im thinking of buying a ralliart magna as i have a good price for 1


i want to keep it n/a (on my ps) stock its about 0-100 in 7 secs (for the auto i wanna buy)

would the be a way i could possible make it 5.5-6 SECS 0-100

maybe 50 added kw? or is this a pipedream lol?

i wouldnt bother with a magna, the fwd will always limit it

Yet there have been a couple of 11 & 12 second magna's...?

with the right amount of money you can make anything fast. Imo however, there are better cars out there to make fast

manual with LSD would surely be faster?

It's all possible, but it'll depend on how much money you've got to blow.

TZABOY's Ralliart did a high 12 quarter mile - I imagine that'd translate into a mid 5 second dash. That's a result of a rebuild plus a supercharger, if I recall correctly - and he broke it not long after. Or in other words, lots of money and time off the road.

50kw isn't too hard to achieve, but you're not going to get it out of bolt-on mods. A supercharger or a NA build (ala Jason's VRX) would net you 40-50kw at the wheels.

If you're serious about your performance, make sure you get a manual, as the auto saps a fair chunk of performance out of it (over half a sec down the quarter), and I don't think it'd cope with a high-po build either.

A Ralliart is one of the quickest cars you can drive on your Ps... if you're after something ridiculously fast with minimum mucking around, I reckon you'd be better off saving your moolah and buying a XR6 Turbo or a 5.7/6l Commodore once you're on your Opens. If you don't mind the mucking around though and aren't a tight**** like me, you could still have a lot of fun doing up a Magna :)

first mod id do is buy a respectable front bar

manual with LSD would surely be faster?
Manual Ralliart (got LSD iirc) does 0-100 in 6.15 seconds from memory stock, the auto slows it down.

yes cause the vr-x does 7 secs so its faster than vr-x.when i was asking diff between auto and manual, someone said the auto would slow it down by half a sec?
but the lsd is in the manual, the auto only has traction control. 0-100 6.7 secs.

if your on your Ps just enjoy the car for what it is... as ppl have said, for a P plater is a damn quick car

then when your off your Ps and have a bit more driving experience look at selling the car and getting something a bit easier to get 5sec 0-100km runs out of...

only my opinion though.. tza would argue with me no doubt :)

Manual Ralliart (got LSD iirc) does 0-100 in 6.15 seconds from memory stock, the auto slows it down.

0-100 for a manual Ralliart is 6.71 sec, the auto is 7.2.

To find 50kW is going to take a lot of money, but is doable.

Only softies say its all too hard and sell.. why not do it the hard way and make a slow car faster. Much more fun.:)

Have you gone for a test drive? if you havent test drivin it dont look for more power...

i have owned a 13b rx2 12s and shamed to say yes a VL turbo 13.5s. both very quick cars.

i own a 2000 base model TH nothing special and its not fast but its got some good power that any p plater should be happy with. so would say if the rally arts are quicker you will be very happy with the power. also if you do buy it or what ever you buy take it and book in for a course and learn how to drive it... so you dont be come a nice chalk marking on our road.

Buy a 380 & do the same N/A mods I had for around $3.5k & you will have your 40 - 50KW above a ralliart magna.

I like the dare to be different aspect.

However, there's making a car more driveable (like adding a supercharger to a Magna for more torque), and then there's making a car fast.

If a car has to work stupidly hard to go fast, its generally a pain in the rear end to drive (heavy clutch, narrow powerband, lumpy idle, chewing fuel etc).

If you want a fast car get an V8 or Turbo 6 - Gen 3 engine with a flashtune, exhaust, cams, CAI will get a reliable 400kw......

Oh - and its still able to drive miss daisy.

EDIT: P.S You're on your P's - focus on staying alive, not infront of everyone.

http://www.kpmauto.com/tabid/118/Default.aspx

You're lookin at a helluva a lot more than cams/zorst/tune for 400kW out of an LS1.

