    I thing "official" engine BREAKER would be sufficient !

    Agreed. You be at the end of the line as they come off. Must have the Steevo stamp of approval ( O.B. I.) or blacklist.Â* :lol:Â* All the Mitsu execs will be a shakin....

    Here's what we know: the engine responds better to modifications than the 4g63 (better efficiency). It can easily put down 400 whp with stock turbo and a few parts (low boost). Overbuilt engine for the power it has (i.e. parts higher grade than stock power, tune super conservative, etc.).

    Here's what we don't know: High boost reliability, 400 whp long term engine effects.

    I can't say that fully answers your question because there is "more" to it than just horse power potential. As i mentioned in the low boost arena the 4b11 (20G or Green Turbo) holds it's own better, but in the high boost (GT30+) arena I would guess the 4g63 would have the reliability due to it's closed deck construction.

    This 400whp figure that is being thrown around for the 4B11. Are these Dynojet numbers or Mustang
    dyno results?

    Dynojet. I don't see the point in having 400whp if it has to lug around another 400lbs.
