FTO AUSTRALIA

$3000 grand. FTOSam is taking the gearbox & driveshaft, hubs etc for $1500, so the motor was $1500.

are you going to run nos on this one Ben?

with that under the hood I will never keep up with you now

Of course!

The nos shot will be downsized to a 25 or 50hp shot & it will be tuned to come on earlier, so it will spool the turbo's up nice & early. Gonna high flow the factory turbo's, tune it all together with a Haltech Interceptor piggback, coupled with my nice exhaust, we should see 200-225kws at the wheels.

and now runs away to

that is going to be a beast
how long do you think it will be till you are up and running with it?
as we are going to have to hit the track.

Geez mate, thats some serious power there. Guess your newly acquired cusco lsd will come in handy now even more so

Yes, lucky I got that diff!

The beauty of the whole arrangement is that it will make easy power. No need for massive nos hits or 8k redlines, a daily a driver that peak torques at 6.5 -7k.

Hope to have it running in 4 weeks... emphasize the word 'hope'

I thought the nos shot would have to be real low like 10hp with a turbo (without forgies)???????

Been told not go to over 25 for the moment. I dont think there's such a jet small enough for 10

so you gonna tell me about those cams or did you miss my post entirely

hey bennoz is it easy to put the bottom end of a 6a13 with the top end of the 6a12 or is it just stupid

Stupid

I will be doing some home work on this tomorrow to see what it will take to set a N/A 6A12/6A13 motor up will let you know when I get some info on it.

wow, congrats on out bidding jono

Hope you get it all done in the time "you hope" for ... + you gotta give me a ride in it when its up and running bwahaha

Putting tgether a hybrid would be cool, but it'd cost you a fortune. Factor in the cost of having to buy 2 engine & pay for 1 full engine rebuild - $10k.

Dunno why you'd bother when you can dump the 6A13 in as is, then add a couple of grand labour. My aim is to try do it all for under 6 grand.

I just found this

www.adelaidejap.com.au
MITSUBISHI to Engine packs
6A13 TT (V6) from Legnum RH mount (after 1996) Suit CE Lancer and on $2350
6A12 (V6) Twin Turbo (4WD Auto) 120541Kms LH mount, Suit CC Lancer $2250

Exactly^^

I may be able to get my hands on a full bottom end of a 6A13 just on its own
I already have a spare 6A12

Hrmm.. if you build this, it will truely be a unique FTO...

Ooooo the sound.... extra half a litre of torque and combined with a few ancillairy mods, you should be cracking some great power...

But as ben said, will prob cost the same as a 6a13tt conversion, but obviously be a little bit more off tap...

Hopefully it will rip some "Special K" Civics
