so does this mean good for us ?cuz i heard they have the same platform.:thumbup::rock::godance:

I believe both evo and caliber SRT-4 shares the same platform as well as engine design, but of course both dodge and mitsubishi made adjustments to both cars for different purpose. People on EvoM complained how the X shares the same engine as the cali SRT-4, but the way I see it is that the larger the after market support is for the 4B11T, the cheaper and efficient the mods will be. And besides, they seem to forget that 4G63 was used in a lot of vechiles, including vans. They talk like their shit don't stink.

edit: I just went through the whole thread. This is REALLY GOOD NEWS, lets hope Mitsubishi did a bit more than Dodge in terms of reinforcing the engine for more boost! :godance:

i dont think the srt line and the evo line will interchangeable

Ya, it is actually a different engine. The caliber runs onf 4B12, which is 2.4 litre....

nice info.

So its more the same Series of engine Different engine trim. LOL

yes but just think of the future modpath if you decide to go with a 2.4 build on the X. Things will be much cheaper with mopar in the picture and the potential for engine builds will be that much greater! I see this as a good thing.

Pretty interesting indeed!

think about it guys..... 2.4 SRT block (which is a straight DROP-IN) and a FP green turbo mated to that in your EVO X.

How cool is that?

Sounds like a good plan, you gunna do it? or shall i take over that build?

Not really feeling the 2.4L in my X. Would it minus the MIVEC or just swap block and keep the head?

the srt-4 engine comes with MIVEC, they just call it VVT

actually the 2008 lancer gts use the 4B12 2.4lt engine now. so basically their running the same engine just probably not built to handle boost.

i think the 4B11 and 4B12 will be somewhat interchangeable. the 4B12 is just a stroked version of the 4B11. thats what i read in motor trend. if u look at the honda K20 and K24. its basically the same thing. a stroked version with probably different internals.

this is gonna be good for the Evo X. u now get a drop in 2.4lt engine. which most likely uses the same cam design and well as other things. from what i read on the SRT-4 site, there room for that engine to be even stroked out further. can u picture a 2.8lt evo???? shit, the sti's had the advantage with being able to be stroked out that high. now its the evo X turn. haha, no hope for the STi now. :shades:

know what i just realized. the caliber has a AWD version. if they were to drop that 4B12 into that car..... damn might cuz some trouble out there for the evos and sti's.

true that, a 2.8L evo? that'll be crazy! Seriously, all this anticipation built up for everyone to go nuken futs on thier X with motor swaps, tunes, all that good stuff is making me crazy!:godance:

A 2.8L will never happen. The math just doesn't allow it to be realisitic. Also, the evo's 4B11T and the standard 4B11 are very different engines.

I haven't heard of the 4B12 2.4L being standard in the 08 Lancers though.

the 2.4L (4B12) is standard in the GTS version only of the 2008 lancers. the lower versions of the lancer get only the 2.0L. read the new motor trend (march 2008 issue) or visit ur local mitsu dealer to verify.

as for the 4B11T and 4B11. arent they the same block in size and build. with the evo engine being internally design and reinforced to handle boost better. so i would think technically they are the same engine, with the difference the evo version having more reinforcement.

as for the 2.8L not being possible. ive read and seen articles about some suby 4 bangers being stroked to 2.7L. so i would think it should be possible for the 2.4L engine in the SRT-4 to be able to be stroked out more. they even said on that SRT-4 forum, that there is room for the engine to being stroked.

all we can do is speculate about it right now. we'll see what happens by time the year ends. cuz by then we'll be seeing some stroked evo X and srt-4 engines.

The SRT4 does have room to be stroked, and i feel that a 2.8L could be possible. I will hand over the keys to my chevvy if we don't have 2.8L engines in an X here at RJ Customs by 2009. And everyone knows my chevvy keys stay firmly locked away!

from looking at it the CSRT-4 has a different engine the EVO X.

Take can put the engine in anything for all I care, it is the entire package that the EVO is that I care more for. You guys believe the CSRT-4 would actually handle as good as an EVO? I don't.

I reckon it could if tuned right mate

There would have to be a lot of suspension work done here. Would surpass the evos price tag.

We already have looked at the 2.4...kind of different. Open deck unlike the 4b11t, tubo oil drain is different, a couple of other little details are different. too bad...it was broken in shipping though.

UMS tuning, do you think that even though the blocks are different, that maybe the forged 2.4 rotating assembly could be machined to fit in the 4b11t block?

I would think so, it should just take custom pistons, assuming the crank bolt pattern, main, rod, thrust and trigger wheels are the same...just like the 4g63 2.3L kits.

according to the Mitsubishi tech video guide.
The 4b11 in the lancer and the 4b11T in the Evo is over 90% different engine including strength etc.
So how close can be the SRT 4 engine?

Agreed they are very, very dissimilar.

If anyone is thinking of increasing displacement it will be a more reliable, efficient and cheaper option to go with a specialty stroker kit rather than doing a swap job.
