http://texarkana.craigslist.org/cto/802673198.html my question is is this car to much of a pain in the ***/money pit to buy. i have always wanted one but right now i have my crx and dont really want another project/cant afford another project. but i havent seen one of these in years

Ditch the stock efi, toss megasquirt on it and a proper efi intake and you are good to go. The g54b is a stout *** 4cyl, but in typical dsm/dodge style it is everything that is around the motor that is crap.

yeah what he said.

A guy that runs at my local track has a 2jz in his conquest, to me that or a 7mgte would prolly be the only way to go. pretty sexy cars tho

all the g54b are now approaching 20 years old. Ie falling apart. Not to mention you couldnt get parts for them 5 years ago when I worked for mitsu. Good luck getting anything OEM now.

I love the chassis. Hate the motor. Too bad they fall to the crusher far too often. It is a money pit, but if you can endure its quite the platform.

ok heres the gist of it.

the tranny and driveline is stout. The heads on those things are ----. change em out for http://www.racetep.com/dod_mit.html heads. the EFI system is ----, but you can make some ok money.

all in all its a good project car.

also, a 4g63 mitsubishi engine bolts right up to the tranny. and the 2.6 liter engine is the same one mazda makes and puts into the b2600 pick up trucks.

Your right, the 4g63 does bolt up, but only the wide-block 4g63 bolts to the stock conquest/starion transmission. And those only came in starions overseas. I personally have never seen a wideblock. The common dsm 4g63 narrow-block will not bolt up.

It takes an adapter to mate the narrow block (ie 99.999% of 4g63) to the starion trans. (which shares many components with the FC btw)


Honestly, your best bet is to find a wideblock 4g64(all longitudinal 4g64 are wideblock) which will bolt straight to the trans. From there you can slap a 63' head on or whatever. Not too difficult.
