This is the only way Mitsubishi UK could justify their 2.6 starion as it was slower than the 2 Liter it replaced

It may be as slow as shit, but getting 4-500 miles (yes miles!) out of a tank, I think I can live with it for a while!

Is that true? 2.6L, turbocharged, 152bhp? Is that at the wheels? Even still, extremely light in the loafers! Its gotta be relatively easy to bump that up considerably? Or is it just that bad of an engine?

My 'X2 HR Holden was rated at 145bhp, obviously na and with only 3L, in 1967!

Remember, 152bhp in the UK is approx 400bhp in the USA.

Holy SHIT! That would be sweet if it were to work out like that. The '88-'89 cars were listed as 188 HP when they were shiny and new here State-side.

That jokes getting tired jrod......

Put it this way, why are all the 1200Hp 4G63 DOHC Engines in the US 2.0L when they could so easily be 2.4L.......same principle applies for the 2.0L vs 2.6L Staz, its all about RPM :beer

My theory is horribly miss-matched turbo. It's smaller that the one on the 2L FFS! Spools at nothing, but runs out of steam about 3000rpm too early.

they miss the part about 234ftlbs of torque at like 2400rpms or so, but damn, only 152hp, sounds like a non intercooled car.
