hey guys,
some of you know me some of you dont, i have had some peoples ask me to do a write up on my 4g63t conversion on my cyborg sedan so here i am.
ok what i am doing and why:
probably 3 to 4 years ago now my gsr hatch was getting a bit crazy for street use and not so practical anymore, and along came a cyborg sedan awd at the right price, i swore to my friends and family it was my daily driver and not to be modded like my other car, well that last 1 year!! which is good for me. anyway its been slow but still progressive, started with a full suspension setup, kyb shocks and king springs (now i have kyb front, bilstein rear shocks with whiteline springs) anyway, i also did a brake upgrade to front evo twin piston brakes. along the way the engine got a 13g turbo and vr4 cooler with other small mods too.
now, the main project. its my daily so i dont want anything crazy, keep it looking stock, but have the fun factor and power to kill some big v8's!! so this is the plan. i have a rvr 4g63t i got a few years back super cheap. thee are pretty much evo engines anyway. the rest of the goodies are evo intake and 60mm throttle, stock head and block, rvr hyper sport turbo big 16g-7 split dump pipe and will have 3inch exhuast when finished. i also have a walbro pump and 560cc injectors. i am using the evo intake pipe and maf with a k and n filter. a stock evo 3 intercooler and piping to help keep it stock looking also. i have fitted new belts and water pump and all, along with the 4g61 engine mount on the passenger side modded to fit the engine. along with this i will be using a vr4 gearbox (3.545 ratio) i have also built a custom rear mech LSD for the cyborg, and have just changed to now be using an OS giken twin plate clutch. oh will also be running it all off the cyborg ecu with a greddy emanage piggy back.
so thats the plans anyway guys, get the engine and box in, fab a front engine mount as being evo engine doesnt have a front engine mount so custom job, the rest, fingers crossed will bolt on and i am hoping not to have many other hurdles but im sure i will.
my aim is to still have a daily driver that starts and runs like a standard car, that has the performance of an early evo, the thing handles decent already and has the brakes of the evo. and hopefully strong enough to take some punishment as i am aiming for 180kw to 200kw at all four mark.
let me know what you think guys.
cheers simon.