Turbo 6 is easier to mod to pull up 400kw...In saying that, mate in his Ba xr8 is making 320kws (fly) from intake, zorst and a tune.

MAD, that may be the case...But if you say to someone, "Oh yeah, it making 400 fully sic kw's", more then likely they'll be like "shit yeah dude."

Either way, this guy being on his P's a plain magna can still do 215km/h, and I think that be fast enough.

im in 2 minds here, i get the ralliart magna ..... or i get a vx ss

vx ss i will be driving on my ps (not legal), however im not the type top speed or do anything stupid, and ive never been pulled up by cops (or a ticket or anything) in a good 2 yrs (50,000 kms) of driving

what i rly want is a car that overtakes well, and has plenty of go off the mark AND that looks good, which i think both cars do

the ralliart man, definaltey.. they look better (imo) and are so much less common on the road. im sick of seing commodores everywhere! even though your in a completly different state. Magnas are way underated as anyone on here would tell you.

You would be a fool if you drove a V8 on your P's. Just get the Ralliart they are quick enough.

and probably only the slightest bit slower than a vx ss

vx ss i will be driving on my ps (not legal), however im not the type top speed or do anything stupid, and ive never been pulled up by cops (or a ticket or anything) in a good 2 yrs (50,000 kms) of driving

Bit contradictory there. Out of the two get the Ralliart, will be good fun, be different, look good and be legal. Should be cheaper to insure too.

Worth considering insurance may not payout if you have a crash in a car you aren't legally allowed to drive...

do you really care what it makes at the engine? im not trying to start an argument, but isnt it all about how much ya get to the ground?

Thats a fair call, these were just rough figures given to me by a tuner up in Brissy......

As for what you get to the ground - arnt you having some issues? :P jk lol

Flatshift - the 400kw package has heads, valve springs, gaskets etc Brissy tuner never mentioned heads.....bit strange, perhaps slightly exagerated figures from him.

Not legal means no insurance if you're in a bingle. Not a good idea.

Too true. Get a Magna Exec.

Also dont get me wrong - Magna's are great cars, enough power in many forms, and good at overtaking. Just not an all out performance car IMO, they're great grand tourers.

If you want to go stupidly fast later down the track - get a good RWD platform, and build from there when you're not on your P's. If you want a good reliable car with enough power for most things, get a Magna.

if ya were in newcastle you could come for a spin anytime ya wanted. the vortec on there now isnt to be laughed at but. im upgrading to lower rwkw if ya know what i mean

I know the Vortech kits arnt to be sneezed at, specially with the power yours puts out. Just love Kenne Bell mods - just something so right about them......

where to start: It's possible to gain up to a few seconds or more in acceleration & vastly improve handling with this car with these simple upgrades:
Updating the tyres as the Pirellis P6000 tyres although a above average dry weather tyre (only just by tyrereviews.co.uk) came with the problems that were actually specified as problems with the reviews of this car which were tramlining, axel tramp & torque steer and no matter which way you look at it they are terrible wet weather tyres even on AWD cars.
Within the same brand the latest Pirelli P Zero is a significantly improved tyre providing alot more traction & grip even in the wet or different brands such as Something like Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymetrical 2, Michelin Pilot Super Sport, Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 or Continental ContiSport Contact 5 on 235/45/17 tyres would transform the characteristics of this car and going up to 18 inch 235/40 or 19 inch 235/35 tyres is a good idea as well as the cars lateral G would get much higher.
Next updating the LSD or on the Auto Models adding one as the Ralliart LSD although a very good design is really designed for low torque motors such as the Mitsubishi FTO GPX which only had 200nm when compared to the whopping difference of the Ralliart Magnas 333nm which should further explain the cars tramlining, axel tramp & torque steering nature & going with the Quaife LSD which is utilizing the same design but for higher power outputs is a good idea.
Also on Auto Models Auto as quoted by RPW: Transmission Cooler
We cannot preach this enough on Mitsubishi vehicles. If you have an auto, any model, this should be one of the very first things done to the vehicle. 99% of Mitsubishi transmission failures are as a direct result of the oil being overheated by the lack of factory cooling on the transmission oil. Regular changes every 20,000km should be done regardless on these vehicles. Fitment of an aftermarket transmission cooler, of virtually any design, will improve transmission life and responsiveness by over 100%. The vehicle will shift more consistently, be more reliable and cost a lot less to repair in the future. This is a very easy thing to fit and as you modify the vehicle more, becomes extremely necessary. They are usually mounted in front of the radiator, although RPW has been using the B&M fan cooled units a lot more which have there own thermostatically controlled fan to further improve there reliability.
With these mods the performance of the car will be significantly improved in all areas and it should do a good job of illuminating the problems this car came with as a stock car creating a more reliable car as well and it should utilise the power available much better vastly improving acceleration & handling in these areas.
Check out www.rpw.com.au for 6G75 conversions for further improvements to Mitsubishi Magnas as they specialise with this vehicle.

