Thats really good looking old skool vr4, why cant my Celica sell fast enough as id snap that up.

[AlanDITD]

are these quicker or slower than the 8G's?

[Kieran]

Stock vs Stock, the 6G's a touch slower.

However, most of them are manual and we all know how easily you wind up a 4G63T with considerably less investment than a 6A13TT

[AlanDITD]

oh its an evo engine...damn id love one of these then lol..

[foxdie]

Wish I had the cash

[RobboVR4]

oh its an evo engine...damn id love one of these then lol..

so i take it you can use evo tuning bit on this then?

[bradc]

It is the same engine and gearbox as an EVO 1-3. There are various small differences through the engine but they are the same overall design.

[Axeboy]

Much cheapness for upgrading...

The vr4 is a 6 bolt and the evo's are 7, thats the main difference

[e39a]

known around the world as EVO 0
as it has the same 4G63T engine as evo 1-3.

Oooo-errrrr! She's a bit of a looker Other than the chip and the wheels, is everything else standard?

Good luck with the sale.

I think the 'Evo 0' had a quite specific spec so I wonder if your car fits the bill...?

[Axeboy]

I believe its more towards the vr4 evolution..

But some still see it as the "Evo zero" purely as the drivetrain was adopted

[AlanDITD]

Awesome video aswell, really enjoyed that....tiff is a legend, the rally driver was a bit of a cock though...

Good luck with the sale though, looks amazing.

[valleyforge1]

Wow.

Here are accumalated details from various posts about the Galant VR-4 Evo 0....

I believe that they are accurate but I do not take responsibility for total accuracy but I think it shows the spec of the Evo 0 which was different from std VR-4...

Post from vr4 forum – oz/nz?
These "VR4 Evolutions", also commonly known in NZ as an Evo 0, DO exist. They are everywhere over here. Typically you pass one on at least every few days. They aren't as common here as the normal VR4, which would probably see several per day, but they are still quite common none the less.

The specs have been posted above, i think by JStyle. They are literally, the Evo1 spec'd engine, and evo1 spec'd drive train. entirely. 510cc injectors, small 16g turbo, e1 ecu, i believe different cams, still got the vr4 head and matching intake manifold, and vr4 block tho, but got the 3909 ratio diffs, got both steel selectors on g/box (or maybe just 1, i forget - blew that one a long time ago ) Umm, they have vented bonnets - see my pics, the bumper has a little extra slit vent at the bottom (not in my pics, i sold mine), umm, bigger i/c (e1 size), 4-bolt factory rear. umm, can't remember what else.

From what I've seen, they were all made in 92 - mine was Oct 92 from memory, so they were at the very very end of production for that shape VR4.

And YES they did have VR4 Evolution on the doors. Sadly I never took any pics of my my car before i re-sprayed it tho, so can't show you.

Just seen this thread, and I am familiar with the 'Galant Evo 0', but they are not called Evolution by Mitsubishi, this is a slang name to help identify them from normal VR4s. The most notable difference between the VR4 and the VR4 EVO is the turbo. A td05 14b in the VR4 and a td05 16g in the VR4 EVO. This resulted in the VR4 EVO having 240bhp and the VR4 having 190bhp.

There are 5 JDM factory variants (that I know about) of the VR4 made between 88 and 92 the chassis numbers are as follows:
1. VR4 (14b turbo) : E39A
2. VR4 RS (14b turbo) : sorry don't know the chassis number for these ones
3. VR4 (16g turbo) : E39A-1
4. VR4 RS (16g turbo) : E38A
5. VR4 Automatic (td04 13g turbo) : E39A

The cars with a 16g turbo have the following differences to the 14b cars (there are more, but I don't know them all)

1. The injectors in the 16g have yellow 510cc injectors and a 14b has blue or sometimes white 450cc ones.
2. The intake manifold on the 16g will have 'eci multi' written on it whereas a 14b will have 'cyclone'.
3. The intercooler is larger (470mm wide) on the 16g
4. Bonnet vents on the 16g and none on the 14b
5. Rear diff has 4 bolts on the 16g and 3 on the 14b
6. Different cam profile on the 16g (apparently very similar to the evo3)
7. Bigger fuel pump in the 16g (sorry, don't know the capacity)

Differences between the RS and non-RS models are much the same as with the evos, black mirrors and door handles, no electrics, etc.

As far as I am aware no VR4 came with adjustable suspension, so the car you are looking at will have had that fitted aftermarket.

Also almost all 88-92 VR4s have red rocker covers, this is completely normal.
