    Derry, the 6A13 (n/a) engine's gearbox is a direct fit to the 6A13TT engine, so that's a simple solution. The grip is a problem when you need to get away fast from standstill. My VR2 (stock boost) does 0-100km/h in 6.2 sec, which is not bad at all, but should the full potential of the power be used, then I agree: 5 sec's should be very possible.

    That sounds pretty impressive, had known it earlier maybe I should leave mine as FWD rather convert to AWD

    Both have their fun aspects! The lack of grip with FWD in 1st & 2nd gear and esp on wet roads is evident and the only things I can think of to get away faster at the strip are: much wider tyres + LSD. That lack of grip is almost non existent with AWD and as long as you put in enough horsepower it can be very fast! And the added bonus with AWD is you can take corners much, much harder, plus when it snows you have heaps of fun with it too (although I'm not sure if/how often there's snow in you part of the world).

    There's never a snow in here, we only got dry and rainy season

    I do feel better grip when both launch and taking corner harder compare to before I swap my EA5A however heavier 6G72TT + AWD + all kind of stock interior I added put lot of weight.

    Yep, its correct what MarkSanne Says.
    It made a big diffrence when i switched tires (from some chinese company to toyo t1r) (from first 3 gears wheelspin, to only the first 2 gears)
    Its f****d with fwd, you get a lot of wheelspin wich u dont want. (meanwhile i know how much i need to throttle to barely have wheelspin)
    In the summer (dry and hot) its pretty quick, i dont know if i cach the 5seconds, still cant full throttle. I think i timed 5.8 once (note: i have the tweaked ecu) (Didn't had the 3" downpipe, de-cat and lightweights rims when timed) So on a good day i might get it near the 5 seconds.

    Atm im thinking of making it 4wd so i can put more power in it. But i need to find a donor vr4 to do that So that will be something for the future
    I'm from The Netherlands,
    Sorry for my language

    *update

    MMCS is working but forgot to put the bootable CD-ROM :






    Some people demand a picture of engine bay because previous picture is too small, so I took more picture of bit higher quality, Maybe in near future I gonna use smaller battery and re-placing the wiring again to save some space. I should had have it cleaned before taking pictures though

    Man this is a cool project! Kudos for pulling this one hayase. Maybe relocate the battery to the boot? That way you most likely be able to build a a better air intake for the engine. That mushroom filer you have now force the engine to suck hot air inside the bay = power loss.

    Sold My car, hope a current owner will take care of it more than I did

    Engine : 6G72TT from 93++ Mitsubishi GTO VR4 M/T FL version
    Transmission : 5-Speed tranny M/T with 25 spline Getrag TC from 92 Mitsubishi GTO VR4 M/T PFL version
    Drivetrain : AWD, prop shaft, fuel tank, rear diff from Mitsubishi Galant VR4 M/T
    ECU : Haltech Platinum Sport 2000
    Injector : RC Engineering 450cc
    Fuel Pump : MagnaFuel 4302
    Intercooler : Stock from Evo 8 (it seems)
    Radiator : Full Aluminium Koyorad Radiator
    Exhaust : Custom


    Interior and Exterior :
    - Separated Headlamp and Turning lamp models from Galant V6
    - Set of Black Doorcards (including door handle, window switch and bolt cover) from Galant VR4 COTY edition
    - 260 km/h M/T Hi Vis Dash model from Galant V6 Avance
    - Black Leather Powered Seat from Galant VRM

    - Boot Carpet / Velvet Cover
    - Set of Carbon Center Console (MMCS version) from Galant VR4

    First time doing the engine swap, I never ever doing this nor has background on this kind of thing so I asked some mechanic to do it for me:




    6G72TT FL has 4-bolt bearing cap while 6G72TT PFL is only 2-bolt, I think the crankshaft on 6G72TT FL also using stronger material


    Prepared to be painted in Black since I got Hood from VR4 FL already


    In Process





    Finished but still need lot of work for interior








    Interior still completely in mess





    Not Finished Yet



















    Engine Bay





    Very Dirty after several run on Highway







    It's not VR4 (if it's counted as VR4) that as great as other members have but I'm proud of it and still miss it even after I sold it
