hi everyone.
i'm new here and was hoping someone could help me with this.
i just recently purchased a 1988 conquest.
the lever on the underside of the steering column that allows for height adjustment for the column comes loose.
i was told that to fix this i had to install a new column.
there has to be an easier fix for this.
any ideas would be appreciated.

I am starting (once again) to work on my old Conquest TSi. I have owned it since new and want to get it on the road again. Been sitting for years and am in the process of cleaning the gunk out of the fuel system. Does anybody know where I can get a new fuel tank strainer? Also need new throttle position sensor and idle speed control motor. Also what are the correct GPH and pressure ratings for the '86 fuel injection system? Sorry for the long post but really need help to get my baby running again. Thanks!

Just bought a 1986 Starion Esi-R. And although the stock turbo gets this Mitsu up to speed pretty quickly I'm looking for a little more power with what I hope to be, maybe an easy swap out. For example can I run a 90's eclipse turbo in it or any of the other fine breeds that Mitsubishi has to offer. ? With possibly the same inter-cooler set up that's standard in my Starion? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hey I'm new to the Starion/Conquests and was wondering if I could get some help. I just put a new head on my Starion and I'm having a heck of a time getting the cam timed. I know where the tdc marks are on the crank shaft pulley and timing cover. isn't the pin on the cam just suppose to be on the top or the bottom?
Any help would be grate!

I will admit I am a newb when it comes to this starion and also this forum but I just can't find the information I need to figure this issue out. I checked the other threads on this issue and mine is not exactly the same so I will ask for someones help who knows better than I. I have been a mechanic for over 20 years and am an ASE master in both truck & car just for quick background, but have never worked on a Starion before this though. I bought this 87 Starion turbo with a bad motor. The car came with a good used motor that the previous owner heard run but the car and motor both sat for almost 10 years. I thought my best move would be to hear the car run with the original motor first to make sure there were no hidden issues. I drained and cleaned the tank, purged the lines and got the car running but only after cranking it for about an hour or so with no spark. Eventually it just began sparking like it should but I couldn't explain why. I replaced the motor using all the original components off of the original engine because I new it was operational as I heard the old motor run (although it knocked). Now with the replacement engine installed I again have no spark at all. From memory I believe I have 12 volts to the coil but don't have any power at either terminal on the plug going to the distributor but don't know what I should see anyway. I have two distributors, two coils, and two sets of caps,rotors,and wires so I have tried swapping these parts to no success. I have a manual on the car but it is very general and non specific so I don't have scematics or troubleshooting for this ignition system. If anyone here could help me out with some detailed diagnosis or maybe have been in this same situation I would appreciate anything I can get. I appologize for the long post but I wanted all the information included so it would be available to anyone that could help. Thank you in advance.

Hi,

I am considering buying an '88 starion but it does not have a motor. It has a 5 speed transmission. I assume it is a U.S. production model for what that's worth. I'm trying to figure out how hard it will be to find either an original complete starion motor, or if this car can take another engine from say an eclipse or lancer, etc. Thanks for any advice you can give.

Hi,

I've been wanting to build a daily driver/weekend track car (road racer, not drag) in the 300 hp/mid-to-high 12 second range for some time now; I originally looked at dsms, but was unable to find anything decent in my area for the right price, so I ended up with an '89 5.0 Mustang. It's a nice car and all (yeah, right), but I've had an open mind about acquiring a mk3 turbo supra or other rwd turbo car for a while; by chance I happened upon my "new" 87 starion at the local junkyard and bought it as a builder car for $500, and they're selling me a motor out of another starion for $120 as was negotiated into the deal. I'll have my work cut out for me for a while just getting the car tuned up and running halfway decent, but I need to know asap what it will take me to get her to >300 rwhp.

I've been looking around in what little spare time I've managed to get this weekend, and I see no shortage of high-hp starions, but everyone seems to have a different combo. I'm a little vexed that I made the mistake of thinking that this starion had a 4g63 in it -- a motor that I already knew had good aftermarket support and is capable of making well over 300 whp without breaking the bank.

