GDI Mod Potential
Hey Rax and pjal, could either of you tell me whether or not if they replaced the 4G63 with the GDI, if it would still have the same mod potential as the original 4G63? The 4G63 has huge mod potential. Does the GDI have as much support? That is what I want to know. At this moment I don't know if they released the Evolution VIII(and replaced the 4G63) is a good thing or not. Although it is more effecient and all, but does it have the mod potential to hold up the name of the Evolution line of of cars?

I doubt anyone has these answers, but an engine using GDI supposedly has 10% greater output and torque at all speeds. "To achieve power superior to conventional MPI engines, the GDI engine has a high compression ratio and a highly efficient air intake system, which result in improved volumetric efficiency."
I don't see why most of the normal mod's couldn't be used anyhow.

I agree with Mordeth; no one really knows at this point.
If did release the Evo VIII with a GDI engine, then it would only be a matter of time before all of the tuners have parts available.

This new GDI thing still scares me. If they came out with the evo VII here, and it had GDI, i dont know if I would get it. I mean, what high performence car has it already?? and it seems like such a new thing. to me, it reminds me of one of those gas/electric hybrids, they are way more efficient, and who knows, maybe mor torque for the engine size, but hell, would you ever see one on the strip??? it basically sounds like a good idea for a commuter car, but not for a car as high ranked as the evo, that already has respect around the world in countrys where it doesnt even yet exist. is on a roll, i hope they dont stop it.

I for one am not scared of the GDI. I don't know why every one has to trip every time some innovative technology comes out. The EVO has a **** load of well engineered technology, so why the scare over GDI. I guess the Honda crowd should have been scared of the VTEC
New technology is just part of the Evolution of new automobiles. I guess gave the EVO the correct name, since technology is what the EVO is all about.
Or maybe we should revert back to carbs, drum brakes, no power steering....

good point.......just dont know how it will be. i guess we are scared of change cause almost EVERY other car, that has "evolved" in the past year or so, has done it in a BAD way......we have integra to rsx, old impreza to new(boxier), evo 6 to 7 (worse looking), well im sure you catch my drift, I just hope something good comes of it.

Personally I think all three of the cars you named came out better in just about every way. Tried and true does not mean there's no room for a complete overhaul. If you don't build new platforms you'll never be able to progress. past a certain point.

I personally think that if Mitsu were to make the next Evolution car GDI then we'd see a higher displacement/higher compression engine making huge power without a turbo That don't sound like a bad idea to me

Stupid of me not to notice this before the GDI is meant to be a ULEV vehicle. With US emission standards I'd say it has the potential to become even an SULEV vehicle. I would say modifying this engine means you will not pass emissions. so the GDI might equal bad news for serious tuning although I could be wrong.

1stinline, I'm not scared of the change from the 4G63 to the GDI. Its just that the 4G63 has quite an extensive list of mods and was formed through time. The GDI is a new engine and all so would that mean it would take as long or longer to get as much mods as the 4G63? Maybe. Could anyone link me to a site that talks about this Evo VII with he turbo'ed GDI? I just want to know if I could mod the GDI to beyond the 4G63 or not? What is all this talk about emissions as well? Is the U.S. level to low or what?

I for one don't think the EVO has evolved in a bad way at all. I like the look of the VII, VI, V and so on. But the technology wrapped up in the VII in my opinion makes for a superior car that I am definately impressed with.
