No, it faces the wrong way for the gearbox to connect

Too fast.

The GTO is mounted with the gearbox connecting to the left (I thinK) while the Magna connects to the right.

would it fit in a 2nd gen as it faces a different way to a 3rd gen

i had a gto in at work and the motor was on the drivers side it had the 2 ltr in it

think you would be meaning an fto in that case... its motor would make your car slower.

there's a gto motor in my engine bay (2nd gen) and thats the only orientation the gto used.

Yes, GTO motors will have have been put into 2nd gens.
AFAIK No GTO Motors will fit into a 3rd gen but prove me wrong eh

Try a Mitsubishi Eclipse engine?

meh just go 6A13TT ;)

meh just go 6A13TT ;)


Thats the one :thumbsup:

best engine conversion to go for if you have a 3rd gen!!!

Lets just pray he trades in his front bar and bonnet for that engine conversion.
Sorry but its hideous...just my op

Nah im with ya there tuffy, to ricey for me, but the 6A13TT should make that kit a little more appealing, especially with a massive FMIC popping out the front!!

Good luck finding someone who'd trade it lol

Check out these guys http://www.adelaidejap.com.au/mitsubishi.htm

I would have at least 5K spare, even more when it comes to install and engy cert!!

if you're serious pm me and i mean deadset serious (think min 4k$ doing all the work yourself)... there was a massive thread in the 2nd gen section that kb wrote and i added to. Dimi i think will be writing a new one post his conversion.

Theres DOHC Engines about 5 mins away from me. Wants $500 a pop (Yes you heard right) but they dont have a wiring loom....or something along those lines

6A13TT wont bolt onto the gearbox

6A13TT wont bolt onto the gearbox

Im sure ive seen it done though?
Would an adaptor plate or something be needed?

Can i use the loom from the SOHC? Also, i'd need to strengthen the gear box, cos it's a six cyl right? Hmm... this looks like an expensive venture.

As above

hayden was doing it but he had an awd imported

There was a 3rd gen wagon flying around with one in it, someone on here actually spoke to the owner one day cant remeber who it was.

But i was also told that a new gearbox is required, so im not sure what the hell they did but it was done none the less.

Anything can be done with enough time and money, ie rear wheel drive, v8, suiside doors, etc:badgrin:

Wasn't there a third gen wagon with a Galant/Legnum engine in it?

Refer to my post above please sir....lol

Yeah what ever happened to Hayden?

He also had 20's and Evo brembos.. Last time I talked to him (cruise to murwilambah) he had the 6A on the boat coming down..

He didn't import a working AWD for those of you at home, he imported the front and rear cuts and installed the gear into a TE or something he had lying around.. 20's on a magna with stock suspension.. The term 'Rock Hopper' comes to mind..

why would u spend that much on a car when u could take that, sell your car and buy something better and faster...ok uniqueness is a factor....but if u wanna be unique - u dont have to remortgage your house to do it.

why dont you import the 6g72TT Mivec DOHC engine, out of a 3000GT much easier, as it is the same engine basically. still the 3.0L engine as the magna, but just with different compression ratios, and a DOHC MIVEC head on it, with ofcourse twin turbo. or just get a set of the turbo exhaust manifolds, off it and bolt it onto your engine, with 2 turbos, you should be able to run 5 or 6PSI with no problems, with stock internals.
and i see that your are running an aftermarket ECU, you should be able to connect up a duel throttlebody on the left side of the intake manifold, as the stock ECU's cant run two MAF sensors

I WANT THIS MOTOR, where can i obtain said engine?

Ring up import wreckers man

By the way Arn't all 3000GT's motor's orientated for a 2nd gen.
i.e. the 6G72TT DOHC will fit in a 2nd gen

Just did a google search, all of them are orientated for a 2nd gen...

Yea but who are a good one that deals with a fair amount of mitsu stuff and will know what im on about?

Wont happen dude. To much money to be spent there.

Dont bother turboing, supercharging or N/A work, no point, just buy a car that's already got the potential and aftermarket goods cheaply.

AMEN to that.
