Comparing MIVEC and non-MIVEC plenum for my 6G75 swapped 3000GT

There's a channel called Grease Garage where he turbocharges a couple different Cyclone motors in Monteros. A lot of his stuff sounds like it would be helpful to you.

I'll definetly have to check them out thank you frank.

I'm guessing we passed each other at Go Pull it a couple weeks ago that weekend it was so hot. I was getting parts for one of my tow vehicles. I have my 6g75 that will be going into a Mk1 89 Raider (Montero), I'm going to start looking for an 6g74 Montero motor to get so I can swap this FWD Endevour motor in. Baby steps, but looking forward to something more than 130hp that my 89 6g72 has.

most likely sir, i always make the 50% off/ all you can carry sales. The mitsu pickings have been slim as of late for the 6G74 cars and trucks, still trying to find a diamante with the digital climate control so i can snag everything to swap into my manual controls 99 base thats getting the 6g75 swap.

Interesting to see all the differences. If I remember correctly you have about 1.5" of clearance between stock hood and intake manifold. I measured it on my 99 for my supercharger build because I wanted to avoid cutting hood at all costs

[@twosunsracing]

I have to get more play dough to do an actual height measurement difference once I get the motor back in the car, I know the mivec upper wouldn't let the hood close, but it was super close, so I was thinking maybe with some bracing trimmed in the area of the plenum maybe. But I have a 1g scoote hood I will be molding the center section of to use on a 2g hood, there isn't a huge demand for them so it will probably be limited to just me for the copies lol. And that definitely will take away clearance because I think the scoops are about 2in in height, so this hood would probably barely clear a stock 6g72 much less the taller 6g75.

@twosunsracing I am sure you already plan to but make sure motor mounts are good. I out urethane ones in my. So you don't rock the engine into hood under load

[@twosunsracing]

@@sigvision4189 I have poly mounts in mine now, I want to see if the flex under load since i have stock motor mount brackets for those, may end up beefing them up with some .120 tube and plate.
