A real mans DSM :D, Introducing, the Starion

[Shotgun!]

The 14G was the "sport" turbo offered as a dealer mod. It has the same turbine as the 12A.

I've ridden in a 14g car once. It was a purple starion owned by a guy named Jesse. Never saw him again after that. Anecdote finished.

Do you want to tell me anymore about how garbage my turbo apparently is?

[FattyBoomBatty]

Well, this car is awesome. Thanks for swinging by Ryder!

Thanks for helping me to get this beast running right. It was a good time. Cant wait for summer tho lol. Ill get up some pics of all my electronics installed, versus hanging.

Swung over and took a look at the car, replaced a few wires, fixed the bov so it works the way a bov should. Drained the oil, black as the night, but it's fresh now.

All i have to say is we pulled the plugs..... but when the pics get up you'll all be in for a good laugh.

The turbo has to be a 14g, it's in the 12a housing but it is not the 12a, i've got two of them here in my garage and they WAY smaller in size than the one on the turbo.

But, tune in tomorrow for some awesome pics of the plugs, grab a beer, some Kleenex and be amazed.

But look at those compression numbers, thsoe are out of 140.

And heres the turbo we assume is a 14g. Well the compressor housing and wheel at least.

So needless to say, after replacing the plugs, the rotor, and distributor cap, I now have my top end back, no more back firing, and she pulls like any other Mitsubishi motor. Now I just need some sticky tires on the back, Im having a problem with shifting into 2nd gear under boost and the ass end wanting to break out :):seeya::seeya::seeya:


Oh yeah, and some turtle wax for the win.

And the new tires on the back, and one on the front. Traction seems to be a small issue.

[FattyBoomBatty]

How much boost are you running now?

And don't worry about those compression numbers. (you did do them with the throttle wide open with the other plugs out and injectors unplugged, right?)

Oh yeah, and we're going to convert this bad bitch to wasted spark for about 2 dolla.
