Need info on 1987 mitsubishi van.
Alright guys, in the states they had these mitsubishi vans, and I cant find jack for informaiton on them because they were not popular at all. I know they at least came with the 4g64 wideblock "can we say dohc turbo? :)"
Anyways, I think all we got were automatic versions. I wanted to know if you guys had manual transmission versions of them. Because I would love to swap a manual transmission into one, and toss my 18g on a dohc/built 4g64 rwd van :)
Here is one of the few pics I could find of one from the states.

Ahh the Mitsubishi Express L300/Starwagon.
Express (L300) is the commercial van version. Starwagon is the seven seater family version.
Model numbers were SF, SG, SH and were built between 1987 and 1994.
You could choose between a 2 litre (4G63) or 2.4 litre (4G64) petrol engines and could be had in 2wd or 4wd. You could get them in 5spd or Auto.
There's a few models listed on this webpage:

Looks like I need to start throwing out some money for someone to grab me a manual conversion. Wonder if they used the k124 transmission from the starion or trucks, or whatever the code is.
I'll probably need, pedal assembly, master cylinder, shifter and linkage.
I'm looking into 2 of them locally right now. one is only 100 bucks... Doesnt rubn, but if the body is good, im gonna jump on it :)
I guess if there is any crazy australian mitsubishi van forum out there, I can get a link from you guys, and try there.

There have been a few Mitsu vans here with turbo conversion, both SOHC and DOHC. I recall a certain green L300 that had a VR4/EVO engine conversion. Went pretty good for a brick.

Well, Iam going to take a look at this one up in seattle tomorrow. They want 100 bucks for one with a blown hg. He says the body and interior are in good shape. Hell I cant beat that. As long as the bottom end is good, it should be an easy fix.
The van is even the same color as the one I posted above. I'm pretty dang excited, my subaru legacy wagon is on its last feet and I dont want to drop any money in it. This shoiuld make qa good replacement :)

What info do you want that hasn't already been posted? We got both manual and auto versions. The Starion box will bolt up to them.

I'm actually pretty interested in this myself.
I need a van to cart my bikes around, and I already have a VR4, so a L300 is a natural progression...
Whats the best way to do the conversion? I've been told to get the 2.4L L300, then just use VR4 parts to turbo it (as per http://4g64.150m.com/turbo2.html)
Is there any easy way to have a van with some boot? :D
Cheers fellas.

But then I realised that there may be a DOHC version of the 4G64 too, and that this information probably isn't relevant, right?4G63T Exhaust Manifold (Ported 2g Preferred)
4G63T O2 Sensor Housing (Ported 2g Preferred)
4G63T Downpipe - 2G FWD (aftermarket or custom 2.5" - 3" preferred)
A Turbo (duh!) - 14b, Small 16G, or other. Avoid the stock 2G T25! (16G variant (small, big, EVOIII) preferred)
High-Flow air filter & MAS Adaptor
Intake Pipe from MAS to Turbo (stock 2G OK, aftermarket better)
Intercooler - Stock 2G SMIC OK, FMIC better. NOTE: Stock 2G Intercooler won't fit on a 1996 model without moving the Washer bottle.
Intercooler Piping from turbo to intercooler & intercooler to throttle body (custom connector needed for stock throttle body connection).
Blow off valve (BOV) - 1G is fine
Boost Gauge
EGT Gauge <-- Yes, it's a MUST HAVE
Gauge Mounting (A-Pillar and/or Gauge cluster bezel trim or other)
Gasket: Head to Exhaust Manifold
Gasket: Turbo to Exhaust Manifold
Gasket: O2 Housing to Turbo
Gasket: O2 Housing to downpipe
Spark Plugs: NGK BKR7E (NGK's part number 6097) <-these are 2 heat ranges cooler
Misc Nuts, Bolts, Washers, hose clamps, etc.
Turbo oil Supply Line (Stainless braided preferred)
Turbo oil return Line from a stock 2G setup
2G turbo oil pan (or somehow mount the turbo oil return on your stock oil pan)
Turbo water lines (feed & return) + rubber coolant hose to connect to engine.
Higher flow Fuel Pump (Walbro 190lph is plenty)
Bigger Injectors (Stock 4G63T 450cc Injectors OK with turbo car resistor pack wired in)
Apex-i S-AFC
OBD-II Datalogger
Is there any easy way to have a van with some boot? :D
Cheers fellas.
