Howdy gentlemen,

Has anyone thought of getting a droptank made to fit the current body Magnas? or even a fake one to get the looks? i was thinking about it the other day, and even making a second take to hold some really wild petrol (to use only while racing 8) ) and having a switch to turn from the standard tank to the proformance tank? i spose its possible so do anyone know who make take care of this sorta job?

NOS:
Howabout getting a boot load of NOS? lol.. that would be wild.. i was just wondering, what sorta work is needed to get, say the 3L v6 hooked up with NOS? Enginerebuilds? or is it a fairly straight forward application (not that id do it myself :? )


Cheers,
Benji.

A drop tank you would have to get custom made and would cost you a fair bit for what real purpose? The fuel idea would work but would be kinda costly to do as you would most probobly need a sperate fuel pump etc

A NOS kit would be good if you run a low shot like 25-40hp tops. Installation isn't to bad but i wouldn't reccomend installing it youself. We'll be stocking nos kits soon :D

SO, you think youd be able to run say, a max 40hp shot without any serious engine upgrades (ie, rebuilding etc etc.)

What sorts of cost are involved in getting a kit fitted, say 40hp? Is it legal to have a NOS fitted? i read somewhere you are allowd to carry it, but not use it, or wired up? wot da.....

How about taking the spare wheel bay, cut it flat, then mount a drop tank.. yer, may sound like a lot of coc to you city slickers, but for us territorians (me anyway) having the ability to travel long distances (1500km, Alice to Darwin) which i do quite regulary, having an extra 70km would mean i could save an easy hour on refuel stops.. less stops, travel further, travel faster! = Saving Time...


Benji.

NOS is legal to have however your not allowed to have it hooked up on the road. Also you insurance company will cruisify you if they found out you have NOS hooked up. Have to be careful, its ok if you don't have it hooked up, if you have an accident just take the bottle out of the car.

But you need to be very careful when it comes to insurance, don't give them a reason to decline your cover.

How much extra would it way? Ud want sum chronic power output to get it going with a whole extra tank of petty !

NOS...well its the shit! id LUV a tank...how much u goin 2 stock it for blake? n what size bottles? Full setups?

Tanks will be availible in three sizes, small med and large.

They will be full kits.

More info soon.

4got to add my bit bout drop-tanks as well...

itll look ok...maybe as the magna rear is sorta raised from the rest of d body...

but drop-tanks belong on toranas and dog-box touring cars! :wink:

How do you know that?

Maybe i might turn my magna into a 'dog box touring car'

It would be bout time we saw one of them on a track, dont you reckon 8)

"MAGNA RACING TEAM" so the Mitsubish version of the Holden Racing Team (HRT) would end up like, MRT :lol:

hehe, any people wit lots of money, you know a spare 2mil? id be more than happy to start a V8 Magna series going, and showing those fords and commohores what racing is all about :P

[quote:4835307cb9]How do you know that? [/quote:4835307cb9]

what bit? They belong on old toranas n dog-box touring cars? Casue they do! Its a beefy V8 thing, they where used yrs n yrs ago...where they belong! magnas a V6 (or 4cyl) we need somthing of our own!

Dont think ull b able to use MRT...its already a company who make sum very nice products for rally...WRX in perticular!

OI! whos' side are you on :lol:

trust me dude...if i eva won a good amount in the lotto id get a magna into the V8 seris sumhow! i wouldnt car how much it cost!

But reality is...mits dont have enough $ to even think about that sorta idea! wish they did thow!

thow darrel McBeth will have his V8 RWD 2door magna will be ready this yr!

thatll b sik as to c!

:cry: I WANT ONE! A GOLD ONE :wink:

You could run a nitrous system in the magna no problems at all, standard engine will take one hundred [100] horsepower with two [2] degree's of [ignition] timing taken out of it on the hit. Anything more than that will take pistons and a few other nick nats that you've already been told about in the engine build-up. It's my opinion that you'll also need to make a rear muffler change before using it.

