted "wet" (ie. below fuel level, I assume because they don't self-prime?) but finding somewhere it will fit but is reasonably protected underneath a rally car is a challenge !

used a long bolt through fueltank mount (from inside boot), to give me a stud to mount to...bent up a bracket to suit, cardboard one first and fixed with nut at one end and rubberized clamp at other fuel pump end!

front of car <<<<<<<< outlet u turns at fittings,then goes up through floor into surge tank in boot!

front of car vvvvvvv

Awesome.

Epic build

I thought of this today: As for the CAS, is it possible to get a distributor based unit (like that in a Magna?).
(I know some of the Galant/Lancer owners retro fit later electronic internals into the distributors).

The biggest problem is getting a location on the twincam to actually put a dizzy. The only 3 real options are a trigger wheel on the front front of the engine, make room for the CAS at the back of the engine bay with a hammer (easy to do in the sigma, starion and a bit more difficult to do in the GC-GD galants) and finally the best but most difficult to find option is to try and find a front mounted RVR CAS.

Thanks for that .... helps a lot. Pump is almost the same as what I am using.

hey mate great work, car looks awesome and looks as though it'll be great fun to drive too.. pink doesn't seem so bad now whats the actual name of that color?

M.B

color is P.P.P.... Petes perfect pink....lol! its a custom mix...

dude this car makes me jizz everytime, if you ever want to sell it let me know

dummie fit up of turbo and standard manifold... on an upside down adapter

the adaptor...easy!

makes all this a bit tight for exhaust....but doable!

Update...easy fixed... swapped galant clutch cable for a sigma one and turned the cable around..adjustment is at bellhousing end now

HOPE TO GET THIS GOING BEFORE XMAS!
THERE I HAVE NOW SET MY CHALLENGE! LOL!

MY CUSTOM SURGE TANK

i love it man,its tuff.

Quote "makes all this a bit tight for exhaust....but doable! "
Streuth - getting it past the clutch cable is one thing but how are you going to route it past the steering?
I dont doubt you'll find a way to do it but it wont be easy
I watched a former member making a 4 into 2 into 1 collector for a 2.6 in a GB. He ran an exhaust shop and spent months making it fit
Top Project - love the updates
T.

exhaust is just another hurdle to get over, in this project!! like the 100 already jumped..LOL!!... i will make a short dump pipe up, hopefully ill find a talented exhaust bender to join it all up!

the manifold adapter 4g63, to turn standard manifold "upside down"

the "flip" adapter......


in her new garage, ready for more work.....and my scooter!

turbo manifold - flipped and mounted up... turbo - clocked and mounted aswell..... wastegate - custom bracket and adjustable rod..

looking closer to finished!!

Holy shit Pete!!! Its fucking beautiful!!!!!

Not feeling the pink, reminds me of kebab-spec Autosalon shitboxes, but everything else gets a big

LMAO!! yeah i know after having it this colour for nearly 7 years...its not everyones cup of tea!! but myself wanting a different colour than the norm...it works well! lol!

solid oil feed line...

You're obviously someone who 1: loves a challenge and 2: doesn't drop the ball when the game gets tough! My hat off to you, that is some seriously solid work.

This is so cool
I look forward to seeing how you thread the dump pipe past the clutch-cable / steering box / draglink
I have no doubt you'll find a way ......
