Hey guys,
I know some cars more ones full of computers cost a S##t load to modify.
My question really should I guess be in the Galant section. But not to sure.
If I was to get say one of these types of galants.

My previous 1994 1.8v6 16 valve galant. Just I am thinking of getting another one. A 1994-1995 galant 2.0v6 24 valve. And I am hoping to even be able to get a mivec one. But not been able to find on in NZ.
Now my question is if I wanted to take I think it has a 150hp stock standard or close to that, and up the hp. How can I go about it with out much computer problems and fairly cheap?
Sorry if I am a bit confusing. Had a few drinks.
Cheers,
mac

After Japanese Mitsubishi-tuner Ralliart announced early this morning that it would shut its doors for good, Mitsubishi wants to clarify that the closure will not affect Ralliart branded Mitsubishi models sold in the United States. According to PR boss Maurice Durand, Ralliart vehicles will continue to be produced and, "this doesn't mean there won't be any future Ralliart vehicles either."
The reason that the closure won't have much of an affect, is that the closure only relates to the Ralliart subsidiary in Japan, which produces high-performance parts for street and race cars. In other markets where Mitsubishi licenses the Ralliart name to different companies, only those companies that import official Ralliart Japan products will be affected. According to Durand, in most markets the Ralliart parts are actually re-branded parts from another tuner (like HKS).
The parts used on official Ralliart models sold in the U.S. are developed seperately and so will not be affected.
"While the demise is sad," says Durand, "this is a part of the economic reality. There just isn't much of a market for elite high-performance products, especially in Japan right now."

Mitsubishi-tuner Ralliart has announced that as of April 1st it will close its doors, effectively ceasing operations. In a statement released on the Ralliart website, company President Masao Taguchi blamed the recent economic downturn.
"Because of the sudden change of economy situation since the year before last, the business circumstance surrounding our company radically became worse and so, this time we have reached the conclusion that we Ralliart Inc., would scale down our business activities as of the end of March 2010. Along with the scale down of our business activities this time, we would cease the following business and operation which we have done so far. We would like to express our sincere apology to all of customers though we would make you much inconveniences."
Ralliart's shut down will mean that the tuner, so closely associated with Mitsubishi, and which currently works with Mitsubishi to produce several Ralliart models, will cases supporting its motorsports customers, stop development of new products and terminate communications of new products and news via its website. It is not clear if Mitsubishi will no longer offer Ralliart models or if the Japanese automaker intends to continue Ralliart products as part of a new internal part of the company.
Say it ain't so.

My girlfriend wants to get a 2003 Lancer OZ Rally with 130k miles on it. $3800 OBO(painted pink, includes rims and aftermarket stereo) but I'm sure it could go down a bit. I just need to know generally how long these should last, given that they get their regular oil changes and what not.
I have a 2009 Lancer GTS, so I haven't ran it into the ground yet to see how long it can survive.
Here is a pic of the car:

Hey.
I know in order to get your HP/TQ at the wheel you need a Dyno (or maybe there are other ways of doing it as well).
Just wondering if there is a "home" method to measure the HP/TQ at the crank.
Or is there something that's inexpensive (or much less expensive than a Dyno) to get in order to do that.
It would be nice to be able to measure that stuff in my garage, so that if I do anything to the car I can at least see right away if it helped.
Any other ideas? Share

