Pajero Owners Club of South Africa

Hallo All,

I would like to know something as I am fiddling with the idea of swapping the 6g72 for the 6g75 motor.

Reasons for doing so is that I will gain more power and torque.
Better technology
Much newer motor
6g72 lifter issues will be bygones...
Current 6g72 will need to be fixed as it is using oil... Heads needs attention that will need cams lifters and also seals and guides.

I need to know whether someone did the check already in regards the blocks of the 6g72 vs 6g75 will it fit my current bellhousing? Management system I will stick to the current of the 6g75 and for the simple reason if it will not need to much adjusment before I will be able to drive the vehicle again....

I want to stick to Mitsubishi as it is reliable and when one day someone wants my to buy my vehicle they will open the hood and will see it is the Mivec motor but will still be comfortable to purchase it.

Advise will be appreciated.

David

Hi there

The block of the 6G72 and 6G75 has mostly the same mountings and bellhousing etc in general.Only small minor differences.The deck height of the 6G75 block may be a bit higher.As to the management system,is your 6G72 Mivec or not?I think that will become tricky!I have quite alot of 6G72 parts but they are all the Japanese version SOHC V6.I find them to be very reliable.I have fitted a GTO TT motor into a Gen 2 Pajero before and only had to do a few modifications.
Just love the fact that parts are so interchangeable on these lovely machines!

Gen 2 with a GTO TT(twin turbo?), that must go like a racing car on steroids

How does the Japanese SOHC V6 differ from the local one?

Hey Gents!

How did you fare with the swap?

@ Boerkie, Is there any chance you have a set of Mivec heads available? or a complete motor?

Best!
