6g72 thoughts

[southrneclipser]

Alright folks I'v got an 02 mitsubishi montero with a 6g72 in it. It's about time for a rebuild and i've been considering a few things. I either want to turbo it with low compression pistons and all the goodies, or run it high compression N/A. Or maybe even a built 3.5l 6g74. I would really like to know what you guys think of it. I want to swap a 5 speed into it too so i was wondering if anyone knows if an older 5speed out of a 3000gt will bolt up to a newer 6g72 or not?
BTW:
I know it will be slow because its a big heavy suv
I know it will not be cheap or easy
I know its not logical
I want to do it anyways
This is not to start a flame war, I'm just throwing out my thoughts on a project i've been thinking up.

Throw a 150shot on it and call it a day...

The 6g72 can handle quite a beating. I'll just link you to this video and you can see for yourself.

Of course he did blow it up... but that's what happens when it leans out to much at the end of the track.

i dont think a 3kgt trans will work seeing as though the motors were mounted transversly and on your montero its mounted longitudenally. i thought monteros were offered with a manual but i could be wrong

Many have thought of dropping that V-6 in a DSM since the motor does spin the same direction as the 4G63 (even Dodge Shadow ES units had that V-6, but the drivetrain is the same as their vans that used that same V-6).

You would have a lot of fabricating to do to drop that 6G72 motor in the DSM chassis let alone the electronics and harnesses.

but, it's a fun thought though ... Good luck - DSM

sorry if i wasn't clrear, but i meant what engine should i put back in my montero. I'm not putting anything into a dsm.
Btw forget about if a 3000gt tranny will fit, i forgot that some monteros came with a stick shift.

How about supercharged? Does anyone one make a super charger kit for the
6g72? It would be pretty sick to have a blown 6g72 in a soccer mom suv.

BTW just to satisfy my curiousity, is the 6g72 a chrysler or mitsu engine. I know it came in mopar and mitsu cars but which company makes the engine? I thought it was mitsu, but a guy that commented that video said it was mopar.
