s362 Fitment

[bkaesvziank]

I was wondering how hard is it to fit an s362 in a gvr4. I used to own a 1g that I ended up having to part out because I got into an accident and the body was toast. I've always liked the vr4 and I have a chance to get a pretty clean shell. The s362 fit fine in my 1g but I know that the engine bay is smaller in a vr4. Does anyone know if an s362 will fit and have a certain setup they use(no a/c, certain radiator, certain manifold)?

I mocked up my setup using a S362. It's really tight compared to a 30-35R, but it is possible. I'm running a custom JMF Topmount, but they have made them for 42R's to fit. I'm running a 1G DSM radiator pushed up under the rad support a bit, with the A/C condenser also moved forward a bit. I have 2 Spal pusher fans because there wasn't room for them behind the rad.

VR4's have less room between the head and rad support, but more room up top, so a top-mount manifold will make it the easiest.

So do you think that this manifold would work?

I'm pretty sure that is the one that does. Mine was built as a one-off, so it's not really offered, but I'm close with the guys over there, and they know what they're doing. If you call to place the order, they usually have mock-up turbo's around so they can modify final assembly slightly to allow fitment of the big S300 cover. Just tell them what you want, they can make it work.

Alright cool thanks for the input
