The 6A12 I've seen (from a 7g, not an fto) has a one piece steel sump, i.e no sandwich plate.

I know that is what you mean, but if you are planning on using the alloy part (or samwich plate as you call it) from the 6A13 then it won't work if it has no kink in the block.
Also, the tin part of the 6A13 one is very small, so the 6A12 tin sump won't bolt to it either. Though without seeing them to compare i'm not 100% sure, the fto one may be different.

well heres hoping for the best then ae dude?? will kep informed
ok well a 6A12 Mivec 4Wd Drivetrain is Born!! YAY
after spending the day at Geartech Cleaning the gunk i pre-assembled it all together late this afternoon. and it fits,no problems at all!!!
so now i await a Clutch(new or used im unsure at present)
i prepped all the controll arms,breaks,hub carriers,rotors,calipers etc for painting today and polished up the front rotors wich look really good now..
have decided all the brakes are going silver.
Polished the Subframe.... well started bout 85% complete,does not look too bad tho!!
so atleast we know the sumps and blocks on a 6A12 and 6A13/13tt are ALL the SAME.....
So you are using a full ST-R exhaust, or Mivec headers and ST-R downpipes? You are also using an ST-R manual gearbox and transfer case aren't you?
If I'm replying to your thread and helping you out, it is because I like you and want to help out your VR-4 ownership. No other reason
NOT ALL THE SAME, FTO and 8G are, the 7G isn't.
Must have something to do with the orientation of the engine. Looks good though Q.
sorry that was what i did mean lol.. the orientation is the same as the 8g then there wont be a problem..lucky me i think lol
heres the list..
i used:all 4WD Gear tho...
ST-r Headers
ST-r Down Pipes
ST-r Bottom Sump
ST-r Sump Samwich Plate
VR4 Gearbox
VR4 Xfer case
and i will be using a VR4 Exhaust System until i fab up my new 2 1/2 inch system(mild) and will be using a Fujitsu Exhaust
Cripes is Stephen Flemming selling exhausts now too?

and i will be using a VR4 Exhaust System until i fab up my new 2 1/2 inch system(mild) and will be using a Fujitsu Exhaust
(running a vr4 system on the 25ST, with a de-cat and 5zigen back box)
i have a Fuji box for starters..and i want to inset performance res's in and straighten it more than factory dude
meaning?Cripes is Stephen Flemming selling exhausts now too?
Fujitsu are most commonly known to sell heat pumps, as advertised by Stephen Fleming on their tv adverts.
The exhaust you have will be made by Fujitsubo. Ryan was just being a little pedantic and funny.
oh hold on while i catch a laugh!!!
nope sorry all out of laughs lol,oops what do you know i laughed out loud!!
Engine is together and in!!!
Subframe polished,and installed...
now to do all the wiring and plumbing and then try start it!!!
i am not going to put it all together until i have it running on the spot safely..
so heres to hoping all goes well
Looking good!
nice work,
you done anything to protect that polished sub frame from the elements?
thanx man... um was thinking of clearing it but then if it starts chipping then it will look ugly where as its a easier job maintaining it as is i dont plan on ever taking the drivetrain out again... lol
