http://texarkana.craigslist.org/cto/802673198.html my question is is this car to much of a pain in the ass/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

Re: starion
 

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

yeah what he said.

DEAR MR LAVAY.

Re: starion

Re: starion
 

1jz/2jz/v8 swap.

Re: starion
 

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

+10

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.

Re: starion
 

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.

Re: starion
 

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.
