RPW hybrid Engine

[Shahrez]

Finally we are finishing this masterpiece. Combining the 6A12 DOHC Mivec 2.0 engine with the 2.5 Litre 6A13 Turbo Engine. The result - a 12.5 : 1 2.5 DOHC Mivec engine. Torque, rev's and a FTO Owners dream

Racing Performance Works -

6A12/6A12 Mivec Hybrid Engine

The plan - turn a normal every day FTO into something everyone fears - especially your wallet!!

Tech Specs

Mitsubishi 6A13 DOHC Mivec Hybrid Engine utilising 6A12 DOHC Mivec heads onto a 6A13 DOHC Turbo Engine block
RPW / CP Custom 12.5 : 1 Forged pistons suitable for NOS
Forged Steel 6A13 Conrods
Engine bored, honed and acid cleaned
RPW Ported and Polished Cylinder heads
RPW Valve springs and Vernier Camshaft Gears
RPW Stage 1 Improved Camshafts on high rpm lobes, custom 1/2 Grind improvement on low rpm lobes
Doesn't look like a lot but this 4 year project is nearing completion. Soon some lucky FTO owner will be fitting this into his vehicle, and have the ultimate combination of looks, torque, power, rpm. A 2.5 Litre 8500 rpm screamer - everything a FTO owner would dream about.

This engine has had the custom pistons and rods manafactured for this specific setup. Not really a hell of a lot more to say at this moment - other than enjoy the photos below. This engine is expected to be finished by the end of September 2006 and then into a FTO vehicle. Other external mods would more than likely be

RPW Modified 3-1 Extractors, custom long tube "Race Design" to accomodate longer engine block
RPW Modified customed aluminium billet flywheel with heavy duty cushioned multi paddle clutch
Haltech E11 ECU to control everything
RPW Modified intake manifold with larger 65mm throttle body
Larger 240cc Injectors to replace the stock 6A12 165cc Injectors
Before anyone asks - this engine is actually a combination of 3 engines - 6A12 DOHC Mivec, 6A13 SOHC, 6A13 DOHC Turbo engine. Yes we can build more of these but do not expect change out of $10,000 by the time we source all the components, custom make pistons, rods etc and don't even talk about the timing belt and tensioner setup. 1 year of hard work on that alone. But we are sure if you are keen, the results will show it.
