G6 2.6 motors

Joined: 05 Jan 2004 Location: Campbelltown, Sydney

I don't own a Mitsubishi but my Raider is powered by a G6 2.6 motor. So thinking you guys would be in the know, do these motors respond to a bit of tweaking for more power (ie extractors chip mods for the EFI and so on). And if so then what would be the greater improvement for the Dollar? Confused

I assume your talking about the Mazda 2.6 EFI (I think they are a 3 valve/cylinder head ??). Earlier Bravo's and Raiders did have Mitsu carby 2.6's.
I don't know a lot about these motors but I guess you can start with the basics like exhaust (extractors/free flowing mufflers) and intake (snorkel/sports air filter). Beyond that a chip is about all you can without removing the head. What power gains you will achieve with this motor I cannot tell you. Or you can go for a turbo and get some serious power.
It all depends of course on how much you want to spend...............

Yep, raider=courier=B2600. EFI, 2 inlet valves, 1 outlet per cyl. The block is the same as the 92 magna. I was thinking of turbo or supercharger a litter further down the track but if a triton V6 will bolt up to the gearbox... Smile

In the short term, I'm looking to get more out of the 2.6 to drive larger wheels (34"). Transfer case is only 1:1/2.21:1 so is going to run outta puff even faster.

Which head is the most reliable and has more potential for power increases Question

My mate has a 96 bravo and is looking for more power Wink

Tried that, they don't make them any more and when they did, seems they only had adaptors for TH350 slush boxes.
