What kind of engine?

[Jet Black]

Anyone know what kind of engine is the 9G using? I mean I know its 3.8L and MIVEC. But is it based on the 6G72 at all? Also anyone else as anxious as I'am to race the 9G's v6 against the 8G's v6? https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif

[MidNightRacing]

Im waiting to spank a 9g just like i spank the 8g's :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Hehe Kho's slupry's are gay. Come to my store, we have the bombest slurpys around. :wink:

BTW Are you using any type of FI? Cause if not then I really doubt you can beat a 8g v6.

Yes its 'loosely' based on the 6G72 meaning the basic block is similar but it has been adjusted for the increase in displacement.

Btw the engine code is 6G75 and 4G69

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(04 GTS)</div><div class='quotemain'>can't wait. Â*:twisted:</div>

I can after seeing that weight-to-power ratio. Makes me want to cry. Mitsu took a step forward, and 2 steps back (quoted of some other user).

[jusmills]

do you think that the 9G will be faster than the current 8Gs--hp in the GTS is like 230 vs 195 for GTZ--but the weight--damn--mitsu needs to get away from heavy ass cast iron blocks--try aluminum--that would be a good idea and save like 300-400 lbs...hmmm

[jusmills]

sorry for the double post--but what I think would be really hot is if Mitsu stop punkin out and stop making me-to products barely matching the other Japanese manufactures (Honda/Nissan/Mazda (kinda)) and did something different like putting going on a limb--designing a car then putting a class leading engine in it. Up the anty alittle, kinda like what Nissan/Infiniti did with M45 (even though the car IMO is kinda plain looking) the engine--lawd--the engine is ridiculous 340 hp 333ft/lbs torque V8--makes those Lincoln LS V8 drivers sick to their stomach... https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif

[BXNYMitsu01]

Then your talking about Mitsubishi making a car that will cost around $40,000 base. And only rich boys would get them.

[BlueESV6]

I was at a dealership tonight and a salesman (if you believe him) said the 3.8 was the same engine that the Montero uses. It has a lot of torque built in at the low end of the rpm spectrum. I think he was saying 260lbs at around 1500 rpm's!!

So basically it sounds like it really launches but can it keep up that pace or does it fall flat??? It looked all right in person. I thought it was the new Diamante when I first saw it.

[RedGalant2k1]

Just an update.

MotorWeek TV tested the GTS.

It ran a 15.3@93mph. Thats over a second faster than the 8G GTZ.

[krazienluv10]

wow 15.3 hmmm i wanna see this thing in action... :twisted:

[Mante]

Im seriously disappointed with mitsu USA as usual we get the pitiful cars. a 3.8L with a pitiful output of power. Yes that serious amount of torque will get it off the line but it will fall flat around 125mph mark my words. Weight issues: a 9g DE weighs almost 300 lbs more then my JDM vR4 but only puts out 160 bshp...something is wrong with that picture. Mitsubishi still insists of sohc motors, yes it makes changing the timing belt a breeze but damn they should squeeze every amount of power out of it.

Is the 9gen in the category with the nissan altima, honda accord v6 or something equivalent? I mean if it is omg the 9th gen may be the shortest production galant ever produced. Here in Maryland between two heavily traveled dealerships I literally live at the lot is full of the 9th gen, no they have not been restocked its literally the same cars that were shipped back in october. One of the top salesman sold two since there release....He can sell gas to a gas station attendent with out breakin a sweat heh so with that said prepare to comfort the new 9 gen owners cause there going to catch hell...

[HaloAngel]

Hi all, I work at Kline Mitsubishi in MN. (www.klineautoworld.com) and well, to anser your question, it is the Edeavor's 3.8L V6 MIVEC engine inside the big V6 Models (LS, GTS) as the DE, ES still runs on a 2.0L I-4 MIVEC with about 160bhp. The V6 runs at a more powerful 230 hp 250lbs-ft of torque, 3.8-liter, V6 engine, Sportronicâ„¢ 4-speed transmission with Adaptive Shift Control and clutchless manual shift mode, 4-wheel disc anti-lock brakes (ABS) and traction control.

