    My A72 Build

    Don my Ck2 has the 4g15 SOHCcarb engine.My initial plan was to buy a 4g15 twin cam efi and keep it to the ck2 and keep the ck2 single cam carb to mine.But i have big plans for the ck2 end of the year so will swap the DOHC to the a72.Plus think of all the fun and power a that motor will produce in a rear wheel drive car....

    the SOHC and mine look alike..the only difference is my distributor comes from the side while all the 4g15 have it in the back

    Guys got some good news..Compared the preassure plate of the 4g15 and that of the 4g11(my current motor)and they both arethe same.Fingers crossed hopefully th bell housing will also match.

    Don there is an Evo projet waiting to happen under my porch.its a 1998 ck2 lancer.But for the time being my current financial status cannot bare such a cost or even come close to do the conversion.But i do have plans for it in the future. Aa for the weigh of the engine my block is cast iron but the 4g15 motor is aluminium.Found a guy who could fabrcate the mounts.now next thing is to check whether the bell housing will fit.so once thats also taken care of will proceed with the swap. Thank you

    Don the wire harness is avalable only the ecu is not available..and like u said yes the mounting points and the bel housing needs fabrication.other than motor which i have selected do recommend anything else..There is a 4g63 SOHC which came with the lancer box turbo available in panchikawatte.This will of course be a direct fit.i would have gone with this but the carb is missing.He said he will find and keep it.I will upload some photos asap it looks in quite messed up condition.Plus if im not mistaken a carb turbo is kind of a hassel isnt it?? many times i have considered turbo charging mine but still could not think of a way to control engine idle Don you have given me vast amount of knowledge which has definitly changed my approach and the angle i look at about the swap Thank you

    Yes Komi that is the plan.I have sourced an engine aswell.My main target was to do an engine swap right after the body work and pint was completed.But unfortunately my fincial status did not permit it.Plus u remember the household folk wanted the car out of there asap. Don the 4g15 came in many varients.The SOHC carb SOHC EFI and the DOHC EFI.DOHC is quite rare here..But both the efi varients have a big tuning potential aswell as after market accessories... According to my mechanic i will have to fabricate new mounts and a new bell housing My main intention to do an engine swap is coz i have taken the maximum out of the old 4g11. D

    Macahng the thing is i did fix a set lower coils.But when ever the car went over a pot hole the shoch gets maxed out and hits the very end. I think like u suggested the best is to go for coil overs And have a new plan for the build as well.. Thinking of a motor swap.my plan is to swap a 4g15 sohc..your inputs will be greatly appreciated Thank you

    Guy got some good news.Replaced the washer kit in the brake pump and found the brakes to be much better than before.. Also guys any idea how i need to approach the lowering procedure..the rear leafs could be put the lowest setting as it is in the highest at the moment but how do i do the same with the front Thanks

    They wanted 38k for it.was told will give it for around 35 if i trade the drums also.Plus those discs need restoring.Actually to really honest DON the brakes got much worse after it was filled.According to my mechanic he said that any disc from a rear wheel drive car should do the trick with a bit of fabrication.currently i got to pump the brake twice before i could brake if the speed is a little above 50.

    Davy all of the above was done except for the disc conversion.Also i do apologize for the delayed reply .The discs at panchikawatte are overpriced.but might go for a set..

    Don While the car was undergoing tinkering i got the drums refilled.The shoes were replaced with brand new ones

    My A72 Build

    Yes Davy. I repaired the complete brake system...from the liners to the cylinders..also the master pump was repaired..the first few times u use the brakes it's okay.but once it gets heated up its not effective at all

    Davy 4-2-1 is highly effective at mid range rpm..a 4-1 is used in race cars since they run at high rpm...yep the painter is gonna get it done for me in silver..Also the chrome will cost me a lot davy http://www.redline360.com/garage/4-1-vs-4-2-1-headers-what-is-the-difference-what-makes-more-powerhttp://www.redline360.com/garage/4-1-vs-4-2-1-headers-what-is-the-difference-what-makes-more-power

    Guys an update..this is the completed set of headers waiting to get back in to the engine bay.A final coat of paint will be applied on it before it goes in tomorrow Also can u guys suggest a good colour for it .
  21. dingy

    My A72 Build

    Yep u are correct..The car is yet at the workshop getting the headers done....Still couldnt get any pics of it since i have not seen it...need to work on the rear suspension asap..My mechanic has still not come after "awrudu"..i need him to remove the leaf springs so that i could get it re-cambered..the rear shocks have to be changed..the rear suspension is really stiff ..also the new clutch plate and the pressure plate will go in as soon as the mechanic gets here As for the frontdisks still looking for a solution.I was told that there is a yard in kurunagala and that they might have it..planning to do a trip on the bike to kandy.of all goes well will drop in to the yard to source for some parts.....

    Oh ryt..so i guess i did a bad choice in color..anyways ordered a sickspeed oil cooler should arrive soon.. At the moment the a custom set of 4 2 1 headers are been made for it...will upload the pictures on the thread asap
  23. dingy

    My A72 Build

    Thats how the oil cooler is fitted On the 22nd the car will go for a custom 4-2-1 exhaust and for a custom rear axle stablizer bar

    My A72 Build

    A few engine mods i did added a sickspeed sandwhich plate for the oil cooler This is how it sits in the engine Sourced an oil cooler from a 4dr5 It was sprayed silver later Since i was gonna run bigger jets in the carb got a Tomei fuel pressure regulator .
