any info on the balljoint spacers u metion further up?

S0LJAH

you could get a reverse mounted pedal setup that should fit under the dash
then just mount the resevoir remotely in the engine bay
resevoir doesnt have to stay under the dash

S0LJAH

good luck

i havent heard of anyone with that new an engine going rwd
there a different kettle of fish to the older 4g63s mostly talked about on here

hopefully someone can pipe up with some info

S0LJAH

im running a d50 trans with a 4.3 rear at the moment and for me its a bit too rev happy

1st is almost non existent

hoping that the w58 i have here is going to sort it out a bit and maybe even need to go to a 4.1 or even a 3.9?

S0LJAH

cheers bill thats guna be really helpfull info for people when selecting what style shifter they need to match there stock setup

unfortunately i fall in the middle of the 18" and 20" shifter position

so guna have to decide 1 inch forward or 1 inch back

S0LJAH

very nice

adjustable cam gear only on the inlet?
havent seen many 4gs with just inlet cams

S0LJAH

cheers bill

so bill with your w5x series adapter
do we have to use the fwd flywheel and starter or can you use the awd flywheel if you also use the awd starter?

cheers

This is measured based off the original bellhosuings correct?
any chance of altering the diagram to reflect bills bellhousings attached?

I purchased the w55 housing, but want to make sure we make the appropriate space and cuts to allow ...

S0LJAH

ok does anyone know the dimensional difference?

is the diameter the only difference?

and what diameter is the fwd one?

we didnt get any fwd trubo cars here in nz only n/a so i want to make sure im gfetting the right flywheel

S0LJAH

are the awd and fwd 4g63 6 bolt flywheels the same?

as im sure alot of you know we need a fwd for bills w5x adapter, but if the 4wd ones are the same then i can get a nice aftermarket lightweight billet jobby

as im aware both run the same clutch setup??

so?dimensions anyone?what are the ...

S0LJAH

mass production of something like this would be difficult due to the slight variations in all of the rwd setups (most use a custom ex manifold) and all so the shells that the setups are being put into are not the same therefore you cannot gurantee clearence etc

S0LJAH

sounds reasonable, maybe a little steep but not hugely

bear in mind driveshafts have to be a one peice unit so the simply cant just tack 3 inches on to the tube shaft

a whole new shaft must be made for it

S0LJAH

i know the jza80 supras have the biggest exstension housing, it is a cantilever style one which ends up having the shifter about 20cm back off the end of the gearbox

heres a pic of all the shifter styles

top row is w50 bottom row w55-58
the respective lengths from gearbox-bellhousing mating ...

my d50 has held up at 300rwhp for a good 6+ months now which has included regular street use and half a dozen trips to the track and a track day all wearing semi slicks and its still going stron
i toasted a HD clutch setup so now have a puk clutch in there

however i am currently sorting out the ...

S0LJAH

i believe some of the earlier W5x gearboxes had alloy plates
they are still the same just alloy sandwhich rather than steel
some people say that makes them alittle less strong others say its negligable

theres a couple of good pages here with info on w series

S0LJAH

so my pump is just "free wheeling" in the water till the thermo opens?
i.e it doesnt build up pressure and the water just sits stagnant in the block

heres what i found else where, which agress with what you say on the other hole allowing coolant to the other sides of cylinder, but says that the ...

S0LJAH

ok so is the 4g63 bypass the second hole behind the waterpump on the block?

this one here

S0LJAH

hey guys

how does the water flow around a stock 4g63 when the thermostat is closed?
does one of the four water pipes coming out of the thermostat housing allow water to bypass it back into the rear of the water pump when the thermostat is closed?but the thermostat opening off blocks this bypass ...

S0LJAH

does the 4-9 block even have rwd mounts on the side?

S0LJAH

cheers guys put it all in 2nite and it works well :D

extentuates my shifting problem tho but im now sure its a selector issue with the gearbox, which allows me to push to far to the left so can miss the gate for 2nd and 1st

nah wont be making any to sell, plus im all the way over the otherside of ...

S0LJAH

i got started today

made up a spacer plate one inch thick and then cut my shifter just above that sqaure peice as i think it is for the gate

i made up an insert also an inch long with spigoted ends and then drilled 1/4 inch holes into the two ends of the stick, this should give it heaps more ...

S0LJAH

ive just been down playing round with my gearstick and working out what im going to do

at the moment the throw is roughly 100mm stock for a 3-4 shift

now looking at things i think im going to go with a spacer which is basically just a copy of this plate here

S0LJAH

ok im going to try and make a short shifter out of my stick by chopping the lower ball off and extending it then packing the top mounting point

anyone got any tips suggestions on lengths etc?

S0LJAH

do starions have a short throw gearstick avaliable?
i think that would w2ork with my gbox as is as the shifters are the same i believe?

cant change the tailhousing tho as then my shifter would be too far back

yea the throw in them is balls

S0LJAH

hey guys

im finally out racing my car and have noticed the d50 trans is a bit of a pig to shift, and im losing time cos of it
any thing out there i can do to help reduce my shifting times

can we make or gear sticks into short shifters etc?

