Re: L400 3.8L Mivec 5spd Sportronic w/Paddle shift

Thanks guys, The wiring harness took me a while to wrap my head around it. I'd originally ordered the Eclipse engine harness from a wrecker in California, just to find out that I needed the engine bay harness as well. So I asked them to also pull the dash harness, as I really didn't know at that tim...

Re: L400 3.8L Mivec 5spd Sportronic w/Paddle shift

I blended bits of the Eclipse 3.8L to the Pajero/Montero 3.5/3.8L timing covers in order to seal up the timing cover area. Because of the shape of the cylinder head, and the Longitudinally mounted engine, the only covers that could have worked are from an '09-on Pajero 3.8L Mivec, which is a pretty ...

Re: L400 3.8L Mivec 5spd Sportronic w/Paddle shift

Cooling system mods: Coolant return line, bent, adjusted, twisted... whatever you wanna call it. This piece didn't bend and twist so easily, had to make a few attempts. So it turned out a bit ugly... The branch to the right is the return line from the rear passenger compartment heater. Something Ecl...

Could "Max 960px width" error message when submitting a post be modified a bit to include which image is causing the problem? I know other forums are capable. I also am having an issues with Photobucket delays to uploaded/editing images. Up to an hour delay sometimes. So the combination ca...

Re: L400 3.8L Mivec 5spd Sportronic w/Paddle shift

Here's a few pics of clearancing the Left cylinder head, to clear the firewall. (Front cylinder head on Eclipse) Because the block is approx 18mm taller than the original 3.0L 6G72, the small amount of clearance the original 3.0L had to the Delica firewall, means the 6G75M 3.8L cylinder head casting...

Re: L400 3.8L Mivec 5spd Sportronic w/Paddle shift

First few things on the block I had to modify or adjust. The Deli AC compressor mounting bracket required clearance, as did the Eclipse oil filter housing. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii606/Soulmonkey3/Mods%20and%20Brackets%20-%20Delica/P4220258b.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii606...

2.0L Mini Kei would be pretty cool.
I have a lot of Delica road trips ahead of me, I'll probably be through Calgary occasionally.

Re: L400 3.8L Mivec 5spd Sportronic w/Paddle shift

I'll try to keep the pics coming. I've tried to document most of the project. I'll post more on the engine install as soon as I get a chance.

I've done many engine swaps on European imports but first shot at a Mitsubishi.
