Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

1987 Dodge Raider that i did a full turbo diesel conversion on ...making it a one of a kind LHD Mitsubishi Pajero that could easily be imported to USA. The motor has quite a few performance mods to it and is surprisingly quick for a little turbo diesel and i still get a honest 30mpg hwy.

Wow. Very nice. The intercooler work is very slick.

Very nice truck indeed! Which I would need a second vehicle. Is the bike included as well?

Very nice! I wish I had the money for it because we could do with a second vehicle.

Thanx ...ya switching from the top mount to front mount intercooler dropped my EGT's about 200*F ...i have the fuel turned up and the turbo will push 25psi if you want it ...the truck pulls HARD!

Would be interested in trading for a Delica

The matching KTM is a extra 6k ...:P

What's that intercooler from? That might be an good mod for my 4M40 ride...

My buddy custom built the IC and stainless exhaust for me ...he's a very good tig welder. He has the same truck as you and has a kit in the works for his truck ...could hook you up.

Any idea how something custom like that gets dealt with as far as provincial inspections? specifically quebec....... if I can get my '92 prado sold, may be a thought

It's a Cdn market truck not a JDM so it would be just like importing any other domestic truck into a different province or USA.

I always liked shorty's and love what you did to yours.

Great price

great work! if only my money tree would grow damit...lol

Price drop ...$7000

Reminded me of my old Trooper

Sweet looking Trooper, I used to have a '85 2 door trooper ...i love the square boxy trucks ...my next brick is a '82 4 door g-wagen that i will build.
