NOS on my mitsu 2.6L

[bmxrider]

I'm not planning on spending money for a turbo for my mitsu. I'm thinking about putting NOS. Is there anyway I could put NOS on it? Its carburetted, 2 barl. Once it goes, I'm swapping it with a 2.5L TBI TII. I want to atleast make it a 13 sec car. Any suggestions on rebuilding a 2.5 L w/ TII?

P.S. I'm not trying to be a wannabe 2fast 2furious freak! I hate rice burners!

tbi t2 doesnt exist, but no biggie, not the point.

you can definitely put nitrous on your motor if you want to. the 2.6 bottom end is definitely strong enough to take a big shot, probly more than its reasonable to run.

im not sure in carbed cars if theres anything wrong with introducing the nitrous upstream of the carb.. if upstream it should probly be far enough so that it doesnt interrupt the airstream going into the carb and confuse it.

you should definitely run a wet shot, hehehe.

what car is this in?? you should be able to hit 13s with just nitrous and probly slicks if thats what you want.

well, the motor came out from a 83 crysler lebaron and its in a 82 dodge 400. thats for the 2.6 and thats what i have in right now. i think what im gonna do is, im going to put a turbo and i could take out the carb, put the tbi in. but would i need a tbi wiring harness or could i just use the one thats in there?

well convertint to tbi would be a big job, and are you talking about the dodge motor tbi setup?? i dont think it will bolt right on the mitsu manifold.. some of mitsu's turbo 2.6 setups used a tbi with 2 injectors in the tb.. either way you'd probly have to do a lot of wiring work, and not use much of your existing harness.

forget it, im putting a turbo on it......case closed!

I run away from these motors. Nothing but carb, timing-cam problems. & have fun finding someone to rebuild the carb cheap. These's are just as bad as the vw motors in the early horizon & them french motors from that other car company i can't spell.

[bmxrider]

i'm puttuing a tbi in so i could swap the turbo on and the timing-cam i'm watching because i know its a known problem for these engines. i'm not really worried about it.

wait a min...... you are putting a tbi setup from a 2.2 or a 2.5 on the 2.6 motor? you are going to have to use an appropriate wiring harness from a newer tbi car that you steal the tbi unit off of. then you are going to have to make an adapter to bolt the tbi unit to the 2.6 intake manifold. then you are going to have to adapt the 2.2/2.5l distributor to the 2.6 or modify the 2.6 distributor electronics to work with the tbi ecm. then somehow you plan on putting a turbo on it?

quite frankly, youd be better off putting an entire 2.2/2.5 turbo car drivetrain in it and it would be much easier.

you could also gank a 2.6l turbo setup off of a conquest/starion and adapt the wiring harness to work with the 82 400 stuff. that wouldnt be TOO difficult....

if you want help with this project you are going to have to be a little more clear on exactly what you want to do and realistic with your goals.

no no. im putting a tbi setup from a 2.6 conquest and a complete turbo setup from a conquest 2.6.

why would i mix two engines together?

[Aries_Turbo]

ahhh gotcha... it was confusing the way you worded it. its clear now. is the tranny a regular 413? you might be able to use parts from the 413 in it and newer 413's to get a stronger trans though i think it still will have the old style differential unless you can swap the newer style into the older case and large spline axles as well. that would be a cool setup. remember youll need to get the entire conquest turbo motor as the N/A internals arent as stout. the hardest part will be figuring out how to splice the star/quest harness into the 400's. get some wiring diagrams and go to town. good luck.

thanks. well the guy thats selling it explained it how to do it. i might get it...he said it isnt too hard but i would like to get a diagram before i start zappin myslef.

i think i do have a 413 in it. i dont know much about the tranny, i would like to and get some info so i could atleast put more power to the wheels with the turbo on. james

sorry about the miss understanding

Well that explanes it. Have fun on your project. The best thing you could do is get rid of that p.o.s carb. TBI is way much better. Post pic when your done.

[Aries_Turbo]

That will be a cool project, you might wanna upgrade to a larger turbo from the getgo, since the turbo is tiny and usually fails because of its size. You'll have to cobble I/C piping, but that's easy.

Brian

[bmxrider]

i sure will post a pic.. where would i get a bigger turbo? james

[Vigo]

well, depending what comes on those motors theres probly a cheap upgrade from another mitsu turbo motor that would bolt right on..

ive always wanted to do what you're planning, i hope you can pull it off.

also, 413s on 2.6s carent called the same thing.. its like 460 or or something, same tranny, different bellhousing, just like 670, and yes you can definitely beef it just like any other 413.. and the spline differences were on the outside of the axles, not the inside, so all axles should fit in there..
