Hello all, I am steveracer and very familiar with old Mitsubishi/Fire Arrows but new to the fourm.

I have a super clean car in my garage with the cage completed that is going to be prepped for historic or Group 2 or 5 rally here in the USA.

I own "too many" cars, the 1980 Arrow, 1993 Miata (CTS Pearl White, suspension, wheels/tires), 2006 Audi A3, 1999 GMC Sierra, and my wife has a 2002 Audi A4. Oh, and the trailer plus my bikes....

Anywhoo, I am going to use this forum to learn a few things about 2.6 liter and possibly and most likely, a Starion turbo swap into the car. I have rallied this car back in the day, basically like a group N spec, and it is cool to have a car that a lot of people remember, but don't see anymore.

So I will do my searching and look forward to meeting you guys and gals here in discussion.

My first question....where to post on the Celeste/Fire Arrow?

This 89 newyorker runs fine but uses allote of oil. I pulled off the intake and theres pools off oil on top of the engine under the water pump shaft that runs center the length of the block.. It doesn't "look" like its coming from the heads... Any ideas on were the oil is coming from?

Mitsubishi's next generation EVO will be a plug-in hybrid. Yup, according to a recent report by Motor Trend, a source inside the company has confirmed the rumors that the EVO XI is going green.

This news will most likely have EVO enthusiasts about ready to jump ship to Subaru, but worry not says the report, Mitsubishi isn't building a Prius. The EVO XI will ride on the same AWD platform as the Concept PX-MiEV (above) – itself a plug-in hybrid. A 2.0-liter MIVEC engine from the current Japan-spec Galant will be used, along with lithium-ion batteries and an electric motor donated from the dorky-looking i-MiEV electric city car.

Interestingly, the main power source will be the electric motor, driving the front wheels for optimum fuel economy. When required, the gasoline engine will kick in to power the rear. The electric motor is expected to be a more powerful version of the i-MiEV's, which already makes 63-hp. As for the gasoline engine, it should pump out roughly 320-hp, a 29-hp improvement over the current EVO. In total this could mean as much as 350-hp. Mitsubishi engineers have apparently targeted a time of 4.5 seconds to 60 mph as their goal.

In addition, the Motor Trend reports suggest added handling capabilities will help to win over enthusiasts. Expected to be included on the EVO XI are Active Steering and a Roll Control Suspension, as well as a new electronically controlled active yaw control system (E-AYC).

The biggest problem Mitsubishi engineers face is the added weight of the electrical components, especially after the EVO X already gained 250-lbs on the previous generation model.

Mitsubishi has announced that it will officially introduce an all new compact crossover at the Geneva Auto Show. Called the ASX for the European market, it will be sold as the RVR in Japan and is expected to be offered in North America in late 2010 as a 2011 model, slotting just below the recently redesigned Outlander.

Like the Outlander, the ASX is based on the Lancer's platform, but with the Outlander always being big for its class, Mitsu is now referring to it as a mid-size crossover. The ASX will now fill a spot in the compact crossover segment – which continues to grow.

In Europe it will be sold with a turbocharged 1.8-liter diesel engine. It is expected to be powered by a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter 4-cylinder when it debuts in North America.

As for the design of the compact crossover, we have to say it is very much in keeping with the Concept xC that Mitsubishi first showed at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 2007.

One of the few remaining Japanese automakers without a hybrid vehicle in its lineup, Mitsubishi brought its new Concept PX-MiEV to the LA Auto Show to let Californians know that it too has the capability and is considering its options. First unveiled at the Tokyo Auto Show the PX-MiEV name combines the automakers "MiEV" nomenclature, which stands for Mitsubishi innovative Electric Vehicle, with a new "PX" designation, which stands for Plug-in Hybrid Crossover.

As a full plug-in hybrid, the Concept PX-MiEV can operate using either the 1.6-liter 4-cylinder gasoline engine, the electric motor, or both. On pure electric power it can travel up to 30 miles. Mitsubishi rates that crossover at an impressive 117.6 mpg!

