Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

So I am currently getting a serious mod done to the Delica at CC autos. Probably the biggest horsepower gain you can get in one mod. Its a lot of work though... are you curious? Its got me stoked.

Swapping my engine... soon to be a petrol power plant like docsavage's beauty. It will truly live up to its name "the silver bullet"

Josh

Tease.

*grin* i couldnt resist...

What other engines can fit in there?

What a cool project. You must be very excited!

Like swapping a 6G72 twin turbo?

Hi, josh,
you dont need to swap engine if you need a delica gas engine Delica. i know somebody in alberta who is selling his gas engine no modification on the engine mount or other thing. you can modify the engine & or head but the structure of the engine mount & other wont be the same.as when running your delica in the highway. this is just my though.
he has this gas delica with gas engine. i think he would sell if for $5,500 for the car. its a grade4 car with 8 passenger. green color. good price & car no rust.
Cheers;

Hey everyone, I was on the road the last few days...

Honestly I am not completely sure with all the options, but I am just going with the regular gas engine that came in a 92 model (pardon my ignorance!)

Konadog, I am super stoked. I drove James' van and couldnt get over the difference. I am really looking forward to it.

Mardy, thanks for the suggestion, but I do love my van, and I worked out a barter of sorts with Glen.

A Cummins 5.9 would be a nice upgrade.

Reminds me of some pictures I saw of a police special VW Beetle made for the French highway patrol. It looked stock until you noticed the 5-bolt hubs and the air vents in front of the rear wheels. It was in fact mid-engined, with a Porsche 911 engine where the rear seat used to be.

Sort of a pre-historic Cayman, come to think of it...

I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but my old VW mechanic had a ratty old mid-seventies VW bus... with a Porsche motor in it! Crazy fast. He would do off the line races with guys who thought he was kidding around and poking fun at his old bus - until the light turned green VAH- ROOM!!!

i drove docsavages petrol deli the other day, and im pretty friggen jealous. he can actualy burn out and shoot off the line. also i really wish i bought a 5 speeds standard, as the doc taught me how to drive one!

cool mod josh! ill have to come check it out in the fall when im back up your way.

Patty,
