Go check out a Evo SE brochure at your local dealership. It says at the end of the paragraph on the left side:

"Now, as the idol and its believers race into a 10th generation, a new SE Package for the Lancer Evolution IX celebrates every clipped apex, every grazed redline, every hoisted trophy. The final 4G63 takes a victory lap."

Then look over at the far right side, there's a small picture of the Evo X concept. In a more faint and easily overlooked font color, it says 4B11.

Googling "Mitsubishi 4B11", you get to this page:

Scroll down to the 4B11 and you'll find the 4B11T which they claim on the 2008 Evo X. The fact that it's in a Mitsubishi brochure now, confirms it.

yep,

changed the name as they have gone to the an all aluminium engine...

[slinkovic]

Seems a lot of the community is very skeptical about the engine change... I wouldn't write it off yet, but it does kind of put the mod scene a few steps back for a little.

[Missile]

think of this a s a good thing... the 4g63 rocks... it absolutly rocks... look at how little the engine has actually changed/evolved over a 20 year or so period... not actually that much...

let mitsi hang its boots up and retire this absolute champion

[tUfRiCe]

all good things must come to an end an wen ure talkin evolution its just steppin aside for something better! those little jap blokes in there lab coats wouldnt build anything less than superior to previuos models

[Swoon]

I think after 10 generations of Evolution, the only thing that hasn't evolved is that engine type. So bring it on Mitsubishi, I'm sure the next engine will be just as regarded as the 4G63

[Entaran]

I think it'll be a shitload more responsive actually. The first three versions will be seriously overengineered until they get some durability figures, then they'll start retarding it.

IE: 6 bolt and 7 bolt cranks in VR4/e123 and so forth.

does this mean the cost of my car might actually go up....

ok i know its bringing up an old topic.. but i have two questions

1) will Evo X owners be banned from entering this forum?
2) and if so, are you's going to start a TEAM4B forum?


ok if you are still reading this and think im serious, im not... it was a Very lame joke due to boredom :shock:

[Evo-00x]

bahahahaa, you better lay off them drugs man :smt075

[lefty]

Relax, mitsu would not replace the 63 with a newer engine that is worse.

Im sure it will be even better !

Lan Evo's ftw

[jase]

seriously how often have they fucked up when actually making a better engine? like lorrie said.. 6/7 bolts

sohc>dohc

i'm sure it'll be fine... only issue is it will be 5 years until the good bolt on gear becomes cheap :roll:

[JayRome]

or if your that pedantic i'm sure someone will engineer the 4g63 back into the new evo....

[Gooch]

Is it going to be a totally new motor or based upon the current crop of base models.

Mitsub is owned by someone now arn't they? Do you think they may borrow a current engine block from maybe a 230SLK?? and go the supercharging route?

I wonder if we will see EVO KOMPRESSOR written on the rear of a Lancer?

I really have no idea but thought I would put this up?

Cheers

its a whole new motor.