Mitsubishi aims to double its sales in the U.S. in the next three years, says Mitsubishi North America Executive VP John Koenig. Last year the Japanese automaker sold just 53,986 vehicles in the U.S., down alarmingly by 44.5 percent compared to 2008. While the recession did hurt the automaker considerably, Koenig believes that much of the loss can be attributed to a heavy focus on fleet sales and a perceived brand instability, with reports that the company would pull out of the U.S. market.
Mitsubishi isn't just hoping either, but has put together an extensive plan for the brand, which started by redesigning vehicles to look more like the stylish Lancer and continues with the launch of the new 2010 Outlander.
The next step, while still unconfirmed by Mitsubishi, will include the introduction of two new models to the marketplace, a smaller crossover (aimed at the likes of the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4) as well as a new subcompact model to slot in underneath the Lancer. The compact crossover market has grown considerably over the past few years and Mitsubishi's Outlander grew in size during that time, leading compact CUV buyers to look elsewhere. A sporty new crossover like the ASX (also called the RNR), which is headed to its debut at the Geneva Auto Show in March, is just what the automaker needs. Mitsu has also targeted the emerging sub-compact market, with rumors that the Colt will return to take on the likes of the Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris, as well as newcomers like the Ford Fiesta and Mazda2.
A mini-car called the iMiEV is also set for the U.S. market, with Mitsubishi still deciding on if it will offer both a gasoline and electric version. Sales of this model, however, aren't expected to be significant.
One area where Mitsu also needs to improve is with the Galant mid-size sedan, which is in desperate need of replacement. Koenig admits that one reason for a decline in Galant sales is a reduction in demand by rental car agencies – a strong sign that the car isn't popular with consumers.
Mitsubishi's plan isn't as optimistic as it sounds and might just be an easily achievable goal, as with a lineup similar to the current one, Mitsu sold 128,993 units in 2007. And while the automaker has continued to slide in recent years back in 2002 it managed to move a significant 345,111 models
Along with a new list of products Mitsubishi is also looking to get more heavily involved in advertising and has already purchased numerous spots on network TV. Mitsubishi's public relations head Maurice Durand commented that when it comes to the high-volume models like the Outlander and Lancer, "We have to work hard to enhance their perception and desirability."

Hi
Whilst browsing (and much looking) I found a Russian website with an online version of "what Mitsubishi has in their service centres".
The database contains many cars... and you can click further down into models, year, parts, exploded diagrams etc..
The database also includes the original Mitsu p/n + description (English) ...AND most parts (when clicked) link to a price in euros website.
This database looks very very very similar to what I was looking at recently inside the Mitsu service centre with the technician, when we were trying to identify the correct part.
The link is....
http://www.akadia.ru/_pages/mitsubishi/ind...TUyLmpwZw%3D%3DNow I don't know if "you" already know about this place and this database, BUT I just wanted to share this info. It has helped me many times identify a part before ordering the right part,..and get an idea of the part price.
Cheers
Phil

Ive looked everywhere online and I just cant seem to find it...Can anyone help me out and refer me to a legit site that might have the part? It's the driver side mirror, it is electric but not heated and the color is silver. Thank you !

Hi,
I have a Magna, 2000 Executive V6 (automatic).
I can start the car but it doesn't shift into gear at all. It also makes a rattling sound when you start it.
Does anybody know if this would be a gearbox issue and if it needs to be replaced?
Thanks

Europe's second largest automaker, French company PSA Peugeot Citroen, is considering purchasing Japanese automaker Mitsubishi Motors. News of the possible purchase comes from Nikkei English News, and had Mitsubishi's shares up 13.4 percent in overseas trading.
A similar report in Bloomberg BusinessWeek reports that Peugeot would take a 53 percent stake in Mitsubishi Motors worth about $3.8 billion, with Mitsu taking a reverse 18 percent stake in the French automaker. This business sharing platform wold be similar to the one that Nissan and Renault engaged in roughly a decade ago when the French automaker bought the then-struggling Nissan.
The combined sales tallies of both companies in 2008 totaled 4.45 million vehicles, which would make any new company the sixth largest automaker in the world.
Some are skeptical of just what Peugeot sees in Mitsubishi, but there are many reasons to suggest why Peugeot is interested. For starters, Mitsubishi certainly has greater expertise in SUVs and crossovers – like the new Outlander GT (pictured above). Next up, this year Mitsubishi became the first automaker in the world to begin sales of an electric car, the iMiEV, and Peugeot is certainly keen on EV technology. Also, the added production output of more electric cars would make for bigger discounts.
Skeptics argue that the biggest problem with the merger is that while Mitsubishi does have a foothold in certain market's that are foreign to the French automaker, Mitsu's impact in those markets (like in Noth America) is insignificant. However, a brand like Mitsubishi does have a strong cult-like following, especially amongst performance car nuts, and would be much easier to build on than introducing a French brand.
The more realistic roadblock, however, is likely to be Peugeot's limited resources having suffered significantly during the recent economic downturn.
The BusinessWeek report does suggest that the talks are ongoing and that a decision could be announced by as early as January.

