Owned a 95 g for several years. Got bored with it after I bought a new vehicle so I decided to build the engine and tranny back in 2000 ish. Pulled the motor and was thinking simple rebuild. After long though I decided this was a bad idea. So I took the block and head to the machine shop and had a hefty port and polish followed by a cylinder bore. ORdered custom rods and pistons. NO idea what they were been 9-10 years ago. More or less a high performance 2.4 with built everything. NA though. Was pushing somewhere around 10:1. Dynod at the local speed shop around 170 whp. The automatic tranny I had custom build to with stand some serious beating. This was back in 2000ish. Two months after I build this beast which would rip the front tires something stupid im driving it along at 60 mph or so and hear a clunk clunk bang. Someone who was helping me.....put in a old balance shaft with a nic in it (even though i had a brand new laying there) which i told them to use the new one. So me being pumped about all this never noticed he put in the old one and it spun the shaft bearing. I was pissed and junked the entire motor. The tranny had an issue to so I junked them both. I know I know. This was 2000-2001. 3 days ago I picked up a used 2.4 and dropped it in. After fixing a few wiring shorts and pulling out my hair a few times she fired up this morning. 70k on the motor and a brand new automatic tranny from factory purchsased in 2001 (200 miles on it). Gasoline is from 2001 and ran like shat. Next mission will be draining the tank. SO. How about some ideas of where to get started. I found this site and was quite impressed with all the G's that have been done on here. I have the full shop manual from mitsubishi Volume 1 and 2 for the 94-95 g and the full manual for all engine rebuilds and specs from 93-98 i think. So if i can help anyone with info I would be more than willing. I would love some advice on some good places to start. I'm thinking I want to be around 300-375 whp. Would also love some info on JDM or similiar kits that look close to them. Cant find anything on JDM stuff for the 7g's. It looks great though. Thanks all AND HI!

well for starters, welcome to TGC
do some research on some things u would like done to the car
performance (turbo, na builds, 5spd swaps) (for ur goals i would say DOHC swap, turbo kit and 5spd swap)
and u can search ebay for some JDM parts, as well as PM a member "triggermauve" to get some shipped directly from japan, but search first so u can tell him exactly what u want
GL and feel free to ask questions, we are here to help
yea i left some out. was personally thinking about doing a total engine rebuild with the dohc setup ive read so much about followed by a turbo setup running 10-12 lbs boost. Not sure about the tranny swap yet. brand new auto tranny in there now. just not sure what they will hold. I would really like the jdm front i saw a all grey 7g in the forums here that looked great and would love to have something similiar to that. Ebay seemed to be a bit of a flop all i found was VIS, Cypher and some other body kits. would love the vr 4 sides and even possibly the rear. ive been researching some of this for months now. I guess i'm more interested in what should i shoot for first. New paint and new body pieces. Ill installl and paint myself. Car has been garaged forever so its in great condition with no rust besides a dime size spot in the trunk that likes 1/16 thick. few nics and scratches and front bumper a touch dinged. Guess Im more interested in what seems to be more the preference these days body style wise and what looks good. As far as the performance mods I found tutorials and post of walk throughs from previous members. So much to do and just curious where to start. I cant decide perf mods first or make it pretty first. Im entirely new to the JDM thing just came across it a few months ago. Just sold a 70 440 charger a few years ago. Had a family needed the money. I see this as a cheaper and pretty fun car to build. Ive built up a few eclipses for some buddies and helped a buddy do a few light mods to his evo so im pretty familiar with Mitsubishi well 4g64's and 63's. Was more just after input about what people thought. The three body kits I find seem a little funky for my taste but the VIS one isnt bad I suppose. I really like the look of some JDM but it seems to be expensive from what ive read with shipping and what not. So back to the orginal Performance or Style. Which one to attack first.
type E54A on ebay, and u will find all the 7g JDm
you sir are great. thank you. looking forward to getting to know everyone. Do quite a few people still talk and post on here ?

Welcome
Nothing is nicer then a early 90's mitsu
I'll get some pics up soon. Nothing much to look at really just about bone stock. So I forgot the gas was as old as it is. Like 7 years old. Started it up yesterday ran it for five or ten minutes ran like shat so I set the timing. Still ran like crap then I remembered the gas. Hopefully it's not globbed up. Can't get it to restart now grrrr. I'll start a post under 7g soon with pics and progress. I'll pm you soon as well about some of the mods. Nice to see people on. I'm from indiana only Mitsubishi I ever see is an occasional 8g galant and a few 2nd and 3 rd gen eclipses no mods at all ever.
