Iv come across this little colt and im not shure what the go is with it! its had a cordia turbo transplanted in it. bloke recons its been bored to to a 2l with a mild cam goes good but got no low end power?

My other question is what is this colt? GSR? its got full genuine mitsubishi body kit? any info would be great!

I've seen this before .............it's an RC hatchback with imported bonnet and kit (off the 2 door)...........if the engine is cordia someone has spent some money as custom driveshafts are required.

ok so RC hatch is that the modle? and the kit is off the jap 2 door, wouldnt the side skirts be to short if of a 2 door? def cordia turbo in it says it on the rocker cover! uv seen it befor? soz for all the questions just havnt seen one around befor!

Nice....Do you have any engine pic's?

RC is the model.............the kit is the same for the 2 door.....floor pan length didn't change....I have seen it around SA......mainly down south.

Got any pics of the engine?

It mostly common for guys to build a colt with a cordia/VR4 engine........but to find an original 2 door GSR is rare.

look like standard drive shafts, the engine cradle is all cordia so the track is out. purchased it of a bloke up north. il get a pic of the dont up.

bit untidy but im getting their with tidying it up

Nice...........AB (Leaded) engine.

In a body that light that should haul ass.

ok awsome thats the more powerfull one right? it goes good iv stripped most of the interiour only 2 seats and a dash left, really struggles of boost though?

the turbo to throttle body seems sooo restrictive what do you guyes do about that? simple as replacing/making it with a aftermarket item?

The AB is the better engine...........give the engine a compression check.....cylinders should come in at appox 120 - 130 psi........if the engine has been rebuilt check for blown head gasket (mainly between 2&3)...........does the engine blow smoke?

You can use the sonata inlet manifold for MPI........but that's outdated, No such deal.........replace the engine with a VR4.

ok cheers, only a little on hard boost not alot at all

the car didnt cost me alot so dont wanna spend big $$ on it, just gets used as a hills bus

With a healthy cordia engine that car should be a weapon...........can't see why it has low end power problems if it was a straight swap. 110KW is more than enough for a colt!

OK..........just realised what's going on...........where is the airflow meter?

Without this will cause poor performance until the turbo comes on boost.............very rich mixture or does the car run an aftermarket ECU?

it does run an old school fuel only haltech, and yeah no AFM

Well there is your problem.

so putting in a AFM wont do anything now cause i havnt got the ECU to do it?

Should go hard with an intercooler, 15psi and a tune.
