40273, This is Probably a stupid question
Posted by HellsElf, Mar-05-03 02:19 AM
just from pictures ive seen..is it possible the mount the manifold and turbo from a tsi talon onto the 420a.. aka. do the bolt holes and everything line up.cuz that would be one hell of a money saver.

Let's just say "Not a chance in hell" and leave it at that. They're two totally different motors.

Its not really the engine im concerned about, they're both mitsubishi engines whoopdi do, but if the manifold fit, then why buy a different one...thats all i was thinkin

LOL, you're not listening. "They are totally different motors." Hence, they wouldn't have the same bolt patterns for the exhaust manifold. We're not trying to be rude, but we hear this question about once a week. Use the search function and you'll see other threads on the same topic.

And NO, they are NOT both Mitsu engines. The 420a is a Chrysler engine.

chrysler doesnt actually make the engine...they're all produced by mitsu, at least according to most of the chrysler reps i've ever talked to. they make their v8's....thats about it. unless that is...they've all been terribly misinformed..which could be possible, but chrysler is like ford...most of fords engines are built by yamaha or mazda

No, they're actually made by Chrysler. Take off your valvecover, look in the head - "Hecho en Mexico". Doesn't sound like Japanese to me.

The motors are actually build and assembled at Chrysler's assembly plan in Mexico, so technically yes they are imported, but they aren't built by Mitsu.

..and no the bolt pattern is not even remotely close, or else we'd all be running 4g63 manifolds. Not to sound rude, but don't you think someone would have thought about that already if it were even remotely possible? Give us some credit.
