After thinking about it for awhile, the evo is the pinnical of Mitsu enthusiasts. The people at mitsu must know that the enthusiasts want more, and they must also know that if the put out a poor product there will be a huge decline in sales from the enthusiasts and the track teams that run rallying. Hopefully, then have come up with a new motor, that at first glance resembles others, but will dominate all. After all someone has to kill those STi's!

 

C'mon your smartert than that, there alot of things that won't make him 'like' an evo, the most important, he won't have AWD.
That's what I don't get either. People on her talking foolish about the 4B11 compare to the 4G63, when nobody has seen it, touch it, ran it or mod it.
+1

Seems like everybody here is doubting or smartert than Dr. Evo. Maybe he should join the forums and take notes, or better yet he should fire his team of engineers and higher you guys,
Actually, you can't fault MMC for that, you can put the blame on MMNA.
Oh my, c'mon man... you haven't even seen the engine perform yet. The reason it's called evolution is because it evolves. With each new iteration, the evo gets better and better. Why would it be any different this time around?

 

its the EVO X its gotta be good. X!!! 10!!! TEN!!! Will it ever stop??!

 

seriously!!!

in 10 years, these will be the car to own........

 

Is it just me or do i keep seeing the word aluminum can through out the entire post.. I really hope the new evo engine will out produce a 12FL OZ can of pepsi.

Glad i got my IX... I finally have something rare...
maybe my value will rise!

 

This is no suprise to me at all. I've said it and believed this for months, but people will believe whatever the want I suppose, even after the car comes out there will still be confusion.

That is not exactly true. All 4G63's found originally under the hood of Mitsubishi are made in Japan, including ones in Plymouth and Eagle branded turbo DSMs. The 1G motor was very close to the Galant VR-4 engine. The 2G motor is like an Evo III engine. Yes, by "screwed with" you could mean that the injectors were different, the turbos were different and in a few cases the intake manifolds were revised, but only because of the different power ratings of the cars. 195 and 210 for DSMs vs 250+ for early Evos.

But there was no dumbing down or screwing with of the engines that made them bastardized Chrysler 4G63's. Chrysler had nothing to do with turbo DSM powertrain development.

Hyundai designs have always been cribbed Mitsu designs, at least for the last 20 years or so. Even their newest engines and chassis are based on Mitsu tech. Whereas in the early 90's they cast their own 4G63/4s for Sonatas and Excels.

The World Engine may be new, but Mitsubishi working with Chrysler and Hyundai isn't and goes back as far as 1970. The fact that it is going to keep some of you up at night because the basic deisgn of an engine is going to be whored out among three (or four if you count Kia) companies to save dollars is rediculous when you consider Mitsu is fighting for survival and bringing us this car at all is a blessing. Each company is going to build their own version of it, in their own factories.

 

I have faith in Mitsubishi and Dr. Evo. I believe that technology makes things better. Look at Honda with their K-series engines. Everyone said the same about them getting rid of the B-series engine, they were so great, etc. etc. but the K-series engine is better in every respect. Same with the new Evo engine. I LOVE my IX MR and do not see any chance of trading on a X but I do believe that it will be a better car. I believe the engine will be great also. Relax everybody and enjoy the future!!

 

I talked about this with my wife the other day. The 8 is a legend already. Its the next supra. Im paying off my 8 and saving it for my future son. Its gonna be a while for the X to have GOOD aftermarket with reliabilty.

 

interesting, lets hope mitsu does a good job and knows what they are doing with the new engine

but seriously, mitsu must know that if they **** it up their sales will fall...ALOT, so i dont think they'll get it wrong even the evo X still looks ugly to me....i would much rather own an IX or VIII and from what i hear its gonna be pricier than the IX as well by atleast a few thousand

 

wow thats an old game...

but maybe the new evo will be something fresh... i love the 4g63 as much as the next evo lover but maybe it will be better ... maybe

 

i think this new motor will do everything better ( reliable , driveable, useable powerband and tuning , economy ) .....BUT for the hardcore racer looking for over 500awhp the 4g63 will remain top.....hopefully this doesn't effect evo8 and evo9 sales too positively as i want to buy another for daily use.....lol

 

Agree with prind0, Evolution = change for the better.
Why do some of you have such little faith in the very car maker that puts the smile on your face everytime you boost? It's gonna happen with or without you!

 

aww the great days of part commonality has finally hit the Evo.

 

My guess is that the head will be different, exhaust manifold and obvious turbo/awd

 

This situation will be very much like what Porsche experienced a few years back when they switched from air cooled engines to water cooled engines. You have the old school rock heads who said the new cars were crap and you had the guys driving the newer cars blowing the doors off the guys with the old cars. Yes, it will be different. Yes, you will have some guys who will hate the new engine but that is the whole point of the Evo to Evolve and get better. I am pretty confident that the new car will be unreal.
