Hi All,
Just wondering if the Autospeed article here is correct?
http://www.autospeed.com.au/cms/A_0307/article.html
Was there really a factory 6A12 turbo engine? or have Autospeed stooped to the same factual reporting level as Hot 4's and Fast Fours?
Why would you want to do a turbo conversion when you could do an entire transplant then mod it for more power if required? (e.g intake, exhaust, boost controller...............bigger turbo, intercooler)
Especially if you were already running with a GR so MIVEC didn't come into the equation.
Cheers
Chris

apparently the 6A12TT has the gearbox mounted on the other side...

Ya thats true, the gearbox is on the otherside. which means everything is mirror imaged basically. The intake is on the left instead of right.

Did it take you long to find this thread? Cause it was buried under 2 years worth of posts

Ahhhh......2004.........great year that.
After posting that I had a look at a Galant at Rik and Joe's on the Gold Coast running that exact engine in the flesh.
Gearbox is indeed on the other side.
Bet you can't find any FTO QLD Club Yahoo Group posts from 2002!
Cheers

Yes it was available in the old 2ltr Galant VR4. A 6A12TT kicking out 240bhp, why it never got put in the FTO is anyones guess... but the interesting thig is that all the manifolds, heads, pistons etc... should fit the FTO..
Rods, Crank etc.. are all the same part numbers. You would just need a little custom pipework.