Rpw are gay, nuff said. Lo Lo

... on 235/45/17 tyres would transform the characteristics of this car and going up to 18 inch 235/40 or 19 inch 235/35 tyres is a good idea as well as the cars lateral G would get much higher.
If handling is what you're after, 235/45/17s on a 7" rim is not a good idea. A better idea would be to find a second-hand set of rims off an older Evo, as they're 17x8", look similar to the Ralliart wheels, and are a perfect match for 235 tyres.

If you went 19", 245/35 is closer to OD, but are not load rated and hence are illegal.


Next updating the LSD or on the Auto Models adding one as the Ralliart LSD although a very good design is really designed for low torque motors such as the Mitsubishi FTO GPX which only had 200nm when compared to the whopping difference of the Ralliart Magnas 333nm which should further explain the cars tramlining, axel tramp & torque steering nature & going with the Quaife LSD which is utilizing the same design but for higher power outputs is a good idea.
I'm yet to hear anyone with a manual Ralliart complain about their LSD. I also don't think anyone has installed a LSD on an auto Magna before?

There's no doubt a Magna would benefit from a LSD, but they're a poor value-for-money proposition.


Check out www.rpw.com.au for 6G75 conversions for further improvements to Mitsubishi Magnas as they specialise with this vehicle.
There have been enough unsatisfied RPW customers on these forums to make me dubious about purchasing from them.

If a 6G75 conversion is what you're after, club sponsors Mits-fix in Melbourne and Unique Mits Bits in Brisbane would be the way to go.

Is mitsfix a sponsor again????

Time to jump on the bandwagon.

1. FFS, don't get a V8 on your P's. You know it's illegal, so why the hell would you do it? Seriously you shouldn't be on the roads because your attitude is "I'll do what I can until I get caught". Sure, you could debadge it, but it only takes one officer to find you out. And then you'll be up in arms "**** da police, they be hatin', targeting P platers boii"

2. As said, FOCUS ON STAYING ALIVE. Buy a VR-X or the Ralliart and spend money pimping it out or something.

3. Or, find a Exec/Advance, and drive it to work and back. Earn money, get a shitload saved up, and when you're on your opens, buy a V8 or whatever.

You've got plenty of time to be a douche later down the track. No one gives a **** what you drive now or how fast it goes.

Is mitsfix a sponsor again????

Have you not read the forum home page?? He's listed as a forum sponsor. From what I see, he may just be a mechanical service sponsor now?
Either way, it's no secret on his access to parts and the widespread magna mechanical knowledge he has.

Red Valdez - I believe LOUD1 was in the process of, or has already fitted an LSD to a magna auto gearbox.

And I think Ers has summed this thread and topic up well enough. The Ralliart is as far strung as the potential of these cars really go before it gets stupidly expensive and the rate of return for investment plummets immensely.
The engine is tuned to just about its peak (only a little more potential) and the suspension doesn't get much better (apart from quality coils). Interior-wise the ralliart magna is kitted out with some of the best features mitsubishi had at the time. It just doesn't get a whole lot better than the ralliart. I'd say it's just about the pinnacle.

