RE: engine fit
AlZuben - we would all appreciate it if you would please use the search feature from now on and we are sorry if you get a harsh response off the bat but we get a lot of the same questions asked on a daily basis that are answered on a daly basis and we often times get sick of answering them. You havea creatve mind but no you can't drop a vr4 engine into a 2g.
point taken....but if you have ever dealt with message boards before, then you know searching for specific info can be tedious and unproductive. When I found this thread, I revived it because it fell in line with my question. and I don't have any interest in dropping a vr engine into anything. I'm looking to drop a 4m4 TD into a diamante.
but while we're on the subject of VR's, I did search and couldn't find any info on drivetrains. I'm assuming the drivetrain on the VR's is essentially the same on the galants, eclipses, evo and the gto. Is the drivetrain of an expo or outlander similar? Can you canibalize parts off these? any AWD experts out there?
I think I read somewhere that Mitsu built vr diamantes but never sold them in the us. I would go so far as dropping a diamante chassis on an expo frame if I thought it didn't involve too much sheet metal forming.

Yea, Ron. Al was never intrested in that motor swap. That was someone else. Hes talking about swapping in the 4m41 (diesel) 3.2L Pajero motor into a smaller car, such as a Lancer or Galant. For a few reasons, the largest being an intrest in diesel motors.

Look up the Galant VR-4 AMG. It was never sold here in the US... but is a badass car... and is 4g63t powered.

There have been several of the 91-92 vr galants on ebay in recent weeks. I've always loved that car and would love to find one of the VR wagons....great for ski season.
If my research is correct, it looks like AMG was actually an aftermarket upgrade, increased compression, aluminum pistons, new suspension. Can't find anything on a VR and AMG package.
I'd still bet the late 90s v6turbo VR Galant would eat it up.
