Re: Syntax's 4G93T Build
UPDATE TIME
Clutch Slave Issue;
This is what one of the lancer guys has going on, moving the slave to the other side of the arm.
While it works, this was my plan B.
I thought i could get the slave out of the turbo's way by moving it up and back alittle
Prototype 1 - Worked but was not happy with the slave arm angle
Prototype 2 - Worked very well, need to swap the bleed valve and the banjo bolt
was very happy with option 2. Finally install pics.
As in stands on sunday. Its in getting turbo back exhaust at the moment

Re: Syntax's 4G93T Build
Is it just me, or does it look odd seeing an intercooler with a facelift bar . I'm not saying it's stupid or anything, looks good, I'm just used to seeing pictures of intercoolers with larger aftermarket bars on the FTOssyntax wrote:

Re: Syntax's 4G93T Build
Well here is my thoughts on that, a) I haven't found a aftermarket bar i love enough to buy it b) my experience with aftermarket bars is they never fit right and require re-finishing to get perfect c) as im building this for daily duties, I may yet paint the intercooler black.

I didnt get to weight the engines alone, but today the whole car is now 89Kg lighter with intercooler and piping in.

Re: Syntax's 4G93T Build
89kg lighter than previously weighed or stated in the manual?
I think the 89kg difference cannot be from just the motor

If I am asking, then I care. This much should be abundantly obvious, but maybe not to all.

Re: Syntax's 4G93T Build
Id have to be inclined to agree with spetz.
89kg is a lot of weight out of a block alone. And with the added weight of intercooler/turbo.piping etc it makes you wonder where all that weight went and where it was!

Re: Syntax's 4G93T Build
Yeah its lots be interested to compare power and torque with mine being 6a12 single turbo. The loss of weight will be down to smaller block only one head and extractor few less cams etc. Turbo cooler and piping weigh bugger all

Re: Syntax's 4G93T Build
Nice update indeed!
Looks great, and top work on the slave.
Meanwhile on weight, I dropped 25kgs alone by the difference of 600ml of capacity between my Astron motor, and sirius motor.
Losing 2 pistons and as VIP said, it does add up.
As also made mention, there's no exhaust yet also, so add some kilos back for that system to bolt on, it won't be 89kgs, but it will still count. *unless the weigh in had previous exhaust..*

Re: Syntax's 4G93T Build
the weight was measured with a load displaying hoist. The whole car (without me in it) its 89Kg lighter now with full stainless exhaust (glovebox and lower driver side plastics are still out but prob 1kg stop combined). There was a few kg alone in just the difference between the cast factory y pipe section of the exhaust compared to the dump+straight stainless now. The rest has to be just the block difference.
The intercooler itself prob weight 3-4Kg, all the piping is Ali so its next to nothing.
Oh the car is also driving around now, still on wastegate pressure (7psi) until i triple check everything and change to the evo6 ecu.

Re: Syntax's 4G93T Build
I'm actually excited to see if the handling changed. In my excitement I also ordered last night Cusco Zero-1 Coilovers, Cusco Lower H Brace, and Cusco Rear Strut Brace.Taz wrote:More power and a decent weight reduction
