ages ago it was posted that a v8 engine was made by mitsubishi..i think its engine number was like 8080a or somthing and was able to be put in a 3rd gen for memory. well now i cant find it and am wonder what the actual car was that is came out in. the car was not avalible in aust. but im wanting to import the engine as it might be an ok swap.... i used search function but to many items came up so hopefully some1 will remember thanks...

the only mitsu v8 i could find is on the new raider ( USA ) its a 4.7L V8
its SOHC and only developes 171kw at 4600rpm and 394Nm torque at 3,600rpm

"The engine is rated at 177 kW (240 hp) at 5500 rpm and 343 N•m (253 lb•ft) at 2500 rpm on a 10.4:1 compression ratio."

It came from the JDM Proudia, it was an optional motor. It's GDI as well. Also you'll have an EXTREMELY hard time finding one and the cost will outweight the benefits without a doubt.

177kws....
tj vrx v6 is 163kws...

sounds like a lame v8 to me
having said that it would no doubt respond better to mods than our v6's

A V8 with so little power? I bet with some breathing mods and some ecu work it'll be putting out a lot more than that.
Put it in my car and I'll get custom plates "GT WL SP" or "WHL SPN".
An AWD might be better but I dunno how much power the autos will take.

Thats not the right power rating.

I remember something about sulphur levels and GDI engines not liking the fuels that we have available in australia.

Also aren't the RON levels higher in Japan? Expensive fuel + V8 = huge running costs!

Aftermarket computer and a retune for Boost 98 would keep it from getting insane.

I say get a 380 motor, bored and stroked to 4L heads and cams and hold on for the bloody ride.

That Chrysler motor sux. Typical big dozey Yank motor. Btw, the teaser advert for the Raider is worth a smile ;)

There are a lot of V8 FWD yank tanks with lower outputs than our 6G74s!

Another prob is the added weight over the front of the Magna - which is already on the heavy nosed side of things.

some cadilacs for example are FWD V8's i think

Stallone's black Seville in Get Carter for eg.

Wouldn't that help in the traction stakes?

Sure, cornering gets scary thou.

Or you could some how fit an LS1 in the engine bay rofl!

ok. thanks heaps how much am i looking at. for the 8a80 engine , manual gearbox, ecu (aftermarket one). full exhaust. and CAI.engineers certificates. i think my main problem is sourceing the v8. can any1 segest a better v8 that would fit on without major mods?
-thanks

Also, you probably have to upgrade your brakes and suspension

You'll have the hardest time finding one I can guarantee it. And I cant imagine you getting one for less than 5-6k to be honest and that's just a guess. You'll be up for ****loads because there's bugger all of them around and you'll have to get it imported and any shop will charge you a fortune. That's just the engine.

Spend 5-6k on what you have now, you'd be better off. Or save and buy another car lol It just won't be worth it

What engine do you have now?

you forgot the 6 speed :bowrofl:

hmm yeh i live in adelaide. and dont know where to start to look for the engine. any1 got any ideas of ppl who might b able to get 1 for me

My advice is dont waste your time.

Get a set of extractors a full exhaust, K&N pod in a Ez-boy box with a 100mm CAI, RPW plenum with ramtubes, insulator spacers, Ezboy 70mm TB, a set of cams and a aftermarket computer. that should see you punching into the range of the V8's power.

All that will run you up to about $4000 and save you alot of headaches.

Hunt it out tho. If you do manage to get one, install it and have a car that isnt a pig to drive in the end, Ill eat my words. Ichiban engines would be your best bet. I think they are in S.A too.

v8 fwd,

nose heavy, too much for the front wheels

drivablity: craptacular

however, highly interesting

Yeah, for 98% of driving. I was just thinking (dreaming) of at the strip :D

ue live in adelaide ye? go down to the mitsi factory and see wat they say

They'll probably tell you a bunch of crap like they told me. I was told the DOHC had completely different engine mounts and it would never fit.

:nuts:

hmm yeh ima givem a call l8r today and ill c what they can do.. i was thinking of FBI(four brothers imports) and JMS (japanese motorsport) we will c

how sweet would it be to hear a v8 in a magna

people would be hell surprised to hear a magna at the lights going bur bur bur

MAIN PROBLEM FINDING THE ENGINE..gggrrrr :doubt:

JMS shut down a while ago mate

if your looking for an engine...


3.65 Ltr Engine - will bolt straight into a magna
8.1 to 1 compression
24V
No ECU
complete engine
Built for S/C
has only have Dyno time

how much

Sorry Syn, just updated the specs...
i'll get a price for ya when i get home, i had lots of pics also !

y is there website still up then? (sorry if i sound sarcastic) but yeh... kinda stupid if they r

Vahoumis Brothers used to own it, i thought they shut it down....seems they were baught out !

thats good news, although i doubt Denzo is still their, and he know's his ****

if your looking for an engine...
What's it from?

It's from Mitsubishi.

an Experimental engine that was built for S/C or Turbo charging.

JMS shut down a while ago mate
i think it has been re opened in different location and under a new owner now , its what ive heard anyways

In reference to the weight of the engine, it would have hardly any problem as it only weighs an extra 10kg. It will also bolt straight up to the transmission.

What would be nice is dropping the new 5.7lt HEMI engine found in the Chrysler 300C.
mmmm, Hemi!
