[HOONIGAN] DT 164: 1988 Chrysler Conquest Gone Mad  

Black Sol Gingium is the king of DIY

Gingium lol no

Out of curiosity, what is your “pile”?

good thing i watched this just in time to change majors

Same thing Henry ford used to do, one time in one of his press conferences he was asked what something was made out of he said hold on let me call someone up, the people looked at him like he was nuts he said if I don't know how to build something I have someone else do it for me. Even the best don't know everything

This guy looks miserable and acts like he hates his car! Clearly not the case when you listen to what he has to say

23027 if he hated the car he would not work on the car as much as he does

@@Max-dr5wq lol I know! I mentioned that in my comment, once you hear him talk about it it's clearly a labour of love. He is just so monotone and unenthusiastic when he speaks!

@@23027 to a Scandinavian he just sounds....chill. IDK.

PommyDownUnder98 ,I agree man,this starion is one of the best looking cars out there,and would love to see it on build biology.fully mental.

Build biology is for the nerds like us that want to see the detail so I agree, make it as detailed as humanly possible and I’ll watch it. The abridged version can go on in the normal DT

Totally agree. Shit is unreal

Wel you got your wish

Give this guy his own segment on the channel

there was never much you could buy for the Conquest/Starion. Over 4 model years, they built less than 50,000 of the things. John's is the coolest of them!

Jp Kalishek these were built 82-89 and a special Technica edition in 1990. Yes but so few were built. I had a 83

M L, the closest I came to having one was a Conquest head shaved .060 on one of my '76 Colts (I swapped in a 2.6 from a Caravan, and 5-speed from a Challenger). Being as the block was a flat top, and this was the old dish piston head, premium only.

400... definetly not 500. He said it was at 400, anything more is a lie. 30mpg? I sincerely doubt that.

Anukloses why would he have to lie about something like mpg.....when something’s built correctly, it’s not too hard to believe.

That is actually about standard LS3 swaps

He is saying ~515 at the wheels with the LS3 and cam. The 30 mpg isn't hard to believe considering he's barely above idle at 60 mph in 6th gear. To the guy slamming him, you don't seem to know Jack shit to be making claims against his. Sounds plenty legit to me, mpg is aided tremendously with gearing and driving style.

Its all that aero. If it was just the stock body and no undertray and no splitter it wouldn’t get that mileage. It might get 25 if it didn’t have those things.

i was thinking the same thing!

lol

Tommy Glass right lol

He looks so happy for once

*featured in a video*

Should have EVO or a rotary. Would be 10 000 times cooler.

bergrud not really, most of its cool factor most definitely came from the body work.

There are currently 84 people that aren't. Bergrud is one of them.

ls is boring, a powerhouse, but boring. Should have a twin turbo 2j

I just said it's boring. Not easy to do the swap. If this thing had an inline 6 and turbo's it'd be even cooler! Opinions differ on the internet bud!

heretic30176 that was like a gta car description right there

Her name was Eryka... OMG... Just woman all the way from one to ten for me... Legs, darkskin Latina.. there are many but none like her... Never more... Never more... Never more...

lol lmao .... That's some shit right there

Car Lover mk2 Yeah this ones better 😬

😬? What do you mean by 😬.

i can change your mind on that, give me oneee minute

@@That1GS Bro's gonna show off his custom built Prius, let him cook

i was gonna pull up a link to riley stairs car but i fell asleep lmao @@Caffeinated-DaVinci

also dont have the prius anymore, hit a deer doing a top speed run. a whopping 108 miles an hour. now i have a 2G eclipse @@Caffeinated-DaVinci

Why I love living in Detroit

As do I.

REP THE MIDWEST MADNESS

SIGMOND I miss my home town

The emoji nailed it.

Elias Carrion I was thinking the same thing

His 240 is stock currently, but HELLA clean. He's gonna start building it soon. His instagram is @lazorj

Jason H starquestclub for life!

Haha I remember being a member and learning to delete the egr pipe with 2 quarters to plug the holes. Cost 50 cents every few months to replace them when they melted.

MotionWerks done right except for the LS. Should've went 4G63

C.R.P that was my thought. Was kinda bummed when he opened the hood and i saw the ls.

Agreed - I was disappointed, but not so much when I realized he was in the ultimate street car challenge.... and when I heard that lopey cam. lol

Upvote for calling it a starion.

dear god

I believe this to be true

I was just about to type that lol.

He could be his brother lmao damn

I thought the same thing 😂😂

Kikawas dad had a transmission shop or something, pretty much what swaggan said

Q

crazyjatt24 3:13 here in Michigan

crazyjatt24 apperently im also a fancy guy cauce im at 3:13

OptimizticPizza 4:53 now here in idaho lol mountain time

cafn8ed74 i kno how u feel now im in my 30's like let me finish this bug..🤔

Joseph Brogna this is the most excited I've ever seen kikawa

JoMaHa The thing is, this was done way before LS swaps were a common thing to do. There's other engines he could have bolted to the stock transmission, but would have costed more and pushed the stock transmission to the absolute limits when pushed passed 400whp. What's cool is he's built a few things for the guys in the community. He had the widebody fenders for sale, and even had 2 spoilers for sale. A drag spoiler and another spoiler which extends the stock ducktail hatch spoiler that he ran for a bit between running the GT wing.

I would've liked to see a 4G63 swap; but this car is beyond Dope,LS swap or not. But I look past and even appreciate the swap on this car; this machine is phenomenal!

Mitsubishi doesnt really make an engine that can reliably make the power and torque the LS does. They can make the power, but they wouldn't last 5 or 10 years on 20 or 30 psi the way he thrashes the car, and a 4 cyl sounds like shit compared to a v8. Plus its a track car, so an all motor smooth power and torque delivery is way better for grip than a 4 cyl that has boost come on at 3 or 4 thousand rpm.

I get your point about LS swaps being common, but they're common for a reason. You actually listed all the reasons, and when building a car, it's got to be hard to look past all that, especially building on a budget. And with the owner/builder being a GM employee, it's pretty fitting that it's LS powered. Plus, he's an engineer, so he's going to look at all the numbers and other factors. When you factor out wanting to be "different", LS is usually the way to go. Considering how many vehicles GM made with LS based motors, you can find them all day for cheap money, and even running, driving LS powered vehicles (I see a lot of cheap 6 liter 00's Denalis, for instance) for just a few grand. Not to mention the GIANT aftermarket for them. Now if I were building a hot rod or something vintage and going for an old school look, I would not go with an LS. However, if performance is the goal, it's hard to beat them.

I don't know if it would win, Andy Hately's LS E30 is probably louder.

No way, the E30 was loud but this Chrysler is even louder. This car has almost broke the mic, the audio was inaudible... The E30 was loud and you can actually hear the sound, this not. If the used the same mic, this is louder.

Jacopo Cadeddu Its not just that its loud. That sound, like nothing I've heard.

Iam full on car guy

TheHoonigans HELL YEAH!

Almost looked like a spambot there.

TheHoonigans mojito with kikawa episode please !!!!

why isnt the hoonigans logo in Need for speed this year?

Where is Darnell