S0LJAH

i also did something similar to what 89 colt is saying
cant remeber exactly waht tho as it was 2 years ago now

think i used the original truck one, though pulled it off then turned it around and re pressed it as i think it is recessed in the front side?
so allows you to press it further on to the ...

S0LJAH

cheers guys yea the bolt i had in there is a 10x1.25

ive put locktite and a copper washer on it
have pulled it out and reinstalled it so ill se how it goes

S0LJAH

hey guys just trying to chase a leak from the rear of my engine eliminating all options.

what thread is the oil feed from the rear of the head on a 4g63 vr4
ive blocked it up as my feed is from the filter housing

ive just got a metric fine bolt in there at the mo but hoping maybe its a slightly ...

S0LJAH

whoa lot of replies :lol:

yea its a cable clutch
i dont think it is the cable thoug as its the smae one the car has had since 1981 and the pressure plate ive put in isnt that heavy (less heavy than previous one)
and its done it since the very first gear change

ive tried messing round with the ...

S0LJAH

hmmm

i managed to get it into 2nd a couple of times the other night
even if i double clutch blip the accelerator or try and match the gears it doesnt make a differeence then a couple of times it randomly went in

when it goes in it goes in perfect no grinding or anything

how hard is it to check ...

S0LJAH

thats my lancer :D

i thought we had all got over this wideblock narrow block confusion
AllanL you have posted incorrect info which ads to the confusion l200s are narrow block gboxes

Your 2l starion motor is wideblock

The vr4 motor is narrow block

so as dj suggested you can either keep your gbox ...

S0LJAH

hey guys the d50 behing my 4g63 is a real pain to select 2nd

it flat out refuses to go down from 3rd to 2nd and sometimes on the upshift, usually if your rough with it or give it a hiding it 1
it doeesnt grind or crunch just feels like its hitting a "rubber" wall
if im stoped i can pop it in ...

yea rwd water pump definately fits on the 1g block with the mods to clear the tensioner
makes routing the water pipes easier

S0LJAH

cable operated clutch is what hes saying

S0LJAH

cheers mate might do oilpan swap when engine comes out, for now remarking the dipstick sounds like the go

S0LJAH

yea oil amount is correct just under 5l and the engine was completely dry no oil in anything or oil cooler/lines, sump quantity is just shy of 4 litres correct?so 5 should be right to fill the cooler and lines

what have all you other guys done?surely sumone else has had this issue too?
sumone said ...

S0LJAH

yea damn southern hemisphere :lol:

i just used the vr4(transverse) oilpan and dipstick, car never had a rwd 4g in it so didnt even think of using one

am i best to change to a rwd oil pan and dipstick?just worried about where that oil is actually sitting in the sump etc

the dipstick problem i can ...

S0LJAH

hey guys just wondering what oil dipstick everyone is running for the twincams?
i filled my engine up with 5l of oil today(as oil cooler/lines etc are empty)
and before i even turned the engine over to prime it etc i checked the level and its only about 1/2 way between the two marks

is this due to ...

S0LJAH

I figure I will toss this out. THe cyclone intake doesnt flow very good. There was a flow test article on a dsm board a long time ago testing flow numbers. Seems like the 6inch tapered runners flowed best. The cyclone flowed worse than the stock one if I remember right. But better for the low end ...

S0LJAH

the multilayer from mitsi is cheap as
$nz100 which would be like 50 us dollars

S0LJAH

yea apparently the mitsis are know for being weak there so a few race guys tell me

im just guna get it helicoiled for now
seems safer than tapping it out to m10
dont wanna run the risk of making the situation worse

S0LJAH

hey guys was tightening up my exhaust manifold and ended up stripping one of the studs off from inside the head, it just popped out with the nut on it lol

wats my best option retap the head a size bigger (its a custom manifold so i can just drill the hole in it bigger to suit the bolt) or drill it ...

S0LJAH

ok ive heard of people having problems where the water in the head is boiling before the thermostat opens as it hasnt conducted the heat well enough

only going by what ive heard

my thermo housing is right up the front under the inlet manifold/throttle body (still using rear exit so pipe runs along ...

S0LJAH

thatsa good idea

holes isnt for the air being trapped is to do with the water not heating up in the line well enough but if the hole will help with air trapped in that it will help the air flow through ill give it a try should kill t2o birds with one stone then

S0LJAH

hey guys am running my water line from the back of my head

its going horizontal round the back of the head then under the inlet manifold then to the factory thermohousing which im mounting off the front of the inlet manifold below the throttle body and then up to the top radiator hose

have heard ...

S0LJAH

hey mate im form nz too so can help you out a bit

where bouts u im in chch

youl have to suss out what style the pajero motor is i have no idea what they use etc

easiest motor etc is the starion one that way you could just use everything starion

ecu gbox etc

S0LJAH

not sure at this stage

the dumppipe and exhaust manifold will both be getting heat wrapped

i may ceramic coat the exhaust turbine hosuing too which should elimintae most problems, but may just leave it as is and see what happens

if not will just make a little sheild

S0LJAH

yep im running a top mount turbo with no cooling aswell

very common to do this even on evos/vr4s/gsr swpapping to bigger turbos in the td05 range