ARE YOU SERIOUS!!! 100HP OF NITROUS!!!

HEHEHHEHEHEHE, Everyone, im just about to announce my next mod!!!!

:twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

MUH HA HA HA HA HA!!!!

"BOOYA"

my god gold magna is hooked on NOS.

Well if hard head says you can run 100hp shots he knows what he's talking about. I wouldn't put my motor though that much punishment but if your game go right ahead, would love to see the result.

hate to let u in on a secret - how hard is it for u to spin your wheels GBM??

now imagine throwing another 100hp instant shot into that!! traction?? hmm, not likely - that is why i dont like the idea of the TT kit - yeah it will be fast - if it gets off the line!!

i am just a little pessimistic about it sorry!!

Manual

I agree with manual, off the line stock power is hard enough to keep the wheels from spinning. Add further mods and it gets even harder, throw in TT's or NOS and goodluck.

These types of systems would only be good when your up and running, say from 40km/h onwards, even then you'll probobly still spin the wheels.

Thats why my motor is staying stock until i trade it in for a Manual AWD Magna and im going to going skitz on it, be warned power outputs won't be sane on my next ride :mrgreen:

hell yeah - TT and NOS on a AWD - bring it!!

but on the FWD - i have 225's on the front - stock engine bar a rear muffler change and it will break traction when giving it shit in 2nd - take 1st easy - bang it into second - and as she reaches about 4.5K it will just loose it everynow and again!!

in the rain the other day - 2nd gear turning right at the lights - slid across 3 empty lanes - well there was a bit of gas involved - but i dont like it!! (not really) prefer to drift it!!!

was gonna get a S13 and work it but they are just too common now!! same engine different shape - half the weight!! something different!!

Manual

Fellas Fellas Fellas!!!

Where is the commmon sense in using the NOS b4 you drop your clutch?

no no no!!! id use it once im already off the line.. say from third gear up?? doesnt that make more sense? Geezzz.... no way would i engage NOS before i was moving!!! Id sure be changing CV joints every 1,000 KM!!! NO NO NO.. NOS would be for a rolling start, once im off the line...

"BOOYA"

i reckon u will find that even off the line it will be a huge traction problem - but there is only one way to find out!! hahahaha!!

be good for the drags - yeah i wouldnt wanna use it before 3rd!!

Manual

Drags is all id be using it for!!!

id also get a pro to build a WILD AS setup in the boot to show it off :lol:

Los of Neons and Gages... maybe a computer with some wild graphcs just to top it off.. :P

Definately traction wouldn't be too wonderful. How about a progressive system...? or a Jakobs Mastermind nitrous controller [cheaper way of doing it], it's only money, come to think of it Blake will be stocking it soon, put an aussiemagna decal on the rear window and he'll probably be wanting to spot you a system... :D Remember the ignition timing thing.

I tell you what blake...

if you 'gave' me a 100hp NOS system... lets put it this way... The rear window is yours... ;)

Oh, id even enlist it in every single car show accross the nation, you pay for freight ;)


"BOOYA"

im soon to be dishing out Aussie Magna decals which look exactly like the above logo onto of the nav bar which will go accross either your back or front window.

Also will be giving away shirts to people who want them.

hardhead, hows your project magna comming along?

It's got, what will be, the chassis rails sitting under it, and the rear end is finished. I'm at home [Tamworth] at the moment, while I'm here I want to pick up some heim ball joints for the rear suspension, my half Bro is organising them and most of the fiddley gear for me. It's happening just not overnight.

keep us informed mate. If you get the spare time how bout starting a threat with what you plan to do and what your up to.

I myslef and im sure every other magna owner in Aus would be very curiouse to hear what you have planned.

who was that directed at?

Sorry should be more specific, i was reffering to hard head.

Fellas, i have a question with NOS.

How does it work as far when you inject it.. for example, if i had a large bottle of NOS, when i flick the switch to feed the NOS into the engie, what is a 'hit'.

what im trying to get at is, is a hit the full contents of a bottle?
or does it only last say, 5seconds? and if its a time things, like 5 seconds, does this mean that there is say, more than one 'hit' in each NOS bottle? like can i 'hit' nos more than once?

