Is that for sale ?

 

I think so. The owner transferred his tags to another car. The rear main seal was replaced, and a week later the car shredded its flex plate (it's an automatic). So the owner is trying to get the money back out of it from the rear main seal replacement. $300 is the highest offer so far. It runs, but doesn't drive. The rings are gone. The interior sux (so what). This is the perfect 4g63 swap candidate (because the turbo cars didn't come in this color). I've always wanted to get one of these and convert it to AWD/Turbo like the JDM Syborg. I only know of 2 people that have done that in the whole US, but you'd need a whole AWD '91 T/E/L donor car to do it.

2gr84u: If you're going Honda, and you're sitting a D16, do something original, do it right. Replace the rods and pistons with aftermarket forged stuff, and then turbo it. You'll get much more fun and reliability out of it than if you didn't. Too many D16 owners have to settle for 6 PSI, and I'm sure the motor has more RELIABLE potential if the bottom end is built for it.

 

you lost me there

 

Not a big deal, really. No way I'd leave an automatic in there after removing the old worn-out 4g15. The tranny would have to be replaced anyway if it gets a turbo swap... You can buy that whole engine/tranny setup complete sometimes for less than $800.

 

thats cool

 

So... uhh... what kind of car is that, anyway?

David:
Step 1: Fix car.
Step 2: Worry about modifying it after you can actually drive it.

 

do some research..jesus christ. www.turbod16.com in the faq and other places will explain all of your questions and then some.

 

That's a '91 Mitsubishi Mirage. It's the exact same thing as a Dodge Colt, a Plymouth Champ, or a Hyundai Excel. They all use a 4g15 engine except for a RARE select few who have a 165hp turbocharged 4g61 engine (1.6L DOHC), those ran mid-15's from the factory because they weigh 2000lbs.. A 6-bolt turbo DSM drivetrain bolts right into it because all the 4g series engines from the same year have the same motor mounts. That includes the 210hp/209tq 4g63's. You can build a Viper killer for under $2500.

Man, I'm so tempted.
