Mitsubishi L300 Express with 4G63T motor.

[BallinTillDeath69]

I WANT ONE LMFAO

[jialunjiao]

lol bad ass van ! very nice funny too

[ThroneDrei00]

how much space do i have to make in order to fit 4g63 engine...it would help me alot to know?

[TERRAOperative]

@ThroneDrei00

On an early model, like we used, you'll need to cut the firewall and extend it back about 3-4 inches. If it's a later model, the firewall has this clearance from factory and the engine will pretty much bolt straight in.

Also, if you turn the turbo around so the exhaust outlet is facing the rear, it will make the dump pipe MUCH easier to make and fit.

[ThroneDrei00]

@TERRAOperative What kind of transmission do you have or didi u use? and do you where i can find it?

[TERRAOperative]

@ThroneDrei00 We used the stock gearbox, but had to get a custom clutch IIRC as the spline count on the input shaft was different to the car the engine came from. Any decent clutch workshop will be able to sort something out.

[selfishsound]

got the same swap man good fun haha. curious to what bov your using?

[TERRAOperative]

@selfishsound It's an ebay special from memory

[ThePirman]

i have delica l300, year1990.. how much cost to built up the engine + turbo?? is it can fix??

[ThePirman]

can i put turbo on stock engine??

[sweetfa09]

nice!

[brandong17]

reminds me of swift and shift couriers

[tenshiMijah]

is there lots of wheel spin? have you tried power sliding it :D

4im trying to fool around with the "family van" :D

[TERRAOperative]

Lots of wheel spin. It has an open diff, so it's pretty much undriveable in the wet.... A limited slip diff is a must.

[tenshiMijah]

i have the l300 van, im planning to that also so that it would not be boring, how bout the tranny and shafts? is this a bolt on swap?

[TERRAOperative]

Pretty much a bolt in swap. There is a bit of custom fabrication to be done though, mainly with intake and exhaust. If you have an early L300, you will have to extend the firewall back to fit the engine. The later models already have this extra space as standard. We extended ours in half a day with a sabre saw, sheet metal and a welder.

The block is the same, so the actual fitment is a piece of cake.

[TERRAOperative]

As for the gearbox, it bolts directly up, but we had to stuff around with the flywheel and spline count on the input shaft on the gearbox. A small play around with clutches (easy to sort out) fixed that issue.

[hollgries]

I have a Kia Pregio 2.7 diesel, what's the best motor fit and also do you know of anyone that could assist me.

[TERRAOperative]

I wouldn't have a clue. I personally wouldn't touch a Kia with a 10 foot pole.

Especially for a turbo engine swap, the body is flexible enough as it is, the chassis and suspension just wouldn't cope with the power, let alone the drive train.

[TERRAOperative]

Because we can.

There is nothing that is not awesome about an L300 Express that beats FTO's from the lights.

Tried and tested.......

[TH3Omaster]

why would you do this to crappy van?

[exploringtv]

this is not a crappy van. I love vans. I dont think vans are crappy

[MrPercy83]

get it off the road poo dung

[haydenmaoriboy]

mean! got a L300 van aswell with 4G63 turbo engine aswell, the works done to, does good skids lol and love passing people with the external screaming in their ear!!! good times!!

[23stiffy]

hey mate looking to do the same thing ay just wondering if there are any annoying lil things about the transplant that would help me

[exploringtv]

its gonna be very difficult man. just be glad you have a van

[pinger56]

u will never be late to school if it is school van...

[Preacher247]

lol i love it!!

[007bondspy]

With this engine configuration, being mid engined does it not make for cooling problems with the turbo ??

[mr3ggroll]

OH FUCK OWNAGE RIGHT THERE

[Smokin528]

awesome,, but definitely needs some more mods!

i had an 89 galant vr4 with cheap china t3/4 hybrid and stainless xspower manifold and that thing ran 12's..

the van would be sick with external gate!!!

[Vikturus22]

I got a 89 L300 With a Non Turbo stock standard 4g63 Evo Spec WEWT!

[smithythefierce]

how the fuck did u manange a N/a Evo spec motor...

[Vikturus22]

There were 9000 1989 Fitted with the Rare 4g63 evo spec for Trial

[calcatchem]

rofl that is an awesome swap. don't care for the wheels, little flashy with the swirl design but WOW! DSM power!!!

[clutch0514]

lol isnt the engine under your driver's seat? if it is, i bet it feels strange having a turbo under there.

[Nigelmalibu]

should put an external on it, externals on 4g63t's sound mint imo

[SonicThaHedgehogg]

man thats sick! i wana do this to my l3 ive been lookin for a vid of the 4G63 in one for ages... theyr pretty hard to come by cheap in new zealand arent they

[spunit2nd]

Ive got a 89 l300 with the same conversion its pretty simple looks good with a big front mount too!

[andrewskyline]

lol i'd drive it!

[TERRAOperative]

It is in the stock configuration for the L300, using the stock gearbox (It's pretty tough). We had a little stuff around with the input shaft for the gearbox, just count the number of splines and get a clutch to suit (we used an Excedy clutch) I can't remember what flywheel we used though.

[TERRAOperative]

The A/C was removed, still to see if we can squeeze it in. Also the engine mounts required a tiny bit of trimming (about 1/2 a 5 cent piece worth).

Some pipework for the coolant lines was bent up to suit the new orientation and custom plumbing was made too.

[wayniac57]

hey terra how much mods were done to fit this motor in?

[sigmademon]

if yes that u made it in-line and rear drive,what tranny did u use? im having a few problems with my inline rear drive conversion

[sigmademon]

dude, terraops, did u place the engine in-line and made it rear drive?

[suprarx7civic]

I love it when the turbo sings...

[camoyotar]

phat van bro , am dwn in the wellys n dnt see sumfn like this very often being a vr4 owner myself,chur

[TERRAOperative]

Husband? We are both male and single.

Husband?

What?

[citizensmith2007]

That's a lovely car, what does your husband drive?

[trikzlane]

sorry to hassel u but, could u make a quick vid of the engine bay and stuff

[TERRAOperative]

I'll try. I'm not in regular contact with the guy we built it for, so it may be a while...

[TERRAOperative]

It's the twin cam engine from the VR4 Galant.

The old engine ended up full of stale beer, cigarette butts and Powerade...

[poocrapq]

is it a twin cam or SOHC 8 valve 4g63 (the engine the car came with)

[TERRAOperative]

The block is the same, but the head is different. There are minor other differences, like the spline count on the output shaft etc. But the block itself is a direct bolt in.

This engine was actually from a VR4 Galant.

Oh, it has since been retuned to output 213Kw at the wheels, and there is still improvements to be made...

[fairyd0ll]

is that the motor they come out with but turboed
