Petrol Turbo Trans?

[mitsubosozuko]

I have recently got my hands on a swb 1991 Gen1 (NG?) Pajero.
I'm thinking of turboing the petrol 2.6 'astron' sometime. Shootng for around 15sec 1/4m performance (maybe want 250hp)
I want some speed, But Im not building a drag car [stock v8 commodores will do 15's]

The Pajero already runs a Magna EFI system.

So queston now: how strong is the standard transmisson, Transfer, Hubs and shafts.
what are common brakages?


Cheers

dished pistons

Ha, any project's a good project. Mate if you're really planning to go this route, there's a sigma/galant forum that might be able to give you some useful info.

I have some dished piston sets that I took from a 2.6 sigma a while back. They've been kept nicely wrapped and will only cost you the postage to your place.

Yeah, Ive had a look at the sigma and galant forum.
I could use a Sigma turbo exhaust manifold, but I can 'easily' make my own.

Pm sent.

Can anyone point me to the sigma and galant forum please? Thanks. I'm on a 2.6L Starion engine. Is it very much similar to the sigmas and galants in Downunder? I'm from Singapore. Thanks.

Starions here had the 'sirus' 2.0 turbo engine.
American Starion had a 'astron' 2.6 turbo.

There was no 2.6 sirus.
We did get a few 2.0 turbo astron sigmas.
