local spacegear or starex???

OT lang. yan ang OK sa 4D56 ng Starex. you can use Mitsubishi parts....but i heard na hindi naman talaga 4D56 ang engine code ng Starex 2.5L but you can ask for 4D56 parts and specify that you'll put in a Starex.

btw, i really love the 4D56 engine and the parts sharing is really true, my adventure currently has a fuel filter (for Starex) and a crankshaft from a Pajero.

Malamang, since exclusive yata yung engine code designation sa Mitsubishi eh.

DB44 ata ang code nun? Just not sure. But it is a licensed version of the 4d56.

Hmmm...so Euro Benzes are prone to fires also since they have fire equipment as standard?

A First Aid Kit is standard on Benzes, too. Maybe the owners are prone to injuring themselves while driving their Benzes?

There is also sa spare tire along with a jack, tools and EWD. German cars with subpar tires prone to flats?

My rig has fire equipment, medical equipment, recovery gear, etc. Holy crap, I'm the master of disaster!

I'm not worthy.

Oo nga, some subic spacegears I driven, I really think their power is too much...

and thats what one of our customers said so recently, comparing to his Eagle and Passenger Jeep...

on the other hand... someone posted that his starex is strong too, because even without using boost, the power is still enough... and no doubt for me... mas maganda yung itsura ng Starex.

I think the best answer to the question is...

Manual Transmission or Automatic Transmission? Coz, if A/T, only Starex has that option unlike the Local Spacegear. Sometimes, you'd think that Mitsubishi Philippines don't wanna sell their cars/vans here in the Philippines... Just think about the it, the local spacegear does not have a front cupholder unlike those Subic spacegears. Also, the front passenger seat is not even reclinable unlike again on the Subic ones and the Starex. The aircon control on the local spacegear is manual obsolete sliding type unlike the fully digital controlled ones on the Subic. 4D56 Turbo only on the local unlike the Intercooled ones from Subic.

Parang sabi ng Mitsubishi Philippines.... BUMILI NALANG KAYO SA SUBIC OR MAG STAREX NALANG KAYO!!! To add to this insult... the local spacegear came out with A/T tranny but on a gas guzzler engine and still with the non-reclining front passenger seat!!! Parang sinasabi nila "WAG NA KAYO BUMILI NG LOCAL SPACEGEAR!!!"

Keeping the L300 tradition alive (non-reclining front seat). hehehe.

Ironically, the A/T of the Starex is also manufactured by Aisin. The same guys that manufacture A/T's for Mitsubishi.
