BIG Turbo 500+hp Galant VR-4, AKA the Mitsubishi Evo's Grandfather
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- Before the Mitsubishi Evo, there was another venerated AWD turbo'd sedan in the DSM lineup: the Galant VR-4. AWD, 4G63 powered, and relatively light compared to any modern sheetmetal. While this car may look unassuming to most, it comes with some proper rally pedigree and a serious 500+ engine build. And SO MANY TURBO NOISES.

It’s 4G63T?
Im still driving a 91 vr4 evo o here in Australia an have owned a vr4 since 18yrs old an just turned 38 lol
I'm a simple man, i see a galant vr4, i click like.
Most people had no clue Galant VR4’s were still around. This video was made you and the handful of other people that still liked the Galant!
Same here
Hoonigan AutoFocus Thanks!
Not just simpel but also smart. One of the most underrated cars out there.. I owned a few and lancer 2,0 stc sport.. They cant be killed. I abusede Them sooo Much. They just kept on going.
Fr
this is one of the best mitsubishi in the world those cars are so underrated , even the wagons there is even a AMG version of this car but its so rare
when you know, you know my boii
Funny enough, The Andre that he refers to in the video, has a BUNCH of those AMG parts. The valve cover is BEAUTIFUL!
AMG parts are pretty pricey, yeah. Just the AMG spoiler is 4000$ alone
that was before amg was part of Mercedes
th-cam.com/video/0X3Gjd32JVI/w-d-xo.html
Would rather have this than a GTR
Or an evo these things are beast, go look up the amg version
my old coworker had a pretty beat up one. i didn’t believe it was turbo until he did a pull leaving the parking lot 😂
Go low ball him on the price and pick it up for us!
Hey. I’m the Andre that Brett was referring to. The feature turned out awesome.
I’m still hoarding mine...
You're a good man
There’s plenty of these still running around in New Zealand you need to come here and film our car culture
I destroyed the motor in one of these in the late 90's, heading to a sound off in Wellington, only made it as far as Taupo where the motor went full nuclear meltdown. I pushed it into the BP servo where the pipes are. Light, my ass...
Lmao they trash it around here in the philippines. Im hyped up to beef one of these sometimes and the supply of jdm goodies is unlimited!
I saw 1 Nissan Skyline 1 supra 1 Subaru gc8 NZ is turning into Japan now
This reminds me of my mispent youth modifying these as well as all the other great Japanese hot vehicles we had access to in NZ. The other really tunable car that is from the same era was the all wheel drive Mazda 323.
When BadBoyKillers C.C was at their height back in 2001 onwards and THESE (and the zr4 & evo 1,2,3 🤪 )were a staple diet in that Club LMAO
Actually this would be more like the lancer evolutions dad...
My buddy had a galant Vr4, Starion, and Chrysler conquest TSI all at the same time. Man the Love for DSM and Mitsubishi stays strong.
only conquest is dsm
Here in new zealand everyone wanted the vr4 (evo-O they are worth gold now haha
Damn straight my bro hahahah
Hearty g
🤙🏼
I moved to new zealand and bought a mitsubishi galant VR, I then found out shortly after about the VR4. I got the one with FWD and no turbo -_- still a V6 luckily
a mate had one & we use to take it to the drags back in the day, good times, the sound of the downpipe whhhhaaacckkkkkkkkkkkkk!
Love that the Galant VR-4 is getting recognition once again. I've been following Brett's build of his 2 VR-4's since I acquired my 87 JDM model almost 3 yrs ago. Both of his VR-4's are pretty amazing as well as numerous other examples around the world 👍
Appreciate that, Matthew!
Brett's GVR4 is a beautiful Galant and a amazing build. Definitely inspiring for me to get mine up and running again. Congratulations Brett...well deserved!!
Hey whats up where can I get parts
@@valdonjoseph5364 Same place Brett does... from us.
Thanks @MrGalantGuy!
What @Wheelwell said!!!
