cool.

i'm going with the redline shockproof light in the box. i figured the shockproof will help it handle the power if there were any problems.

so is the L300 gearbox strong enough to cop the abuse of a lightly modified vr4? ie 200kw atw?

ok the gearbox is a narrow bolt, but the engine it came with originally was a 7 bolt. we've picked up an earlier 6 bolt l300 flywheel and will see if it'll fit onto the vr4 and work with the starter motor. failing that we'll try the sigma/scorpion flywheel as suggested. while on the topic of l300 ge...

i have a question. we started doing this conversion last weekend, vr4 into the l300 van. but we've run into a little problem. the gearbox mounts up to the vr4 motor no problem, but we're having issues with the clutch and flywheel. i need to find a flywheel that suits the vr4 (6 bolt) that'll work wi...

is it a case that the runners dont line up?

is it possible to use an L300 EFI intake manifold with a VR4 head?

if so, cool. if not, what EFI ready intake manifold would have i have to use to have the throttle body over the top of the head?

crank case = part that bolts up to the bottom of the block to hold the crank in place

i know the difference between narrow and wide blocks (330mm vs 310mm), but is it possible to just swap the crankcase to convert a narrow block to a wide block and vice versa? has anyone even tried this?

yeah i'm going to be speaking to ray miller from miller engineering about the swap. we were probably going to put a cat on anyway just to save hassles are you sure about the gearbox? i was using the below thread for a lot of information : http://www.performanceforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6719...

unfortunately in qld i have to go with the vr4 or newer engine as the van is a 1994 model.

but interesting to know there are a few ppl thinking of and doing it

yeah i'll do a photo blog and explain everything we did. everything i've found makes it sound and look like a pretty simple swap...with some pretty extreme results! 43.8kw --> 150kw+ !!!! nice.

well i've had a change of heart. i'm going to go with the 4g63 engine from the vr4 with some slight customisation. i found that the intake manifold wont fit in the van, so i'm going to get the van efi IM and use that for simplicity. then i'm going to get a narrower radiator and run the IC pipes both...

or could the 4g93 turbo bolt up as well? same question as the last one about gearbox etc

so that's the 4g61 engine?

a mate keep on telling me to go turbo engine swap but i have so many more questions about a full engine swap. something like the 4g63 sohc or dohc turbo or the g63b turbo - would any of them be a straight bolt in? what about gearboxes? would my stock gearbox be ok? same goes for the rest of the driv...
