Glad to see another sapporo guy on the forum.

That engine you showed is a sohc carbed 4g63. I believe they make about 90hp stock. You can get a turbo version of it from a starion over in the uk, or even bolt in a g54b. I look forward to seeing your progress on the car.

So how did you get 4 Sapporos if they weren't sold in your country?

Welcome to JNC!

Hi

sohc carbed 4g63 90hp --- low- I was thinking that 2 litre on 2 carb. will be faster
this engine was with turbo sell only?

how you mean "bolt in a g54b" - 4g54 was engine bigger - i think it was 2.6 litre
how is possible to make it bigger?
new cylinders?

I found this 4 units - and I will make all for oryginal ( except suspension and wheels )
new interior materials , and painting and all

Problem is that best car is UK version, and I will have to change cabels, pedals, servo ..from right to left

kriswawa · **Posted:** Tue Jun 30, 2009 11:50 pm

I know they was imported for UK, Germany, France in 1990 years...
Euroe version have to many bad repairs - and its wasnt good

all have LPG instalation

That engine will have well more than 90hp being that it is a dual carb version. I do not have numbers for it though. It also looks to be converted to LPG. Ahh I see that mentioned later

Kris, do you have any of the DOHC engines available?

city hunter · **Posted:** Wed Jul 01, 2009 11:31 am

I didnt even notice that. Woder what kind of numbers it puts out.

kriswawa · **Posted:** Wed Jul 01, 2009 1:11 pm

I dont have any 16v engine
just this 3 engines
2 engines 4g52
and one from photo

I also think about buying this mk2 car
its now in low price- about 500usd ( a lot of spare parts ) and front of car after work

Welcome! I too am glad to see another Lambda/Sapporo in the Garage. :tu:

That's awesome that you have four cars to pick from for parts - I would kill just to have one parts car!

It's amazing, too, based on what you said about their availability in your part of the world, that you've got four of them to pick from. There were thousands of them over here in the States years ago, and now their numbers have dwindled to very few.

There are aren't four of these within several hundred miles of me. :cry:

Good luck with your project. Welcome to the forums.

kriswawa · **Posted:** Wed Jul 01, 2009 1:42 pm

Im lucky
but time wil show - how it will works

As I know 2 engines works
and 1 works fine

I will take all parts in big garage , so even after some years- I will have it
maybe some fans from europe - will come to me...

when I have vw scirocco mk1 2 units - also come to me clients form over 400km to buy parts

new photos of my car

floor pans look to be in good condition. Your interior is in way better condition than mine wa. I'm jealous.

galant_e10 · **Posted:** Thu Jul 02, 2009 1:58 pm

Hello Kriswawa,

just look out for rust on the bottom of the car and even on / in the fuel tank - it is good the have 4 cars to store as many spare parts as you can. Also things you may think they will be useless (like screws, seat belts or the carpet), may be you or any one else will need them by time. If the things look okay, just try to save them.

By the way, the european version of the 2 litre model should release about 98 HP normally.

Do you plan to build up the RHD version from England or any of the 3 other LHD cars?

Kind regards, Tim

Hi
floor is in good condition , but this under door ( its cold in english threshold ? ) is in bad condition

they will be new- I think from different car

There will be left-rear wheel space- from blue car

Im building Left driver car, so there will be some work
wheel , servo, electric, windscreen wipers

I think it will take even 3 months on work
Door - need to get new metal sheet, etc
I hope to rebuild in good.

I want to make oryginal version as I can.
just lower, and maybe new wheels....rest will be oryginal

interior is in middle shape, maybe I will make all new - just looking the same
proce in Poland is 400us- for all new materials in interior ( without floor material )

I think my enngine is 4g52
what is difference with 4g52b ?

kriswawa · **Posted:** Thu Jul 02, 2009 2:31 pm