So, since I'm stuck with an rg54b, what kinda "recipe" do I need to make a reliable 300-400 rwhp car? I'll have an extra motor, and once I sell my Mustang I'll have some money to throw at it, so I can take my time with the build and do it right, but I need to know if this will be something that I can afford. What I've seen gives me the impression that most of the higher hp starions and conquests are very custom -- a stark contrast from the 5.0 world, where a simple head/cam/intake/other boltons combo with a tune will get you that 300-400 hp relatively easily.

I want to go big with this car, or go with something else entirely if it's beyond me; what's a realistic figure for the $$$$ that it will take to accomplish this, and where do I start looking for information?

Thanks in advance!

This car was a daily driver up till this happened 3 weeks ago. About 3 weeks ago it overheated on the highway after a radiator hose blew, and after that incident it wouldn't start, after getting a new head gasket put in I am still having some problems. The car starts now, but when I give it gas it won't hold the rpms, If I put the gaaccelerator down it jumps up, but even with the accelerator to the floor , the rpms drop back down and it wants to stall. If I don't give it asny gas it will sit there and idle at low rpms fine. It is also backfiring a little when it drops from the high rpms and I can't tell if the turbo is spooling up right but the boost gage really seems to lag behind the rpms. Is it possible I messed up the turbo when it overheated ? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would like to get it running right before I put in a new radiator. Thanks for any help.

for sale on ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...=#ht_500wt_1182

For sale is my Red 1989 Chrysler Conquest TSi. ONLY 89,000 miles on it and is a 5-speed with the original turbocharged 2.6L motor. It has a new alternator, spark plugs and front brakes. The motor runs great and the turbo boosts great also. The tires have plenty of tread left and all four of the original rims come with the car and only one has a curb rash from a pot hole before I bought the car. The car is in really good condition for being twenty years old. It has NO RUST even under the car is very very clean and everything seems to be in original condition including the original exhaust, NO FART CAN!!! The paint has faded somewhat but still looks respectable and overall the car has some door dings but no major dents other than the passenger side front fender/headlight are bent up a little but not all smashed in. The interior is black and is in good shape other than the rip on the driver’s seat. Overall the car would make a great cruiser as it gets plenty of looks or would make a great start for a drift car. I’m starting off at $3200 O.B.O. Any question you can Contact Steve at (574) 536-5260.

Hey guys!

I'm thinking of buying a Conquest from this guy here http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/1073551766.html and was wondering if this is a good price. By the way, I am n00b lol. Also, If anyone wants to sell me theirs I don't mind I just want a project in the summer. I live In SD, CA.

Goodday! Picked up an '87 Starion TSI. Trying to get it to run, very rare up here since they were never sold in Canada!

Is there a central website for information about these cars?

For some odd reason my conquest has lost its spark and the injectors have stopped firing all at the same time. This literally took place over nite and now i have no spark and no fuel injection.I ve have come to the conclusion that the spark issue is easily resolved by me installing a dura-spark system in place of the already failing igniter on the conquest.THE MORE CONCERNING PART OF THIS DILIMA IS THE FUEL INJECTORS HAVE ALL OF SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING.If anybody can help me it is greatly appreciated.

I have a 1986 Conquest. The motor has been rebuilt, I cleaned out the fuel tank, replaced the fuel filters, and just installed a new 14g turbo. However, I still have a few problems:

1. After a few minutes of idle the RPMS drop and it begins to puff black smoke.
2. It seems to have a fuel supply problem at any given time but not always.

Has anyone had this problem or can anyone offer solutions? Thanks.

The LORD reigns.

My son has a 1988 Dodge Conqust TSI. 109000+ miles, auto. The engine will crank, but will not start. We have checked for- fuel pressure 40psi, injector function, spark, compression #1-100psi,2-110,3-90,4-120, and timing location. As the engine cranks a strong fuel smell is present We have installed a tune-up kit before it died. With the key on there is no check engine light on the IP ? We have no idea what to do next, Any Idea's.........Thanks

Where is the fuel pump relay located on a 1987 starion esi?

