Re: Mitsubishi starion
 

Old VW bug motor is a direct drop in and cheap power adder.

Re: Mitsubishi starion

Re: Mitsubishi starion
 

I love those cars, but aren't they expensive to get power out of?

Re: Mitsubishi starion

Re: Mitsubishi starion
 

if i remember correctly they both had alot of problems. still bad ass cars. remember thye cyclone and typhoon trucks now those were the ----.

Re: Mitsubishi starion
 

put a 4g63 in her, crank the boost, then have fun!!! Until the classic DSM Tranny Gremlins get you!!!!!

Re: Mitsubishi starion
 

2.6 4 cylinder RWD with a tiny ass turbo.

I still love them.

Re: Mitsubishi starion
 

do som eresearch, all turbo rules still apply.

i have seen some quick ones but i have seen more slow ones than fast

Re: Mitsubishi starion
 

Mega Squirt and a big turbo :yThen start looking for a back up tranny as its a Mitsubishi.I love those things but they are hard to find.Another good plan would involve a LS1,big T4 and Ford 9".

Re: Mitsubishi starion
 

actually im going to provide a little bit of input.

the first major thing you should do is rpelace the jet vilve head for one that doesnt use jet valves. replacing the valves or cancling them out does nothing since its the casting thats the problem. once you change the head, you need to start looking at fieling. fueling will be your biggest ocncern as your only runing a dpfi setup. some people dont worry about this and simply make 300 hp and call it a day. i for one would like to have mpfi, so get a manifold made up. other than that, the aitrflow meter is iffy,. but dont worry about it. the thing is, those blocks are amazingly stout, and dont be surised iof you make more torque than hp. i once had a buddy with a "flat sided" starion that made like 250 whp and like 340 some whp tq. it was insane. o well. fix those problems and you will have a nice street machine. also keep everythiong on the body ntact, no bodykits. also their intercoolers are pretty dang good, so an intercooler upgrade isnt really necessary untill you go really insane with the boost.

Re: Mitsubishi starion
 

The 2.6 motor is junk. Weak internals and ---- heads on top of the useless throttlebody injection.
Get a DSM 4g63 instead.

Re: Mitsubishi starion
 

Is the 4g63 just a direct swap in?

Re: Mitsubishi starion
 

These cars were available with 4G63BT in europe, but the block is slightly different from the DSM block apparently. I'm not sure what the difference is but it isn't a big difference. These cars had the same transmission apparently as the 2.6 cars but were just a bit quicker!

Re: Mitsubishi starion
 

if the internales are soo weak than why are they able to run 400+ whp withought modifying them? change out the dpfi and get a new head that doesnt have jet valves and your good to go. get a megasquirt.

Re: Mitsubishi starion
 

well i have been reading about them and i see some crazy swap like 4g63 ,4g64 ,1jz and v8 motor swap in them ... i think imma ditch the 2.6 motor and swap in the 4g63 but i need to know wat do i need to swap the motor anyone ever done 1 ?

Re: Mitsubishi starion
 

Post pics of car please. :y

Re: Mitsubishi starion
 

There is a RWD 4g63 tranny?

Re: Mitsubishi starion
 

i might be picking one up soon. and why dont you just use the caravan head with the turbo parts. or be the first to swap in a honda motor http://www.g-forcetransmissions.com/tran_gf5r-rev.asp if i was to do a swap i would go v8 if not just fix the problems that the stock motor has and get a bigger turbo

Re: Mitsubishi starion
 

why would you swap in a 4g63? i would leave the 2.6 liter lump in there man. just get a new head casting, and switch over to dpfi and youll be straight. o and the 4g63 engine boltrs to the starion tranny just fine.
