Hello everyone,

My name is Justin. Active duty military, stationed overseas and just purchased a 2012 Lancer GT, 6-sp cvt for my wife. Love the car and now makes me want to search and invest into an evo x for myself once I get back stateside. An automotive mechanic for the Air Force so no stranger to working on vehicles, passionate about making them better from factory, aka modding lol.

Hi Justin

Thanks for posting in the forum & giving us a little background. Yes, an X would be right in-line for someone like yourself

The 4B11 engine has some advantages over the older 4G63 & I have come to appreciate it more, as I have learned more about it

Stay active on EvOM, Daily

Hey Joe,

I've owned a 2G DSM w/ a 4G63T and loved every minute of it. I'm starting to love how easy the 4B12 is to work with and would love to break into a 4B11T as well. What kind of advantages are there?

The 4B11 advantages over the 4G63 are & not limited to:

• Alum vs Iron block (less weight)
• Both intake & exhaust valves are on the MIVEC system vs just the intake on the 63
• 4B11 has a true 4 bolt main vs the 2 bolt on the 63 (does have the girdle)

Theres more to debate, but those are my main points

Good article here:
