Hey Guys
previously had a 1996 Mitsi SSG RVR making some good power for a family wagon, unfortunately it didnt survive a t-bone crash.

managed to replace the hole with this 1990 VR4, have 5k worth of receipts for engine rebuild when i bought it with a blown turbo
Basic Mods when purchased (aside fromt the RS gear)
RS bonnet
RS front bar
RS front doors
3" exhaust system
38mm external wastegate
some 17s
10.5 eagle leads
lowered suspension
front strut brace

once it made it home it received the following from my crashed RVR
Stainless exhaust manifold
T3T4 turbo
matched up the exhaust and plumb back for wastegate
510cc injectors
EVO AFM
Walbro 500hp fuel pump
600x300 front mount
new custom intercooler piping
GFB Mach ll BOV
Apexi SAFC ll
Gizmo IBC
Gauges and sounds
Battery relocation to boot

here are some pics when i first got her



once i had it running again with some 17x9 12p advanti stages and some stretch.




decided to take it off the road again and have added the following
Aftermarket intake manifold
80mm throttle body
Aftermarket Fuel rail
1000cc precision injectors
Emprom ECU with Razza custom chip
Adjustable Fuel Pressure reg
Slightly de-loomed, looking to tidy up round the fuse box next
Deep Dish Suede drift style Steering wheel.


also decided that no longer having a use for the front brakes of the RVR measured them up and the mounting points were the same, managed to match up some 8G Galant 4 Stud discs that were the same measurements as the 5 stud RVR disc,


currently saving for a set of adjusties as rear shocks are poked, then cert, and tune

Future plans
Alloy Radiator
Screamer pipe
Body needs some TLC
Also just purchased some old school rear window louvers,
adjustable rear camber arms as seen in a current thread on here
4 Bolt rear end

would love to know your thoughts
cheers

Good to see you building a VR4.
These Magna's are getting rare!

Not sure about the wheels sticking out though or suspension height.

How does she go compared to your RVR?

[syco_rvr]

yea thats the best thing, not many of them around anymore especially in NZ
the wheels were just what i had lying around, wasnt expecting them to stick out so far, are you talking about the height in the rear of that 4th pic?

only ran 10psi (wastegate spring) in the VR4 and without the tune the RVR had i think it was pretty close to it.
speaking with the guy who does our tuning thinks with the current mods and 17/18psi could be looking from 270 - 300kw atw
