Don't exactly know why, but the idea of a 4B11 in a VR4 just popped into my head. With the engine sitting the same direction as late evo 4Gs but with the turbo at the back, in a VR4 it would be the rigtht way around. I don't know if it's a good idea, just an idea.

I dont think you would pay 10g for a smashed donor from pickles or fowles. Thats the best way imo

The Nissan dualis has the same set up, exhaust headers are against the firewall, there are probably others that have a similar setup. You might end up having more room for the turbo, I'm not sure of the exact setup though, but oil

 

changes will be piss easy :thumbsup:

 

Might be just as easy to engineer it the right way round and have a 6 speed to go with it.

The factory computer wiring would be a massive headache, because I have an ASX and the throttle is drive by wire, some inputs from the speedo I think go through a CAN system which is a network cable, but I could be wrong

Can bus system is a pain in the absolute ass! good when working, $$$$$$ when not (euro cars are much worse though)

 

I can also confirm you have a S*#T load more space when the turbos mounted near the fire wall :)
