Eterna ZR4 and VR4 powered MGB

[turbovr4]

Hi my names Trent,I own a 1989 Eterna ZR4 galant which is basically a VR4 hatchback. Its basically standard just with slightly bigger intercooler,big 16g turbo and 3inch exhaust including dump,also the jap spec cyclone manifold.

The other car i own is a 1962 MGB that i put a VR4 jap spec motor in with sigma jap 5speed box.all blue plated about 10years ago.fun car to drive and reliable too.but now finally doing a big restoration work on the mg.i will still keep the vr4 motor in it.

pictures

heres the pictures of the eterna and the mg,both are original paint jobs so they are both a bit rough,the eterna is a daily driver ,hence the towbar.I used to have a vr4 motor in a 1988 magnaa elite that i converted to manual but i hated front wheel drive turbo doing hill starts in the wet.so that motor went into the mg then i got the eterna.ps my kids in the mg werent going on the road like that,

that mg is cool as.

how does it go?

 

[turbovr4]

The mg isn't real quick due to the clearance problems of the engine bay,for example i could only fit a 2inch turbo intake,and that is 1metre long to get cold air,the exhaust dump is 2.5 inch ,which only clears th firewall by 10 mm,so motor is standard,the car weighs 1000kg cause the metal in the old car is thicker that newer ones,at willowbank its run several 13.8 secs at 100mph with a bit if wheelspin at 14psi.but im happy cause its a fast mg that cost me not much for the conversion.plus the spoke wheels don't like it lol.
