It was also marketed in North America as the Conquest under the Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth names; both the Starion and Conquest came to an end in 1989. Although preceded by earlier turbocharged designs such as the Porsche 930 (1975), Saab 99 (1978) and the Mitsubishi Lancer EX 2000 Turbo (1980), it is considered to be one of the originators of the modern Japanese turbocharged performance automobile genre.[1][2] The "Starion" name is claimed by Mitsubishi to be a contraction of "Star of Orion", although an urban legend claims that it was intended to be stallion, as a result of an "Engrish" mistranslation.[2][3] Contents 1 Background 2 Overview 3 Models 3.1 Japan 3.2 Australia 3.3 North America 3.4 Europe 4 Motorsports 4.1 Starion 4WD 4.2 Major results circuit 4.2.1 International 4.2.2 Japan 4.3 Major results rally 5 References 6 Further reading [edit] Background The Starion's appearance in 1982 occurred during a period in which a number of Japanese Grand Tourer (GT) sports cars were increasing in popularity. The Starion's turbocharged four-cylinder engine enabled it to be very competitive. During production, the Starion was produced in both a narrowbody and widebody (in later years). The narrow body model ran until late 1986 when the widebody first appeared with visible flared fenders and several performance upgrades including the addition of an intercooler, 5 bolt wheels replacing the four-bolt wheels it had inherited from the rear wheel drive Mitsubishi Galant Lambda. While Japan had a few various versions, in the United States market, there was only one model change when the car was upgraded to the ESI-r (Conquest TSi) model aka the widebody. Later in the US, the SHP model was introduced as a "Sports Handling Package" which included adjustable front and rear struts, and wider 8" front, and 9" rear rims, still 16" diameter of the same look. The SHP was only offered during the 88 and 89 models as a performance option. Notable improvements were made to ALL 88/89 Starions and Conquests however including the a stronger 5 speed transmission casing, and stronger 5 bolt rear axles, both capable of handling higher horsepower and stress. European and Japanese models had a limited slip differential as an option on these cars. It was standard on US models, as is the independent rear suspsension. The Starion and Conquest were also released in Australia with a 2.0 liter engine vs. the standard 2.6 liter G54B powerplant. In the United States, Mitsubishi opted for the G54B Mitsubishi Astron engine with a single-camshaft head (SOHC) rather than the dual cam head, and also for a throttle-body fuel injection setup which mixed the fuel with the air prior to entering the plenum chamber. Notable upgrades include MPI (Multi-Port-Injection) consisting of standalone engine management (programmable computers) to control individual fuel injectors, 1 per cylinder vs. the stock primary and secondary at the trottle body). Production ceased entirely by 1990, and its successor, the GTO was fitted with the mechanicals of the recently demonstrated Mitsubishi HSX Sports Coupe concept vehicle. Many of the performance features of the Starion were integrated into later vehicles and can be found in the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, in the Mitsubishi Galant VR-4, and the Mitsubishi Eclipse. [edit] Overview The Starion used a traditional front-mounted engine with rear-wheel drive layout, which most sports cars use. Many came with a limited slip differential and anti-lock brakes (single channel, rear wheels only) as standard features. The entire chassis was derived from the previous high performance variant of the Mitsubishi Sapporo or Mitsubishi Galant Lambda sports coupe, with a MacPherson strut suspension and swaybars that were fitted to front and rear.[1] Engine capacity was 2.0 L with the Sirius 4G63 2.0 L engine, subsequently featured in DOHC form in the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution series of automobiles. However, American customers received the larger Astron G54B 2.6 L engine, but without any additional horsepower. Neither engines were DOHC. After 1987, European Starion models were also fitted with the 2.6 L engine, as was the GSR-VR for Japan. Both engines featured computer controlled fuel injection and turbocharging. Horsepower varied between 150–197 hp (112–147 kW; 152–200 PS) depending mostly upon the turbocharger that was fitted, the presence of an intercooler, and whether the 8-valve or 12-valve head was used. The last of the Leaded Petrol Starion EX's sold in New Zealand had 8 Valves, an Intercooler and 168kW! A naturally-aspirated version known as the GX was also built for the Japanese market, however production ceased in 1983 due to low sales figures. The Starion GX had no power windows, no air conditioning, no independent rear suspension, no fuel injection and did not have power-assisted steering. Seating was a 2+2 arrangement, although the rear seats are not too suitable for large adults. The front seats were adjustable for lumbar, angle, knee support, position and featured variable-angle side-braces. One of the more unusual features was that the seatbelts were located in the doors for the driver and front passenger, and some American models featured electrically operated seatbelts. A five-speed manual transmission was standard in most models, however, an automatic transmission was sold as an option in some markets. The drag coefficient was around 0.32;[1][2] although quite angular, the aerodynamics were quite efficient for the era and around the average for a modern hatchback. It outperformed the Mazda RX-7 and the Nissan 300ZX upon its release.