Mitsubishi's first rally legend. I have an 8th gen vr4. Very nice fun cars.
nice i've got the e88 vr4
The 8th gen looks better IMO
Got the EC5A as well. Would prefer the Legnum to be honest
@@rockerpeller5346 honestly I prefer the EC5A, the EC5W is a cool estate car and all but I don't do much hauling so no need for all that cargo space.
Galant EA0 here with a fully built 4G63T. Don't like the 6A13TT of the VR-4, always was and always will be a 4-banger.
YO! I KNOW DRE!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!! such a small world! Can't wait til he gets his Galant finished!
Great video guys...awesome vr4 ...what do i have..i got an 83 starion... 92 vr4..#92 ....an a evo 4 powered 01 mirage coupe....my kid drives an 09 lancer an the wife drives an 19 outlander gt.....mitsu for life....I live in levittown Pa...
haha i have an 2003 outlander, 97 mirage 4dr, 95 tsi awd, 96 gst, 97 spyder, 2015 outlander sport. I'm from levittown PR haha
My last car was a Mitsubishi. Most unreliable car I've ever owned by far
Yeah cool as car. In New Zealand we called them the EVO 0. There were heaps of them. but sadly due to the young boyracers. So many were losted to the junk yard. Still a big fan of this car. Aweome to see
Not all of them were Evo 0's. They are even rarer. Used to have one but it burnt to the ground. 🙁
@@maccoretti good friend of mine bought a nana-spec vr4 auto, became his Daily then BY CHANCE found an Evo-Zero at a Car dealership in Otahuhu (2002). Bought straight away for 13K and is now parked in his garage up north......turns key just to keep her going then puts back in garage 😭😭 He still has both Cars 🤣
Beautiful car man, tastefully modded and most importantly you're keeping it alive and well while also driving it and not squirreling it away like collectors do so often.
These cars were basically the Evo's daddy. My first car was a base version of this gen Galant and I've also had few pmmm AWD Eclipse turbos. I've always wanted a Vr4 so badly. I miss my Starion (turbo/oem widebody) and I will replace it someday and have one of these. It's such a cool bit of jdm history and specifically Mitsubishi's rally legacy which was actually quite a glorious thing for Mitsu. Tom's Turbo garage here on TH-cam is worth a sub and he's got one of these unicorns.
We have a lot of these in nz we call them evo zeros they were the car that started the evolution era. They also won car of the year 1989 great cars
we call them VR4's, but their was a evo zero version of the vr4.
@@xsduprwd3937 Yeah there vr4s to us to mean cars getting bit rare now even zr4s the hatch back version
Vr4 rs is with the sun roof and manual windows also known as evo0, amg was classy model and the there was 4ws also.
In Malaysia we have a lot of these rebadged by Proton. 6a1x turbos and 4g63t's swaps galore. They are really tough and durable cars. Parts are getting harder to get by the day though.
I can't believe I'm actually seeing this on video that isn't old rally footage. I've always had love for these things.
Same car as my dad, Patrick TAUZIAC he was factory driver for Mitsubishi Ralliart Team on WRC
I currently drive a 94 TT V6 Sport Hatch Galant, but there's some special about a VR4 I cannot lie. Great car man, Keep it rare.
What car do you feel deserves a big turbo straight from the factory?!
1991 Honda Civic EF Hatch
All the V8 anythings
every car needs a big turbo.
Eclipse cross. JDM name means it needs a big turbo and blow off valve. 👌🏼
miata is always the answer
Respect to anyone making over 100 hp per cylinder.
Lol JDM visors are expensive 🤣 the visor on my 88 MR2 SC is worth like $300 like wtf for a visit hahaha
I'm enjoying watching your good video.
I support you in Korea.
Thanks for watching! Shout out to Korea!
We had good few of these in ireland in the 90's, not one left.... Savage build!
bro here in New Zealand they got the label of ZR4 pretty much a VR4 hatchback my dad had a ZR4 and it was a V8 killer !
Car forums are where it's at! Thank all of you diehard forum guys that selflessly share so much information!
