It's little quips like the ones you've fired off, that cause threads to go off track when they are acctually meant to spark conversation, so that the thought process can beging about moding these new engines that nobody has a clue about yet, but you insist on finding some inforamtion negative of otherwise, to make you look as though your something special. When, in all actuality you idiots. That fact of the matter is, yes I do own a Honda. It happens to be supercharged Prelude and does well for a FWD car. I have many cars under my belt. Not to mention a Turbo NSX. Have you ever stoped to think for a moment that I have already built an Evo VIII. Grow the Eff up, and let progress continue, if you want to be here during the process cool, if not **** off. I'm out.

+1 lot of *******s around here.....funny thing is when there evo eventually ****s out there gonna be driving a honda or another car they are knocking right now..

cheers

An all-aluminum motor is certainly better with respect to handling characteristics (better weight distribution). However, in my experience, cylinder wall distortion and overall strength are the most common downfalls with high hp aluminum blocks. I used block filler to help my application years ago.

Handling is exactly what Mitsubishi is going for here, not that the Evo needs it, but I do think it will help the push in the corners when you too hot on the brakes. As for the cylider walls, one of the things I was wondering is, are we going back to the days of posting, or sleeving the blocks, which I dread. Most of the problems arise when you have to pull the motor just so you can have the machinist screw up the job, and then drop a sleeve. Talk about frustration. I will say that the block gaurd could be effective in this situation.

A thought: At what point, hp wise, does one see cylinder wall distortion on this block? If they have payed attention to detail, and if they have added reinforcements to the cylinderwalls we may be OK.

If there are any pictures of the "World Engine " blocks around that could help to identify some problems and remedies, that would help new X owners in their plight for massive power.

I like the interior, specifically the rear racing seats. But I will concede that it would be nice to see a bit more padding on them.

The should be able to keep the rear buckets with some modification. I don’t believe a racing harness in the rear would meet applicable U.S, laws however. So probably something like the RX-8 back seats with it’s full length console would be close.

I hope they don't do that in the real car. I need the space of a full bench. I have 2 kids, 2 car seats I need to put in there + some extra kid junk. The limited 2 person seating and the useless space taking rear console would kill it for me.

can't say the same for the wife. Hope there are "oh ****" handles for her.

The 4g63 stood the test of time. It's time to move on. I'm sure the mad scientist engineers working on the Evo X engine will amaze us all with it's tremendous power and tunability.