The leading competitors of the Galant, will be the Altima, Accord, Camry, and Mazda 6. So far, all I know is that the Galant compares closest to the Altima. While not having as much full HP, it carries more torque then the Altima. The Accord carries a more historical badge, but the new Galant not only carries more torque, it carries more shoulder room on the front and rear. As for the Camry, the Galant loses in space, but power and suspension tuning are over come with the Ralli-art inspired RISE Chassis (Refined Impact Safety Evolution) which is also used on the current Evolution VIII. Front Independent Suspension with MacPherson Struts and a Rear Multi-Link Suspension with Coil Springs and s front upper strut stabilier bar.

Honestly, just test drive one yourself and see what can come along in your OWN opinion. Right now, Mitsu plans on a FULL LAUNCH of advertisements for the 9th Galant starting Jan. 1, 2004. As of now, there are no deals for the 04 Galant except for previous/current Mitsu owners ($1000 back) and a possible 4.9% APR. At this time, Mitsu offers a Bumper to Bumper 3yr, 36k mile warranty, 5 yr 70k mile corrosion, and a 7yr 100k mile warranty on drivetrain....

any questions, feel free to contact me...

I don't get it...What's so hard about taking out an 8G V6? I do it all the time.

[The 99 Galant]

lol....gotta love scoot, well TOO DAMN BAD THE 9G'S ARE UGLY AS THEM FAT PEPOPLE IN PHILLY'S CRACK ARE. The 8G was the galants finest looking lines I've ever seen. It was a Euro look with definitive and distinct lines. I mean damn you can't beat an 8G with a liberal grill, lowered, 17s, Euro side markers, and a nice paint job. You hardly had to buy anything extra to make them look down right classy and kick all,really just get rid of the stock grill adn get a JDM or mod the factory one and you got a different look to the car. I mean take a look at Mirko or Impacts Euro G's on sounddomain and tell me those are some nice looking G's and they really didn't do too much exterior modding. And any Vr-4 Sedan looks great. And no no other year G is going to ever have that good of looks no matter how much modding you do. IMO the older G's look to much like a ricer car to me. And too bad the 9G is a fat assed car that weighs too much, looks to big, and doesn't capitolize on the 8G's looks. I mean them headlights are the ugliest of any car out there. Its a failed Caddy look. IMO all import manufactors have screwed up because all the new cars are ugly. The 98-2001 Accord was awesome, the 96-2001? maxima was nice, the RX-7 was so much better looking than the new RX-8. What the heck are them crazy asians doing!!! I'm planning on doing a project car once i get my car paid off and I'm using the 8G as my platform because its the best looking sedan outside of Europe, sorry BMW M3 or MB SL55 beats it out. o and the new 9G engine oes do better than an 8G and will more than likely have more aftermarket support if there's enough interest due to the MIVEC feature. Also the mirage engine is getting more attention than the G right now. Older year Mirages and have been able to swap out for the new MIVEC engines.

midnight racing's car is slow...and an 8G v6 would spank the shit out of it...personal account. im the one who raced brian (vtec killer at galantforums) after he did his 8g 4 cyl 5 speed swap and took him by 3 cars and all i have is custom 2.5 inch catback and injen short ram...midnight has auto with not much done and no FI...the result would in the least be equal.

Men... I tried driving this 9G Galant on snow and it is not fun anymore. The car is so heavy and the stock tires don't stick even I accelarate really slow. The powerful disk brakes with no abs makes it more harder to stop the car. Men... I miss my 01 Mirage. Eventhough it had a 100hp/4 speed transaxe, that thing is so much fun everytime it snows!(Dam handbrake! always making me go sideways! fun times...)

[invertedzero]

put some snow tires on the 9g, i swapped my stock tires with yokohama's ig10 and got a lot of snow this week and it's pretty good so far it's just the other cars around me that was going sideways which was kinda scary on the highway hehehe

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(invertedzero)</div><div class='quotemain'>^not just abs you also have a traction control on your v6 9g</div>

I haven't done any snow driving with my 9gv6 yet, but i have done some freeway driving in heavy rain, and the TCS makes a HUGE difference. It allowed me to comfortably drive 85-90mph in the rain, while i had to go about 60mph with the TCS off. TCS is one of those really nice features that people don't really think about too much. It's especially important for me since i live in Minnesota.

It helps handling quite a bit even in dry conditions too, makes it very difficult to screech the tires around fast turns. I think it even adjusts the throttle on launch so that you don't squeal the tires (although it's a lot more fun trying to control the launch yourself IMO)
