Sweet. I might be able to get it done this weekend. Hopefully going to knock out the springs and fix my exhaust up at Hanscom, might as well add that to the list. Thanks Paul

 

can i get some clifnotes? what timestamp shows the engine?

Timz, that is a sick sick sick color scheme on Chads Evo

 

paul it has a 2.3L 4G63 swap I believe

 

kenny 1:59

 

i dont see how that could be a 4g63... unless its an evo 1-3 style 4g63 (where it was turned 180 deg)... if you rotate the engine in your head the intake and exhaust are on the wrong side... (the side closest to the front of the car is where the timing belt goes and if its a 4g like in the ix the exhaust should be on the right not left)

plus the valve cover looks too tall to me... it looks more like a 4b11 valve cover

 

look where the exhaust manifold is, in the IX, it's toward the front of the engine, where the turbo is, if you rotate it, it's the same in the said X, same with the intake mani

 

have you opened your hood lately?

rotate left, and it equals the same locations in the X

is the turbo not in the front of your car?

 

no because the tranny and timing belt are on the wrong sides... why would you put the tranny in the front of the car?

and look at the difference in the valve cover

 

I see what your saying, I was speaking primarily about the turbo and manifold orientations, maybe cause it's a rwd, it got adapters plates and a modified tranny, either way, I still think it's a 4g63

"In between about a million cigarettes, Koyama-san managed to tell me that he was converting the car from the original all wheel-drive platform to FR (front engine, rear wheel drive) by actually remounting the engine to longitudinal, or "North-South" configuration! Since Kumakubo prefers the Hollinger six-speed sequential transmission for D1 competition use, Koyama-san made sure to custom mount it to the new Lancer, along with a limited slip differential from a Nissan Skyline GT-R."

 

can someone dvr this for me? i'll be on a plane, or in CO.

 

All rotor pros have the protective zinc coating. A Rep said not a single one leaves the factory uncoated. It's just that it wears off after a while, because its so thin.

I knew that, but i still cheaped out and went with unpainted hubs, which don't look the greatest, after a while.

 

so was i...

that article is either wrong, or they actually did put in a 4g63 after that youtube vid was done. the car in the vid def has a 4b11 in it...
