    Dont Call it a Build Thread

    on gen 1 motors i have found the 5.9 cummins from a dodge fits bolt in. did gen2 use the same alt? the oem is mitsu and parts are painfully expensive. the dodge is denso and the opposite holds true, and its 120a.

    very simple rigs. sturdy assemblies, the engines are simplicity defined. the cat converter likely will need replacement or , ahem, cleaning out. replace the pipe from water pump to the rear of the engine 68 dollars at dealer. rubber on mitsus is very sturdy. oil cam seals on the back of the...

    Junkyard Horsepower

    all of what you are saying is accurate in my experience. the mitsy bottom end should be stout enough for mild boost in a heavy rig. m squirt has a huge mitsu following in the forums. there are maps and dedicated forums everywhere. especially for the older stuff. where will you have room under...

    The Dog Gen1 Build

    mitsu delivered a pretty stout platform from its factories.you wont have to do much to improve it. the tick /knock can be anything. a careful diagnosis is first. go back over your previous efforts look at everything: look again. listen. check your timing belt is still clocking the cams...
