Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

Tuning the 4D56 isn't difficult: turn up the fuel, turn up the boost, profit. If you don't go about it methodically though, you can waste a lot of time chasing your tail. This is my method, which hones in on the correct tune quite quickly, with the minimum of re-adjustment. This presupposes that...

The rear springs on my Delica have sagged (as they all do) to the point where they were sitting on the overload leaves, which makes the ride quite harsh.

Step 1 - Vacuum Pump:

The electric vacuum pump can be found on many early 80 General Motors...

So, it was back around March when I decided that I really ought to get chains for the Miss Lil' Bitchi. I knew that I would be coming across snow and I wanted to be mobile. Down I went to Canadian Tire and spent $70 + taxes and got chains for all four wheels. Next I went on a Delica sortie and we...
