Plan: 89 G54B Turbo Conquest Engine (4cyl) into a 4 Door 90 LWB
4cyl into 4Door

Hey I am starting working on my Montero I have a 4dr 90LWB auto I got from my brother after he swaped his 3.0v6 out of it into his newer Montero he got with a bad motor.
I had a SWB 89 Montero with a Starion Turbo Motor in it but the truck needed alot of work and I got rid of it but saved the engine!
Right now just down to test fitting and seeing what I will need. Need to get the Flexplate and tq converter all figured out and in, then work on modifying the mounts. So lots more work to do... and I am going very slow lol.

Edit: Added Pictures

wow! welcome back <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Yes! Welcome back.

Welcome back! How's the Volvo Holding up???

Thanks! Its been a Long time but miss driving the Montero. These Old Monteros have a lot of character that I think many newer cars lack. Love the upright driving position with great view, who cares about arrow dynamics!

Volvo is doing great... actually runs better now then ever! Hard to kill thoes things, over 230K..... at lest... Odometer stoped working at 204k but that was a few years ago lol.

A LWB with your turbo 2.6...hmmm. Michigan Motor Speedway video, please. Are you shooting for 14's? Now THAT would be something.

I still have the MonTurbo - Back at the Track video. Ain't nothing like seeing a Raider beat fast cars down a 1/4 mile.

Haa I dont have as much planed power wise, just ported everything non jet, and thinking of a few other things but nothing crazy. But.... I do tend to get carryed away lol. The monturbo was so much fun! Thats the main reason I want a second take at it:D
Lots of fun times with the old Monturbo, I think my most fun time was a race the on expressway with a 240sx to about 115 keeping up with him man where they surprised! of course with the gears i couldnt really go any faster.
This LWB has a LSD rear end so should have a somewhat advantage their as I shouldn't need 4wd to get a good launch. Of course it weights alot more then the SWB. so overall I dont think it will be as fast.

Added Pictures for OP, Still havnt decided on MPI or TBI.... Party becuse I have just a 12a turbo and MPI+12a= Uncontrollable fast spool up, which means terrible mileage and the turbo wont last long. Plus I only have one set of injectors ecu and fuel rail... but not that I say it doesnt really sound like that hard to switch it, but who knows I may like the montero more then the Starion :| I know my old monturbo was so fun... And lets face it a 4dr montero is alot more practical then the starion.

I think I got the Engine mounts ready just need to test it on the truck! but its raining out and the trucks outside so have to wait, basicly all I needed to do is make the mounts back 1.75in back. Hope it stops raining soon!
