Austarion

Hi
Fist time post on this site.
I rally a 1981 lancer turbo in NZ. 4G63- TC05/TCO6. intercooler, link ECU, 1 bar boost, 4.6 LSD and EX2000 grear box, EX 2000 frount end.
Its a blast to drive and puts a few of those BDA Escorts to shame at local events. Ran at the Race to the Sky at Easter and was wasting a left hand drive import factory BDA untill intercooler hose blew off.
I been reading all the great posts on this site and have to say there is a wealth of information for starion people. I have a jap import A183A in the shed that I might restore. Digtal dash model.
Also there is a 12v model at the local scrap yard. Is the 12v model worth anything or are they as commom as the 8v ones? Also has 5 stud wheels.

snap up the 5 stud parts and 12valve motor man, hell, if you can get the whole car sheap anough, the parts are worth alot alone....... a 5 stud setup for a starion went for more that $600 on trademe a couple of weeks ago.. :)

Oh, welcome to Austaz :). Good to see another kiwi here.

welcome!

No you don't. It's not as good as everyone makes it out to be.

With an SOHC 8v you can have the head ported, have a choice of many off the shelf cams, easily adapt it to multi-point, get spare parts.

A 12V head is rare. Any cam mods are a custom job. Any MPI mods are a custom job. The parts for them are rare.

Either give the 8V head a good working over or go twincam.

ahem, VR4 internals and head.
heaps of upgrade parts, spares, not rare.
