Hello GVR4.org! My name is Robby, out of Gaithersburg, Maryland.
Purchased 1991 GVR4 #996/2000 to use as daily and continue my AE86 drift build. plans changed, sold the Hachi and now devoting all resources to the gvr4. Here's the History and some pictures, i will also go over what i want to do, any help/input is greatly appreciated. this is my first DSM
Add said built engine stock turbo on 1 bar boost HKS chip and ran great for $4k. went to go look at the car, cyl head looked cleeaan, no leaks but was running rich so took her for a drive and beat on her a little bit and gave it another week before i came back to beat on her again and drive her home the 1.5hr trip. i lost the list of what the kid said the 4g63t was rebuilt with, but the power felt right and the interior was mint and had nrg wheel, short shift w momo knob, pedal rebuild kit, 3" turbo back exhaust. on the way home a grinding developed whenever the clutch engaged like there were pieces of metal stuck between the clutch and flywheel!! had to take the fairy, told the guy i couldn't shut off the car bc some b.s. i made up but i had this feeling i shouldn't shut her off. stop by the evo shop in airpark down the street en route home to get little whatsup whatsup on what they saw and thought...and the car wouldn't start. wasn't the battery, the starter was hung up we concluded and tried rocking her back and forth, ended up just rolling her and jumping her from second gear. so i get the car home and into the air to really check it out and it turns out that there's a piece of metal missing from the block that one of the transmission bolts screws to (pictures below with me pointing to it)! so the kid had fashioned a super long 8 inch pencil thick bolt/fastener to hold the transmission to the front engine mount!...i know, i know. so at that point i begin to take everything apart. get to the spark plugs and cyl 3 plug has no electrode!! then take the turbo off and oil is dripping from the exhaust manifold!! oh no! go under the car and take the transcase off and its torn to shreds, half the cylinder with the spline teach is demolished ahhh!!! lift the engine get the trans off and there are metal rings in the gears that look like were torn off from the transcase so at that point i decided i'm just doing a full engine/trans swap and try to get what money i can from the engine im pulling or maybe use it for spare parts
if i cant find a shop to help me i plan on having an engine imported through jdmsource.com unless anyone has a good reason not to, and doing all the work at home. i have all the time in the world outside of work with no dependents so i'm throwing every penny i have at this. shooting for more dependability than stupid power. want 270sh hp was thinking big 16g
anyone know where to get an AMG wing replica?
