1987 Chrysler Conquest TSi from North America - Comments

Many many things have gone wrong on this car.

The motor went at 130,500.

The rear calipers were froze up. Needed new breaks after a week of driving it, not sure if it had anything to do with trying to stop at 130 mph...

The muffler rusted off.

It popped out of 3rd gear.

Motor blew again at 157,090, probably from altering the waste gate for more boost - 13 lbs boost I think I was getting.

I loved the car to death, was very disapointed when my parents made me sell it due to the high cost of repairs and many speeding tickets.

It would eat a stock Mustang 5.0 up, beat a Camaro with a 350 hands down in a quarter mile.

Thought it was funny when people with V-6's thought they could beat me, just because it had a 4 banger...

I loved the handling, took curves at high speeds without having to worry about ending up in someones yard.

Could do cheerios till you got sick or ran out of gas, nice option.

The cost and availability of parts is a bummer though. I would buy everyone I could find just to have parts.

My friend also still owns his, but it is the actual Mitsubishi Starion. He also has 3 other Conquests for parts.

You fail to appreciate the finer points of mechanical engineering. This car was well ahead of it's time when it was produced as a joint effort between the US and Japan. I own a pristine version of the Conquest TSi with only 50,000 miles on it and I would never consider driving it in the manner you describe!!

Gotta agree with you man, this car is so much fun to go out and play with. I could not imagine not playing with the power. I just got an 87 conquest and it is great for a first car. Although I love my car my friend owns one that has put everything it has gone up against to shame including a tweaked beyond belief camaro.

I have a 1987 Chrysler Conquest TSI 2.6 turbo charged with inner cooler. I too love the car as much as you. she only has 92,000 miles I have trouble with oil pressure for some unknown reason. my oil pressure is not reading at all, she is burning oil and is burning out the number 4 spark plug other than that she runs like a champ. I also enjoy smoking the "muscle" cars along with the over powered lawn movers (hondas). if you could help me or give me any advice on the current problems I am experiencing at this time I would be very grateful. thank you in advance for your assistance in this manner. this car maybe expensive to repair and parts maybe rare, but I will never part with my car.

I have automatic conquest and I converted to stick not to easy I suggest the site www.racetep.com they specialize in starion/quest parts as for your oil pressure check under the car where your oil filter is there should be a tee connector or somthing close to that check to see if its leaking and or clogged.

I have a 1987 Conquest. I completly redid the engine, bored it over and now am trying to get more boost, I'm only geeting about 9. This is my second Conquest, I had one when I was 18 and 12 years later I found another one. This Conquest will never see a winter or another owner ever again.

Hi I have a 87 Conquest, It's an automatic and I was thinking of swapping it out for a manual. This car is really fast, I have never lost a race yet. I raced a 04 WRX and beat it I was really hard on the transmission and it over heated and blew out the front seal. That is why I am switching over to a manual. This is a great car to drive, I have people asking all the time who makes the car. It's a real head turner.

Hello, I have had four diff. conquests and loved them all. I am looking at buying an 88 conquest, but this would be the 1st automatic and was wondering if people build up these cars and still keep the auto. or does everyone go with the stick. any info pros/cons would be greatly appreciated thanks

I just bought an 87 conquest and thought that it was a 6 cyl for the speed and torque that it has... I cannot believe the power that the car puts out for a 4 banger... the best part about it is that I got the vehicle for 700 dollars and there is only 57000 original miles. I raced a s10 with a 350 in it and left him in the dust plus a raked out chopper and also left him in the dust... if somehow I destroy this car I'm deffinitely gonna own another... They are unbelievable.

I need some help, I have an 1987 conquest. awsome car by the way. I sat it on our parking lot for the winter. I started it up agter sitting all winter to pull it in the garage and I ran it out og gas! I went to the station and got gas for it and now the darn thing won't start! anyhow my question is, do they have a fuel censor on thin because the fule pump is working please help me I love this car!!!
