Re: What web site do you search for parts?

and also check in on Yahoo Japan from time to time but unless you use a broker or know someone in Japan it is impossable to buy anything from. I have used Import Monster a couple of times. It gives you access to Yahoo auctions Japan, translates and they organise all shipping. Problems are that its ...

Re: 2.6 Astron in an L300 2WD

If it’s the same model as ours then you probably wont need an engineers certificate. The RTA says you are allowed up to 15% increase on the largest capacity motor available from factory for your model without the need for a certificate. AFAIK this model came out with 2.5 diesel and later models with...

Re: 2.6 Astron in an L300 2WD

I can't say that have driven a 2.6 before but I know what the 2l was like and this set-up seems to have a better throttle response while still being smooth. So I would agree completely with what Jason said. When I said to my boss what flywheel I was using he just smiled. He used to get the flywheels...

Re: 2.6 Astron in an L300 2WD

It's finished! I found a vacuum line diagram and checked everything. Swapped a few things around and blocked some off. Then discovered oil was pissing out of the bottom the fuel pump and so replaced it. Checked and adjusted the ignition timing. Next I started on the carburettor. I put the carb off t...

Re: 2.6 Astron in an L300 2WD

On the home stretch now! I shortened the 4G63 alternator bracket and attached it to the bracket I made for the idler pulley. http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/695/l30026041small.jpg Ended up cutting the end down a bit to clear the radiator hose better. I went to pick up some Gemini guards from my p...

Re: 2.6 Astron in an L300 2WD

Thanks Jason. Good idea with the cold air intake! Checked the engine mount spacings because I saw this. http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/7544/l30026018small.jpg The L300 bracket has the mount sit closer to the block. As it turns out the Sigma brackets are fine. Might be handy to drop the motor down ...

2.6 Astron in an L300 2WD

This is my boss’s 1995 L300. http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/48/l300small.jpg Its done over 380,000 Kms and the 4G63 is stuffed. I have been thinking of this conversion for a while because ever since he got it it’s been slow. We had a drag race between the empty L300 and his loaded up 1.8 Econova...

Hi from Newcastle

Hello I'm Justin and I'm fairly new to Mitsubishi. I have to admit my main passion is for the Holden Gemini but I like to tinker and modify any vehicle. I'm an electrician and work for a contractor. It's just the two of us so keep the overheads down. One of our work vans is a 1995 L300 with a carb 4...
