Hello All,
I'm an FTO GR owner (and FTO club member) that's looking to drop a normally aspirated 6A13 engine into the car.
I've decided on the Normally Aspirated route mainly due to cost, but also due to problems with too much power being transferred to the tarmac through the front wheel drive being a problem in other FTO projects.
The 6A13 engine was developed my Mitsubishi for the US market, Diamante 2.5 6cyl 24v, but may have seen some Galant usage I believe. /Hmmm
I'm sourcing the engine from NZ (Kempy's).
The cars currently non-mivec 4 speed tip and I've sourced a set of Brembo calipers and Rotas for the front as the braking on the 2.0L leaves a little to be desired. :toilet:
I was wondering if you guys would have any suggestions/advice on any of the following
expected power output compared to the 6A12 non-mivec
potential problems I may come across
recommended manufacturers of custom downpipes in the UK
advice on gearboxes (I'd like a 6 speed manual if possible)
NOS
and anything else I haven't considered here.
Thanks in advance for any advice. When it's complete I hope you guys can pop over to the FTO stand at the 2006 shows and say hello. :chugchug:
