Have you thought about going to the MHI housing? MHI housing is going to have much better transient response and produce more low end TQ. With a good running 2.4 and compression it should be over 500whp + at 25ish psi. I remember checking out "Nils" time attack evo with a 2.3 and fp red mhi and it was badass. He won the Nitto street tire class for 4-5 years IIRC.


This isn't completely relevant but this is my car with the stock 2.0 ( 4.11 final drive) at a track day with an instructor. 25psi boost and its moving well by 4000rpm. I'm planning on going back this winter with my 2.2 and run it a bit harder, larger slick and more time.


Lack of oil will hurt the BB units so a Racefab oil pan, accusump and the other band aids are a good idea unless you can afford a dry sump. I believe alot of BB units met their demise because of oil starvation. EGT's can become an issue if you're running alot of boost.

what is MHI housing?

I assume everyone understands the rest of car and motor are fully built with all the mods and udpates for safety and reliability...BTW.

I have been locked out of EvoM due to PW reset not working. I'd like to get back to Andy Smedgards set up to get 11" rims to fit on all 4 corners. WOW! Love that.

Mitsu Heavy Industries. Internally gated turbine housing made by MHI. There are a couple sizes.

You're going to have a tough time fitting 11" wheels without either cutting inboard metal and getting aftermarket trailing arms in the rear and pulling the ever loving **** out of the front fenders or going to a widebody.

I've got 18x10.5 +10 in the front and +27 in the rear and I've thought long and hard about what I would have to do in order to fit 11" without using aftermarket body panels, expensive aftermarket control arms or putting holes in the car and I'm not sure I can. I wish there were more 285/30 or 295/30 options for tires. Right now I'm on a 275/35 and it's a tight fit everywhere.

MHI housing would be the OEM Mitsubishi turbine housing.
