Vr4 Owner Brissie!

[AuSpec Vr4]

Hey

I'm from Brisbane and own a 1990 Aus spec VR4 which i have currently had for 2 years now, slowly being built up and enjoying it. Colour is silver, stock Alloys, Stock body and Drivetrain. The only things i have changed is the Aus spec front to a RS front. The motor has been built from scratch, 2.4L done about 8,000kms since the rebuild. This is my first car, i'm slowly going through everything where places haven't been serviced in years. Currently my 3-4 slider hub assembly shattered into three pieces and ruined my input shaft and i'm now up for a W5m33 spare but haven't had any luck yet.



Cheers, Brock

Looks good! What are your goals?

 

[AuSpec Vr4]

I would be happy with 300, but im sure i want to hit 400-500 one day.

The Motor

2.4l 100mm standard crank
Wiseco 8.7.1 87mm pistons
ACL race bearings
ARP studs main and head
Crank girdle
Stock Vr4 head
TD05 16g (not the big 16g)
Evo III cast manifold ceramic coated
Standard exhaust (I'm sure its holding me back)
850cc injectors E85 (not tuned yet) pushing 16 PSI
Speed density and ECMlink
Walbro 255


I have a set of BC 280 cams, titanium springs and retainers and new set of top line lifters to go in yet. I haven't put it on the dyno yet because of the tune being so far off.

Wow! 2.4 on a 16g would be interesting. Ive seen a 2.4 with a baby turbo and I tell ya now, boost from idle! Only issue that they just choke and no matter what you do, the ex housing is the limiting factor. Not good for drag but great for street/ rally.

 

[AuSpec Vr4]

Yeah i feel that the turbo holds it back allot and yes, it has allot of torque, using lower gears all the time and it just has the power to pull from 1500 its just great for climbing hills and around town.

wow sounds like u have alot of potential in that baby. once u start getting rid of all them basic restrictions, i'm sure you can reach ur goals quite easily.
i was thinking it may have been the car i had my eyes on in the carsales ad. but maybe not. when you start unleashing the beast be sure to update us as she already looks like a nice lil girl. :thumbsup:

Yea its a nice daily, slowly is getting somewhere, haven't changed much from the last post, my gearbox selected two gears while changing, luckily didnt let the clutch out but its back on the road running great.
