-----UPDATE------ Truck Sold-------New truck on page 9-------

Welcome to my tribute to the underpowered Mitsubishi Mighty Max pickups(88hp). Under the hood lurks the turbo 4G63 DSM motor. The truck is dropped 2" up front with CT drop spindles and 2" blocks in the rear. The wheels are 16x8 Boyds with Dunlop tires. This project was on my mind since I bought the truck it and finally it has been completed, well sorta!! The Swap is fairly easy since it uses a Similar Mitsu motor. Some people say the wiring is hard but I found it fairly easy, And fun! Im an Electronics Tech. Read Jeremy's and Wayne's pages in the links provided,

Engine Mods are as follows:
-K/N filter
-3" intake pipe
-2.5 intercooler pipes
-Volvo 740 Front mount Intercooler
-2.5" 02 Eliminator
-2.5" exhaust with straight thru magnaflow
-huge Bosch fuel pump
-Removed balance shafts
-NGK BPR6ES copper plugs
-ACCEL Thundersport 3000 plug wires, (very low resistance)

I used the gauges and Steering Wheel out of the Laser. All gauges are functional but most warning lights are bypassed

when doing a swap like that is it easier to reuse the original gauge cluster from the truck or use the cluster from the motor your swapping. im thinking of swapping a 7mge into a toyota but dunno how hard its gonna be
