very interesting information there Roger.... 

lotssa info there hey.. nice find!!

well done roger! great help for everyone! maybe this should be made a sticky/faq

p.s jimi... 327 posts  just like the legendary HK Bathurst Monaro!

Yes I agree it should be a "Sticky", can't make it one though..............will have to ask Steve.............well done Roger. 

Ta everyone, im sure that the info would be very usefull for anybody upgrading there turbos or just getting more understanding of other mitsu turbos.

sticky'd

haha good work stevey and roger!

I'll just add that T03's are good for quick response, but no good for producing good power (max power produced @ 4500rpm)...hardly the limit of any Cordia engine!

but then if your after a daily driver and dont like to wind it out its prolly not a bad idea *shrug*

Believe it or not but the first ever Mitsubishi Turbo, the sigma GH, used a Garrett T03 turbo mated with a 4G52 2.0-litre, SOHC, 8-valve. Sucking through a CD 175 Stromberg carburettor. Only 500 examples were built using the relatively upmarket Sigma SE sedan as the platform

Also, dont forget the TC04 turbo. They were fitted to very early Cordia turbos and are almost unheard of nowadays.

jeez boostu how do u know so much about cordia and misti turbo history? ive searched the net as best i can for info like dat and i just get random crapy pages that i can't find the info in lol

lol, you just gotta have patience and have a rough idea what to search for

wow well ill keep hunting in my spare bored time.
your running a tc06 turbo arnt ya?

oh could u tell me roughly how much it would cost to get a big front mount for a cordia and labour to set it up and fit it etc...? if thats not to much trouble.

coz i dont have the slightest clue on where abouts the performance places are in palmy to ask lol shocking ay hehe

yeah mate, im running a TC06 turbo. No trouble at all, to get a intercooler setup on your Cordia professionally installed itll cost you anywhere from $700-1000.

If you dont mind looking at black pipes apposed to chrome then I recommend just getting the intercooler pipes off an old galant turbo as some had factory front mount intercoolers. You could even use the intercooler from one of them too as they are the same as a vr4 cooler.

Aftermarket frontmounts are quite cheap tho, in fact my mates got a spare brand new one which is perfect size for a Cordia for sale right now. Have a look in your yellowpages for performance shops around Palmy and grab at least 6 quotes before you get the job done

hmmm cool, well ill hunt around, i would really like chrome pipes, ACTUALLY!!! BOOSTU COULD U GET THE FRONT MOUNT FITTED and when i buy it off u just add watever u payed to the cost?? if thats not suitable please just tell me tho

just a suggestion.

i like subtle intercoolers, ie black painted and unknown... gives the cops one less thing to know about your car's intentions

ill let you know about the cooler brazza. was thinking of doing it a while ago but dont have the cash right now.

Yeah i agree with you raff, stealth intercoolers are great if you want to keep a low-profile. Altho I do love the look of the big shiny F&%k off intercoolers tho 

yeah i wanted a big shiny intercooler, im gona take out a bank loan and do it myself when i buy her, just to make her run a bit cooler ay.

i wanted to stick like a gsr body kit on it, one of those evo III kits or an evo 5 kinda like bitzas one, that looks soooo cool. for sum reason i luv the way an intercooler looks thru those lancer gsr bumpers hmmmm nice.

You'd be wasting your money getting a loan for that bro.... just work and save!

Remember if you buy something on a loan, it's not really yours until you've paid the loan off.... It's the banks!

yea exactly, youd probably end up paying double the loan by the end of it from all the interest and because the loan is for a small amount.

Yeah the Evo bumpers look great but take a fair bit of customizing to fit to a Cordia. The Mitsi Mirage Cyborg bumpers look wicked on Cordias

hmmm ok ill save up but the thing is... anz bank only let ya take out $5000 at a time, so i have to take that out anyway, so id buy ur car for $4000 then get intercooler fitted for $1000 or watever it cost, and pay it off $30 a week for 5 years.

only a total of $1200 added including fees over that 5 year period... interest rate is like roughly 17% i thnk.

but they wont let me have the loan til i show them proof im earning $250+ a week, which is easy enuff to get but gotta show them pay slips for 3 weeks in a row b4 theyr convinced... sheeesh....

lol sweet, yea banks are pretty tight with that sort of stuff aye. some banks even require guarantors even if you are 18years or older. Im with kiwibank, thinking of changing...

yeah i hate that garantour thingy, its bulshit coz ive got no1 to garantour for me  

stupid idea really coz they send in debt collectors if u dont pay after ages anywayz

haha that's the beauty of loans! just think of it like this.... if I leant you $5000, I would get REALLY pissed if you didn't pay me back like we'd agreed!

That's basically how it works! I've learnt from my past, I have no credit rating and $5000 remaining from a $30,000 bungle in my life.... so yes I would steer clear of loans unless you have good money managing skills! But that being said, if you have good money managing skills, then you shouldn't need a loan!

haha couldnt of put it better myself Steve

ummm scott, steve... ur gona be waiten ages for me to buy my next cordia lmao! coz i can probly put away $100 a week

coz i spend the other $100 on $40 board, and $60 petrol OR MORE! i only earn roughly $200-400 a week max! if i wana get ur cordia scott im gona be saving til like... should we start a new topic and u guys help me out with my savings and i tell u wat i earn each week and wat to spend my $$$ on? u guys are older and surely had more experience and patients with your money