I have a 1987 starion ESi. It started cutting out on me the other night, and now it will not start at all. I am getting fuel, but no spark from the coil. I show voltage to the coil however. Could it just be a bad coil, or is there something more complex? Any help would be appriciated. Thanks

Does anyone knows of a good and reliable mechanic for a Mitsubishi Starion within Southern California? Any comment is greatly appreciated. Thank you

Hey I just found a 1986 Turboed 2.6L Starion for 1000 obo ... the guy will prolly take 500 ... Problems with the car I've seen personally ...


Seats front and back - back condition
Turbo needs to be replaced
Minor oil leaks
Engine mileage 140K (not bad actually for the year)
Minor body work with a new paint job would be wonderful
Minor dash board damage

I haven't drove it yet but a friend of mine has ... He said it ran very well (friend drives a mazda speed turbo) I can trust how he says it drives ... what do ya'll think

I have a 88 starion. the car was running fine but then all of a sudden it started acting up. the car starts right up no problem but sometimes it revs itself up and down. when i gas it starts idleing fine. if i drive it for more then 15 min it starts bogging and it doesnt hold the boost. i cant boost because it backfires bad and it starts to bog. a got aftermarket injectors and i heard that that was the problem. its running real rich and i have a code that says its the o2 sensor. if i turn the car off and disconnect the battery and connect it again it runs fine and it holds the boost but for like 4 min then it starts again. if you have any suggestions on wut it will be i would greatly appreciate it.

thanks in advance for your help

i was wondering if anyone could tell me if the starion or conquest engine, g54b can be switched out for a 4g63 engine from a mitsu eclipse? i have an 87 conquest, and the engine is shot. ive decided to just pull it, and figured why not try to find a good swap? from what ive found, the engine will bolt straight to the tranny and all. if anyone could tell me if this is true, and if not, what might need to be done, or an engine other than another g54b that can be dropped in without having to redo the entire mechanics of the car would be hugely appreciated.

New to the forum, but don't hve a TSI yet. Would like to know what gear ratio stock on a/t and stick. These cars don't seem to get very good mpg. What are you guy's getting , real world ? I have a chance to get a rust free 88 with no motor. Anyone done an eng swap for more power, mpg, or reliability ?

I bought my 88' starion about 1 1/2 monts ago so i'm trying to get all the small problems fixed. I get a BAD gas smell on the right side of the car when I drive it, the harder I drive it the worse the smell is. All gas lines run on the left side of the car. Why and what is this smell from???? Anyone have this before???

Thanx,
Brian

Hey everyone.
My starion recently has begun running badly. If i put my foot down (sometimes without) the car will start running really badly which can be fixed by turning off and and back on. Now even more recently its only running on two cylinders. 1 and 4. 2 and 3 plugs are black. Any help? If anyone in Adelaide has a working map sensor i can test in here also please let me know.

So I bought a 87 Conquest from a wrecking yard for a mere $400. I brought it home, threw a battery in it and it fired right up. But it was running kinda rough so I did some inspecting and found that the O2 sensor has the plug cut off of it. So the problem I'm having is that I can't find the wire it connects to anywhere. So it would be a great help if someone could post up a picture of the wire and its routed. And of course what the color of the wire would also be helpful. Thanks in advance.

this thing is spewing out coolant when it gets hot.

i've heard they have head problems, is it safe to assume it only needs a gasket?

i was taking the plastic filler plug out when it broke and fell in. anyone have this problem? need suggestions.....

Just got into Starions and bought an 88'. I know that there are different ones, Esi and the Esi+R. How do you know what you have and what do these mean????

Thinking of buying a Conquest TSI to use for hywy use for frequent weenkend trips. What kind of mpg's are you guys getting on the hywy and would smaller gears be bad for the turbo as far as constant down shifting ? I would imagine that na 2.6's can travel highways w/decent gas mpg why can't a TSI ?

Im looking into modifying starions and have been told some parts with newer mitsus are interchangable.

The 2.6 T Starion has the same block as a 2.6 Pajero
Same fitment of heard as a Galant? Is this a common mod to make a 16v?

What management mods can be done to make mapping easier?

Cheers in advance!

Hi all,
