[QUOTE=mitsutuner93]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.[/QUOTE]

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

[QUOTE=jedimaster]No- they couldn't have- if they did, they would have been really unreliable and rice![/QUOTE]

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.

[QUOTE=Disciple][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.[/QUOTE]

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.
