iirc it's an Aisin gearbox, possibly the same as used by Nissan, Honda, GM Holden (Aust).

Pretty sure the Renisis rotary shares bolt pattern with 13B, but knowing Mazda's penchant for having different bellhousing bolt patterns for every engine family :shock: , couldn't be guaranteed.

Even if it ...

afaik there are no major differences between the transverse and longitudinal versions of the V6, apart from the sump and oil pickup (get these off a Montero/Pajero). Ditto the V5MT1 gearbox.

Check out the Hyundai and Mitsubishi engine entries in Wikipedia (read with a grain of salt :shock: ).

Hyundai's G4 series are Mitsi's 4G, and Hyundai's G6 are Mitsi's 6G. 8)

Hyundai have a Sirius engine range, which is the Mitsi Sirius under license. :wink: The 2.0 4G63 and G4CP appear to be ...

Pretty sure the VR4 used the smaller 6A V6, not the larger 6G V6 from the GTO/Pajero. VR4 1992-95 6A12T 2.0 turbo, 1996+ 6A13T 2.5 turbo.

This may share the same bellhousing bolt pattern as the 4G engines (not sure if wide or narrow block), but I haven't heard anyone who's actually done it yet ...

I'm surprised the all-alloy 6A V6 would be heavier than the all-iron 4G - has anyone got actual weights for the two engines in the same standard of trim?

The 6A range is :-
6A10 1597 (73.0x63.6) 137bhp@7000rpm 108lb/ft@4500rpm Lancer MX
6A11 1829 (75.0x69.0) 132bhp@7000rpm 123lb/ft@4500rpm Galant ...

Coldest December in 50 years - so much for global warming!

Thanks for the pics.

Know what you mean about the cold - it's only 23C and it's supposed to be summer down here!

Is that a standard 2 litre 4G63? How much power (I've seen 102bhp to 157bhp mentioned in various places)?

Somewhere I got these figures (in mm) for the KM132 :-

Length Width Height
730 230 220

Note sure if I was given the measurement in mm or inches, but they convert to :-

Length Width Height
28.7 9.1 8.7

Now, if I can find someone with a KM119 they can measure...

As an aside, it looks like the ...

Wow! Sounds like Mitsi engineers really like parts-bin tuning! :D

Wish Mazda did that - none of their stuff is interchangeable. :x

This is all starting to sound very promising.::twisted:

Total vehicle weight should be no more than 600kgs (1300lbs).

My shopping list would be :-
1) 6A** V6 ...

Now called the Triton - and only available with an oil-burner.

Plenty of older L200s (2.0 and 2.6) around though.

Only 2.6 manual rwd are wide-block, according to this site.

Pickup trucks, Starion, Galant, Sapporo, Scorpion

Everything else, including all auto and transverse engines should be narrow block.

These are the ratios I have found after a fair bit of googling :-

Vehicle 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th
Starion/Galant Sigma 3.369 2.035 1.360 1.000 0.856
Lancer/Hyundai Stellar 3.215 2.000 1.316 1.000 0.833

So the KM119 has closer ratios than the KM132 (nearly as close as an MX5) - should make it the best ...

I'm considering the KM132 or KM119 for a locost Lotus 7 replica.

The 84-87 Hyundai Stellar had the required Ford Cortina suspension, but had a 4G32 with a KM119.

What gear ratios were in the KM119? I have the ratios for the KM132 (and the almost identical KM135 from the column-change L300 van ...
