v6 cyclone engine?

Howdy all, new to the forum.  I'm currently a mazda enthusiast, but my first car was a turbo galant.  I've got a Q that maybe some of you folks can answer.  My friend recently blew the 6g72 8 valve 3.0 litre v6 in his diamante.  He got it back today and we were checking out the new engine.  I believe its a 24 valve dohc engine out of a non turbo 3000gt, but the valve cover says cyclone?!?.  I know the JDM 4g63 had a cyclone intake on some of the engines.  Was a cyclone v6 an option and does anyone know what car it may have come from.  I don't think its a USDM engine.  Thanks.

The cyclone engine is off of the FTO if I am not mistaken.  Diffently not a USDM.  I wonder how it got in there?

No- the Syclone is a GM engine- AWD and turbo!

GM actually used Mitsubishi engines. 

No- they couldn't have- if they did, they would have been really unreliable and rice!

So let me get this straight.  Because they used Mitsubishi engines this made it rice and unreliable?  Dodge Chrysler just to name a few used Mitsubishi Engines.  Alot of manufacter use Mitsubishi parts.  Half the turbo set ups out there use a Mitsubishi turbo.  Here are some examples...

3000GT--- Dodge Stealth,  Mitsubishi engine 6G73 used in the Diamante--Dodge Avenger--and the Chrysler Sebring.  Eagle Talon--Mitsubishi Eclipse 4G63.  Just to name a few.

Heh Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth did use Mitsu engines.  You should research a bit more before you open your mouth.  I have seen a few Cyclone intake manifolds on USDM cars in my local junkyards on early 1g Eclipse/Talon/Lasers.  But none of them had the duel runner type intake manifold so they werent "real" cyclone intake manis, just had cyclone stamped on em.  So idk what you have, it "could" be from the FTO, but I highly doubt it...

Not true- where are your sources? Did this come word of mouth?

[QUOTE=jedimaster]Not true- where are your sources? Did this come word of mouth?[/QUOTE] Well, I'm not them by any means, but I'm willing to bet that they got their information from actually looking under the hoods of said cars.... It is true.

lol,  Well tell me young JediMaster where are you getting your information from?  Like Disciple said I am getting my info by actually working on cars and my years of experience.

Tell you what.  I see that manybrews is on this board too.  He is a Mitsubishi mechanic if it is the same manybrews that I know.  He can probally tell you a good number more of examples that I have not.

an 8v V6 eh....thats pretty amazing....but basicly u should research befor u post....and the intake might have been swaped on there....because i currently have a cyclone intake sitting in my room awaiting to be put on my hybrid which is sitting right by it....

If anyone knows where i can fine myself a 95' EPROM ECU from a GSX or GST pleas let me kno...thats all im waiting on to swap my motor in

Chrysler no longer uses mitusishi or vice versa it was either 97 or 98 the eclipse no longer had chrysler engines

I never seen a GM with a Mitsu Engine but then again i work for mitsu and not GM

now i'm a proud American but i have to say this, just about any american car is built in either mexico or canada now how American is that ?

where on the other hand a good portion of the (RICE) cars are built right here on our soil so

which cars are really American cars,

I do know that My Big Block Chevelle is American because it was built with My 2 American born Hands In my American soil based garage with all American Manufactured parts and paid for with US In God We Trust Dollars

The Chrysler Sebring if I remeber right still uses a Mitsubishi engine. 

The Eagle talon use a mitsu engine same as the eclipse uh???

Eclipses stopped using chrysler engines when the 3g's came out.  So production-wise, in 2000 the eclipses used mitsu engines in all models.  However, since the DSM factory dissolved in 1998(technically in the mid 1997), i always did wonder where the 99 eclipses got their engines from.  I know they're 420As, and i know that the factory was over with in 98, but it doesn't make sense?!?!  Also, did MMCA come about in 2000 because the dsm factory shut down?(Mitsu-tech i'm looking to you)
