I'm sure someone will come out with a rotated mount. That was one thing that I love about the 4G63, the manifold and turbo are right up front.

 

Shouldn't be too much trouble if you can get under the car. The new Lancer GTS have plenty of room behind the engine so getting underneath the car should help getting to it.

 

i also liked the fact the turbo was up front,we'll just have to get creative on new turbos and piping.

 

what turbo is the X using? is it still a 16G?

 

no, an IHI - which usually means very quick spool but a lot less top end and probably limited boost pressure.

 

Why leave the turbo back there when you can always relocate it?




K-series engines have the same layout as the 4B11 (intake manifold in the front, exhaust in the back) and many people prefer to relocate the turbo.

 

I bet it will take a good 3-4 months before someone develops a free flowing solution that is both gives great power gains and is cost effective.

 

It is not using an IHI turbo, that would be stupid. Mitsu is going to use a Mitsu turbo. It isn't a full 16g, actually like a 15.2g if I remember right, but the exhaust side is bigger. Just because the wheel isn't as big of diameter doesn't mean it won't flow more. It should help with spool though.
