4G63T Engine Questions

[carnetics]

Hi guys

My airtrek is reaching 100,000kms soon so thought I should ask a few questions about parts I might need to replace. Not many replacement parts in NZ.

1) Engine mounts - can I use Evo engine mounts?

2) Can I buy a Evo 5/6/7/8/9 Engine with all the turbos and manifolds etc and mate it with the gearbox? Will it work? Because got quite a few rebuilt 4G63T motors for sale here.

3) If I wanted to replace the clutch, what brands should I go for?

4) Is it better to use a MAF sensor or convert to MAP sensor? This is for my TD05 conversion.

engine mount i dun think its same(not sure)

engine evo 4-9 is Plug N Play basic

clutch alot of brands, exedy, os giken, ogura, hks, cusco, ACT...etc etc

if got engine management, use MAP is always more accurate. and the engine bay looks nicer as the MAF housing is deleted

carnetics, are you still intending to use the stock INVECII gearbox?

 

[carnetics]

Yes intending to use the stock gearbox. Will be attaching a transmission cooler at my next service because intending to reflash the ECU to run 95 Octane at 1.1bar. Whys that?

bro... why do you need transmission cooler because you reflash ecu?

Yah. Overkill?

Not really overkill. Its recommended as the heat levels increase due to higher load due to increased boost levels.. Our ATR comes with a factory ATF cooler most of us here add an additional ATF cooler to deal with the heat. Preventive damage control for the gb.

Yeah exactly. Also, I've seen what certain builds with this car on the on the tiptronic gearbox are capable of. So this is also a sort of "for future use" as well. Just one question though.

To those in NZ, when you have a ATF cooler or a Oil cooler, what happens during winter? Does it adversely affect any of the fluids/mechanisms?

Oh and anyone know where to get stronger engine mounts? Or do Evo ones fit?

Not sure bout the cooler in winter, i havent put one in yet. I know for a car that only has the one in the radiator you hook it up before that do it can still heat to optimum temp before the gearbox, that is of course assuming yor not running your coolant too hot.
