Another 7g GS turbo conversion.

[jetperformance]

I Hi guys, I'm new here, please check out my intro in the Newb section. Like I mentioned I have been around DSM's and Mitsu's for many years, more than 10 ha ha. Anyway, instead of letting my $35 94 GS rot away, Im going to repair, restore and turbocharge it. It saddens me this car carted me for 13k brutal miles and mind you I did NOTHING to this car since I purchased it as a beater. It owes me nothing, I owe it alot so here she comes. Here are a few pics I took a while ago. More recent ones coming soon when I can get to it! Very busy man I am!









Engine has been completely overhauled by yours truly. The head and pan need to be bolted and then it is ready to go back in the car. Some other goodies will be installed before of course. I'm going to pull the trans this weekend and rebuild that also. It had a little grind in 2nd so Ill give it some synchros and fresh bearings. I'll try to keep this updated! I have a brandy new 20g I have had laying around for months. I'm thinking a small 16g may be more suitable. I did not do a forged bottom end build so I may play it safe. I'll be driving it daily as my 05 Ram 2500 is killing me in fuel, not a very friendly commuter! So I think a smaller turbo will be in order!

What wheels would you guys suggest for these things? Im not going to do a 5 lug conversion,dont have time for that!

[fatal1]

well you have a good platform to start with... 94 gs, dohc, correct? i like the direction your going with it, im looking forward to the process

as far as wheels i know a lot of the serious minded 7g guys swear by 17's being perfect, as for style, there should be some threads in the wheels section as well as the photoshop and member rides section for ideas

[jetperformance]

Yes 2.4 DOHC. It runs fairly well for a N/A engine as is. Just needs a little persuation!

17's or 18's are good i like 17's because i can have more meat on my rims.

here are some pics of my car with 17" gunmetal with a polished lip

Looks pretty good for 35 bucks. Next time you find a deal like that make sure to tell me will ya. :p

[mrjaydeeone]

I have 17" tenzo wheels on mine. Black with polished lip.
and before people ask the wing is not on the car. LOL It was just placed on there to see how it would look

Thank you for saving a 7g "GS". Not too many are running around the streets.

Looking forward to the finished product!

I almost junked it before realizing how rare it was. It of course isnt worth anything but to me(a TRUE Mitsu fan!)it is worth saving and making a nice street car. Nothing super fantastic but a head turner!

4-g-rim aren't you on GVR4.ORG? I've been there for 4 years or so,that's my usual home.


I like both of those wheels but I am keeping the car green so I must find something that won't look silly.

[4-G-rim]

Yes..I am a member on the GVR4.org boards. My GVR4 is going through some changes. I visit the GVR4 boards and read, but don't really post unless I need to for now.

19'' fit just fine, I also have a set of 18'' gunmetal wheels and tires brand new for sale. I cant find the post I had of them for sale.

enkei make some nice wheels in a 114.3 lug pattern

[jetperformance]

Tranny recv'd new synchros and bearings and is ready to go back in. I don't think we need pics of a 5spd tranny so be creative!

[mko]

Where did you get the rebuild parts for the tranny?

^^^I got my parts from Mitsu. Let me know if you need anything, I have access to some not so common parts and the "no longer available" Well nothing picture worthy yet, just got some new goodies for her. new struts, springs, brakes, tires control arms and a clutch.