In EV mode the vehicle uses just electric power for the short 30 mile distance. When the batteries are depleted, the gasoline engine then kicks in to recharge the batteries and power the electric motor (much like on the Chevy Volt). At higher speeds, the gasoline engine takes over completely. In addition, the PX-MiEV features the company's S-AWC and E-AYC all-wheel drive systems, along with a new center differential electric motor that works to send power to the rear wheels. All these technologies are part of what Mitsubishi calls E-4WD, which uses electric rather than mechanical systems to optimize grip.

Other highlights include an air-ride suspension with three height settings and an innovative driver alert system that uses a camera to monitor the driver's eyes to see if he or she isn't paying attention to the road.

The concept seems to suggest that Mitsu is considering introducing a hybrid crossover in the near future, but recent reports have pointed towards a hybridized version of the next generation Lancer Evolution.

Mitsubishi EVO powered Formula car Interesting concept.

Just last week Mitsubishi announced that it is planning to bring over a smaller Lancer-based crossover to North America and now comes word that the Japanese automaker has yet another new model to debut shortly thereafter. Based on a new global small car platform the car will be smaller than the Colt (shown above), which is currently on sale in both Japan and Europe. Fuel-economy for this new model is important and the engine size could be as large as 1.3-liters or as small as just 1.0-liters. It is not clear if this new model will replace the current Colt (which is in the same class as the Toyota Yaris, Hyundai Accent and Honda Fit) or if it will be more of a mini-car.

This new platform will also spawn an electric car and a plug-in hybrid. Mitsubishi is planning to bring one of the two green options to North America but has not yet decided which one.

Having suffered significantly in the recent recession, Mitsubishi is examining where it stands as a manufacturer and is aiming to grow its business in North America by offering extremely fuel-efficient models.

The company is also examining it's U.S. dealer network and is looking to cut some loose while signing up others (in prime locations) that were let go by Chrysler and General Motors.

When concept cars look this road-ready, you can be sure an automaker isn't just interested in design for design's sake. Called the Concept PX-MiEV, Mitsubishi will unveil this hybrid crossover concept at the Tokyo Auto Show next month.

The vehicle's name combines the automakers “MiEV” nomenclature, which stands for Mitsubishi innovative Electric Vehicle, with a new “PX” designation, which stands for Plug-in Hybrid Crossover.

As a full plug-in hybrid, the Concept PX-MiEV can operate using either the 1.6-liter 4-cylinder gasoline engine, the electric motor, or both. On pure electric power it can travel up to 30 miles. Mitsubishi rates that crossover at an impressive 117.6 mpg!

If you though Mitsubishi’s i-MiEV electric city car was both silly looking and impractical, perhaps the i-MiEV Cargo is more up your alley? Or perhaps not. With significantly more usable space, along with an even more ridiculous shape, the Cargo model is a concept that Mitsubishi is exploring for eventual production. The i-MiEV on which it’s based has already been given the green light with sales starting in Japan in April of 2010.

Designed more for urban transportation of goods than hauling hay, the tiny i-MiEV CARGO actually boasts a serious amount of cargo room, with the rear cargo space measuring 1,350 mm wide by 1,180 mm high and 1,100 mm high. That equates to 1,742.3 liters or 61.9 cubic feet of space.

The i-MiEV Cargo has a range of roughly 100 miles on a charge and makes 63hp and 133 ft-lbs of torque.

The i-MiEV Cargo will officially be unveiled at the Tokyo Auto Show on October 21st.

Does anyone know about mitsubishi Truck FE 447/443 ? and where can I get the manual service link ? (download)

Thanks,

Basically, I spent a lot of time and money building up a 1g 4g63t for a project last year... I was planning on putting it into a 1993 Hyundai Excel as a sleeper. I have since decided against finishing said project...

HOWEVER. I have a motor sitting in my buddy's garage with near $8000 invested in it, and no potential buyers for it at all yet.


I might as well use it, right?

It's from a 91 Talon. I was looking into putting it into a 95-99 Eclipse, but after doing a bit of google research, it looks like it would take waaay too much effort to get it in there.

I'm basically wondering what cars of what years this motor will all fit into with no more effort than just putting it back into the same year talon it came from.

I need all-wheel drive; that's basically the only other criteria.