Alot of people underestimate these FWD beasts, change the tyres as the stock Pirelli P6000 although they have above average Dry weather grip in all other situations they are quite poor, have a look at www.tyrereview.co.uk but the new goodyear F1 Asymetrical 2 tyres are a very balanced performance tyre but there's also the Michelin Pilot Super Sport or PS2, Continental ContiSport Contact 5 to name a few and going to 18inch or 19inch tyres is a very good idea as the cars Lateral G will get much higher but this should transform your ride by reducing possible torque steer, axel tramp and tramlining and improve acceleration & handling.
Adding a Quaife LSD is also a fantastic idea and don't go for the Ralliart LSD as it's only designed for low torque motors such as the 200nm Mitsubishi FTO GPX but this should further enhance acceleration & handling plus reduce the aforementioned problems.
These 2 upgrades will also improve the reliability of your ride as there will be far less strain on the driveline.
A rpw transmission cooler is a good buy as well as it will improve the reliability of the transmission giving it a much longer lifespan & make the shifts quicker.
RPW also offer a 6G75 engine conversion for $4000 for the same motor in the Mitsubishi 380 with 60,000km on the clock which makes a better base platform for future upgrades, it's a straight swap with no rewiring or expansion needed & it's also a lighter motor so will reduce your cars mass slightly as a stock motor.
There a video of a Mitsubishi Magna Sport doing 13.8 down the 1/4 mile with this conversion done with light modifications.
All the best mate.

Sorry about the 2 posts, but just became a member yesterday and didn't realise it had uploaded my original statements as I got a reply saying it's going to take a few days to be able upload anything.

I actually hadn't talked about the rims but 245/35 on 19" would have to be tested by your local tyre dealer as Ralliart Magnas require low profile tyres otherwise they will not fit and hence as you say will be illegal, it might if you want to find out as I would be curious but it will be expensive for you if it dosen't plus you will need to recalibrate your speedo as it will be out, but stock a Ralliart Magna comes with 17 inch 225/50 Pirelli P6000 just so you know so going to 235/45 on 17s is possible but as you go up in tyre size 18inch or 19inch there will be compromises in spacing but for the 19inch 245/35 the Mitsubishi 380 had the wheel arches increased in size so that might be a option for you.
Check out Autospeed test Ralliart Magna for clarification on the Ralliart LSD but part of improving your vehicle is eliminating weaknesses & my appologies if I offended anyone.
RPW have quite a large fan base of satisfied customers including myself but extra costs from modifications are a necessary part of modifying your vehicle but Mits - fix Melbourne and Unique Mits Bits sound interesting & will look into it.

I have honestly never heard anybody say RPW have quality parts and workmanship but each to our own

They sell Quaife LSDs which are a highly recommended item even if another came out (Next Gen Wavetrac anyone) that surpasses it, it could not match Quaifes success through customer satisfaction & testing in it's current state for quite some time but Quaife have a delay on order of there LSDs unfortunetly (When I ordered it anyway through a chain of tuning houses to see who could get it too me quickest on quote) because of customer demand so I imagine it won't happen anytime soon.
There Twin Turbo conversion has been implemented on more than there own car as well and to be honest we were blown away by how it went (Ralliart Magna Twin Turbo) compared to our modified Holden V8s on the highway and it also went alot further on fuel than our V8s but he did spend about $15000 on it which was the same as our V8s after 1000kms with said modifications, his was street registered too suprisingly. He dosen't use it as a daily driver anymore as thats for his other car but he's done more than 1600km now.

Only a few peoplr have put wavetracs into magnas and none have had any ptoblrms so i dont see how any can be said to be better then the other and a twin turbo magna isnt going to be better then any other FI magna the engine can only handle 6-7psi stock and much more on a 3.5 will cause the car to have much to much power for the drivetrain/ chassis to put to the ground anyway. If i talk anymore i'll just be trying to disagree with you for no reason because i don't get the point you are making lol.

