yeah kill yourself

Re:im about to buy a starion.
 

i thought about that, but i didnt really need to. seriously, i thought about it. but thats besides the point. why you say that? are starions that bad?

i know i would have to get mpi, new pistons, and get the balanced shafts replaced. also the head will have to go too. but besides that, i feel that a starion is a very respectable project to spank local ricerz.

Re:im about to buy a starion.
 

id drive one, in fact i almost bought one instead of the crx. they can be buiklt up micely and i do like the way they look

Re:im about to buy a starion.
 

yup 200 bucks is a steal huh? the guy definatly knows what he gots, but he just wants to get rid of it.

Re:im about to buy a starion.
 

what year is it? Im trying to sell my 87 right now. if i was gonna build another starion/conquest, i would ditch the 2.6. drop in a 4g63 from a 1g eclipse/talon, they bolt right up to your tranny. the 4g63 is just a better engine.

micely ? ;)

Re:im about to buy a starion.
 

from a first gen eclipse? you serious? even the ones from the fwd versions? but you kinda have to like how when you get like when you get 300 hp, you get 400 lbs of torque. those starions dont need to make allot of power cus they make tons of torque.

Good stuff, have fun man.

Re:im about to buy a starion.
 

yeah. i will. breinging it back from the living dead. o yeah, did i mention that i go to a tech highschool? so anything i need done, ill have it done, free of charge, as long as i provide all the materials. you neame it. new clutch? free. new head? free. you name it, they will most likely do it. albeit you provide the parts. hell, they did a bunch of engine swaps for civics for free.

Re:im about to buy a starion.
 

belive me dude. ditch the 2.6. they are a bitch to build, due to the shitty efi setup. by the time you ditch the efi for a new multi port system you could have just thrown in the 4g63. and yes the fwd/awd motor will work with your tranny and your car will still be rwd. the 4g63 makes just as much power as the 2.6 and its lighter, and better on gas, my 2.6is makeing 300hp and gets 10mpg on the highway, my buddies 4g63 is making over 400hp and he gets about 20 on the highway. if you start building the 2.6 you will be very disapointed. I made the mistake of building the 2.6 and if i had to do it again there would be no way in hell id keep the 2.6. oh and be prepared, the wiring for the 2.6 is a ------- nitemare. save your money and time and drop in a 4g63.

Re:im about to buy a starion.
 

what mounts do you use? to drop in the 4g63 same ones??

Re:im about to buy a starion.
 

Starions are neat, I kinda like the bodykit/looks of the Conquest better tho!!! I ALMOST bought a 1989 Conquest TSi back in 1995 ... i regret not doing it.

Id build up an old school 4g64 or simular brother/sister (like say a 89-91 Hyundai Sonata engine.. which is what I used). Then you'll have a modern MPFI setup AND have 100mm stroke :)

4g64 is what I run in my Talon.

Also dude, the only turbo DSMs (doesnt matter if auto or manual) w/less power are the automatic models. The autos have TD04H.. i forget if its a 13b or 13g now. Also they have 390cc injectors, not the usual 450cc.

Re:im about to buy a starion.
 

gasser, thats the thing about a starion. i dont wanna have it that easy, plus like i said, i wont be installing most of that bullshit, i have my buds in the auto mechanich dept of my school do it. lol.

Re:im about to buy a starion.
 

for mouts you just make adapters to your stock mounts. hella easy if you have a welder, grinder, and drill press. even if you are having someone do the work, your car wont perform nearly as well as a 4g63. Im just telling you what i know. ive owned 2 starions. actually the one i own now is a conquest. the starquest is a great platform but the 4g63 is so much of a better engine. oh and on that tourqu isue. tourqe doesnt get you everything. yes the 2.6 is tourqy but you wont notice any less tourqe out of the 4g63. plus the 4g63 can handle about 500hp on a stock motor. your pushing it with 350hp on a 2.6. Also you say you wanna do the 2.6 cause its not that easy, but dude you just said your gonna have someone do it for you.

Re:im about to buy a starion.
 

Mmmmm, Conquest with some big fatty tires in the back...

yum

Re:im about to buy a starion.
 

DO U NO WERE TO GET INJECTORS FOR THEM CUZ I FOUND ONE FOR 500 BUT NO INJECTORS

Re:im about to buy a starion.
 

is a chrysler laser the same as a starion/conquest? i saw one for sale today for $800 and it looks just like a starion/conquest. it even has a "turbo" badge

Re:im about to buy a starion.
 

it must be a misprint, the laser is the same as a talon. but if it looks like a quest it must be lol. and about the injectors, try to find some from a 86 or 87 rx-7 cause those are 550cc low-impediance.

Re:im about to buy a starion.
 

Conquest=Starion
Talon=Eclipse=Laser, but I think the Laser is FWD only, right?
