Ill do that, sure.

But i guarentee the last thing you will want is a damn iron block to lug around the track. you'd switch to an aluminum deck ASAP.

 

Have faith my son and you'll see how a wet bird flies at night

Hey mike, If I may make a suggestion... I'd keep your "iron block" crap to yourself because it's a major turn off for prospective X customers that might otherwise do business with you. Even if you're just being honest about your opinions it still comes across as you talking **** about the X, and that's not good business sense. Just a tip, take it with a grain of salt.

 

^ Best post in whole thread

 

Sure thing.. Ill just sugar coat and tell people what they want to hear..

" the aluminum block is the probably going to be the most solid mitsu engine to date. I would feel comfortable throwing 50psi at it as long as it has sleeves"..


There is that better?? i dont beat around the bush its not my style.. I have an EVO X and we are modding it and testing many parts on it.. Ill probably blow one to pieces to find out what the limits are eventually.. when the aluminum block issues start arising ill save this thread to bring ti back from the dead and say " I told you so"..

The weight savings IMO do not outweigh the benefits of having a solid cast iron block for the purposes of drag racing of course.. Let it overheat badly a few times and see what happens as opposed to the cast block that can take alot more abuse.. Im not hating on it, i am just saying that there are benefits to aluminum but its not in HP area.

 

We hate change and fight it, we always will.

 

Yipes, everyone needs to calm down.

In time we will see how that wet bird flies at night...

Time will tell. Initially, Mike and a few of us are just skeptical, thats all. In the end, you will have two motors, and one will shine in one aspect, and one in another, that's all. No insinuations about either, hell, right now for all we know, the 4B11 might tromp the 4G63, we simply just don't know yet. Time will tell.

You can't knock someone for being a little skeptical at the moment because as it stands, aluminum simply isn't as strong as cast iron, with or without sleeves.

Everyone just needs to sit back and wait, time will show us how strong the 4B11 really is.

 

Thank you for your wonderful inmature comment. I noticed that you said that you're "outta here" but you keep hanging around like a floater in a toilet bowl.

To end this conversation and to keep you from popping back up from the drain pipes, let's all just say:

Aluminum block = Loser
Cast iron block = Winner

Happy now?

 

that's fair.

 

that is the point i made with 1000 whp
But on straight the 5-600 whp will help you a lot. With close to 1000 whp you will get serious traction issues.

 

just little oil on the fire for the 4G63 guys..
i just talked my ex team mates from hungary. They switched the non mivec 4G63 to the 4g63 mivec, so the IX.
This year they had nothing but troubles due the lighter mivec head, The cylinder 1 is always leaks and have less compression. They think because something with the mivec set up. Even when they got a brand new crate engine the number1 had a less compression.
Also he said after you took off the head the valves wont close anymore like it did before and so on...
Now I'm not a mechanic so i don't know how can i explain better what they told me in my native languages.

But i can tell you one thing for sure they wasn't happy at all. So after 16 years in the Evo the 4G63 still got issues... Why you think the 4B11 will be invincible after 6 months? And why is the : "that is why i don't trust comments"?
You 4G63 guys should , since this is the only future now with the Evo. And if you are really the evo guy at least you should give at least the thrust for the Evo engineers after 16 years..

PS: I took they word over any tuner shop here , since they using and racing Evos over 14 years . Build and rent them for other teams now...
Also they using them the most harsh enviroment : Rally . And on daily bases.

 

Drivers make a car sloppy but I don't think anyone is advocating building a 600 WHP X for track duty while retaining the stock suspension.

 

I dont understand the (RE)sleeve (I was under the impression the stock block was sleeved from the factory)

its good to see someone adding insurance to their motor though (hopefully the will need it)


as for the iron over AL wow drop it who really cares? in the end you all sound like nuts wingers.
