Been there done that. Main problem now is the mighty max clutch is too weak. This is holding me back from going to the track =( Anyone selling a mighty max ACT?

That is HOT. And people say my car's a sleeper. :laugh:

Man, I've bet that truck has caught alot of those "Hemeh" boys off guard.


Some people also transplant 13B-REW's into the Mazda B-series trucks...

I wanna do a 4g63t into a mighty max. my question is there anyother truck like that uses the 4g63b. I was thinking like a mazda b2200 or somthing else like that. i just don't see many nice mighty max's for sale where i live.

Hello everyone,

Yes I'm a noob to this forum, but have worked on cars for many years. A little background: My first car was a 1965 Ford Fairlane, I built a few engines for this car, and did alot of additional work. 2nd car, 1991 300ZX non-turbo, did alot of work on this car, if interested, you can search my posts at www.twinturbo.net under member NC-Z. I now have a 2004 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec-V that's under warranty, so nothing has been done.

I am receiving a free 1988 Mitsubishi Mighty Max 2.0 Liter 5speed from my girlfriend's dad that is burning oil. I've done some preliminary research on the web, and on this site about doing the 4G63T swap into the truck. I think that I'm up to the challenge, and wanted to know some general information about the engine. I've found this distributor of JDM engines in SC: http://www.rimsandthings.com/engines_mitsubishi_4g63t.htm I'm thinking of purchasing the engine with everything else that comes with the kit; I want to see if they'll knock off a little bit if I don't take the transmission.

My questions are:

What is the general consensus of used JDM engines for the 4G63T? Is it a crap-shoot if these engines will work well. Are there any specific years, or issues to watch out for? (with the 1990 300ZX TT engine, I believe the passenger side cylinder head had a design flaw, are there any similar issues with the 4G63t?)

Can anyone recommend a reputable place to pick up an engine if the company in the link above is not reputable? I'd like to be able to drive to pick up the engine if possible, to ensure I'm not getting the worse one in the company's warehouse, plus I could possibly find a certain year, or mileage on the engine, and to save on shipping. I'm in Raleigh, NC, so that's why I'm looking at this place in SC, I haven't called around to local engine shops yet.

Anything else to watch out for, or any other tips for the swap I may attempt?
I've looked through the FAQs on this site, so please don't flame too much if I'm asking questions that have been discussed - just provide the link and I'll read away.

Thanks in advance!

Go to www.carolinadsm.com and do a search for spydur8385, this guy is doing the exact same thing on an 88 mighty max PU. He's been working on it for a while but I'm not sure if it's done or not. You may be able to email him or send him a private message. He's right down the road from you too in Wendell, NC.

The engine that you want is from a 90-early 92 turbo eclipse, talon or laser. They are called 6 bolt engines and have beefier internals. I'm sure there are 6 bolt JDM engines but I honestly have no idea what year cars they come from. Probably an early Galant VR-4. If the engine is out of the car you can see that the flywheel is held on by 6 bolts, that's one way to tell the difference. There are differences in the oil pans also but you really have to know what you're looking for there. The later cars use 7 bolt engines which are very good also but there have been many cases of crankwalk reported.

Lastly, I see that you have owned a Z32. I had a 90 and 91 TTZ and they are a pain to work on. If you did any amout of work or maintenance to the Z you should be able to pull this off. Good luck with the project!

 

[dtl1218]

I'll see if I can track down the guy in Wendell to see how his project is going. Those Z32s are a pain to work on, but I did learn alot about modern car technology from having that car.

Thanks again,

David

hey everyone..i was given a 1988 Mighty Max for my 16th birthday...well now i finally have my lisence and i want to start fixing it up...the current 88 hp isnt cutting it so thats why i want to get a 4g63t engine swap. if anyone knows what year donor car would bolt onto my 5-spd tranny..the current engine i have is a 2.0L

 

[95DsmTsiauto]

i personally dont know but i know a site where You can find the information..

i was reading a bit and it said you can do the swap as long as the year of your truck has the 2.0 engine it will fit. the 2.4liter engine tranny is a slighty bigger bore than the 2.0.


www.mightyd50.com its all about those.. Its like this site for dsm's

 

[koroshiya_jason]

starion oriented, but still helpful for rwd 4g63:

Check this site out guys- i was looking into drifting championhips. and found this thought you all would enjoy this.

PLUS- the reason i put it in the drivline section is what the heck do you guys think he did to that tranny to get that thing to hold to that power?

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6742150606988629030&q=drift+champion

btw he is using a 4g63.

 

[jasonlee]

trucks like that are very light weight in the rear... it does not take much power to spin up the wheels whenever you want.. especially with a manual trans.

and it looks like a mitsu mighty max pickup.. came stock with a 2.4l 4g64 engine.. the guy probably put a dohc head from a 4g63 on it so he could bolt up the turbo.

nice vid though, the fire from the exhaust is cool

 

[blight]

4g64?

so you can just take the head from the 63 and through it right on there?

never heard of that before. is it just a direct swap or does one need to swap pistons or anything else?

"http://thedrifttruck.com/mods.html"

and he did a motor swap it is not just a head swap

 

[JayRolla]

Doesnt it say its a 4g63 out of a 90 talon, not a 64. Yea that truck is bad ass, its been around for a while. Found it on google about 6 months ago.

 

[mysticfire6602]

oh yea, mighty max pwnage!!!

and whats all this 4g64 crap, , mine came with the 3.0 from a 3000gt i wonder if i could bolt up the twin turbo setup since its the same engine...

 

[tstkl]

you could, but would you want to?

there probably isn't enough room, and the 3.0tt engines are such a hassle

 

[GreddyGst]

Nice, Kind of makes me want to mod my mighty max

 

[Thomas91169]

MM's are teh shiznit.

i keep telling my buddy to stop spending his money on his spyder, keep it where its at now(a quick car that looks very clean) and start modding his MM to be a full on "holy shit wtf is in that truck!" vehicle. and then take the little MM cruising and laugh at all the lifted "Smokers" in their F350's and Cummins who think theyre badass.
