Wish it were that easy, otherwise I'd gladly 'swing' by!! Little bit of a trip. Is there any members here that are from Iowa??

EAISER to swap in.
Hard as hell to work on. (change a 2.6 turbo starter, or drill out broken exhaust manifold studs ALL the way in the back.)
Takes up MORE room in the engine bay. Tons of mystery boxes, Tons of wiring.
Reliable?? I guess thats how much you make it. How many heads, and mikunis are we talking?

I've done both, and If I ever do another turbo swap, it will not be with a 2.6. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> [/quote]
you're right the starter is a ***** to change. If you don't wan't to be drilling out bolts and changing heads, just dont overheat your truck and you'll never have a problem. You won't have a problem with your mikuni because it's FI.

oops.. I forgot about that. I'd almost trade a good reliable carb for the POS efi setup on a starion with mystery boxes, secondary injectors, Wiring with whacked out schemes... Black wire with a yellow stripe, and red dots, and a black wire with a Yellow Stripe, and pink dots. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

I kid you not!!

At least there's no pink wires in a mitsu like there is in a GM harness...

There are exactly 5 wiring connections to make on a starion into mitsu swap. Constant 12v, ign 12v, start 12v, harness ground, fuel pump, and the common grounds. You need the spark box and the starion coil. The rest is bolt in and plumbing.

And I got 20mpg at 70 lots of times, on a crappy 85Starquest system. It's the blasts to 90 to pass the "slow til you try to pass" a-holes that kill you, and the WAOT runs to humiliate the ricers and the 'stangs, and all the times you nudge into the throttle just to hear the turbo spool up. Turbo 2dr Mitsu's sound like wheeEEEEEEEEEE. AND I could run it on 87 octane if I stayed out of a LOT of WAOT throttle.

The main benefit is the ability to climb grades without a downshift, especially in an a/t truck with the big gap from 4-3 because of the long legged overdrive 4th. I could o/d cruise at 80 on the I'state in hilly country and never downshift on 31's.

Triple Jack, there is a man in Buford, GA who has two of those Dodge Daytona cars and a spare engine. I will inquire about it for you if you would like.
