First off what harnesses are you using? I.E. 1g dsm 2g dsm 90 dsm. Second what vehicle are you trying to wire it into. And which version of megasquirt are you using. If you look on DIYAUTOTUNE.com they have all the wiring diagrams there or you can find them on the forums usually if you look around ...

Mad Menace

No dude this was like the 3rd take lol... I had problems with piston rings in the stock block so i stripped it down and re ringed it, and broke 1 of the stock pistons with the help of the ring compressor, so I went and got some stock Galant pistons and rods from the junk yard and installed them with ...

whats the worst thing that could happen from trying? losing a few minutes of life to a possible success? try it and report back with your findings lol
I think there's a good chance that it'll actually work... it looks like it would but I don't have a spare set of cams to mess with on a spare head ...

Mad Menace

Well I found out that weisco is the cheap option at this point, they make a set for this application which was suprising, JE doesn't make them so thats a custom set $$$$$, Mahle was the same way $$$$ customs. The Weisco ones aren't too expensive at like $550 shipped with wrist pins, and rings, also ...

Definitely go with the lower CR if you wanna run crazy boost... or put in some flat toppers and run a 4g63 crank (12mm LESS stroke) and 1g turbo big rods and run crazy RPM and Boost together with no chance of engine interference in the case of a lost timing belt. and probably about 7.0:1 CR ...

Mad Menace

Yeah they worked great... fired right up first try, sounded good, warmed up completely, twice... made it about 2 blocks and seized.. not a biggie dropped the pan real quick loosened the connecting rod bolts and it spun free... then my parents drug me out to go Christmas shopping all day so I didn't ...

Mad Menace

Actually in the states the "Ute" or "Strada" is a "Raider" not a Mighty Max, sorry this doesn't help but it may keep you from steering wrong.

On the left we have an 8v 4g64 Mighty Max Head bolt, in the center we have a 16v SOHC head bolt, and on the right we have a 2g 16v 4g63 DOHC head bolt, and I do not have one on hand at the moment but a 1g 16v 4g63 DOHC head bolt is the ...

and every one of your posts here (all 2 of them) since your inception have the Cornucopia and Wealth of all things Mitsubishi. :roll:

And you haven't offered anything toward answering the OP's question in any way be it constructive, anecdotaly or otherwise. In fact you have offered NO information ...

hard time my ass... if going 0-60 in under 5 seconds and twisting the speedo out of whack at over 120 MPH is a hard time Ill take it any day... the fucking thing is fun as hell to drive... and when it did blow up I had it running again a whopping 3 days later... instead of asking questions i put my ...

Mad Menace

Im using the upper example and it uses the factory ECU tachometer signal...

I just think you have a slight misunderstanding of the way these tachometers really work is all... because I also found that if you ground the TE lead and feed the ECU signal directly to the Ground lead (which sounds stupid ...

no, wrong! the cam sensor wouldnt really play into it like that. its got something to do with your after start enrichment. Are you running the stock ECU and injectors or was there some dabbling happening there?

Mad Menace

That's awesome and all but it still dont make it so I can magically afford it.

I am sure youll get what your asking for it tho, it's a hell of a deal!

Nah, but you can order me a Mai Tai and have it waiting at the beach for me

You make me wish I had a job still... this is exactly the one I wanted... dual staged injector rails, nitrous ready... I want it but cannot afford it

Mad Menace

thats a cool idea, but i do think he was only using that pipe to measure the clearance of his cams and what not to his hood... he mentioned something about cuttiing the hood for stuff to clear

Mad Menace

Dude if your willing to pay for the parts, shipping and my time and effort I know where theres 3 mighty max's with entire engines in tact which means wideblocks... I think i can pick 1 up for like $200-$250 and im in colorado

Youve got your head backward, its like this, you want 400-600 WHP you ...

Mad Menace

Measure the distance between the dowell pins on the bell housing for confirmation, but something is telling me its a narrow block.
roughly 12 inches is a narrow block, roughly 13 its the wide block
I have a narrow block in perfect condition for sale sitting here if anyone needs it. Cheap!

Mad Menace

They could... if it was power that they wanted... "There's no replacement for displacement"

Take it apart and go from there.

Mad Menace

Quick note tho... if its been rebuilt as many times and as extensively as you say you may think about tearing it down before you order anything and verify that you do or dont need standard/oversized/undersized bearings and rings, because i have crossed a few this year that had been redone due to ...

Mad Menace

Nope none, especially not that that particular kit would concern in any way.
A 4g64 is a 4g64 when it comes to the parts that go inside... its the wide/narrow block that changes the transmission choice. You have a wideblock if you have 5 speed manual tranny but even if you just so happened to have a ...

Mad Menace

Just noticed that it has the 93&up Grille with the 87-92 Steel bumper... Is that a 94 or a 95?

Mad Menace

Thats a beautiful truck man, I have ALWAYS loved the Max's and own a 93 Myself, with a WAY more exuberant paint job.
But at this very minute I have the very rebuild kit I refereed you to in my first post but i only plan to use the lower half, I very recently 2 weeks ago blew my hotrod engine up and ...

Mad Menace

You can always pick up an old school Gasket making kit and material and make your own like they probably did on that car originally back in the day.

