Wow all i hear is a bunch of crying about an old iron block going away and how ugly the car looks. news flash Mitsubishi hasn't been in the black for years if they make a car that the dumb public will buy they make more money which is all any one cares about anymore. as for the block Subaru's block is aluminum, ferraris block is aluminum, I think its about time Mitsubishi moved out of the stone age. The gripe about the design of the block is ridiculous It is a joint venture of dcx, mitsu and hayundi for just the block the top end, pistons, and main bering is all different for each company so a lighter moter making the same HP sounds awesome to me.
The argument with people *****ing about the aluminum block is certainly warranted. Yes, the fact that other manufacturers use aluminum blocks may be true, that doesn't necessarily mean that it is superior. It is lighter, but it is ultimately not as durable as iron.
The name in the auto-manufacturing game is cost cutting, which is why they are making this aluminum "World Engine" move with the collaboration of DCX and Hyundai. But cost-cutting in the engine dept. doesn't necessitate longevity. I'm sure it will run fine for a stock motor running 20-21 lbs of boost, but I think most people on this forum are ultimately concerned with how the engine will respond to modification and the increase of boost pressure. I doubt you will see many high horsepower (500awhp & up) 4b11t evo's due to the aluminum block. You can basically forget 8 and 9 sec. runs on that motor as well.
My biggest gripe is keeping it a 2.0ltr when they aren't even a WRC contender anymore. Increasing displacement would allow for less boost, and ultimately less strain on the block, to make the same power. I really do hope the 4b11t proves to be as bullet-proof as the 4g63, but I suppose only time will tell.