:mrgreen:

"BOOYA"

there are on average about 8-14 hits in a bottle, it depends how long you use your hit for and the size of your bottle.

i once heard of a guy in a civic with Vtec using nos...
wouldnt touch the button until his was on a freeway...give a hit n be litraly slammed into his seat...same as when bein in a GTR....you cant lean forward 4 *** all!!! :) that would b d SHIT!!!

my next magna (AWD Manual) will be one quick motha ******

My current car is going to be phat, my next car is going to be quick.

Its dead simple.

Errr.. Blake, i hate to break this to ya, but, there is NO option for a Manual tranny.. it cant be done, not even if you paid to get it converted.. i read somewhere that there is just NO room for any other tranny...

sorry man.. however it is a sad day for all magna owners alike :cry:

"BOOYA"

From what i've heard places and dealerships the new TK magna (apparently thats what its gonna be... :? ) will be using the 3.5 fwd. Apparently Mitsu won't be releasing the 3.8 for another few years.

However this new TK magna will have the AWD option with both a manual and automatic trans... God please make this happen!

3.8!!! Pffft... that sux.. we need a 5L RWD V8!!!!


V8 300kw Magna... mmmmm... *pool of drool forms on the floor*
MSV - Mitsubishi Special Vehicles
MSRAD - Mitsubish Special Ralli Art Division ....

MMM>> Ralli///Art division....

"BOOYA"

Imagine working for ralliart.... oooohhhhh baby!

If i died then my it wouldn't be a tragedy, i would have done everything i ever wanted to.

Mmm... Ralli /// Art....

I wonder if they need any MCSE's working in their department... hehe.. id jump outta my 2 year contract quicksmart if it ment i could get a job with RalliArt... just imagine... mmmmm....
I Cant live like this much longer!! :cry: i want a job with Ralli Art :cry:

"BOOYA"

I dont think that they arent fitting a manual trans because of the room - it is because they dont know how to mate it to the AWD system - a manual trans is smaller then an auto trans - but because the trans is an adapted FWD trans to make if 4wd - they cant apparently fit the manual in the same way?? dunno why - every other car company can - i mean even the lancers are 4wd (evos and GSR's) so how come we cant get the new magna AWD in a manual - not gonna get one if it isnt manual!!

Manual

Lately i've changed my perspective on things.

My next car will most probobly be a Verada AWD Manual hopefully if not triptonic which i will lower to its ass and put on a nice set of rims and do a few small things to the engine and exhuast which will be my daily driver.

Im looking into a kit car to feed my performance hunger which i will drive on weekends and when the weather is nice. I really want to build my own car.

hear hear - me to blake - but i cant wait for hte new AWD magna - my TH is good enough for an everydayer as it is - wish i could put these wheels onto but the 4K on wheels and lowering srpgins would make a great start to the kit car!!

maybe after hte kit i will look into it - or even half way through - getting paid monthly has its up and downs - up - nice big numbers into the account - downers - making it last a month!!! if i can find out what engines i can use - the time it takes to import it from japan maybe i can afford to spend a bit on rims!! haha - but i wont be goin any smaller then 18x7 on 225's!! 225's will be fine as i am not doing power changes to the engine - so the traction will be ok!! i just want a little btter handling!! which is where the suspension comes into play - oh no - i think i may have the mod bug!! nooo, there goes all my money!! ahahaha - hmmm, I think i may be goin a little crazy!! too much coffee for me - 3 double espressos - hmm, that'll do it!!

Manual

The reason the AWD Magna hasnt been offered with a manual transmision (yet) is because there is no manual transmission in Japan to suit the AWD Diamante - its a luxury car and thus needs no manual (according to their logic). FWD, RWD, and AWD gearboxes are significantly different (as far as i know) and so instead of waiting till the manual box was developed, they decided to release the car as an auto, and introduce a manual with the facelift.
