4G15 MIVEC Long Block Disassemble

Pulled apart a blown 4G15 to scope out the internals. It had lost cylinder #1. Who knows where it went @_@ Head seems fine.

Z27AG 4G15 - Wreck Motor - Cracked Cylinder Block

I bought a wrecked colt, but to my surprise under the timing covers and behind the engine mount.







The block was cracked. The engine mount had cracked the block @_@
Head seems fine as well as all the other bits and gearbox.

It came with all new plugs and screws.











.











It is hold in with 1 bolt (firewall side), push pins and some screws that bush in.
Took a bit of elbow grease to pull it out, as the plugs were stuck in there good with sand.
Apart from that it went it easy enough.

They are around $70US, local in Australia $110ea

Rota Grid - 15x8 +0 - Z7AG

Basic calc, but effective: http://www.willtheyfit.com/
More advanced calc: http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp

This is how the car sits without any guard work.

I already have a slight camber on the fronts.
These rims will most likely be used for track (that is what i tell myself). I have fallen in love with the look though.
Hope to make em fit nicely!

Previous rims were 17x7 +42 or +45 ( I can't really remember). They ran a 205/40
As seen on the photos are 205/50 on the 15x8

I was looking into the YR Advance car. They seem to run a 17x8 +35 with a 215/40. Apparently to get them to fit on the front they need around 1.5-2degree camber. The Rears have about 3mm clearance.

YR Advance 17x8 +35 Rays Rims RE30 According to my translations. They use to run a 17x7.5 +38.

4Sale - Z27AG YR-Advance Airbox RColt Ralliart Colt

YR-Advance Airbox forsale. Location Perth. 

I gave it a clean with some steel wool. It would come up pretty good if you hit it with metal polish. I didn't have any around.

Dis-assembly and clean

Bell mouthed intake. Apparently increase boost by 0.1Bar

Swapped the panel filters around. 

Brackets that you remove from the stock air box (not included). The bolts are included.

Z27AG Ralliart Colt Clutch Install Video

Done a quick timelapse of the clutch install.
The first minute of the video had bad frames @_@
The video shows most of the topside engine bay work.
What you don't see is axle and engine brace removal.