Dude, only if forums could go back to what they were 8 years ago. Car forums were the best places to hang out in before spam started taking them all over...
Internet roast & knowledgeable
2 forums still true to the cause: www.galantvr4.org and www.dsmtuners.com
I have one of the few hundred sold by Mitsubishi Australia. Got a 2.2 stroker build with a cnc head and Kelford 272s underway. :-D
I had 741/2000 an awesome car... when it ran. But it was such a fun car in snow, or on dirt.
i have a 2003 galant but love that one is beautiful awesome motor berry clean keep it like that bro👍
This Galant is so clean, hope mine can be half as nice someday! (I have 831/2000)
So many galant in my country look like shit.. this car not really rare in indonesia
There was one of these VR4s for sale down the street from me about 10 years ago for $1500, didn't have the money then. I really wish I did at this point in time.
1865/2000 checking in.
Sup....
Kinda sad mitsubishi discontinued it's sports coupes and sedans in production....but this galant vr4 will remain a classic...
I actually worked on an official WRC version of this, mighty fast!! amazing feature! and like WHAT?!!! SUPER STREET is still publishing?? I thought they went a little while after Turbo, gonna subscribe!
I've always oogled on this car when everyone was raving about EVO's and sh*t. When I saw it in Forza Horizon, I bought the game ASAP just to get me closer to this beauty!
Set the way for all the evo's to follow.....💪👍
(And the dsm/eclipse) sorry nearly forgot them but I'm a evo guy....
How can you dislike this? Awesome car.
Man, after watching this video, I really miss my 91 VR4...
The 10 years that I owned it, went to many street race and threw many people off.
Now I kind of want to look for another one, but I know it would be impossible to get my hands on one...
There is a lot of this thing in asia so probably import it was the only way
carsandbids.com/auctions/K1BVvx8n/1991-mitsubishi-galant-vr-4-turbo
Video turned out awesome! I was laughing with you guys regarding everything. Sounds exactly like my car from the turbo to the interior rattles on coast down.
Hey sounds great where can I get parts though
That thing scoots man. I love it. Mitsubishi Forever
This was my first TURBO car, absolutely loved it !
Bruhh, come to New Zealand if you want one of these. Heaps of them still left here lol
Your Mum I was about to say the same. These are a dime a dozen in NZ lol. Good cars
I guess I need to get one of these imported I've had 2 Galant GTS from the early 2000 I am a Mitsubishi boi at heart
This is my dream car back in early 90's. In my country it is Mitsubishi Eterna FWD 2.0 4G63 NA. Have a chance drive it ten years leter and it is really comfortable and fun to drive.
Check out our 1991 dodge Colt 4G63 Turbo Build! We add content weekly. We do have a galant project in the works!
Much respect for DSM based cars, my buddy had a 90 AWD Talon in high school (I graduated in 2001) and we used to go to Sacramento Raceway and smoke all the old guys in their built Corvettes, it ran low 10's which was insane back then
10’s in the early 2000’s was a big deal. We’ve seen some crazy DSM’s at Irwindale that just smash on other drag cars.
@@LarryChenPhoto yeah one time we went there was a RACE TEAM with a red C5 that was trailored in because it was built and not street legal and my buddy beat him by a car so they plugged in their laptop messed around a little and asked my buddy to run it back and got beat again and they did this maybe 5 more times got beat everytime eventually put the car away and took off, we drove the car their and it was registered.... Now days it wouldn't be on the road probably but back then you could give your local smog tech $100 and he'd "pass" any car
Super auto. miałem takie tylko wersja silnikowa 1.8 diesel :) Fajny filmik tego wspaniałego auta.. Chciałbym mieć jeszcze raz taki samochód :)
There are a few of this still running here in the Philippines as well. And there was one owner who's around his 80s who has a darkish green galant (I don't know the color name). But damn the car is so fresh and clean all stock. He even has the stock mags for it like its brand new. So damn cool to see one of this still alive and running.
Hot damn!