I've considered maybe a 93-94 talon... and also considered older galants and lancer/evo's... can anybody give me any more information, or at least point me in the right direction.


I want something decently nice, and I want it to be as straightforward of a swap as I can essentially get. Thanks in advance.

alright
well ive just gotten the fuel pump replaced in my 87 conquest tsi it ran fine for about 15 mins
then it started bogging and sputtering
i can rev it while not moving to any Rpm it will be fine
but when im moving as soon as the boost kicks in at about 7 to 9 psi my car will sputter and bog down
it also sputters and bogs sometimes when its at a low boost and rpm but will go away if shut off then turned back on
i can feather the gas and slowly move up in rpms while the boost is at a low psi perfectly fine but as soon as the boost really kicks in my car sputters bogs and almost dies
any ideas ?
ive reasearched a little bit
im hoping it may be the fuel pump
or sparks plugs and wires
i would greatly appreciate any help tho

I just bought a used 1995 intercooler shogun 2800 cc Pajero. Desperately need a user manual can anybody help

Back in 87 I seriously considered a Mitsu Van. I ended up buying an SPX pickup but I've always liked that van. Anybody here ever own one?

Lately, every time I get in my 2001 diamante, I have to enter the code into the radio. I checked the fuses under the dash and under the hood. Is there some fuse box I'm missing?

Hi all
I am a total newbie, and totally ignorant please help!
My husband and I (it's his car really but he doesn't use the computer) purchased a Mitsubushi Space Wagon 7 seater yesterday from a local dealer for £995 (reputable main road one not a back street one).
When we went to view it he mentioned it had an immobiliser (we have never had a car with an immobiliser before as our previous cars have all one very old ones) and had no idea how they worked. He said to get the car to start we needed to put the ignition key in turn it on (nothing happens) and then take it out and then lock and unlock the car doors..and re insert the ignition key..he did this on 3 separate occasions and and the car started ok so we had no reason to doubt that this was the way to deactivate the immobiliser (remember we have never had an immobiliser!)
We paid for the car and took it home yesterday. when we parked up at the supermarket and returned to start the car we did as he had said and nothing happened. We had to play around locking and unlocking the doors a number of times to get the car to start.
This then happened a few times each time we stopped and needed to restart the car. Very frustrating...
I rang the dealer when I got home and he said that there was not a problems as "it had worked everytime he had done it"
I then researched on the internet and found that the car should start just with the key which sends a signal to the car and the locking and unlocking is not a part of the procedure..there is obviously a fault with the key or car!
I rang our local Mitsubushi dealer and the technician was not there and I was told to ring back Monday. However the person who answered said that it should be possible to obtain a new key although it would be quite expensive and we would have to book the car in.
Has anyone any thoughts or comments on this please?
Thanks Lindy xx

Hi all!

Hi all,

I have recently bought my first FTO, the lad first said it was a GR model but then when i picked the car up he said it was a GX model, i would be very grateful if anyone could tell me if there is any way of finding out exactly what model my fto is, i.e. from the vin number or something, any help/info would be great.

Thanks
Dan.

I have a 1999 Lancer VRX and want to put an evo 6 front strut brace one it. I was wondering if anyone knows where the brace bolts on to firewall.

Thanks

Hi all,
can anyone tell me where I can get a thermosesnor for a Magna '96 Executive ? I'm in Western Sydney. Yellow pages hasn't really helped me. Appreciate any help.

A friend is swapping the engine in my wife's van. It's a mitsubishi 6G72 3.0 liter. Were there different configurations of cooling ports in the heads that make some heads incompatible with some blocks? If anybody has any insight about this, I sure would appreciate it. Thanks!!

I'm new to this forum, so I'm hoping someone out there can give me some info on what's going on. My Galant has been having intermittent problems while driving, almost like the transmission slipping. I thought it might be vapor lock at first, so I used dry gas. Same prob. Then I had the tranny fluid changed. Same prob. I noticed that the service light had turned on. When I went to the service sta. the guy told me that it was the Cam Shaft Position Sensor and that it helps regulate the gas/air mix, and that's most likely the prob. Does this sound accurate? thanks for any info you can offer.