Every second sentence you mention RPW. I can't help but feel you've just cut and paste from their site.
The stuff you're talking about we've been doing well before the dates timestamped on the RPW pages.

If you're chasing a 3.8 conversion, like others have said before me, follow up Mits-fix. I'm very certain you'll get a better price through him. Mal's busting at the seams with information.

Otherwise welcome to the forums. There's a butt tonne of info on here! Enjoy :D

Thanks for the replies everyone.
A bit shocked at the reception about RPW.
But feel free to comment as this is a Ralliart Magna Modification Forum.
No I'm not a RPW rep however I have had good experiances with there service and it's a bit surprising to me that no one else has thats replied yet.
Could I ask what happened to you to hate RPW?
As for the Drivetrain questions the Drivetrain will not handle the power of Twin Turbos by themselves unfortunetly as it will need modifications as well to be able to handle high outputs if you recall my words of having spent $15000 it wasn't just on setting up Twin Turbos unfortunetly.
As for wavetrac it depends on which Wavetrac you use as the latest one is gaining alot of recognition as it activates in areas of handling that no other LSD does and is proving faultless currently (would like to hear more on your friends experiance with it) but the previous gen was known to be problematic and wavetrac would not compensate for the damage that was caused to peoples cars but Quaife cornered the market at this time with their LSD and are now are a more established brand although they are working on a new LSD to counter wavetrac's new LSD.
I mentioned the 3.8 Conversion because the original question was for a NA Ralliart Magna with mods but I try to be diversified where I can but quotes are alot of fun and I've seen so many on this site already plus you shouldn't limit peoples replies.
Has anyone tried doing a 3.8 Mivec Conversion and the results I didn't do it as significant work was required and rewiring plus expansion but curious all the same?
Just trying to answer all questions that come along if my replies are all over the place my appologies but I didn't realise there would be so many fans which is great.

Your replies are welcome, but the fact that you come in and bump a 3 year old post with quotes pulled from a website somewhere, repost them 3 times elsewhere are trying and argue points which have been discussed a million times on this forum is the problem. The problems of RPW have also be discussed in depth, and i would confidently say you will not get one recommendation to buy any product from rpw from any member on this forum anytime soon.

I'm currently running a 3.8 mivec. Was expensive to get it to the point of running, but it's supercharged.

Guys on the club4g forums are getting some real nice numbers on their worked 3.8M engines.. just have to be careful as they tend to bullshit alot.

Mixed reviews of RPW from reading their dealings on the US sites. Most notable on these forums is RPW selling a member a quaife diff, grinding all the quaife details off it and engraving their own on it. They pretty much sold the member a vandalised piece of kit. Other issues with poorly made exhaust manifolds.. Them onselling parts at a greatly inflated price.. After you've paid them, they dont want anything to do with you.

Sounds awesome.

Whats the quickest 1/4 mile you've done?

Ha Ha sounds like RPW have gone broke I haven't had dealings with them recently as my experiance with them was back in 2009 and my friend must have been lucky.
Where did you get your work done?

.

Mate lots of places sell quaife diffs, i wouldnt buy a sandwich from RPW let alone anything else.

Not sure what this nonsense is about the diff being specific to an FTO. As long as the diff is working fine, it is more than acceptable in a high powered V6. In fact, TZABOYS ralliart was pushing upwards of 250kw at the wheels and an unknown large amount of torque and the stock ralliart manual diff coped admirably.

Sounds like a RPW mouse to me, wont last around here long me thinks. Perhaps there is a new cult called RPW

Wavetrek have proven themselves and to say quaffe surpasses them is pure bs. After all when you buy wavetrek you know what you are getting, not being overcharged for an item the seller has ground the part numbers off.

This.

You turned up yesterday and have copy pasted a bunch of stuff from the rpw magna modification guide, among other sites

What a joke... Sounds like rpw may be looking for business lol

i have brought 2 things off RPW and have had issues both time..

