This is exactly the kind of project I want to take on. Finding one of these for a reasonable price is still possible, and I want to take advantage of that. And a 4g63 swap is awesome. I was thinking of doing that or a 6g72. Keeping it in the family! Really cool build. Looking forward to more. Subscribed!
Hey from Miami Fl. I'm working on a white 87. It's been a two year project for me. Started with a clean 1 owner from Texas. Engine not turning over. Locked up. Did the complete engine, injectors, complete brakes, brake hoses, wheel bearings, intake, bushings, fuel tank and pump. Etc. But Almost done. Im on prepping the body and will do a gloss glossy pearl white wrap. Cant wait to finish it. Every day I see it, I say to myself what a beautiful body style. Keep up the videos. Good job.
i just picked a really good condition TSI for $1200 it’s a crank no start but it’s been to cold outside and i haven’t sold my GSX! i can’t wait to get it up and going once it’s warmed up
update the police came so i had to store it about an hour away from my house at a family members house and got it back a few months back and this winter i might just try a 302 swap
Dude, my cousin that lived in Spooner, WI had one of these, same color and everything (maybe this is it???). This was early to mid 90's and I was way too young otherwise I would have bought it from him because even with the stock turbo and original motor that thing was pretty dang quick! Can't say I love the yellow, but color is always a personal choice so as long as you like it that's all that matters. I've been thinking about looking for a project car and the Starion/Conquest came to mind, but they're so rare it might not fit the bill. Anyway, very cool car.
I'll never ever forget the first time I saw a wide body Mitsubishi Starion. First day of 12th grade in high school, September 1985. I finally got the privilege to park in the seniors parking lot. I had a red 1968 Mustang with black interior. Showed up early and parked in the first row. Then a cute blonde, fellow senior, pulls up in a brand new 1986 red wide body Starion and parks right next to me. I remember thinking "wow!" about both the girl and the car. I've always been interested in those cars but have never owned one. So, I ask: what were the pro's (and cons} of the 2.6 Mitsubishi motor. I live in California where emissions laws are very stringent. So, if I did buy one, and wanted to smog it, it would most likely have to be stock.
Great video! Quick question though: I recently came into ownership of my uncles old conquest that wouldn't start thats been sitting in a shed for 25 years. The engine is probably shot, and I've been really heavily debating on whether to get another 4g54 or swap it for the 4g63. The only reason I'm having trouble deciding is that this is my first project car, and I dont know a whole lot about plumbing and stuff, and I was trying to figure out how difficult it would be to do the 4g63 swap for a beginner? I definitely want to put a 4g63 in it at some point, and so I'm trying to figure out if its worth it or not to try it right off the bat.
In Europe it had a g63t sohc that was basically a 4g63t In the later narrowbodies and 88 wide-bodies had the 4g63t intercooler But it was changed to 4g54t in later 88 to 90
@@rich4rd-b I grew up in Belgium and my second car was a used 1983 flat sided Starion with the sohc 4g63t engine and the louvered hood. Loved that car! Wished I could have one of those here in the US, or even better with a dohc 4g63t engine.
What transmission are you pairing it up with?
W58 from an mk3 Supra. Uses custom belhousing from Bill Hincher.
@@crewspeed5934 Awesome dude, great build! Thanks for the response.
I enjoyed this video. Gives me encouragement to buy one to restore!
I love the older starions hope to see more videos

Hell yeah bro. 4g63 all the way!! Keep up the build!
Thanks I will try my best!

thanks for the support! sounds very familiar. when they are all done they are definitely worth it!
Hey good job. I've been working on my '89 Conquest, the 2nd '89 I owned after the 1st over 11 years ago. Always in the mitsu fam
Car looks great man ! Ive owned over a dozen of these cars over the years. I still have a 89 SHP Fiji in close to mint shape. !
Love Fiji's. Best stock color in my opinion.
Don't ever part with it man. I 2nd figi blue is the best.
I just bought an 89 conquest, and I definitely wanna see more videos man keep up the hard work
I've owned 2 Starions and 1 Conquest. Love yours!
right there with you, 1 Starion and 1 Conquest. Wish I still had atleast one of them
Very nice with 4g63. I have two Starion one is 1986 and 1988 they have 4g54
Nice! Good work! Would like to see the 4g63 in there and a full description of how you put it together. Good luck!
Great work brother!!!
James Underwood Thanks much appreciated!!!!

Curious about this project. Am a big fan of these cars.
Looks good! Mine was white but got sprayed yellow before I bought it.
Great work. I love these cars i have 3. But they are all black. I want a red one.
All the ones I found around me were red. There was one black on but it was pretty haggard.

Thank you. Car was originally red from De Pere. Farthest I could trace it back was to someone in Pulaski.
Good story build
Great video thanks i have a black starion
Awesome job man. Thats a tasty banana!
I love those cars...
L👀X Great
Keep up the Great work Sir 🤓👍🇺🇸
Thanks man I'm trying! Hoping to get some garage time in this weekend.
nice man, good job!
Nice !!
Great ride. 4G63 was a logical choice. How much more work would it have been to make it awd I wonder? Great job so far!

Great work! See a lot of Harbor freight in these clips. lol
ha ha yeah have to save money on tools so I can buy more parts.
I'd put that engine in mine if I had one

good swap ,but check the crank for axial play..crankwalk if u know what i mean...
Please send me links where I can get power steering rebuild? thanks Luba
But wasn't the original engine a 4G63 But nth sth mounted , The 4G54 was a naturally aspirated 2.6 ?
they came with a sohc 4g63 overseas but not hear in the US. We got the turbo charged G54B.
The G54B was a forklift motor from mitsu.industries. Thats why its peak torque is at 2500rpm.
Ahh . Here in Oz we got the Japanese spec version , cheers mate

Slowly but surely try to keep the work carried out to a high standard because it will show on completion, be patient the reward is SPEACHLESS. 😅😊🎉
im working in a 1986
Very cool! Was 86 one of the odd duck years? Map sensor and can run without maf?
I have 4 HRE wheels for this car. Let me know if you interested.