Hey guys,

Anyone knows where I can get an Electronic Parts Catalogue for Mitsubishi Worldwide?

Hello all, two questions from a new member. I have just purchased a 2000 mk3 spacewagon and I wonder if you could answer a couple of questions.
firstly the stereo is a model : 9181 it appears that all the controls are on the stereo for a cd changer however I cannot find it ! could someone tell me where it should be and if there is not one what the options are for fitting one, will an aftermarket cd changer fit etc.
secondly when my wife returned to the car after leaving it for a few moments engine running radio on, the stereo was off and completly locked and the word "lock" was displayed on the lcd on the dash, the children swear they never touched the stereo it just stoped. My wife says she pressed all the buttons and it started working again....any ideas

Thanks for reading and hopefully responding

Regards mark

Hi,

I would like to install a hitch on my 04 Outlander for my bike rack. The problem I am having is that the hitches I am coming across are 1 1/4 inch. My bike rack is 2 inch. I know I could just purchase a converter, but this thing sits so far off the back as it is, that I don't want anything to to extend it any further. Does anybody know if there is a 2" hitch available for the 04 Outlander?

Thanks,
Rich

I have a 2001 Montero Sport w/ Infinity Sound system.

Was listening to radio on the way to work. 8 hours later started up the MS and no sound....radio or cd. Head unit has power, all fuses OK...just can't figure out what's up. I wanted to replace the factory head unit (due to their quality), so I dropped in a JVC unit and made sure all connections were correct. Still no sound after (again) checking all the fuses. I think it’s the amp fuse. Does anyone have an idea where the fuse is located? Has anyone seen these Infinity amps just die? Any suggestions on how to get at the amp or should I just bypass the thing and install another amp?

Thanks for any advice. No sound while driving is making me nuts.

Hi, well my mirage was once my parents and now mine.

Anyways, for a couple months now we've been having troubles with the gauge cluster. It only works in the morning, and for only a half an hour at that, then everything, the speedometer, the gas gauge, all of the gauges, they will not work. I've been looking around the net for some parts that I could possibly replace, and I'm just looking for some stock parts for it, nothing fancy, but I can't. I've also looked around to see that alot of people with the same make have been having the same trouble, but haven't really seen any answers about it. Anyone have a clue on what's up?

I found a nice picture of a new Mitsubishi concept car, you should check it out .

Hey guys how you all going? I have a 94 Magna SE Wagon, but have a few problems im hoping to get answers to... after i start the car (cold start) its fine but when it warms up at idling temp if thats the right term to use the needle on the tacho will move up n down slightly then feel like its about to stall and in most cases it does.. goes to about 500RPM then then tries to stall... the only thing i can do to keep it going is VERY lightly touch the Accelerater to keep the revs up a bit.... only happens when its warmed up though... and secondly nothing major, but from a cold start it very rarely smokes from the exaust but for eg. when stopped at traffic light and i suddenly accelerate after the green, one puff of white smoke comes from the exaust, only one puff and this only happens on odd rare occasions... id appreciate any help... thanx guys....

Hi All,
Can anyone help me with my engine specs please. I have a 1995 Pajero ECI Multi V6 3000. I have been told it has a "Triton/L200" motor in it.
When I look at the manufacturers plate under the bonnet there is Mod: AGBJX4601 stamped on it. The only other markings are the Chassis and Trim numbers. I am in South Africa so I do not know whether this will make a difference to the type of engine.

This is the nice 1, You can see the engine was pop up the bonnet cover,

My wife bought a shogun pinin in 2004. within a year we had a new gear box and since then we have had numerous problems. In sept 2005 the 1st front exhaust pipe blew a hole and 15 months, 7 exhausts and an engine mount later we still have a problem !!!!
I have emailed the Managing Director of Mitsubishi UK and they took the car away for a month and have come back to stay that the exhaust system was mis aligned and the catalytic converter was an inch lower than it should be and putting pressure on the front down pipe........can anybody help please as i feel that I am being fobbed off as it had been back to the mitsubishi garage 7 times over 15 months- surely this could have been diagnosed earlier if that simple.....does anybody have any advice or know of any other pinin exhaust system problems?
thankyou
