Sprinter Update

[NickAE86]

howdy

 

I thought i'd share some of whats currently happening with my gte sprinter. I don't know what ive posted previously so i'll give you all a brief history. Most of the current work on this particular sprinter is being done at a workshop as I'm after a1 results. My daily sprinter is my diy pig :dance:

 

Recent Mods:

1993 ae101 4agze motor

T series disc brake rear end

cusco 1.5 way lsd

custom 1 piece tailshaft

w57 gearbox

custom bellhousing

ihi vj6 turbo (mazda famila)

calsonic fmic

Kouki Levin front end (lights, grill & bar)

cusco catch can

 

I'm focusing on the engine bay & suspension before i get to asthetics

 

Current Mods:

 

Familia turbo has departed thanks to a piece of gasket finding its way into the oil feed line...how the hell it got in there is a mystery

 

the following work is being done atm:

GT28R & manifold adapting to suit

larger fmic

fuel reg

3" stainless exhaust

rust removal

 

work to follow includes:

custom radiator

ecu

RX7 Series 4 front brake upgrade

suspension "upgrades"

Bride Ergo seats

 

I then intend on fitting my Whiteline tailights to perfect the JDM AE86 look...then its off to Ken Streeter for a wing, sideskirts & a respray

 

i took a few pics of the engine bay today...so far only the turbo has been fitted but its gives you an idea of whats going on.

 

Engine Bay 1

Engine Bay 2

Engine Bay 3

 

excuse the photo quality as pics were taken with my phone. I'll add more info/pics as it progresses

 

oh and heres one of my 4age daily driver...i'll get more pics of it when i get a real camera

 

Daily Driver

 

i forgot to take pics when i did the engine swap. As far as swaps go it was really easy as the engine was taken out of another sprinter....only thing that needed changing was the sump. Whole ordeal took about 2 days ie: removing 4ac, removing 4age and transplant. I managed to scavenge the 2.25" exhaust off my gte sprinter to save a few $$$

 

i was going to upload some pics in the folder you created for me in the gallery nick but i couldnt figure out how :D

nice rims

 

what's involved in the s4 brake upgrade? do you keep 4x114.3 stud pattern?

[DEEONE]

I have put a 100kw motor in my sprinter with complete custom exhaust and king springs.

 

For my sprinter i have customised commodore brake rotors disk and hubs.

A hilux diff with 4:3 ratio

20v quadthrottle bodys

GT4 brake booster and a byass brake valve

 

I gota some serious suspension. I have to get adjustable strut tops so i can get some camber cause the commodore brakes sit to far out near the wheel arch.
