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.

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.