[1] [edit] Models A number of models existed throughout the world during 1982 to 1990. [edit] Japan 2.0 L 4G63 engine, apart from GSR-VR which has 2.6 L [Mitsubishi engine#G54B]. The Japanese domestic market had a large range of Starions to choose from. GX - 1982–1983 (non turbo) GSR-I,GSR-II,GSR-III, GSR-X - 1982–1984 GSR-II, GSR-III,GSR-X,GSR-V - 1985–1986 - can be distinguished from the earlier starions by driving lights in the front bumper GSR-V - 1986–1987 - some had Sirius Dash engine GSR-VR - 1987–1990 (widebody) The Roman numeral after 'GSR' denotes the vehicle specification. Some examples can be found below: GSR-I - base model GSR-II - power steering and electric windows GSR-III - improved audio system, trip computer system, digital dash cluster, and air conditioning. GSR-X - leather interior replaced the cloth, climate control, air conditioning, cruise control [edit] Australia 2.0 L 4G63 engine. Australian vehicles were mostly similar to the European Turbo specification. The J codes below denote the model version, and are found on the Australian Vehicle Information Plates. JA - 1982–1984 JB - 1984–1985 JD - 1985–1987 [edit] North America It was marketed in North America by Mitsubishi as the Starion from 1983 until 1989 and by Chrysler as the Conquest under both the Dodge and Plymouth names from 1984 to 1986 and under the Chrysler name from 1987 until 1989. 2.6 L G54B engine. with TD05-12A Mitsubishi turbocharger Mitsubishi LS ES ESI LE ESI-R - widebody, all others above are narrowbody Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth TSi Technica (this was a narrowbody package without intercooler) [edit] Europe 2.0 L 4G63 engine with MHI TC06-11A turbocharger, apart from GSR-VR which has 2.6 L 4G54 engine with TD05-12A TC.[4] EX II - flatbody with intercooler EX - luxury version Turbo - base model With the exception of Australia, many models were available as either narrowbody or widebody shell styles. 1987 Chrysler Conquest [edit] Motorsports Mitsubishi Starion (lightly modified) The Starion was a prominent competitor in motorsports up to International level during the 1980s and performed well on the circuit in Group A and Group N races of the era. Andy McLennan driving a Simmons drums sponsored Starion was very successful, picking up many race wins and a Monroe championship, this against the semi works car of Colin Blower.[4] In Holland, John Hugenholtz won the over 2L class in the Dutch Championship, with the Colin Blower-prepared Mitsubishi Dealers car. In the United States, the Starion became best known for successes in endurance racing. Starions from Dave Wolin's Team Mitsubishi, with turbocharged 2.6 L G54B engines built by noted Lotus engine guru Dave Vegher, captured the prestigious "Longest Day of Nelson Ledges" 24 hour endurance race four years running from 1984 through 1987.[5] Team Mitsubishi Starions also won the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) U.S. Endurance Championships three of those four years, competing against the fully factory-backed (Wolin's team was only partially sponsored by Mitsubishi) efforts from Chrysler, Audi, Nissan and Mazda. Although not commonly seen in modern motorsports, a number are still raced on both circuit and in special stage rally events, usually by privateers. [edit] Starion 4WD The Starion was not very successful off-road, but found victory in Group A World Rally Championships and Asia Pacific Rally Championships during 1987 and 1988. An all wheel drive version of the Starion was also produced for Group B specifications (one of the few Japanese automobile manufacturers to enter this class), but after an encouraging start as a prototype, it was not homologated before the FIA banned Group B cars for safety reasons. The Starion was converted to all wheel drive by adding a strengthened transfer case from a Pajero behind the transmission. This configuration allowed the engine to be situated well back in the chassis, for improved front/rear weight distribution compared to the Audi Quattro, whose configuration required the engine to be far forward in the car. Although the wheelbase did not change, the use of regular headlights rather than the production model's pop-up headlights allowed the nose to be six inches shorter, as well as saving several pounds in weight. Further weight was saved by the use of carbon fiber for the driveshafts, sumpguard, and lower arms of the suspension, and fiberglass for the hood (bonnet), tailgate, door skins, fenders, bumpers and spoilers, resulting in a final weight of less than 1,000 kg (2,200 lb), lighter than the Audi Quattro. The car was developed with a turbocharged and intercooled version of Mitsubishi's 2.0 L fuel injected engine, but the final goal was to use a turbocharged and intercooled 261 kW (355 PS; 350 hp) version of the Sirius Dash engine that Mitsubishi announced at the 1983 Tokyo Motor Show, which switched electronically at 2500 rpm from one inlet valve per cylinder to two. The car was campaigned for Mitsubishi by Team Ralliart in Essex, Great Britain, under rally veteran Andrew Cowan and engineer Alan Wilkinson, who had developed the Audi Quattro for Audi Sport UK.

But the turbocharged Mitsubishi not only looked good, but also went exceedingly well thanks to its turbocharged power unit shared with the Lancer Turbo. The Starion was constantly developed during its eight-year life, and eventually appeared in wide-body form as well as being powered by one of the modern-era’s largest four cylinder engines - a 2.6-litre. And before you ask, the name is actually a shortened form of ‘Star of Orion’.