First was RPW Extractors. We fitted them and they had a really crap flutter Sound and after speaking to RPW they where very unhelpful. After alot of attempts on the phone i was told they are made in Sydney and I could go see the guys who made them to rectify. Turns out the shop is 30mins from mine so i went there and they said i have 2x Faulty flex joints. They replaced them with better ones and off i went. Was a big hassle and i paid a good price for the extractors so i wasnt happy with the service as it took 4 weeks to get a result out of RPW.

Second item was the Cusco LSD i got off them back in the early days. I was one of the first guys to break one and wasnt that a rather large issue. Became such a problem i brought another box to put in the car after near 3 months of messing around with RPW trying to get parts. After plenty of investigating i found out RPW where getting there stock off a bloke in NZ and he was getting it from Japan. After near 6 months of messing around with RPW and his NZ Supplier i just picked up the phone and rang Cusco japan without even being able to speak Japanese. when they answered i said i am calling from Australia does anybody speak English. They put me on hold the a lady came on who spoke very broken english. She emailed me a parts list and diagram on the diff and told me to email here back what i needed. Long story short 4 days later my parts arrived from Japan at 1/4 the price RPW told me it will cost and 6months quicker then RPW said they can get the parts. I got Parts from japan in 4 days and it would take two weeks to get a return phone call off RPW at times. Incredible.

Thats my experience and i will not support RPW because of it.

RPW don't actually personally make there own products they supply from different brands such as Quaife, haltech, Ralliart & B&M etc and install them.
These products are quite respectable but just order/install them from a different tuning house.
As for the Ralliart LSD they are a very reliable & one of the better LSDs on the Market & it would certainly make a difference & be better in comparison to having no LSD at all however in comparison to a Quaife LSD there is only so much wheelspin they can turn into traction depending on how much power is causing the wheels to spin & in this sence it's where Quaife units have a advantage as there limits in comparison to the Ralliart unit are much higher and it would be a more effective unit for high powered motors as they were used for many years in F1 cars.
I haven't put down wavetrac as there latest LSDs as I stated are being recognised in this departement.

Rpw rep for sure.

RPW used to be quite the active sponsor of this forum, but they burnt that bridge when they lied, supplied sub par quality products for premium prices and then failed to communicate with the customer when an issue arose, among other things too.

This is not only my experience, but the experience of many others on this forum, hence the constant bullying you have copped. I'm happy to see that you had a great experience with them, also happy to see you're overjoyed with the end product.

RPW does not have the greatest name around here.

Wish you all the best with the car mate, don't take this as a scare away from the car club scene, there are MANY clubs out there that will cater to your needs and assist in answering your quesitons.

My recent and absolute last dealing with RPW,

I had a 6G75 installed by a respectable mechanic and then took it to RPW for a live flash tune because i was having a hard time getting a hold of SKR.I decided to give Dave from RPW one last chance,he eventually had one of his workers put the car on the dyno and plugged in his laptop but was unable to write to the ECU oh well i thought so i asked how much a run to establish the air/fuel ratio's would cost to which he fogged me off then after 20 minutes he proceeds to do a power run and tells me ''it's running lean'' then has it taken off the dyno.I figure no real problem i'll get SKR to do a mail order tune as i know he can write to my ECU.

So i was thinking i'd be charged for a power run but no i got to the counter and was handed a bill for $170,he charged me for his failed attempts at writing to the ECU WTF!? he refused to adjust the bill and we had an argument i paid the bill and i let rip and as i walked out i said ''no wonder you've been punched in the head for ripping off customers''

jamsey021 you and your mate sound like wood ducks...Dave loves wood ducks :)

Don't worry about me, its to be expected in this kind of situation & it has happened to me before with a different tuning house that was going broke until they shut down.
But I can't access this site without being a member and just had some things I wanted to know anyway & information to share before I looked around.
But hopefully I haven't given administration too much work and if I have my apologies.