My friend is building one for last 2yrs :D ... White regular 4wd Galant with originally Sohc 4g63... Rly looking forward when he'll finish it
man, that car just gets better looking the longer I lay eyes on it.
Vr-4 is 90s baller
i love galants, the grills / front looks so good
It has such a traditional early JDM design. It’s perfect.
I’m very surprised he didn’t hit the change color switch.
Yeah for the speedo? that's a cool feature!
You know....thats funny you say that. He should have blown his mind.
Not sure how I forgot to mention this...It's one of the most interesting and obscure factory touches the car has!
Nice! also my dream car. I am currently rebuilding a 1982 Mitsubishi lancer
I owned 78/1000 a 92 these are great cars. I also have the orginal meme of the grocery getter of this car hah
th-cam.com/video/nGATKqpWU64/w-d-xo.html 5500 rpm studderbox keydiver chip, 3g maf, evo3 turbo , fp many, ets fmic... what such fun cars these are. I removed 4ws with a lsd 1g diff.
this thing is sick. 500 awhp in that car has got to be a blast
It’s crazy how hard the turbo comes on, and yet you get little to no wheel spin.
There's a community of this Gallant in Indonesia, but we don't get the VR-4 version just ordinary version 2.0L N/A. This Gallant called the Mitsubishi Eterna, why they don't use gallant name? Because mitsubishi Indonesia kinda f up for the previous generation and it didn't sold well so they're afraid using gallant name. Aight, in Indonesia the community name is KOMET (komunitas Mitsubishi Eterna) they have a Facebook page. Might check them out if you're curious about it.
Where is the 3000 GT VR4 content? Eclipse GSX?!
Recent Z32 autofocus video got a ton of views! We HUNGRY for that underserved JDM content!
Thank you for build and keep this GVR4 (The Evo0) as your tuner car.... Not much people know about this rare car history especially as first Main Weapon of Rally Car from Mitsubishi and become The big boss and The Legend of Rally with Impreza WRX 92 from Subaru as hot competitor in that time.
I have this car too as my daily car, but the condition is not much good now and I cant repair all because the parts here is very expensive and very rare.... This video give me inspiration to keep this car and someday can build this car like yours.
Around 4:20 I think what you're looking for is, PERIOD CORRECT...drooooool.
I know one for sale in WASHINGTON state. I can sell the link. It’s a limited edition number 1150 out of 2000.
Oh WoW 😳 This GVR4 is so freakin clean. Great feature!! Gives me so much inspiration as I myself just recently picked up a 88’ JDM RHD GVR4. Hey Brett, Hit me up man. I’m also a MD resident as I live in Frederick. Let’s do lunch and talk GVR4s man 👍
Sorry man, I'd love to but located in SoCal now.
GSTwithPSI oh dang, good deal man. Perfect scene for a ride as rare and clean as yours 👍
Larry stop bieng mean to the 90’s maxima’s lol a turbo charged vq35 swap 4th gen maxima would eat that thing awesome build
Yea but not many people swap 4th gens let alone have them running lol. None the less all of them are on the east coast and they rarely come here to the east
Very beautiful example of a VR4!!!! I have the 91' hatchback but 2L NA stock engine FWD. The one I have was built for comfort but I could do with some more power. I absolutely love it as it was an over-engineered car for the era. I would not have fitted the titanic turbo though because I hate very high boost thresholds but if he loves it then I can't see why not :)
Super cool car. My boy had one. Broke my heart when he sold it.
Best memory is when we took it to Englishtown NJ Mitsubishi vs Subaru day. All the Evo guys lost their shit when we pulled up. There was no parking and they moved to Make a spot for that car. LOVE IT!!
2sum horse stock but with a mild set of injectors few degrees of timing a turbo timer and the dsm bible = an easy 3-400 horse also the motors were rushed bc of the demand so theres all kinds of un trimmed cast edges in the heads so if you ever find a stock untouched daily driver and plan on building it u have to do the head its not too hard just search jeffromobil on TH-cam theres an instruction vid 👌🏼
Visit Malaysian galant forum. U can find a super rare part. This car is famous for purist mitsubishi owner here. In Malaysia only some people have the coupe hatch galant variant.