Or just go totally wild and put a twin turbo v6 under the hood.

I really like the fact that its right hand drive, I had a second 91 mighty max at one ...

Mad Menace

he hasn't started it yet dude... theres not even a timing belt or water pump on it in the pics...

Mad Menace

which lifters
machined keepers or oem
which headgasket

3g lifters with updated oiling holes
Machined keepers IMO, but I too went OEM
You need the "K" style head gasket

hope this helps

Mad Menace

It's not advisable at all to tap into the cam signal, just use the ignition module.
I just used the example from Megasquirt and it works flawlessly with mitsu tachometers.

Mad Menace

I have used these guys for everything needed in the rebuild world and they ship before tracking can follow it every time.
This kit has everything you need to rebuild a max except new pistons... which can also be added to the kit.

Mad Menace

of course, the 1g part says it all... unless you want my old 8v Max head with nearly 200k on it (cheap)

The 1g head could easily be upgraded with only new valve springs and be capable of 272 or even 280 cams

Hopefully you understand that the 1g is capable of more than the 2g based on port ...

Mad Menace

More details needed.
Preferred new or used?
8v, 12v,16v SOHC, or 16v DOHC and 1g or 2g head? because the wide block only came with 1 type guaranteed 8v sohc head on it, we have to build the other configurations.
FWD or RWD configuration?
Location.

I have a 1g head with about 6000 miles on it since ...

Step 1: Research project.

Sooooo retardedly important to do if you actually plan on getting it done.

There are approximately 32525 pages of info regarding those problems you have had. Here's where to start man, google "project zero g", then before going to the forums read the 1st page. Not ...

Something just struck me, are all of those tranny's auto? I do prefer my manual shift.

Oh, dont get me wrong I realize that you are solely pioneering the engineering and the man hours to help us have some fun toys to play with. I follow a lot if not all of your posts on here because what you do is ...

Mad Menace

What is something like this going to translate into cost for the end consumer such as myself?
When I began my build I wanted the 6g twin turbo, but there weren't many choices for adapting to RWD outside using a stock v6 Max trans with dropped off transfer case or whatever, so I went with the same ...

Mad Menace

Lol, dude I have those same headlights with the xenon upgrade.
I also have color changing LED's in the "city light" hole and they look awesome with just the marker lights on, but I have gotten pulled over for them already too cause they were seen in the red state and that's illegal in my area to ...

Mad Menace

Yeah the first thing I noticed when I fired it up was the sound of the compression from the tail pipe... It actually sounds tougher than before... Thanks for the tip, I'll apply the knowledge.

I plan on running turbo'd right off the bat, but I do seriously think I need to go get another head or ...

Mad Menace

Well it still didn't seal completely but I'll do something temporary about it like alumaseal or something... Cause I've been stuck home for 8 days now and worse yet without Internet access, I gotta get out so as it sits it's hopefully ready to run but I'll have to check my timing with the MS just to ...

Mad Menace

not to mention you can almost completely build one from the junkyard.
Try completely... Hell mine just blew up the other day and I didn't even have to go to the junkyard, but now we'll see first hand what the factory intenals really can take since I just slapped the dohc head on the old block with ...

I hate these water pumps, like who the he'll ever thought of the pop in style rear pipe connection and convinced the developers that it was actually functional should be shot in the knee caps, nursed back to health and taught to walk again, then shot in the knee caps again... 10+ years I've owned ...

So what would menace do?
In less than a day I fished the anchor out from under the hood, be headed and quartered it, fished the stock engine out of the shed, beheaded and quartered it, stripped it for cleaning and tossed in new sets of bearings and rings and slapped the DOHC oil pump, water pump ...

Was I supposed to have gotten a message on this?

Mad Menace

Oi... Last thing I need is a 4g63 narrow block sitting around... Lol it won't mate to the 5 speed, and I have a 8v stocker long block sitting here, with over 160k on it
I was hoping to get videos up too, but apparently that connecting rod had different plans... If you know me like you think you ...

Mad Menace

It's rest in pieces status... Connecting rod broke ripping the wrist pin out of the piston and smacked the casting for the main oil galley at the #1 connecting rod/ crank connecting point...

Anybody know of any possible repercussions of using 8v pistons with a 16v head temporarily?
Cause I'm ...

Man, your avatar pic sure messes stuff up... how'd it even let you have it that big?

Mad Menace

Lol, Ill drop the pan tomorrow and see what treasures it beholds to let me know what I've gotten myself into... If I find 2 nuts a connecting rod cap and a couple of bearings like I think I'll find, it'll mean a new crank, bearings and connecting rods, which while I'm at it may as well drop in a new ...

Mad Menace

President not sure here: don't know what exactally happened, but I can guess... But right now I'm sitting on the side of the road waiting for a tow, but I think I just broke either a connecting rod or it's bolts in the #1 cylinder... Now I make a sad face cause I just got laid off

Mad Menace

On the subject of 400hp, it's fairly easy if you want to do it dirty.

280 cams, 1000cc injectors, Walbro 255 pump, Aeromotive FPR, Evo III 16G, E85, a damn fine tune, and run wastegate spring pressure (We'll go with "about" 31psi)