When looking at car parts, I often see parts described at Stage 1, Stage 2, etc. They are usually describing cam shafts, clutches, turbos, and all that kind of stuff. What are these "stages" and what do they mean? Thanks.

Purchased a 2009 Lancer ES Sport Manual. It has the "feature" that prevents it's owner from locking their keys within their car which is all fine and good... but... What about those that want to run out to their vehicle, and start it to warm it up while they finish getting ready for work? No way to lock the vehicle with the car running and keys outside?..
(no I cannot currently afford the remote start)
Is there a way to disable the lock out prevention feature?..
I also notice that if the key is not within the car and the car is running the vehicle can be driven off without the key!.. (weird).. So this is obviously not an option.. I have to find a way to lock the doors while my vehicle is warming up outside of my house while parked on the street..
Thanks in advance for any help you all can provide!
*I am new to the boards and I have attempted numerous searches for this, I appologize in advance if I missed the answer to this question somewhere..

Held each year in Las Vegas, Nevada, the SEMA Show is an industry event for the Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association.Tuners and parts suppliers from across the industry and even from the realm of motorsports come to show off their wares, usually displayed on some sort of eye-catching highly-modified vehicle - be it a muscle car, hot rod or sport compact car.
And let's not forget the increasing presence of mainstream manufacturers like Hyundai, Scion, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, Cadillac, Chrysler and Dodge. Major areas of interest at SEMA include Racing and Performance, Wheels and Tires, as well as Trucks, SUVs and Off-Road vehicles.

As Japan's largest auto show, the Tokyo Motor Show will be somewhat smaller for 2009 than in years past as no foreign automakers will be displaying or announcing new products. Still, the show will hardly be empty with Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru and Suzuki all taking advantage of the more centralized focus on the Japanese auto industry, with most of the automakers introducing numerous new production and concept cars.
Some of the most highly anticipated launches include the Lexus LF-A, Honda CR-Z, Subaru Hybrid Tourer Concept, Mitsubishi Concept PX-MiEV, Mazda Kiyora Concept and the joint Toyota-Subaru project the FT-86 Concept. We'll bring constant updates will official unveilings happening on October 21st.

I think I have identified something a bit unique about the 3.0 engines. I have two Dodge Caravans with 3.0 engines that have the same symptom, namely, that their oil pressure is great EXCEPT when they are hot AND under load, whereupon the oil pressure suddenly crashes. I can hear some rod bearing noise in one of the engines. Adding oil thickeners reduces this effect.
What I think is happening is that worn rod bearings pump oil out of them when under load in what bearing designers call "side flow pumping", but when there is little load, they run on the oil within them without pumping much. As they wear more, they pump more under load, sucking more oil from the crank. Then comes a moment in time when the pumping rate just barely exceeds the output from the oil pump, whereupon the pressure suddenly crashes to nil when the engine's demand exceeds the pump's output.
So what's different about 3.0 engines in this regard? I don't know, but likely culprits include:
1. A wimpy oil pump. Are higher output oil pumps available?
2. Excessively large oil feed holes in the rod bearings, allowing them to completely hog the oil supply.
I haven't torn into these engines yet, so I thought that perhaps someone here who has worked on these engines might have some reflection as to what to do. I suspect that just changing the rod bearings may fix these two engines.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

While I was draining the coolant from block the other day I noticed a small amount of rust flaking around the outside rim of one of the freeze plugs. Not the plug itself, but the crankcase. Looks like only on the bottom of the plug since it's foreseeable water could sit there. I'm wondering if I should be concerned or even bother to remedy this. Any thoughts?
Thanks

I am thinking of buying a OBD-II scanner or code reader.
Read some reviews about scanners which are not compatible with certain makes and models. So anybody can recommend one which is suitable for Mitsubishi Outlander 2004. Preferably it should be compatible with other Japanese makes, as I may switch over other brands in the future.