I love my '91 VR-4!
I bought her in '93, and she is still 99% stock with just over 150K miles on the clock. I have been lucky to enjoy her as the sleeper she was back in her early years, but even now at 28 years old, she is still a hoot to drive as my daily!
The vr4 has a proud heritage of ruleing the streets in the 90s here in new Zealand, only the DOHC TURBO Interplay mazdas were as deadly, full time 4wd.
That's a mint car, and the no power below 4k rpm is why people do stroker kits on these engines...VR4's are all over the place in NZ but still not many that clean.
Wow! I had a 92 Nile Black a couple years back. Extra clean
Я конечно не понял ничего(из за незнания английского). Но машина просто охуенная. Автор канала, спасибо тебе большое. Эта машина- моя мечта. Я давно такую хочу. И еще я увидел как ее затюнинговали. И еще сильнее захотел. Я бы вас позвал на восстановление моей машины, которую мне подарили на день рождения. Мы бы сняли как переобразовали ее. И затюнинговали у меня всё для этого есть. Тоже Galant. Но увы, вы далеко от меня живете. Еще я правда не знаю где взять кованые поршня, шатуны, титановые клапана на двигатель 4g63. Но думаю мне с этим помогут)
I remember my godmother got one of these all red one It was a big deal LOL
That’s what we call the evo 0 here in nz still heaps around just don’t see them to often but the price tag on one of these 🤦🏽♂️
thanke you of your video very good and beautifull... i have a mitsubishi galant 1993 7G and i love GALANT all times... kiss you GALANT
Noti Papi Here 🤘 😎🤙 Hoonigan On 🔥🔥 With The Back To Back Uploads ❤️💯🤘
sad that guy who is shooting these videos can not mutch about cars and car culture. Come to Sweden you will see all sorts off cars and you can talk houres engine, traction, clutch
The car featured on Super Street: www.superstreetonline.com/features/deserves-no-contest/
damn man, reminds me of my old Talon AWD. That same sensation at about 350hp
also, DSM guys are a strange breed of fanatics. They're like the evo dudes before there were evo dudes
Thailand & Malaysia has load of Galant but in that good condition .... not much
Now he needs to get the rest of the crew on the dsm/csm life. Next should be a Colt awd swapped 😊 to bad king Colt has been parted out he'd a really shit his pants in that
Old but gold, Amazing perfect n love it !!!
The owner of the if the Galant looks like a movie character but I can't point out who though
Inglorious Bastards?
Had one for 5 yrs with a tdo6-20g and bolt ons, smashed it daily only thing I ever broke was a transfer case and some cv boots now n then ,was super reliable.
I got one need help fixing it up or I just got to sell it am in Jamaica its a really good car
Proud owner of a GVR4 #456 of 1000 my Gray Lady. Long Live 4G63💢
Awesome build, miss mine badly (Original owner) VR4.org, great group
Haha. I still use this car. 1st version of vr4 e30. 4g63t vr4 is the best. Use it for daily drive too. Hahaha.
One of my local dealerships have one of these for sale, but it’s actually imported from Japan
the rear angle of harness belts doesn't look that right (safe).
My stepbrother had a zr4 all the same I think but it was a lift back. Remember it being a heavy boat of a car.
My dad had one, and my younger brother crashed it few months ago, im so freakin sad about it cause i had plan to restore it .. im sad watchin this
What turd doesn't plug VinWiki on keeping track of the G-VR4?
My first car was a Mitsubishi Galant 1994 . Dreamed about this car.
Who remembers the Mitsubishi cyborg . The turbo ones. They were cool too.
This beast is hiding in my state? Damn, I gotta keep my eyes open!
I have had a few of these,,, really really cool cars... which had kept the last one,,, super comfy, fast with some mods, reliable as well,,
