Me and my friend Lu head out to a small car meet. I have the silver 1JZ Conquest that made 750whp and Lu has the red 2JZ Conquest that made 900whp. Let’s go see if there’s anything cool at this car meet!
My son has a 2 JZ swap in his 86 Conquest. We did this swap at my house in my garage out back. The car is a copper color and has an 83 hood on it. Really impressive looking car. It has I believe a t77 Garret turbo. It has not been upgraded from that other than the fuel pump. I own a fully built 88 Conquest with the 2.6 liter 4. All chrome hard lines with a snider cam and Marnel head. An 18 G turbo. The engine is out while I replace a burnt piston. Over boosted while dialing in the GM maft. I will not make that mistake again. Multi port injection would be great. But the 2JZ is a really nice swap and looks like it came in it.
Wow, what a beautiful car and impressive garage (with a fussball table as well). I would dream, but at 58 I don’t think it will happen. Thanks for sharing!
The Conquest wide body cars are the sexiest cars EVER MADE!!!! Sad the stock motors were problematic. Far sexier than the Supras or Z cars ever were. And I was a Toyota parts mgr for many years. I came within $1000 dollars of buying a red ‘86 brand new and walked away from the duesche bag sales guy. These are getting uber hard to find in ANY kind of condition now. Nice vid! 💪🏻
It’s funny you say this. Go watch my “Introduction to the Conquest” video and listen to 2:00. That’s the same comment I hear from everyone. And it’s even the same for my own story.
@@LudeQuest were you having any issues with the starter? As of right now my solenoid only clicks but if I keep cycling the ignition it'll eventually kick over
@@LudeQuest that's what I thought at first but I bench tested the starter and it worked fine. I'll have to keep digging through the harness and find the problem. When turning the key sometimes it'll crank but most of the time the solenoid just clicks
The starion was sold in the United States also I think Mitsubishi made the conquest for Chrysler and then they put the same car out and called it the starion not many people knew how fast they were in their day I had a procharged 5.0 and I found out about the conquest by taking one lightly in the early 90's the conquest had some work done to it and was really quick I wanted one ever since especially now with all the technology that is out and you can really wake up them I would put a 4g63 in it since they are more reliable
@@lawrencecoleman7850 yeah, I think Chrysler refitted they're own engine, as the Mitsubishi Starion came with a 2 litre turbo four cylinder. The engine was a Mitsubishi gsr, the precursor to the lancer evolution series. Never owned one or drove one though was a car always in my mind if the opportunity arose, sadly that it never did. Closest I got to anything similar, special as such a creation. Was a Honda city series two wide bulldog body, 1099cc intercooled turbo @ 13 psi standard. Damn that was a hella lot of fun, so rare at the time (1998-2000ish) that maybe 2 or three existed in the whole of New Zealand, 120 kph in 1st gear, like driving an ice cube & no doubt 100% as hazardous, though I've been a safe skilled driver from a young age so no unfortunate happenings for me or occupants of the time. I solemnly regret ever selling it (under my fathers instructions after he himself had a drive of it sneakily) only to see it wrecked & written off in less than a year. I owned it for almost 3 years & it was driven daily. As rare jdm cars go it would stand to be worth around $45000 on the NZ market now (& the previous 10 years or so), at the time I purchased for $1050 regretfully.

@@NR-vw2rd Thank you sir. Glad you enjoyed the video.
👍🏻😎I bought a red Dodge Conquest brand new back in 1986. I loved that car and still miss it today.
I had a 89 blue one. Spun a crank bearing racing a mustang. Very cool cars
Damn that thing is so sick I had one back in the late 90s I loved it but I could never get it to run right and for long wish I kept it now
I'm currently saving money for a Conquest myself! Keep it up!😎👍
Keep after it. You’ll get one. I’ve had the silver one since May 2009.
Nice SE collection
Yo Henry. 🎉🎉🎉
The Conquest is the only car ever made with rims tailor made for the car and are so unique they are hard to replace with any other and look as good.
You mean you don’t like the Mustang wheels I put on mine? 😂

Thank you. I always thought they sat so aggressive with the factory widebody. Definitely a unique look.
@@LudeQuest You’re welcome. And great channel name too! 😎
My buddy had the same car in high school. Rad!!!!!

Had an 88 Starion. Was a dream car, biggest piece of crap I ever owned, miss it terribly.
@@MichaelTilley-c7b I won’t disagree. Lol. So many gremlins.
Damn that Hyundai was the real star of the show
Hey man i recently got ahold of a 1jz swapped conquest. Had a few questions for you in regards of the swap
I’ll try to help. What questions do you have?
@@LudeQuest were you having any issues with the starter? As of right now my solenoid only clicks but if I keep cycling the ignition it'll eventually kick over
@@jasongibson1996 No issues with starter. Sounds like you need another starter.

In other parts of the world (New Zealand) these were called a Mitsubishi Starion. Extremely rare these days though, almost non-existent to be fair.

You guys are in South Carolina 🎉
Yep 👍🏻
Do you have information for the people do the swap for you

Found your car on eBay not sure if it’s actually yours but anyways nice car
Yep. It’s mine. I’m just seeing about moving on to other things.
@@LudeQuest nice just making sure someone wasn’t coming fraud with your car
It would be sick if someone replaced all of the body panels with carbon fiber.
I have a red 1988 conquest with 55k on it .15k for sale
