Now if only Mitsubishi decided to give us the turbo 4D68 as an option here in the states... think of all the possibilities. Massive torque, and near perfect fuel mileage!!

what r u talking about?
4d68t 2.0L turbo diesel:
92.71hp @ 4500rpm
144.64lb/ft @ 2500rpm
umm. that doesn't sound so spectacular to me.
Agreed, the 4g64 ain't a mileage champ, but its power and torque numbers are better than that, and diesel here is the most pricey fuel.Quote:

Diesels have so many issues with them the casual enthusiast/tuner isn't gonna be able to do much and see as much return with diesels as they can with gas engines. You would have to lean much more heavily on a proper tune (A/F ratios, valve and injector timing advance, etc.) with a diesel because the rev range is smaller. The conversation is moot unless you're talking turbodiesel, so since we're already turbo, upgrading your forced induction will eventually yield diminishing returns, so for the money, your performance isn't gaining as fast as it does with gas. There's more to it I'm leaving out, but on this forum, the point seems fruitless. Really, I think unless we're talking about a turbodiesel that's high-performance from the factory (BMW 335d comes to mind), it's not worth it to mod a diesel.
