Anyone looked at mitsu's new mi-vec motors, they are backwards in the engine bay to the talon motors like ours and I have a source on them, just wondering if anyone in Korea has played with them since their 1.6 spits out 175 hp, and the 2.0 L v6 is a 220 hp monster. the 1.6 looks like an accent swap as does the 2.0 to a tibby if the swap prospect isn't to hard.

 

Where are these engines found in Brendan? (like models? like car models, not super models)

 

If engine mounts can be developed, that sounds like a good idea for everyone except those folks like me who live in Cali.

Where can I get more information on the web about those motors?

Yeah, i like that part. I believe that the 2.0 might even fit into the accent, since its only 2.0L. But still, it would be a bit*h getting parts for that motor.

 

Arg,...
i hate kali sometimes
if it wasnt for the weird nice weather, half naked ladies, and all the entertaining stuff,... i would have moved.
Im sure theres a way to get these motors here. You can always try to sneak one across the mexican border. Make it look dusty and say its a ford,...lol
OR
you can find a good mechanic and have them do the swap over there. It will be cheaper.

Either way,... i dont think mexico has GTO's,... but it will be easier to get them there instead of kali.

Why is it a no no in cali????

 

The only company in Korea (HKS) used Mitsubishi GTO engine from Japan, but they had problem of weight distribution, more like
70/30%. Very dangerous.

 

I thought we were talking about the FTO, not GTO.

 

y is this not allowed in california?????
