4g63t Swap would be the only logical choice for a conquest.

Why?
6g7x are mitsu so you are not crossing brands.
And you can bolt up 3.8L 6g75's to the same bell housing...and there is a billet crank from Nelson performance pro that takes that motor to 4.9L
4.9L of mitsu goodness vs 2.0-2.4L 4g63.
Hmmm. Assuming you had $ though

Seems like the 2.6L can make great power anyways so I dont know the point of going 4g63.

lsx seems like a great choice though. I would love an Iron block turbocharged LS motor in a small RWD car. Easy to deal with the transmission too!! You can get some ungodly strong t56's built for $1500.

No matter what mitsu engine you choose, it seems transmissions are a problem so I dont know how a any mitsu swap can really be "logical" unless you get some custom bellhousing work done to use another trans. .

who cares about logic when you are looking for big power, be different

4g63t is the proven motor. The 2.6 sucks, remember fuel injection back in 1986. Lsx is a great choice, but thats a lot more fab work which the average person wouldn't be able to do them selfs. Their are also alot of transmission options when doing a 4g from Rx7 trannys to b2200 transmissions. I personally if I had the time and money would do a ls1 swap before anything, but logically 4g63t would be easiest.

Really lsx swaps aren't "different" anymore. If you want to be different swap in a cummins.

[refractory]

miss information is a horrible thing.

just so everyone knows, there are now several 500hp street driven g54b's. some aftermarket recently steped up and now ditching the 2.6 is not the "in" thing.

if i were going to do a swap in one of these cars, a 4g63 would not even be in consideration.

[90Laser]

Thats your thing then I personally hate these cars, maybe I just had a bad experience? IMHO the only thing it was good for was some doughnuts.

[refractory]

and a crankwalking dsm is better? IMO neither of them are really that great, but opinions are like ass holes, every one has them right?


on that note, i was more so refering to yours and others misinformation, it would be nice if someone actually knew about these cars before they started rattleing off about whats bad about them. personal experiances are nothing if you didnt learn from it, meaning how to fix the problem at hand, not abandon it for another.

[90Laser]

I learned I'll never buy another one. It was one of the best $400 I've ever spent though.

[Ondonti]

what kind of rear suspension do they have?

Exaclty true......To talk about how something is a POS without actually understanding it, isn't right. Just cause someone bought a car ran the piss out of it and it did not hold up to there abuse.....come on....don't blame it on the car. Just like (almost) any motor, build it to take the abuse. A 2.6 is a strong motor. Came from the factory with steel crank and rods. The weak point of it and why everyone bashes it was for the head problems. Fix that and work with the TBI (cause that is what you have. Or spend the money and go MPI. I have personally put over 20,000 miles on my build in the last year and a half. I run it with the boost set at 20-21psi and I have not had to put a wrench on it. Will I? Sure. But that is what I built it for. FUN damn it. LOL

I want to also add that I am in NO WAY comparing the g54b to the 4g63. The 4g63 has proven itself time and time again.

The rear suspension is an Indepedant set up with a 3.54 LSD. granted, the LSD was not in every year.

congratulations on having the rarest color of the starquests. still prtial to the fiji though. i myself have owned two of them and done all work necessary on them. They are very nitpicky cars that need to be maintained properly in order to be enjoyable. if it's hacked together....well you know garbage in garbage out. These cars are getting harder and harder to find clean. frame rails go like mad on them due to a/c drain. wheel wells rot out and rocker panels go form the inside out. Best thing to do with starquests is 1. make sure your injector clips are good, and if they are good don't mess with them. 2. Go through the cooling system and make sure EVERYTHING is in proper working order otherwsie you will run hot. (mine after going through never got above half) ........god i miss mine now, thanks alot. o speaking of i have some parts here.....anybody need em?

What do you got? And actually mine is not the rarest color. Mine is the Atlantic blue. I believe you speak of the Balt Blue car. Not many of those known to be around. maybe 10 at the most. The Altantic blue is a rarer color being that mitsu did not like blue.

i have a 1986 dodge omni glh-t and a 1999 30th anniversary trans am. i owned an 88 chrysler conquest and an 88 mitsu starion. quest had SHP package with fucntioning suspension but was a total basket case and had lots of rot. she got crushed because it got put on a lift and started to fold due to rust. starion was another beater of sorts but very fun. hacked paint job motor was fantastic though. had trouble keeping auto's together in that one. Now after reading this i see you meant what parts....looks like i have some fog lights, window regulators, some coolant lines....
