This is my new ride, does anyone know what it is?

Its Rear Wheel Drive for a start

Has the same sorta shape as the 200's lol

Mitsi Starion

Narrow body, so it will be the 2.0 8V Turbo

Similar to the monster my mate has, but his kicks out 600bhp with an Evo head

Guessed it was a starion before i read stuys post, im getting good at guessing cars now. *cough cough*

600bhp?

Thought you would of guessed it stu, lol, not many people have seen one of these cars.

Pick it up on monday, recon engine in it last year apparently.
Totaly standard. (Apart from exhaust)

Remember that starion from Peco, was leaving as i got there, something blew if i remembers correctly

Are they unreliabe?

Running 600bhp can make them unreliable i guess LOL

It goes for any old car, if it's been treated right it should be fine.

I think it has been treated right, lady owner, she knows fair bit about cars too.

You aint got rid of the MR2 av ye??

No mate, Steph was moaning because we have kids i needed a car with more seats, lol. (Great excuse to get another car)

Hahaha, love it, nice one!!

Pickin this up tomorrow.
This will be my mod car so i`ll start a new topic tomorrow in the members section

dam i would of got this one

I was talking to a fella who has the 2.5?is it? wide body and only has 86k on the clock.

the 2.6 is slower mate, you need the 2.0 litre.
I remember seeing one when i was younger and drooling over it, lol.
Wide body looks nicer though

ill snap a piccy when im next in work, it has the same wheela as my 200 did

Theres 1 left on ebay mate, only 12 hours left but its going cheap at mo, link HERE

Interiour seems knackered though

In Std trim they are pretty lame for a 2.0 Turbo

They use a heavy exhaust wheel on the turbo which makes the boost come in very progressivly, unlike the kick you get in a Cosworth or the likes.

Best mod for them is a Cosworth T3, though you need to watch the boost level and that it doesnt run to lean.

When my mate was running the 8V head, it was pushing 400bhp on Motec. He had it running 350bhp before that, but he had changed all the Mitsubishi loom and ECU for a more tunable Cosworth setup and the limitations on the std ECU where to restrictive.

As toto said, the 2.0 is the one to have. The 2.6 was junk, a lame attempt by Mitsubishi to gain more power from CC's after the engine had been detuned for the US market, unfortunatly this ment the engine was heavier, and lazier.

Will this bolt straight on?

Here clicky

What kind of gain will it give me and will i need anything else?

Hey, thanks for your help/info

IIRC the turbo will bolt directly to the manifold, but it will need a custon down pipe and custom oil pipes.

Shoud see 25-30bhp maybe if you keep the boost at a sensible 12psi, but the way the Cosworth T3 comes on boost, it will feel a far more entertaining drive

Thanks stu
Gotta get the damn thing started 1st, has an electrical problem no ignition light (battery), damn thing starts then cuts out so i aint even drove it yet

"Yeah cars fine"
I go to pick it up and it has no gas, a flat battery, had to pick it up from middle of TOXTETH and "oh i forgot to tell you" Damn elecy problem with alternator

My mate got shot with a water pistol on the way back too One of those really powerful ones, lol

Ebay you`ve let me down for the 1st time, lol


Still, it is my project car after all, so things aint too bad

Thanks again for the info

Neil at Park Garage is the Starion man if ever need any help with bits etc...
