The Mitsubishi Galant first presented back in 1969. It wasn't until 1987 that a high powered version presented with the 2.0 turbo machine producing 200 bhp. Looking at the high specs Mitsubishi Galants we get to looks the true potential for a Mitsubishi Galant tuning project. In order to compete in the WRC Mitsubishi produced the VR4 a highly tuned road going version using the 4G63 machine. This formed the basis of the later Mitsubishi Lancer Evo and is a favorite machine choice for FTO owners.
The long run of this machine ensures that there are enough of mods and tuning parts available for it. The machine are solid and reliable and can put up with a lot of additional power until you want to create internal machine modifications. The later VR4 in 1992, was kitted out with a more delicated V6 engine fed by a twin turbo. With the full attention of Mitsubishi on the Lancer the Galant was relegated to be more of an executive saloon than a road burner.
On the 1992 VR4 Galants we would strongly recommend that you upgrade
the suspension to give a tighter handling ride (other years come with reasonably good suspension setups as standard). By 1996 we saw Mitsubishi turn its attention back to the Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 and they introduced a 2.5 litre V6 engine - the 6A13TT. This has to be the machine of choice as far as the tuner goes.

Avoid the tiptronic gearbox as this saps a lot of power from the wheels and go with a 5 or closer ratio 6 speed box instead. An estate or station wagon version of the VR4 was offered and was badged the Legnum, essential with the same running gear as the Galant. In 2007 ralliart were let loose on the new Mitsubishi Galant and obtained a stonking 260 bhp from the V6 engine.
This model revision from 2004 is a lot heavier than previous models so we would favour the early Mitsubishi Galants as tuning projects. This is borne out by the large quantity of parts around. On all turbo models you will make substantial power gains simply by getting the engine remapped. Some owners swap the twin turbo setup for a larger turbo to make big power, although this setup is somewhat laggy low down.
Non VR4 model owners usually look to the VR4 parts bin for suitable upgrades. Engine swaps are popular with our Galant owners and when you have the turbo you get one of the best tuning bases around. If you have a standard Mitsubishi Galant we would recommend that you uprate the brakes and suspension using VR4 spec replacements where available.
