early 4G63 differences

...
Its a ****** 88 isnt it :'(

acording to CAPS it was actually built on 2/11/89

interestingly -

450 cc inj
14b turbo
ECU = MD150427 (might be worth checking this)

and heres the really interesting part, it also says

4-bolt, 3.909 rear diff
W5M33-2-WQWK gearbox , which just happens to be a front LSD, close ratio box :shock:

if i were you i would be checking the numbers on the box to verify this, as it would make it quite a rare beast indeed !

 

[BobWrinkle]

yeah i just checked and it has 4 bolt rear axles, and it has a very close gearbox, but why did it not come with a 16g small, and eci multi intake!! :'(, didnt all 89 rs's come with that?

Im sure the build number 2000 and onwards came with all the goodies. Dave ?

i think the 3.909 drivetrain was a factory option for RS's initially before they became standard across the range

Holy moly, now this is a true hybrid car.

It has facelift tail lights, spot lights and indicators, 4-bolt, front LSD (lucky bastard)

but no vented bonnet, longer bumper, ECI multi intake or 16g, 510cc's etc.

Very weird indeed

 

[BobWrinkle]

it may once long ago have had the vented bonnet. This is obviously not the original bonnet. However this bonnet is rooted as well :'( looks like a 3 year old was playing with a white out pen :'(

 

[VR-4-PLAY]

i dont think ur car ever had a vented bonnet as that came out later than 89. they are typically found on the cars with the small 16G, 510cc inj etc

 

[4WDGSR]

1/2 the battles won with 4 bolt and ratio'd box
Whack on a EVO turbo and you're ready to go !!

 

[BobWrinkle]

can i chuck a big 16g straight on?

 

[tharaka]

can i chuck a big 16g straight on?

yep

 

[CLuTZ]

You'll need to port your manifold and get rid of the fire ring setup to take full advantage of a big16g on your stock manifold. You might also want to look at a slightly larger turbo outlet pipe too?

Dre what do u mean by "longer bumper"?

 

[CLuTZ]

Dre what do u mean by "longer bumper"?

Ah i meant longer opening in the bumper, with the extra vent for the longer intercooler (I think thats what i was supposed to say)

This one:

Instead of this one:

 

[AUSVR4]

Thats what I thought you meant. Its funny how one extra vent really changes the look of the car (for me anyway)
