The GDi is the 2.4l engine ;) 150bhp Got the same engine over here but without the plastic :P

i had a look under plastic while i was putting it on lol
it looks better with the cover for some reason lol

where is the throttle body on these engines? %%%%ed if i can find it lol

Yeah, it looks much better with the plastic actually :P Give the plastic a paint job, that would look much better :D

You have to take the plastic cover off, it's down the back.....

4g63lover:

GDi = Gasoline Direct injection system ( Basically it's crap unless you live in japan and run 100 octane fuel in it. )

as opposed to the DiD which is Direct inject Diesel, which the Pajero's ( Montero ) have.

where do they hide the spark plugs in this thing?
theres no sure sign of them or even the leads... lol

**skyhigh90210** · 02-03-2008, 01:09 AM

everything should be under that big plastic cover

**icweirdppl** · 02-03-2008, 01:18 AM

all thats under the cover is 4 plugs and corrogated textured big chunk o metal lol

**icweirdppl** · 02-07-2008, 10:39 PM

whats the 000 at the top for?

**djflex167** · 02-07-2008, 11:06 PM

i wonder how that engine performs! is it the same as the one in here??

**whokilledhoughes** · 02-08-2008, 12:51 AM

Kind of, it's the same block, but different heads etc.... still a 4G64, but with GDI, which is slow and crappy, unless you run 100+ octane in japan

contrary to popular belief the GDI engine can run on lower octane just fine. The ECU is more than capable of learning a new ignition and fuel map curve. It'll just run alot more efficient on higher octane though. Because of its three stage burn, it runs lean by nature anyway. It's quite complex how GDI works, and the main problem with them is the earlier ones clogging up the inlet manifold, as they utilise masses of EGR which would cake up on the alloy intakes. The later ones run a bakelite manifold with smooth insides which stops the carbon from building up.

Have a mate who works at Mitsubishi and knows these GDIs inside out, he is the guy who trains up the technicians on how to service and repair them. In short the GDIs are not that suited to our fuel here though, the 2.4s are marginally better than the 1.8s.

**icweirdppl** · 02-11-2008, 01:39 AM

does this have really bright lights or something?
for as long as ive had this people flash there highs at me when im driving with my lows on... really pisses me off... doesnt light up any better than the hillman so i dont get people problem...

Yep, but the thing is, they still melt pistons even when they have been tuned to run on 95, 98 is still the better option.....
