need help with my turbo 6a12

So you want a hairdryer on your FTO? Or do you already have a hairdryer in it? This is the section for it. All other big power projects & forced induction goes here too.

need help with my turbo 6a12

Post by fatwgn »

hey guys i'm just about to drop a 6a12tt into my cc lancer coupe that is already awd, it is the 6a12tt out of a galant, the ones before the legnum shape and is the mirror image motor of the fto engine (timing belt faces the right chasis rail when looking towards back of car). It already has a custom intake and exhaust with a single gt35r on it, i was just wondering what other mods i can do to it? i'm finding it hard to find any parts for it as it looks like not many people use this motor.

I am trying to find some forged internals, main and big end bearings, head gaskets(performance ones), 272 cams, vavles, springs etc, aftermarket computer (haltec), better oil pump, better water pump, rebuild kit with all the gaskets etc, better coilpacks, better leads where can i get these from without paying heaps for custom ones?

can i use the parts from a fto 6a12 like the mivec heads or any other parts?

any help will be great guys, i'm trying to make this thing a weapon thanks in advance

You wont be able to use mivec heads

I can answer most of those, but the answers & prices will depend on the following question: Are you the kind of guy that just wants to click on a website item & have it delivered or are you the kind of guy that will go to fabrication workshops & have parts made? I ask because there are very few suppliers around that do some of the parts you are after off the shelf & they are f**king expensive.

Plus yeah on the mivec topic, steer well clear of a Mivec head if you have a hairdryer.

You cant/shouldnt use the heads because of oil starvation...

You can fit a lighter crank pulley + alt pulley they will fit being a 6a12. rb-performance.co.uk
