Because Mitsubishi has its hands on EVERYTHING. There are probably a dozen items in your home that are made by, or have parts in them made by Mitsubishi. Thats why it can afford to stay in buisness when it hardly sells any cars.

Yep, they are a heavy industrial company which also manufactures many OEM turbos for Saab (I had a TD04 15t on my old Saab at one point) and obviously on cars like the Mitsubishi Evo.

Correct, the turbos are made by MHI, Mitsubishi heavy industries. Even though it's called Mitsubishi as well, it's a different company then the one that makes the cars, that's MMC, mitsubishi motor corporation. MHI also supplies the turbos for the BMW 335i, Porsche Panamera, Cayenne, Nissan Juke and many others. But they are less active in the aftermarket so therefore not as well known as Garrett or Borg Warner turbos.

WOW. I need to stay out of these theads. I told myself I would keep the Z simple. Now I want a turbo. Honestly, I think I could sell my wife on a GTR over a turbo....

Getting a bit closer to wrapping these things up. The dashes have to come out to custom install Defi gauges in the factory locations. After that, the cars should be ready to load up on our dyno for the tuning! I'll be sure to have videos of that once we do the dyno tune.
On to pics! More pics soon! |