In a brief statement, Chrysler has announced that the Global Engine Manufacturing Alliance (GEMA) is now entirely owned by the U.S. automaker, with both former partners, Mitsubishi and Hyundai, having sold their parts of the company.
This may sound like a dull bit of business news, but it could most certainly have a big impact on some of the coolest engines on the planet. Sure, the engines that originated from GEMA have found there way into less exciting vehicles like the Chrysler Sebring, but the same engines have also been the backbone of cars like the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution (pictured above) and Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.oT. The high-powered Caliber SRT4 also used a version of a GEMA engine.
Three basic engines have come out of GEMA with displacements of 1.8, 2.0 and 2.4-liters, many of which were fitted with turbochargers and superchargers to make as much as 300hp.
There is no word if the end of the GEMA partnership could affect future Hyundai and Mitsubishi powertrain developments, but you can be sure the decision had a lot to do with Chrysler's new Fiat ownership.

So i have been trying to find Plasti Dip in Canada for the last 2 weeks after joining the forums to black out the front of my lancer, but everywhere i went, they dont have it in stock.
I looked on a couple of sites including plasti dips, and they want $30 for it. From what i understand plasti dip is less then $10 in the states.
Is there an alternitive i could use that works just as effectivley as plasti dip, that i can buy at any local store in canada (Manitoba).

Hello everyone!
Ok, I'm still pretty new to all this, and my Triton has thrown me problems after problems. Now, the first issue I had with the car was that a day after I bought it, the battery ran flat and the car would no longer start. After jump starting it with cables and driving it around for a while, it would still not start afterwards. It was a pretty old battery, and the RAC guy said that the battery probably was not holding charge. I bought a new battery from Kmart and I've been using it for about 3, maybe even 4 weeks now. I noticed today when I went to start the car that the starter turned rather slowly, but the engine still fired up.
I didn't drive it for long - probably about 10-15 minutes. I have a voltmeter/multimeter and I decided to read up on the Internet how to check the alternator and battery. I set the voltmeter to DC settings (20) and put the negative prong onto the negative battery terminal, and the positive prong onto the positive battery terminal. Here are my readings:
Engine off: 12.03
Engine on: 11.86
Now, I'm not very experienced with anything like this, so I'm not even sure if I have tested anything properly. Do these results suggest that my alternator is faulty and needs replacing? Or did I do the test wrong? Or is everything fine, and I'm just worried over nothing?
I'm also sorry if I've posted this in the wrong section - I would have put it in the Triton/L200/Mighty Max boards, but since it's a somewhat generic issue I thought this would be a better place.
Thanks!

I have a 1987 Montero with feed back carb and live in So Cal. The car needs a high altitude compensator as back then a carb wasn't built to work every where and it lives at 6000 feet. I would like to retrofit a later Mitsubishi system to the 2.6 engine that might be an easy clean fit. Does anyone have any insight as to what may work well? I saw a web post on a refit from a Magna TR-TS system that looked pretty clean. Thanks in advance
Bill

I had someone at work who moonlights as an auto mechanic suggest this solution when I talked to him about all the people needing radio codes when they had to change their battery.
He said he uses one of those cigarette lighter emergency starting batteries to keep systems alive when changing the main battery in cars he works on like ours.
I thought that was a really good obvious idea many may not have thought about. He did warn though that you need to make very sure you don't short the main positive battery cable to ground while the backup is hooked up.
Hope that helps save somebody from the radio/computer/etc reset problems when working on your "Mit" .

hi, im new to this forum. me and my dad race speedway and a while ago dreampt up an idea of a hyundai excel with a ford windsor engine but the rules say no v8's in 4 cylinder cars and also the make has to be the same so we had a look around and we are lead to believe that a hyundai sonata had a mitsubishi v6 engine so we are going to stick with the mitsubishi's. we are also going to make it rear wheel drive and set the motor back for handeling reasons so we can chop firewall if we have to. we also have a motec computer system from another project if needed. was just wandering what sort of v6 would be best?????
thanks michael.

Hello,
I am a bit confused regarding mitsubishi engines.
I have a 97 triton with a 4g64 and the exhaust manifold is on the drivers side and the intake on the passenger side.
Yet I am looking at buying a replacement engine from an outlander and the exhaust is the other way around.
I have also been looking at other mits engines on ebay and some have the exhaust on the left and others have it on the right?
Can anyone shed any light on this? As I have seen 2 lancer motos that have the manifolds on compleatly opposite sides?
Can the heads simply be turned around?
Thanks
Vince DeStefano

I've read several topics on here regarding oxidation removal, and everyone's talking about waxes. I looked up what wax is, and I see that it's just a liquid that you apply on the car- but how does that help for oxidation removal?
Does it work like a sort of Goo-Gone, making it very easy to scratch the white oxidation off of my car? Or does it somehow make it magically disappear/dissolve?
I apologize if it's been discussed before. It's just still unclear to me.

The next generation Mitsubisi Outlander is due out soon and you can be sure it will look a lot like the Outlander GT Prototype that the Japanese automaker will debut at the New York Auto Show next week.
Mitsubishi has just released three teaser images of the crossover concept and while it doesn't give the whole picture, it might as well. The "jet fighter" front end is taken directly from the Lancer Evolution and gives the crossover an aggressive style far ahead of other SUVs in its class.
The Outlander GT Prototype will showcase several new technologies that are expected to make it into the production version. An Idle Neutral Logic system is one of these advances, working to shift the transmission into Neutral when the vehicle comes to a stop to help preserve fuel. The car will also feature a Super-All-Wheel-Control System as well as a more powerful 3.0-liter SOHC MIVEC V6 powerplant.
We'll be sure to bring you more info with live coverage from the New York Auto Show beginning April 8th. The Outlander GT Prototype will debut April 9th.

Oddly, it seems as though Saturn is far more interesting and far more loved as the up-for auction arm of a doomed for bankruptcy company than it ever was as a regular old car brand. To date the Penske Automotive Group, automaker Nissan/Renault and investment firm Telesto Ventures have all been cited as potential buyers. Now we can add Mitsubishi to that list.
According to a report in the Detroit News the Japanese automaker is in talks with GM to supply its vehicles to the existing Saturn dealership network. The move would see Mitsu expand its number of dealerships in the U.S. by 380 - up from the current 430 dealerships.
The move seems unlikely as Mitsubishi is suffering in the current economic downturn. In April the company sold just 3,919 vehicle in the U.S., down 55.9 percent from the same month in 2008.
Mitsubishi is, however, eager to gain a larger percentage of the U.S. market and until recently was even engaged in talks with Chrysler to bring a small electric car called the Peapod Mobility to the U.S.
The company does appear to be beefing up it's product line and rebranding its existing products. Company representatives have made it clear that the i MiEV electric micro-car (pictured above) will come to North America and a coupe version of the car has been explored in concept form. Additionally, Mitsu recently launched the Sportback version of the Lancer. As far as rebranding, the company is finally picking up on the success of the Lancer and Evo models and is giving that look to the rest of its line. We've already seen it with the 2009 Eclipse and the next generation Outlander promises to have an Evo-style nose.

If I went and did a bunch of lighting and shit in my car to give it the F&F look? The reason I ask is because I'm about to finish install on a pretty nice sound system, and I love showing off my car, but I don't wanna be labeled a complete tool if I do the whole interior/exterior lighting thing...
Opinions? I won't be surprised to be flamed for suggesting such Ricer-ness...

Hi,
I am a newbie here so I am hoping someone can help me!!
I am having trouble pairing my Nokia 6220 classic with the Parrot VM3.20 in my new Triton GLX-R.
I have tried my phone in my mums car and that doesnt work either.. But have tried my mums and husbands phone in the Triton and they work.
I have been told it could be a possible Nokia software update to make life hard for people not using Nokia bluetooth systems.
Does anyone know how I can get around this?
The phone can find the device, but it just wont pair with the device...
And on the topic, does the Parrot let you program phone numbers into pre-sets on the stereo? or do you just have to use your phone and push call from there??

Hello,
Can anyone tell me what colour the 4G63 engines were painted out of the factory? In particular, I am looking for the colour used in 1982 Australian vehicles.
Thanks.
